Short history of the national anthem

It may seem odd to hear that the melody of the national anthem of Liechtenstein, a central European kingdom with no ties to Great Britian at all in its history, would be exactly the same as the familiar God Save the Queen, but, as the Liechtenstein anthem, it is entitled "Oben am jungen Rhein". This link might be explained by its close ties to neighbouring Switzerland, who has also used the melody as its anthem in its past (as well as nearby Prussia, and later Germany, at the time). The lyrics were first written and adopted in 1850, and were changed slightly in 1963 (the original lyrics mentioned Liechtenstein's membership in the German confederacy (Holy Roman Empire)).
