National Symbol	Type	Media	Notes
Liberation Pennon	National Flag	File:Govicflag.png	Adopted by popular vote after the Govic Revolutionary War, the Liberation Pennon was designed and named by photographer and painter Walz Bautist in 1948. The design rejects the classical tricolour as imperialist while preserving the blue white and gold. The design imitates waves upon a beach while also representing the Merands in blue and Curgovs in gold. Two stars in canton also represent the twin kingdoms, taken from common military symbolism of the period.
Imperial Arms of the Union of the Merands, Curgovs, and Besrans	National Coat of Arms		The coat of arms of the Casir and a representation of the noble arm of the country. Though each Casir has his own personal coat of arms, the Arms of the Union were selected as a static representation of the throne in the 19th century. They are styled after the arms of the Casir Joinnes IV in 1814, but are to be changed in the event of the admission or dismissal of any provinces from the union. The Arms of the Union remain one of the most prominent uses of the old imperial tricolour.
"En urn Algody Vuno Aiwins!" ("United Forever in our Prosperity!")	National Motto		The national motto was selected by committee during reformation in the 1950s but actually stems from a quote from 18th century nobleman Wilhaim var Stolsing after the annexation of Milescia. Commonly shortened to just "Vuno!"
"Curgovaz, se Slaucz / Daunarslaucz" ("Curgovs, to War!" / "Lightning War")	National Anthem		Mero-Curgovina uniquely has two official variations of the national anthem. The original Curgov patriotic song "Curgovaz, se Slaucz" was written in the Ermangairnic period as a marching song, and was later adopted as a partisan song during the Govic Revolutionary War. During the post-revolution reformations, the song was rewritten to remove anti-Merand sentiment. Originally the official march of the new Mero-Curgov military, "Daunarslaucz" replaced the royalist national anthem in 1953.

Boar	National Animal	File:Boar2.jpg	The use of the boar as a cultural symbol predates both modern Merandy and Curgovina. The symbol was first found in the crests and armour of Govic warriors in the 7th century, and even earlier through boar skin cloaks. The boar symbolizes fortitude, fertility, community, and connection to the earth. Two white boars flank the country's coat of arms.
Dimar's Eagle	National Bird	File:Dimareagle.jpg	Just as the boar represents Govic culture, Dimar's eagle represents the islands Besra and Milescia. The animal is found across the Eurybian coast. It is represented in the national coat of arms as the heraldic symbol of Besra.
