NATIONAL ANTHEM OF BASQUE

The Autonomous community of the Basque Country is one of the territories where Basque is spoken. The modern extend of Basque speaking territories are also called the Basque Country (Basque: "Euskal Herria").

The following provinces make up the Autonomous Community: * Alava (Spanish Álava, Basque Araba), capital Gasteiz (Spanish Vitoria) * Biscay (Spanish Vizcaya, Basque Bizkaia), capital Bilbao * Guipuscoa (Spanish Guipúzcoa, Basque Gipuzkoa), capital Donostia (Spanish San Sebastián)

Before the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and its system of autonomous communities, these three provinces were known in Spanish as the Provincias Vascongadas. The political structure of the autonomous communities is defined in the Gernika Statute, which was approved by the majority in a referendum, that was boycotted by part of the population, on October 25, 1979. In 2003, the governing Basque Nationalist Party proposed to alter this statute through the Ibarretxe Plan. The project, though approved by majority in the Basque chamber, was finally rejected by a large majority in the Spanish Cortes.

@avalonadam What a load of rubbish, Scotland is better economically out of the United Kingdom! The wishes of the people have never been respected by the Unionist Parties, they have constantly blocked a referendum on independence, thankfully the SNP have a majority in the Scots Parliament now!

El titulo está obviamente mal, no puede ser himno nacional si es simplemente una comunidad autónoma.
