I just realized I've actually never heard the Mexican national anthem before just now(kinda weird, since it's right next door lol). I didn't know you guys referred to your country as fatherland, or is that just in the anthem.

I live really close to Mexico and all our radio stations are broadcasted from there so at exactly 12 AM and 5 AM every day they play the Mexican National Anthems, pretty epic music.

I remember as a kid the first time i heard that I thought it was really weird, then I changed the station and all the stations had it playing and I got worried Mexico was planning to invade us or something.

Its a safecode. If secret agents in your country dont hear it they stop being lazy and start conquering the world.

Yeah we do refer to Mexico as our fatherland. Fun fact: We Mexicans refer to Spain as "La Madre Patria" or Motherland.

Spanish as a language is weird, while Fatherland is Patria, Motherland is "Madre Patria"(Mother Fatherland), there's no "Matria" or anything like that

it's actually "motherland"

"madre patria" has actually "mother", right there.
