A Šoveta Allam (Jackian: The Cooperative State) is the national anthem of Entropan. The lyrics were written by Alf Bremseth and composed by Anny Sander, with the song initially being intended as an anthem for the Entropanian cooperative movement.

Following the Cooperative State governmental policies enacted by the Progressive Socialist Party, starting in 2010, there had been increasing calls from the left-wing (hard cooperatist) of the party to replace the national anthem, then the National March, with A Šoveta Allam. Eventually, replacing the national anthem was made part of Håkon Martinsen's manifesto for the 2016 Progressive Socialist Party leadership contest, and it became part of the policies packaged into the 2020 Entropanian Transition Referendum.

The future, it is bright If it is not, it shall be made so We cooperate so we can build a better world In the spaces where they miss us We find our home Our duty is first to people, no allegiance remains truer The future, it is bright If it is not, it shall be made so We cooperate so we can build a better world Under open skies We stand as one Classless, casteless, united & indivisible There is no moral absolute But that which makes all benefit Strive for all – cooperate – and we shall progress The future, it is bright If it is not, it shall be made so We cooperate so we can build a better world
