The "Himno Real" (Creeperian: Հիմնո Րեալ;[note 1] translated from Creeperian Spanish as: "Royal Anthem"), sometimes referred to by leftists during the Second Parliamentary Era as the "Monarchists' Anthem" (Creeperian Spanish – Iberic: "Himno de las'Monarquistas"), is the official national and royal anthem of Creeperopolis. The anthem, lasting over eleven minutes in its entirety, is one of the longest national anthems in the world.
The national anthem was first written in 1844 by lyricist Juan Cañas Carmelo, and composer Juan Aberle Sforza composed the music in 1845. The same year, Emperor Adolfo III made the "Himno Real" the official national and royal anthem of Creeperopolis, relinquishing the previous anthem which had been in use from 1565 to 1729 and again from 1730 to 1845. Sometimes, the "Himno Real" is erroneously called the "Himno Nacional Creeperiano" (Creeperian National Anthem), which is actually the name of the prior anthem which "Himno Real" replaced.

History
Composition and adoption
In 1842, Emperor Adolfo III ordered the writing of a new Creeperian national anthem to replace then then "Himno Nacional Creeperiano" (translated as "Creeperian National Anthem"), which was a remnant of the First Parliamentary Era (1565–1771) being in use since 1565.[note 2] Juan Cañas Carmelo was selected to write the anthem by the Emperor himself due to his background in lyrical composition. In 1843, he presented a completed draft of what he entitled simply "Himno Real" ("Royal Anthem"), and it was approved by the Emperor, who then selected Juan Aberle Sforza to compose music for the new national anthem. The following year, both Cañas Carmelo and Aberle Sforza presented to Adolfo III the completed anthem, which he accepted as the new national anthem of Creeperopolis on 15 September 1845.

Laws and regulations
Although there are three verses with the chorus interspersed throughout, only a single rendition of the chorus and first verse are commonly sung at many events, as a full performance can take more than eleven minutes to complete. Complete performances are reserved for Imperial and Papal coronations, Imperial and Papal funerals, Imperial weddings, canonization of saints, and military parades. For sporting events, only the chorus is played.
