The Anthem Conflict was a diplomatic conflict between the governments of the Kingdom of Krasnocoria and the Florian Republic over the alleged Krasnocorian accusations of the Florians stealing the certain melodies for their anthem of the song of the Krasnocorian composer Đorđe Jović, which later became the anthem of Krasnocoria.
Background
The Kingdom of Krasnocoria was founded on 24 June 2018, by the merge of Kingdom of Coria and Krasnarus. A week earlier, the various musical composers were called up in Grandbay with their ideas of the anthem of the future united Krasnocorian state. The Corian King Jovan I, with the support of the Ministries of Culture of both merging sides, decided upon the composition of the young composer Đorđe Jović, named "Bože Pravde/Боже Правде" (English: God of Justice).

Both sides were, broadly speaking, aware that their anthems had exact same melody in certain parts, however it mostly didn't attract significant attraction in the wide masses. There were occasions of Krasnocorian sports fans booing the Florian anthem because of the same reason, with chanting "Thiefs!".
Conflict
On 25 August 2019, the Krasnocorian Ministry of Culture issued a statement that "even though they were tolerating the Florian anthem to this day, it is time for them to stop". The Florian anthem, how the statement claims, "hits the pride of every Krasnocorian" and "should be changed as soon as possible". The Florian administration responded with the arguments that "the only way to change the anthem would be by referendum, not by force", but later the officials came out with the statement that Florian Republic will not change it's anthem by any means, and slammed the Krasnocorian government as silly and pathetic over threat of a war on the matter. However, with the ongoing MHL Junior World Championships held in Floria, the government have decided to not play the national anthem until issue is resolved. Later that day, the Krasnocorian King Jovan I called up an emergency session of the Security Council of Krasnocoria, comprised of highest officials of Krasnocorian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence.
