Reveal the answer

Answer: Spain

Also accepted: Kingdom of Spain, España, Espana

Spain's national anthem, the "Marcha Real," is one of the oldest in the world, dating back to the 1700s, and it has no official words. Lyrics were added under certain past regimes, but they were dropped, and attempts to write new ones haven't been adopted. That's why Spanish athletes stand silently or hum along at events like the Olympics.
