Manchukuo, officially the State of Manchuria was founded in 1932 after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In 1934 it became a constitutional monarchy, under the de facto control of Japan. It had limited international recognition.
The first national anthem of the State of Manchuria was “Nation’s Foundation Song” (Traditional Chinese: “建國歌”; Pinyin: “Jiàn guógē”). The lyrics were written by Manchukuo's first Prime Minister Zheng Xiaoxu, who was a devout Confucianist and Qing loyalist in addition to being an poet.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
There is the new Manchuria on Earth.
The new Manchuria is our new land.
Let us make our country to be upright and free of sadness.
With only love and no hatred,
Thirty million people, thirty million people,
at ten times more we should still be free.
