thats a fascist motto.
all mottos in spain were removed with the transition to democracy. theres no motto.

The Belgian motto used to be our motto during our republican times. Except ours was in Dutch.

The current Dutch one is the motto of the royal family.

Wut? The fascist motto was "una, grande y libre". "Plus ultra" is from Carlos I and it's official considering it's in the coat of arms of Spain.

Portugal's is part of its national Epic Poem: "Os Lusíadas".

It's from the 3rd chapter where Camões describes the countries of Europe east to West and ends at Portugal:

Eis aqui, quase cume da cabeça
De Europa toda, o Reino Lusitano,
Onde a terra se acaba e o mar começa,
E onde Febo repousa no Oceano.
Este quis o Céu justo que floresça
Nas armas contra o torpe Mauritano,
Deitando-o de si fora, e lá na ardente
África estar quieto o não consente.

Esta é a ditosa pátria minha amada,
A qual se o Céu me dá que eu sem perigo
Torne, com esta empresa já acabada,
Acabe-se esta luz ali comigo.
Esta foi Lusitânia, derivada
De Luso, ou Lisa, que de Baco antigo
Filhos foram, parece, ou companheiros,
E nela então os Íncolas primeiros."

It's pretty cool, but "ditosa" is more "fortunate" than "happy" in the context.

Plus Ultra was the motto of the 2nd Republic and it was reinstated after the Franco dictatorship ended. We even had a joint military brigade with Latin American nations in Iraq called Brigada Plus Ultra.

Isn't it a faux-answer to a Latin phrase close to "no further beyond", to which Spain finds something further beyond (that being America, at the time)

>>73179468
Yes, exactly

>>73179544
It's pretty cool and succinct, actually. Kind of badass.

Brazil did the same with "Ordem e Progresso", since it comes from something like "Amor por primeiro, depois Ordem e Progresso" (First love, then order and progress), implying that they already have the more important of the three, love, presenting the other two as a bonus more than a goal, but they get shat on all the time for it. Should've gone with Latin, I guess.

I don't think taking ''non'' from a popular saying is something to be proud off.
The original saying is way cooler.
The fact that you say''Plus ultra'' even though Portugal and azores more western than the straits of gibraltar is pretty funny

A while back there was a tennis tournament where the American staff started playing the German anthem because a German player was up. However, the Americans started from the first stanza (where you'd logically start), which starts with "Deutschland über alles". In modern Germany the first stanza is deemed "Nazi" so they usually start from the third stanza ("Einigheit und Recht und Freiheit"). The female German tennis player literally started CRYING because of this.

Don't know about the other royal mottos, but ours is the one that was chosen by the king at the time of his ascension. His grandfather had a differemt one, and so will his daughter. It's not a permanent fixture, it's the individual king's motto, not the Crown's.

Ours comes from Os Lusiadas, which is an epic poem, in our own language, not latin, that tells the history and feats of our nation till that point.
So the motto implies pride in our nation and the will to protect it. Plus, it sounds quite badass and poetic in Portuguese. Which is why we fucking love it.
