New Order: State of the Nation (1986)

The flipside to State of the Nation is Shame of the Nation.

From Discogs:
New Order's twelfth single, released September 1986, as third collaboration with John Robie.

While neither of the tracks is included on the UK vinyl LP of "Brotherhood", the UK CD of Brotherhood has State and the deluxe cassette of Brotherhood has both, State and Shame. On a rare occasion, the band broke form by not only giving the song a title that referenced the lyrics but is also featured in the chorus.
It's a good track.
