New Zealand is one of only three countries that have two official (and of equal standing) national Anthems. The first is God Save the Queen (the English National Anthem) and the other is God Defend New Zealand. The other two countries with two anthems are Denmark and Canada which both have a Royal Anthem and a State anthem.

Actual on-topic: Many highways and federal buildings in the US were constructed to accommodate military vehicles such as tanks and act as secondary runways/emergency landing strips for fighters and bombers - overpasses were intended to hide them, as well. Department of Public Safety buildings (they're the most common these days anyway, most government buildings are office complexes now) from the Cold War era typically resemble military bunkers because they either do bomb shelters, or were to be made to look like actual military sites in order to draw attention to a false target.
