Rome's Riddling Cards: Classical Riddles for a more... civilized age.

The third is a medal,

for a long forgotten lover,

of the languages of yore, (ah, so romantic),

its land is like no other.

The medal is shiny,

common for rings, (ah, so much romance!),

when he asks what it’s made of,

What do they sing?

Le finale en FRANCE! (Illyria, honhonhonhon!)

What does the UN want you to get?

Hint One, from a Germany

Ach! Hallo, klein one! SrDrT jostles fur position, while SQDDR is already high above. Affirming magic has to do with planks, and the Japanese neighbor doesn’t really exist, mein kleine Freund(or Freundin, Ich kann’t forget…).

Hint Two, from the UN

Rotate the first, translate the second, be wary of the third, watch the fourth, and combine the fifth. Of the first, of course. The third main is own-solvable, of course! But you need the others to understand France.

Hint Three, from another Germany

Hmmm... maybe these were too hard... Don sounds like he's a model. And remember, rotate the first one only its number! As for the third puzzle, the medal is a metal. The lover is a country, but its language is far away from its roots.

Hint Four, from a Switzerland jeweler

From what I hear, the third was popular in the 1960's and such. By the way, he isn't very big and he's young.

Hint Five, from inside you

You feel the friend is somewhat imaginary, that third country seems lonely…

Hint Six, from the third

Sometimes, people think I have a monster inside of me. Other times, I'm just an irrelevant communist. But I'm not.

Hint Seven (i think i made this too hard)

Didn't know that it was FRENCH that diverged most from its roots in LANGUAGE, but it's in places, @WoomyRogue!

Hint Eight, from Mater Romae

It's a special metal. 78/799, but only for May the Fourth be with you.

PROGRESS THUS FAR

@xyldke has solved Rome's Riddling Cards (almost)! Now y'all need to solve Germany's Cryptics Factory to solve China's.
