Why does the Turkish national anthem does not contain the words "Turk" or "Turkish" but only refer to an ambiguous "nation"? Is there a reason why?

The United States national anthem doesn't contain the words "America" or "American" either. It just refers to an ambiguous "land."

National anthems aren't written to be so. The people just decide to adopt a song that means something to them.
