Republic of Gulating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Republic of Gulating is an artistic project with serious political aims. On 4 June 2005 Western Norway was declared an independent state, "Republikken Gulating".[1] This took place during a regional festival, "Kystfestivalen 61° Nord"[2][3] in Gulen, north of the regional capital Bergen. The instigator behind the project, Øyvind Heitmann, was declared «pride minister» by Magnor Midtun, local historian, acting as president of the region in a Viking play, Hakonarspelet. The project wants to increase the independence of the region through political and cultural influence.
