Independence
The Republic of Sprelbuerg existed from 2011–2016 and was founded by Aqua until it was made part of Ceticilia, originally as inuncorporated territory. Though Borkenfels was an open republic which had voting rights for every citizen, usually only people in the People's Party voted in presidential elections. The last presidential election was held in 2013. Nearing the end of the republic a new flag 
was adapted that ultimately replaced the old flag 
.
