The Free State of Ranshara was founded on August 16, 2012, in order to create a new micronation in which to retain Kuhugi culture. On August 17, the following day, Prairie View Park was annexed into Ranshara and divided into Northwest District, North District and Northeast District, following with nearby land in the following days. It's currently looking for citizens (dual citizenship is acceptable in Ranshara).
