Bonaterra, officially the Grand Duchy of Bonaterra (Italian: Granducato di Bonaterra,Greek: Μεγάλο Δουκάτο της Μπονατέρα) was a micronation in Europe. It borders Italy and Greece. Its capital is Karaiskakis, but this name is disputed and unofficial. Its government type is a "Federal Semi-Constitutional Parliamentary Grand Duchy". The Grand Duchy dissolved de facto in early 2022. The former province of Morselli is now part of Ostton as Free Canton of Bonaterra.
