The Principality of Gapla was the predecessor state of the Federated States of Gapla. It was originally founded by Wyatt Baek on February 28, 2019, and then was switched to the modern Federated States of Gapla. The flag has stayed the same, with the exception of minor adjustments for standardization and sizing, although the coat of arms and the national anthem have changed a few times.

It was created as a revival and a successor state of the United Republics of Gapla and Phoenix, the founder's previous micronation. It grew much larger than its predecessor and eventually was renamed to the current Federated States of Gapla.
