Gaplastovia and Cristus are two distinct territories on the west bank of the Danube River, together forming the Gapla’s main territories. Both areas offer stunning views of the Danube and are rich in breathtaking natural beauty.

These territories were claimed by the Federated States of Gapla due to their former status as terra nullius: at the time, no valid territorial claim was held by any country. Gapla’s mission is to establish a new, fair, and innovative nation and community on these territories. The Gaplan government invites you to explore these territories and even consider settlement opportunities.
