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.
