Welcome to Lesser Danubia
Lesser Danubia is a group of four territories on the right bank of the Danube river, which are New Apatin, North Danubia, Central Danubia, and South Danubia. These territories are Gaplan soil under the terra nullius principle of international law.
Lesser Danubia, while not as historic as the Princess Islands, is still a beautiful sight. Stepping onto legitimate Gaplan territory is a wonderful experience and you will have the opportunity to contribute ideas to the eventual settlement of Lesser Danubia and even apply to become a settler.
Lesser Danubia is the most accessible of all of the territories, as the Croatian border police does not blockade the area like the Princess Islands. It is also inexpensive to visit.

You are welcome to stay in the Princess Islands while your application for settlement is being processed, and you will not be removed by the police even if you are staying for over two weeks. You have 72 hours to vacate the area if your application for settlement is rejected and if you have exceeded your two week camping limit. You are not permitted to construct buildings on Lesser Danubia without permission from the Gaplan government, in the past this has resulted in destruction by border police as it violates Croatia-Gapla diologue.
