The Grand Duchy of Flandrensis was founded on 4 September 2008 by the Belgian Niels Vermeersch. The micronation is inspired by the medieval County of Flanders (''Pagus Flandrensis''). Flandrensis was firstly regarded by the founder as a hobby-micronation, later as an ecological venture, to raise awareness on [[ice]] melting and climate change. The micronation has its own identity cards, currency, newspaper, constitution and national anthem. | The Grand Duchy of Flandrensis was founded on 4 September 2008 by the Belgian Niels Vermeersch.
