Senarica
Senarica (in Old Italian: ''Sinarcho'') is a village in the Abruzzo region of central Italy. With a population of fewer than 300 people, it is a ''frazione'' of the ''comune'' of Crognaleto. The Vomano River flows nearby and the village is visible on a spur overlooking the gorge of the river. It is west of Teramo City, in the Province of Teramo. History Senàrica and the neighbouring village Poggio Umbricchio became independent in circa 1343, when Queen Joanna I of Naples granted the area independence because of the inhabitants' fierce opposition against the enemy troops of Milan under Lord Luchino I Visconti's relative Ambrogio Visconti. Impressed by the splendor of the dogal Republic of Venice, Senàrica rulers adopted a similar republican government, with an elected Doge (title), doge as head of state. The king of Naples Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinand IV did not believe in the existence of the independent republic and sent some officials to Senàrica for investig ...

List Of Republics
This is a list of republics. For ancient history, antiquity (or later in the case of societies that did not refer to modern terminology to qualify their form of government) the assessment of whether a state organisation is a ''republic'' is based on retrospective analysis by historians and political theorists. For more recent systems of government, worldwide organisations with a broad political acceptance (such as the United Nations), can provide information on whether or not a sovereign state is referred to as a republic.

European Microstates
A European microstate or European ministate is a very small sovereign state in Europe. In modern usage, it typically refers to the six smallest states in Europe by area: Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City. Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco and Vatican City are monarchies (Vatican City is an elective monarchy ruled by the Pope). These states trace their status back to the first millennium or the early second millennium except for Liechtenstein, created in the 18th century. Microstates are small independent states recognised by larger states. According to the qualitative definition suggested by Zbigniew Dumieński (2014), microstates can also be viewed as "modern protected states, i.e. sovereign states that have been able to unilaterally depute certain attributes of sovereignty to larger powers in exchange for benign protection of their political and economic viability against their geographic or demographic constraints."

Republic Of Cospaia
The Republic of Cospaia (, local dialect: ''Republica de' Cošpäja'') was a small state in northern Umbria, now in Italy, that was independent from 1440 to 1826. It was in what is now the hamlet () of Cospaia, in the municipality () of San Giustino, in the Province of Perugia. History Cospaia unexpectedly gained independence in 1440 after Pope Eugene IV, who was embroiled in a struggle with the Council of Basel, made a sale of territory to the Republic of Florence. By error, a small strip of land went unmentioned in the sale treaty, and its inhabitants declared themselves independent. The misunderstanding arose from the fact that about 500m from the stream that was to establish the demarcation (simply called "Rio"), there was another stream with the same name. The delegates of the Florentine Republic considered the "Rio" that was located further north as the new delimitation, but the delegates of the Papal States considered it to be the one further south. Thus, a sort of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Italian States
Italy, up until its unification in 1861, was a conglomeration of city-states, republics, and other independent entities. The following is a list of the various Italian states during that period. Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the arrival of the Middle Ages (in particular from the 11th century), the Italian Peninsula was divided into numerous states. Many of these states consolidated into major political units that balanced the power on the Italian Peninsula: the Papal States, the Venetian Republic, the Republic of Florence, the Duchy of Milan, the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of Sicily. Unlike all the other Italian states of the medieval and early modern period, the republics of Venice and Genoa, thanks to their maritime power, went beyond territorial conquests within the Italian Peninsula, conquering various regions across the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

Frazioni Of The Province Of Teramo
A ''frazione'' (: ''frazioni'') is a type of subdivision of a ''comune'' ('municipality') in Italy, often a small village or hamlet outside the main town. Most ''frazioni'' were created during the Fascist era (1922–1943) as a way to consolidate territorial subdivisions in the country. In the autonomous region of the Aosta Valley, a ''frazione'' is officially called ''hameau'' in French. In South Tyrol, a ''frazione'' is called ''Fraktion'' in German and ''frazion'' in Ladin. Description The term ''frazioni'' refers to the villages or hamlets that often make up a ''comune'' in rural Italian areas. Subdivision of a ''comune'' is optional; some ''comuni'' have no ''frazioni'', but others have several dozen. The ''comune'' usually has the same name of the '' capoluogo'', but not always, in which case it is called a ''comune sparso''. In practice, most ''frazioni'' are small villages or hamlets, occasionally just a clump of houses. Not every hamlet is classified as a ''frazione'' ...

Flags Of The World (website)
Flags of the World (abbreviated FOTW or FotW) is an Internet-based vexillological association and resource, dealing with both modern and historic flags. Beginning as a Yahoo Group, in 1993, the website was established in 1995 by Giuseppe Bottasini, a computer engineer from Milan. It became a member of the International Federation of Vexillological Associations (FIAV) in 2001. Readers submit contributions via a mailing list. It has been called the most all-encompassing flag databases on the web, with over 19,000 pages by mid 2003. Flags of the World renders most of its images of flags in the GIF format, with a standardized and limited colour palette. A standard height of 216 pixels is used, a number chosen to make division into many different numbers of stripes possible, although other close pixels heights can sometimes be used. The site has come under criticism for both the quality of its images and a perceived lack of reliability. Flags of the World also maintains the " ...
