"In 1997, the residents of the area declared the Republic of Užupis, along with its own flag, unofficial currency, president, cabinet of ministers, a constitution written by Romas Lileikis and Tomas Čepaitis, an anthem, and an army of approximately 11 men. The army has since been retired. The residents of the self-declared republic celebrate this independence annually on Užupis Day, which falls on April 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U%C5%BEupis"

"Artists' neighborhood that declared themselves an independent republic, in the same vein as Copenhagen's Christiana. They have a currency, constitution, cabinet, and more! Worth a visit for the street art everywhere. "
