ABOUT
HISTORY
The Republic of Vokkshågen was officially founded on July 24th, 2017 by Grand Duke Anderson VI. He established a presence on social media and appointed her majesty Caylyn as Grand Duchess. The nation claimed a small, unnamed, uninhabited island in the Mississippi Sound specifically in Portersville Bay of Alabama. The self proclaimed duchy quickly began establishing things like currency, government, the flag, laws, the coat of arms, and this website. The government has assured that by 2018, Vokkshågen will have infrastructure including a dock, a shed, a sailboat garage, and possibly more buildings. The Royal Engineer Corps have considered working on protections for the island as all of the nation is able to sink with even a tropical depression. The micronation is mainly known for sailing.
Flag
The Vokkish flag consists of a Nordic cross flag. (Wikipedia: The cross design represents Christianity, and the characteristic shift of the center to the hoist side is early modern, first described the Danish civil ensign (Koffardiflaget) for merchant ships in a regulation of 11 June 1748, which specified the shift of the cross center towards the hoist as "the two first fields must be square in form and the two outer fields must be 6/4 lengths of those".). It is used by many Nordic countries to this day. The yellow represents the beautiful sandy Vokkish coastline. The blue represents the sea which is an important part of the nation, which is why it cuts through the flag. The Nordic cross shape was adopted due to the Scandinavian origins of Vokkshågen and because of it's christian cross as Christianity is a very important part of the nation.
