Autonomous Egean State

The Autonomous State of the Aegean Sea was created in the Dodecanese by the Italians in 1912 and lived until 1915.
According to Neubecker, a flag for this state never existed.

Jaume Ollé, 9 August 1999

I once received a note from Dr. Ottfried Neubecker who told me that there never was a flag for the Egean Islands or state.

Principality of Pindus

I received news about an Italian puppet state in Northwest Grece during the Second World War. Its name was Principality of Pindo. The Pindo region is in southern Albania and northwestern Greece. The small state was created in the period of the Italian occupation in North Grece, as fatherland of the ethnic Aromanians.

During the second World War an autonomous 'Principality of the Pindus' was declared by an extremist named Alcibiades Diamandi of Samarina, consisting of Epirus, Macedonia and all of Thessaly, with Diamandi as Prince and a compatriot as head of the 'Roman Legion' - an army of Vlakh fascists.
