Frijjoēi Autonomous Prefecture

The Frijjoēi Autonomous Prefecture is an autonomous region of the Westlandic Republic comprising of the island of Frijjoēi, the smallest of Westland's main islands. The prefecture is home to 14 cooperative communities which nominally operate outside of the political jurisdiction of the Westlandic government. The island has become a centre for counter-cultural and anarchist movements in Europe due to the lack of centralised authority and relaxed restrictions.

Frijjoēi, although technically part of Westland, the island has restrictions on the free movement of people and goods which is subject to the decision of the Frijjoēi Council which consists of elected representatives from each community on the island. The government of the prefecture is decentralised to each community, with all decisions made subject to popular approval. The island has a total population of 197,000 people as of 2015.

The autonomous prefecture was established in the 1960's as part of a social experiment. While it was initially meant to be temporary when the Westlandic government moved to revoke the prefecture's autonomous status in 1981, there was public outcry, and after months of uncertainty the island was granted to remain autonomous.
