PorkBean’s Lanfang Republic
The Lanfang Republic was established in 1777 in West Kalimantan, Borneo. It was one of the earliest modern republics in the world, predating the declaration of the United States as a republic by almost a decade. Lanfang was a self-governing mining company or "kongsi" federation established by Chinese workers, mostly Hakka, that emigrated to the region during the 18th and 19th centuries. Mining communities would elect representatives to the central governing body, which would elect a president and consult the citizens on matters of state. The republic prospered until the weakening of the mainland Qing dynasty, leading to the eventual Dutch conquest of Lanfang in the late 19th century.
