Northern Coria Act

The Northern Coria Act was adopted by the Senate of the Lakes on 4.II.1754 following the 1753 Northern Coria sovereignty referendum.

The Act resulted in the authorization of cession of the municipalities of Communities of Rural Parishes, the Steppe of Rekozemlje, Krava, Ravna, and Palanka to Çakaristan, assuming Çakaristan accepted the conditions. The remaining Northern Corian municipalities would be reorganized as the Corian Realm of Mitrovska and Niš.
