The Free State of Antwerp (Vrijstaat Antwerpen) was a province of the Virtual United Provinces. It was founded on 14 January 2007. On 21 January 2007 it ratified the Union of Utrecht 2007, forming the United Provinces with the Free State of Ghent.
Antwerp was a direct democracy with a somewhat bureaucratic culture. Legislative power resided with the entire populace. Head-of-state was the regent, who was also directly elected. Calvin was the province's only regent.
On 11 June 2008 all provincial autonomy was given up and the free state ceased to exist.
