To understand Lyrica and its rich history on the net, we must also trace the lineages of other micronations. The Lyrican Republic was the rightful successor state to the now defunct Republic of Interland. Founded by Peter Krembs in 1999, the Republic of Interland was a popular and well-respected micronation that gained noteriety among the online micronational community for its democratic institutions and active culture. Interland fell on hard times, however, which culminated in a coup d'etat against founder and sitting president, Peter Krembs. Krembs and the loyalists took up "residence" in Lyrica, which was then a province of Interland that had already had an active separatist movement. Krembs declared independence from Interland, and the Lyrican province was allowed to peacefully secede. Interland would later join Attera before regaining its independence to become a member of the Grand Commonwealth.
Krembs had himself been a Cyberian citizen before his joining Interland and founding Lyrica. A few Cyberians like Peter Hickey and Austi Scot joined the Lyrian Republic, a thriving political culture similar to Cyberia’s formed, and the country made a map of itself - the only pre-existing map to be incorporated onto the MCS Map (also known as Lyrica). Soon Lyrica gained some original citizens unassociated with Cyberia, of whom them most important were Mark Buhr and Matt Hanson, both smart, affable people with an interest in politics who were difficult to tell apart.
The flag shown in the infobox is that of the Second Republic of Lyrica, which went inactive in 2004. No data remains on the First Republic founded in 2000.
