Examples
See Category:Peasant Republics for a complete list.


 * The most known and most notable example is probably the Peasants' Republic of Dithmarschen. Which is probably most famous for the Battle of Hemmingstedt. Knowledge of the country was helped spread through the Videogame Europa Universalis IV, which was able to include it due to the peasant republic's unusually big size.
 * The de facto Peasants' Republic of Land Hadeln, which existed in the northern most portion of modern-day Lower Saxony under the de jure control of the duke of Saxe-Lauenburg.
 * The Free Frisian Lands consisted of many semi-independent peasant republic's.
