Samogitian Economical Authority

Samogitian Economical Authority

Samogitian Economical Authority ("Žemaitijos Ekonominė Autonomija") is an idea supported mainly by Samogitian Parliament ("Žemaitijos Parlamentas") group led by Justinas Burba.

It advocates on creation of an autonomous territory in western Lithuania (Samogitia), with capital in Klaipėda rather than historical Samogitian capital Telšiai; it would be based on territory rather than Samogitian culture and would include parts of Lithuania Minor which are controlled by Lithuania as well.

Supposedly this claim would be based on the interwar autonomy of Memelland ("Klaipeda region"). Justinas Burba in his declarations states that Lithuania supposedly robs Samogitian oil wealth, and therefore the economical authority would take control of economical affairs in the territory. The idea is not widely supported however, Justinas Burba was not elected to parliament during last elections.
