The Free Republic of Nias (Indonesian: Republik Nias Merdeka, German: Freie Republik Nias) was a possible short-lived and unrecognised state on the Island of Nias that was roumored to have lasted less than a month until the island was fully occupied by Japanese forces on 22 April 1942. It is said that it was proclaimed by German prisoners on Nias Island, Indonesia, with Ernst Leo Fischer as Prime Minister and leader. However the validity of the existence of such state is disputed.
