The story
Morokulien (/mʊrʊˈkʉːliən/), also known as Fredsriket ("The Republic of Peace"), is a 6-hectare (15-acre) symbolic area on the Norway–Sweden border. A peace monument was erected there in 1914 to mark a century of peace between the two countries, and in 1959 the site became the ceremonial microstate of Morokulien during a joint Swedish–Norwegian radio broadcast. The site is widely regarded as the world's first transboundary peace park. In 2025, Morokulien became home to the world's first bi-national police station, jointly staffed by Norwegian and Swedish officers. The area functions as a cross-border tourist destination and cultural gathering place — hosting concerts, cultural events, ceremonies, and political meetings — and serves as a living symbol of the Nordic peace tradition and of cross-border cooperation between Norway and Sweden.
