The Federal Republic of Rumelia (Greek: Ομοσπονδιακή Δημοκρατία της Ρωμυλίας, romanised Omospondiakí Dimokratía tis Romylía), commonly known as Rumelia (Greek: Ρωμυλία, romanised Romylía) and often referred to as "Revolutionary Rumelia", was a proto-state and military allaince that existed for five years during the Greek War of Independence and the Wallachian Uprising, from 1822 to 1827. It effectively existed a loose confederation of various anti-Ottoman groups and states, such as the Danubian Principalities under the leadership of Tudor Vladimirescu and Prince Michael Soutzos, the Republic of Theodoro, led by Consul Ahmed Karamanides, the Military-Political System of Samos, led by Lykourgos Logothetis, and various Continental Greek and Peloponnesian revolutionary entities, eventually consolidated into the Provisional Administration of Greece.
