History
Before 1821
Kingdom of Besmenia
Captital of East Besmenia
Capital of the reunited Besmenia
With the accession of West Besmenia to the Federal Republic of Besmenia in September 1967, Laitstadt became the capital of the reunified Besmenia. Shortly after the reunification, a conflict of interest arose over the capital issue of the new reunited Besmenia. Many West Besmenians wanted Melmingen to be the capital of reunited Besmenia, as Melmingen was the capital prior to the division of Besmenia. As a result, a referendum was held in January 1968, in which voters could decide whether the seat of government should be moved to Melmingen or remain in Laitstadt. The majority voted to remain in Laitstadt.
