The 2018 Oslo independence referendum was a referendum to ask voters in the Fielgerian Oslo County whether it should proclaim national sovereignty and become an independent country, recreating the Free City of Oslo, with the condition precedent of offering a political and economic agreement to Fielger.
== Background ==
In June 1979 a referendum was held for the independent Free City of Oslo to join Fielger as a County after Oslo declared bankruptcy. Official results were said to be 55% for joining Fielger.
In November 2018 after a private investigation, mails sent by Alf Serum (president of Fielger 1976-1980) in 1979 to government officials of Oslo have been revealed. It was exposed that Serum sent more than 500,000 steins to manipulate the referendum's vote. To this day he denies the legitimacy of these mails and questions the legal side of the investigation.
