The region of Murcia is an autonomous community located in the southeast of the country, between Andalucia and Valencian Community,
on the Mediterranean coast.

Unlike other communities, Murcia is a single province.
Area: 11.313 sq km
Pop : 1.400.000
Cap : Murcia (Parliament in Cartagena)

Murcia was under Muslim rule until 1266 when it was annexed to Castile, giving the latest an access to the Mediterranean.
The language spoken there is a Murcian dialect of Spanish with its own accent and words.

It is called "panache". There are there several regionalist, autonomist and independist movements. They claim Murcian Nation as a people
defined by a history, language and culture common in the area of Greater Murcia.

Some of these movements strive for the increased regional autonomy while others want to make Spain a federal country, and some are advocating outright independence.
However, except for the drive for greater and real autonomy, these movements garner very modest support of Murcia's population.

Note that you can find the "Comunidad Autonoma de la Region de Murcia" flag version in this [link]
