The Principality of the Pindus (also Pindo or Pindos, sometimes Pindus and Moglena; ; ; ) was an attempt to establish an autonomous puppet state set up under fascist Italian and later German control in northwest Greece in the regions of Epirus, Thessaly and West Macedonia during World War II. It was proclaimed during the Italian occupation of northern Greece in the summer of 1941 as the fatherland of ethnic Aromanians, but was never able to assert itself over the local population until its de facto disbandment in 1943. The capital of the statelet was Metsovo (Aminciu in Aromanian), but the national assembly sat in Trikala.
