The Principality of Freedonia was a micronation based on libertarian principles. It was created as a "hypothetical project" by a group of teenagers in the United States in 1992. The project was formalized as a new country project in 1997, which included attempts in 2001 to lease territory in Somaliland. The attempt to lease land was rejected.


It was headed by a Texas university student named John Kyle, who uses the title Prince John.[1][2] The Principality of Freedonia itself was based in Boston, Massachusetts.[3]

Coinage[edit]


While the Freedonia project was active, it minted its own currency.[3] It had a number of 50 Freedonian dollar 1 oz silver coins minted.[4]
It offered these coins for sale on the organization's website.[5]



Current status[edit]


The Freedonia project's website has not been updated for a number of years and its discussion forum no longer functions, email communication with the self-styled Prince does not work, and the entire project appears to be defunct. E-mail statements from the founder indicate that the project is not being actively pursued as of 2004.[4]


As of 2013, the Freedonia Web site is no longer available.
