About
The Principality of Freedonia was launched in 1992 as a project between a group of teens in Boston, USA. By 1997, they declared themselves to be a new country project.
This went as far as them attempting to lease land from Somaliland, back in 2001. When Somaliland rejected their offer, there was a riot, where it's rumoured that one person died.
The nation was disbanded for a long period of time. However, it was then headed in 2014 by Prince John.
Coinage
Freedonian minted coins in it's lifetime. Infact, Freedonia printed 50 Freedonian Dollars during it's lifetime. They sold these coins on their website.
Current Status
The Freedonian website hasn't been available as of 2013, and email communication with the Prince is no longer available. Messages from the founders indicate that the project hadn't been actively pursued as of 2004.
