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 used the title Prince John.^[1][2] The Principality of Freedonia itself was based in Boston, Massachusetts.^[3]

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]

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

As of 2013, the Freedonia website is no longer available.
