Non-notable micronation, with no references in article. All Web references to the Somaliland story come directly from the nation's founder. Prior AfD in Feb-2006. | Mr. Darcy talk 20:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THE PRINCIPALITY OF FREEDONIA: www .freedonia.org A country of libertarian leanings, Freedonia has very little connection with the Marx Brothers' fictional country of the same name. Its leader, John Alexander Kayle, is a student at Babson College in Massachusetts. He is studying for a degree in investment finance and professes a fondness for the writings of Thomas Jefferson and Ayn Rand.
Mr. Kayle, who uses the screen name John I, and his fellow Freedonians hope to purchase a chunk of territory in Somaliland and establish a libertarian enclave. Notwithstanding its homelessness, Freedonia has minted its own money (silver) and even written a national anthem that has this refrain: Oh, Freedonia, Freedonia the land that saves, Freedonians never shall be slaves.
My opinion is that this does not make the micronation notable. | Mr. Darcy talk 15:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And while we're at it, there are exactly five Google hits on the phrase "sultan of awdal" (link), all of which relate to Freedonia. Are we even sure that such a person exists or existed? Awdal makes no mention of a sultan or sultanate. There were sultans in the region in the 1500s and 1600s, but I can't find any other mention of one today. | Mr. Darcy talk 22:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
