Northern
Forest Archipelago is a Micro-Nation with constitutional monarchy
centered in and around Saranac Lake/Lake Clear, New York.
It
is described as a “pint-sized paradise” comprised of “several
dozen chunks or ‘islands’ of wilderness existing within the
northeastern states of the USA”. Their declaration of existence was
formalized through the enactment and ratification of a Constitution
on September 21,1998. Their King is King James III (probably also
known as “Lorax D. Treehugger”). He explored the vast tracks of
forestland known as the Great Northern Forest, purchased the land
that would become Backwoods (the capital of the NFA), and organized
other widely dispersed bits of timberland under a cohesive system of
government. Finally, a micronational coin crafted from wood! This is
a strikingly cute 1/10th Sweat Equity Buck (a “community currency”
modelled after the innovative Ithaca HOURS local monetary system).
Initially these wooden coins were obtained directly from Marjorie
Boodlesmythe, the Minister of Foreign Relations and later with other
coin dealers.
