From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Guinea is a sovereign and independent nation (this is called a Pocket State)[1][2][Note 1][Note 2] located in the unorganized borough of Alaska. With land claims of over 320,000 square miles, 25 square miles of which they have unobstructed jurisdiction over, the country is about the same size as the US state of Montana. It is their stated goal goal to ultimately (and peacefully) create an autonomous area in Alaska out of the last section of the United States that is still effectively without a government. This would be akin to the independent Indian nations that exist elsewhere in the U.S. The frontier area has been more or less self-governed since the beginning of time. The stated objective is to achieve official recognition of the systems that are already in place. Harsh winters in New Guinea make life difficult. Most of the area has a cold and continental climate with long harsh winters and short warm summers. Nearly all areas have low winter temperature below 0 degrees F. All winter. Many communities have sustained periods of -40 or below.[3][4]
