The Northern Forest
Archipelago is an environmentally-focused micronational parallel
government that claims a
number of privately-owned discontiguous wilderness territories in the northeastern
United States. It was founded as a constitutional monarchy on 21
September, 1998 and is headed by King James
III. Its capital is known as Backwoods.
A community currency,
known as the NFA Sweat Equity Buck, was introduced in 1998 in
order to stimulate local economies within the NFA, and the group claims
that the currency has since gained a broader degree of acceptance in
the areas in which it is active. One NFASEB is equivalent to US $10.
