The American Lighthouse Foundation or ALF, is a nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to the preservation of lighthouse, lightship and lifesaving station artifacts and documents.

The Republic of Boon Island, Maine Declared Itself a Sovereign Nation and so began the promotion of "Political Offices for Sale" back in April and still being advertised today.(DownEast magazine November 2003 print issue)

The tallest lighthouse in Maine was an accident waiting to happen. The 19th century lighthouse tower, the tallest in Maine, was taking a beating from wind, water, salt and sun and no one wanted to pay the restoration and maintenance costs, not the feds, the coast guard, the state of Maine or the towns of Kittery or York. So the American Lighthouse Foundation has come to the rescue and leased the island. ALF declared the island a soverign nation. Since no one lives on the 300 x 700 foot rock, there are no taxes to collect. So to raise funds, ALF is selling off its political offices.

Any Libertarians out there? You might want to reconsider your choice of a "Free State" by moving to Boon Island,Maine (once NH)instead of the "Live Free or Die" state of New Hampshire.

Boon Island is known to be haunted by the ghost of a woman locked up there from the Civil War.

The problem is that the territory is recognized by the US as under its jursidiction. Various fradusters have had better luck by buying atolls in the pacific and declaring there residency there.

Here's and example:

This guy made the wall street journal a few years ago. When he first set up this website it had a message board, but I used the board to announce that my troops and landed on his atolls and that I had annexed them. He then took down the message board.

Too much Boones Farm is the problem!
