New Guinea Independence Day

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 21, 2011 -- Lord Archangel , First Citizen of New Guinea spoke to an invitation-only audience today during a private celebration of New Guinea's Independence.

"We do not have a fireworks show on our independence day because we did not win our independence through violence and conflict. For us, a 'rocket's red glare' is something for other countries to commemorate. New Guinea is free, and has always been free, and so our tradition is to have a quiet meal with our families and friends, and thank God for his gifts to us."

Archangel is a different kind of leader, leading a different kind of nation.

New Guinea was visited by missionaries of the Russian Orthodox Church during the 1740's, which made a huge impact on the culture seen today. On July 20, 1799 Baranov established the settlement of Arkhangelsk. It was destroyed in 1802 but rebuilt nearby in 1804 and given the name Novo-Arkhangelsk (New Archangel).

The nation of New Guinea was first conceived by Lord Archangel (Who took the name of the July 1799 Baranov settlement) in 1983, in a series of papers published on the subject, and went through various conceptual stages as a de facto government until land was acquired from the state of Alaska in 2006. In 2007, independence was declared, and no action has been taken by either the United States, or the State of Alaska.

Politically, efforts by the ministry of Information to inform residents of Greater New Guinea (Those living in disputed areas) of the existence of New Guinea and offer them citizenship, have been reasonably successful. This work is ongoing. In 2007, New Guinea became a signor to Mikhail Gorbachev's Convention on the Right to Water. In late May 2011, New Guinea signed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch Treaty.
