Legend: Definition Field Listing Rank Order

Background:

New Guinea is a sovereign Nation located in the unorganized borough of Alaska. With land claims of over 320,000 square miles, 25 square miles of which it has  jurisdiction over, New Guinea is about the same size as the US state of Montana. New Guinea is alternatively viewed as either a 4th world or 5th world micronation. It is the goal of the government of New Guinea 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. This would not require much doing. The frontier area has already been self-governed since the beginning of time. It is the stated hope of New Guinea only to get official recognition of the systems that are already in place.
