#6044 Freedonia

Jeff Zeitlin · 12 September 1993

  Actually, there really is a place called Fre(e)donia.  The
  self-proclaimed "Free People's Anarchic Republic of Fredonia" can
  be found on the campus of the State University of New York,
  College at Fredonia.  Located somewhat southwest of Buffalo, NY
  and east of Erie, PA.  The United States has not as yet extended
  formal recognition, nor has the United Nations acted on their
  application for membership.

  It would not surprise me if FASA got started there...

In the booklet that came with FASA's adventure ships vol #1 the
administrator for the Fredonia Aeronotic and Space Administration (I think)
is name somting Firefly, which if I remember right is the name of the
character played by Grocho Marx in the Marx's brothers movie that take
place in the country of Fredonia.  As I do not have the book or the movie
in front of me this is all from memory and please pardon the spelling.
