}}The '''Amerikaanse Free State''' (Amerikaans: ''Amerikaense Vrÿstaet''; Spanish: ''Estado Libre de América'') is a sovereign nation in the western portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the [[Tussenland]]; to the west by the Pacific Ocean; and to the south [[Mexico]]. It is the result of Dutch settlers migrating west from [[Tussenland]] and [[New Netherland]]. New Spain ruled over the area from 1830-1881, and became part of [[Mexico]] from 1881 until 1903, before becoming an independent state. The majority of the population is ethnically Dutch.
