I can no longer justify...
 
living in the same country as Ken Fortenberry and Scott Seidman.

I have packed my bags, buried my pets, robbed 5 banks, and kissed mother
good-bye (she won't leave with me? Say she doesn't know Fortenberry nor
Seidman. Where the **** has she been all these years?).

I'm headed for a new life in the *"Land of the Spree, and the Home of the
Knave," FREEDONIA!

All interested in visiting me should let me know now, as I don't think
Freeedonians have basic cell phone services as of yet. I will welcome all
certifiable ROFFian, with open arms--so long as you bring U.S. currency.

Good-bye cruel Amerika, land that harbors ****bags, assholes, and dumbos!

.....I woke up in Freedonia once....

Actually, I had to go to the library and check out 'The Mouse that roared"
with Peter Sellers....but I seem to remember another version that was not so
tongue in cheek...

I've looked but can find no reference to it....

Freedonia is in a Marx Brothers film.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023969/

It was also a spoof question asked of some freshmen congressmen/women in the
90's.

"In the 1990s, the satirical magazine Spy pulled a practical joke on
several members of the United States Congress. The magazine successfully
convinced several Congressional members, such as Corrine Brown, to issue
statements condemning the "ethnic cleansing in Freedonia," without their
realizing that Freedonia was a fictional country."

What was really funny was the response Spy received from their query.
