Hertzka's novel Freiland, ein soziales Zukunftsbild (see Endnote 3) initiated the setting up of Freiland-Vereine throughout German-speaking central Europe. Freeland Associations proliferated in cities throughout Austria-Hungary, Germany, Western Europe and the United States. In 1891, Hertzka established the Freeland Action Committee, which began planning an expedition to Kenya to found a colony according to his principles.
