Image
Someone removed the image of the Conch shell – too bad, I really liked it. This article was definitely livened up by the image, and perhaps we can keep it until we get permission to use the Conch republic flag? --Ilya 21:11, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
How long did it exist?
If I'm reading the article right, the Conch Republic only existed for one (1) minute. Is this correct? If so, it should be made explicit in the introduction. Otherwise, the duration of the country's existence should be mentioned in the intro. -Lommer | talk 23:16, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
As far as I'm aware it has never stopped existing. They maintain a website, sell memorabilia, flags, coins, passports etc, and organise an annual celebration of the "secession" in the Florida Keys.--Gene_poole 23:03, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Existance & Image
1. I pulled the reqimage tag: someone's put up a conch flag for us already.
2. The Conch Republic still exists: they had merely "surrendered" to the U.S. 1 minute after the declaration.
