Guest pod Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 The Conch Republic was done as a publicity stunt. They didn't actually want to go through with it. Secession or not, the article does have a lot of valid points in regards to the central government being well, too central. Personally, I'd rather see a system where most of the issues were decided on a local level, and only big things like defense were overseen nationally.
