FREE WEST FLORIDA!!!!



Hey! they have their own flag


Free and Independent Republic of West Florida. On September 23, after meetings beginning in June, rebels overcame the Spanish garrison at Baton Rouge, and unfurled the flag of the new republic: a single white star on a blue field. This flag would later become known as the "Bonnie Blue Flag".

1. FREE NEUTRAL MORESNET TOO!!!!

Moresnet or Neutral Moresnet was a tiny European territory of about 3.5 km² that existed from 1816 to 1919. Its two large neighbors could not agree on who should own it, deciding therefore to make it a neutral territory where both would share control equally. It was located some 7 km southwest of Aachen, directly south of where the borders of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands intersect on the Vaalserberg.

3. I hate to break it to 'em, but...
...they live in Miss'ssip'. Or Alabama.

And "Forida" is not a sobriquet anyone should be pining after, these days.
