	Conch Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Conch Republic is a micronation declared as a tongue-in-cheek protest secession of the Florida Keys from the United States on April 23, 1982.
		When the City Council's complaints went unanswered by the Federal Government and attempts to get an injunction against the roadblock failed in court, as a form of protest Mayor Dennis Wardlow and the Council declared the Keys "independence" on April 23, 1982.
		In the eyes of the Council, since the federal government had set up the equivalent of a border station as if the Keys were a foreign nation, the Keys might as well become one.

		Herron was not aware of any other businesses for which Wardlow, as mayor, wrote a letter to the Department of Natural Resources seeking approval for a sign to be erected on the beach.
		When Wardlow signed the agreement with Bigler, he may have thought that he was going to do public relations work by soliciting the hotels for a concession for Warren Watersports; however, he decided that as mayor he had a conflict with soliciting the hotels and declined to perform those requirements of the contract.
		Wardlow must have acted corruptly, that is, with wrongful intent and for the purpose of benefiting himself or another person from some act or omission which was inconsistent with the proper performance of his public duties.
