Republic of Illinois
Seems to be nonsense, but I'm listing it here just to make sure. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 21:58, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not nonsense, check the news, independance was just declared and the whole area is pretty confused. There are police outside my building now trying to keep people calm.  The legislature voted with a 2/3rds majority to seceed from the union. Details as to why are still kind of vague, and a lot of people are fleeing the new republic for Indiana and Wisconsin.  I'll be packing up in an hour... Illinoisian 22:00, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I just did check a few news sites, and can find no reference to the event. Almost certainly a hoax, and I know I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt by listing it here. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 22:03, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well all I can is give it some time, we're still confused as to what is happening here ourselves. I'm sure there will be an official statement by the President of the US tonight about the situation. Illinoisian 22:05, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * If this isn't a hoax, which I'm still 99% sure it is. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 22:07, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well be prepared for a serious shock tonight... Illinoisian 22:09, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Definate hoax. Well written hoax though. Send to BJAODN. If this were true, it'd be on every channel and we would've heard of this coming up. Redwolf24 22:10, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh well, thought I should give it the benefit of the doubt. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 22:13, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
