Key West History has been discussed extensively previously. How the nation seceded, stood up to the injustice, took a stand and made the final and inevitably right decision of a separate free nation with its own flag, passport, history and military force.


Formerly known as the prime minister of the conch republic dennis wardlow is a big name in the history of the micronation. His justice and movement worked greatly in the favour of the republicans which is evident by the state the micronation is in today.


Also greatly known as the founder of the conch republic Dennis Wardlow did his part in bringing the nation to success and beginning a new legacy of a separate nation inside the United States, Florida. This led to the republicans having an identity and name of their own in the United States history as well with the title of a micronation.

Dennis Wardlow and the Conch Republic History:


Born in the year of 1954 Dennis Wardlow took the office from 1995 to 1997. He was preceded by Tom Sawyer who replaced the former personality to the best of his abilities and high followed in his steps. And he was succeeded by Sheila Mullins who served the office from 1991 to 1995.

He is the personality that brought the demand for a separate nation inside Florida to public attention when the economic growth of the conch republic was being affected due to lack of tourism because of the blockade that was taking place at the time. Wardlow took to the office and represented the nation at the time. He served the nation on three occasions which favoured them greatly. Dennis Wardlow served key west in the right ways at the proper time of requirement.

Paul Menta is a Chef that showed up in the conch republic more than thirty years prior. He wanted to move on from the cooking school he attended in Philadelphia and go to or travel to other places in Latin America and Europe to sharpen his culinary skills further and expand his food knowledge horizons.

Paul arrived in the micronation as a young person with a will to learn and burning passion to hone the skills he has as much as he wanted.

He did everything he could to use the ingredients and specialities of k key west that would help him in his venture. He established places like:

  1. Cuban Coffee Queen

  2. Amigo’s Three Hands Fish

  3. As well as a sustainable fish market

  4. Key West Legal Rum Distillery

The establishment of a fish market on his part was a service to not only his own restaurants but others around the conch republic so they always had access to the finest and most fresh seafood to provide customers all over with the best food and ensured great taste that never compromises on quality.

Locally produced rum was another of Paul's goals which he brought to life by establishing a legal rum distillery in the Florida Keys which even now provides the citizens with fine quality and delicious rum.
