Wait a goddamn minute.

How can the term "Free Republic of Schwarzenberg" be derived from a 1984 novel if the group was only around in mid-1945? Someone's got some issues with the time-space continuum. Mauipsyko 21:22, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I think the country had no official name. The 1984 novel was probably the first to name it Free Republic of Schwarzenberg, and since then that name is used by historians. --Mixcoatl 00:12, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps that should be explained in the article somewhere. It confused me as well. Leadpipevigilante 00:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-Up?

I don't know much about this topic, but I found this article hard to read. First, it sounds like a lot more can be said about this subject (is there an explanation as to how this country got it's own currency and postage system in 7 weeks?). Also, isn't the last sentence of the second paragraph a bit of a redundant statement? Leadpipevigilante 00:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
