How long must an article get before it is nolonger a stub?? I'd say this is probably long enough, so I'll take it of. Although feel free to disagree... Mathmo 13:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Regards to the flag; is there a reference or record of the flag? The red star with seven branches can be seen in the offical flag of Hokkaido. However, the star was taken from the local office of development (1869-1882)under the Meiji government, not Republic of Ezo as its own. Also there is no information about the flag of Republic of Ezo in japanese page, which it may need to be re-considered.

The independent "Republic of Ezo" was set up on Meiji 1, December 15 (1/27/1869). Seven 08:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Independence, but not secession?

I must say I'm a bit puzzled by this passage: "... Enomoto's declaration of independence, in a contemporary mindset, was not an act of secession, but rather of "bringing" the politico-social entity of "Japan" formally to Ezo.". You cannot have it both ways. Either they declared independence (which is per definition an act of secession) or they didn't. Which version is correct? Alfons Åberg 03:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
