Republic?
Is it really a republic? Or is it a kongsi, a commonwealth, a cooperative/corporation/company? The Dutch East India Company operated like a state in the same area during about the same era akin to the description of Lanfang, but I wonder whether either can be called a republic. – Kaihsu 17:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- It now says "modern name in Traditional Chinese: 蘭芳共和國". That still leaves the related question: What was its contemporary name? — Sebastian 21:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
zh:蘭芳共和國 has ‘蘭芳大統制共和國’ or ‘中蘭芳上古中國大統制元首共和國’ as the contemporary name. – Kaihsu (talk) 01:23, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
10 years before the U.S.?
Yes, the current constitution was adopted in 1787, but the U.S. was operating under the articles of Confederation as a republic to some extent starting in 1777, and completely in 1783. So to say that the Lanfang Republic predates the U.S. by 10 years is misleading at best.Wldcat (talk) 01:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Reference to Singapore
The reference to being a predecessor to Singapore in the introduction is an overstatement. 175.156.71.200 (talk) 00:21, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
