'''Orchard Lake''' is a medium-sized inland [[lake]], 795 acres (3.2 km²). It has a 110 feet (34 m) maximum depth and is in the city of [[Orchard Lake Village, Michigan|Orchard Lake Village]], [[Oakland County, Michigan|Oakland County]], in [[Michigan]], [[USA]]. It is the second-largest lake in Oakland County after [[Cass Lake (Michigan)|Cass Lake]].
If there is not a first stept, there won´t be easy go ahead with more posterior steps.
The lake is unusual in that there is an large 35 acre (142,000 m²) island in the middle of the lake, Apple Island. The island was frequently inhabited by local [[Native Americans]] before the coming of Western settlers, who later planted an apple orchard on the island, giving rise to the current name of the lake. Apple Island is now abandoned and has been designated a protected [[wildlife sanctuary]]. The small Cedar Island is near the western shore.
==Taiwan==
The campus of the old [[Michigan Military Academy]] is on the northeast shore of the lake. The campus is now home to [[SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary]] and [[St. Mary's Preparatory]].
Exactly how should Taiwan be classified? It is diplomaticaly recognized by a few countries. It hasn't formally declared independence. Mainland China declares it a territory in rebellion. Taiwan has been effectively independent of Mainland China but has yet to declare itself independent.
==About Quebec separatism==
{{Michigan-geo-stub}}
" Even in an area like Quebec, where economic concerns are not part of the separatist argument, support for separation clearly decreases when the economy is doing well."
[[Category:Oakland County, Michigan]]
* 1. economic concerns are part of the separatist argments. All serious nationalist groups in Quebec argue for "the complete political, economic and cultural independence for the people of Quebec".
[[Category:Lakes in Michigan]]
* 2. In reality, there is absolutely no correlation between support for independence and economic prosperity in Quebec.

:I removed "''where economic concerns are not part of the separatist argument''" before reading this. Obviously, I agree with Mathieugp on this. Especially when considering that two of Quebec's last three separatist premiers were separatists because they saw the economic and administrative necessity for sovereignty. I also have serious doubts as to whether or not "''support for separation clearly decreases when the economy is doing well.''" [[User:Tremblay|Tremblay]] 22:54, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
== Tamils link ==
Does the [[Tamils]] link want to be to the [[Tamil_people]] entry? This broken link got flagged as part of [[User:Daniel Quinlan|Daniel Quinlan]]'s [[User:Daniel Quinlan/redirects|Redirect Project]]. Thanks [[User:Silverfish|Silverfish]] 19:05, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
