Career

Clark is well known for his legal knowledge. He was the director of Jurisfocal, possibly the only law firm in the MicroWiki community, and claims to have been involved in more litigation than any other micronationalist.

Clark has studied legislative drafting and is known for drafting comprehensive legislative instruments, sometimes hundreds of pages long.

He drafts the Abeldane Code, currently in its third edition. The Code is the authoritative version of all permanent statutory law in Abelden, with each edition heavily redrafting statutes for clarity and conciseness.

Clark was selected as DIME's "Micronationalist of the Month" for the month of February in 2019.

In May 2020, Clark was awarded the Order of the Two Eagles, the highest chivalric order in both the Empire of Paravia and the Abeldane Empire, for his services to Abeldane law. He is only the third person to receive the award, after Mikael Bokmann and John Bercow, the Speaker of the UK House of Commons between 2009 and 2019.

In January 2021, Clark was nominated and confirmed as supreme justice of the Grand Unified Micronational. He drafted the GUM's current charter, and designed its current logo.
