Royal State of Bagradoria
Chase's interest in micronations began after discovering other micronations. In 2019, his insight on COVID-19 hitting America came to pass and the support of socialism, communism, atheism and satanism began to rise around the world. Chase was once quoted saying "...the USA I once knew was long gone by the end of 2019 and the beginning of the 2020's, people began supporting blind causes that were fake and I knew this. One day in November of '21, I thought to myself 'the time has come to do something!'..."
In December 2021, Chase established the Royal State of Bagradoria and became the Laird.
