Signature

Christian Newton OR MOC MIC CdG, also known as Cristian Neuton, is the first Minister of State of Sancratosia, and the President of Porto Claro.

Micronational career

Christian has been a micronationalist since his early youth. Christian is credited with the foundation of the Grand Duchy of Letzembourg. After the foundation of Letzembourg, he sought recognition from the Empire of Karnia-Ruthenia, where he would eventually obtain Karno-Ruthenian citizenship, and unify his project with the Empire.

Christian obtained Pavlovian citizenship in February 2018, where he was appointed Polkovnyk of the Sts. Boris and Gleb Regiment of the Pavlovian Royal Guard. Shortly following his commission to the rank of Polkovnyk, he was granted the title of Count by HM Tsar and Grand Prince Alexander Feofanovič (IV), and given immediate jurisdiction over the Governorate of Aleksandropil. Christian was also commissioned as head of the Linguistic Department of the University of St. Achmed the Calligrapher.

Christian has been involved in other micronational projects as well, such as the Federal Republic of Lostisland. Aside from his service in Pavlov and Karnia-Ruthenia, Christian also served as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Litvania until its union with the Kingdom of Cheskgariya.

On 7 October 2020 (2020-10-07), Christian was given Presidential authority over the defunct Republic of Porto Claro by Claudio I, then Emperor of the defunct Holy Empire of Reunion, succeeding former President Bruno Crespo. Porto Claro has remained inactive under Christian's leadership, as plans for a complete revival of the nation are underway.

On 11 January 2022 (2022-01-11), Christian was appointed as the first Minister of State of the Principality of Sancratosia.

Personal life

Christian was born in the state of North Carolina, in the year 2000. Christian has lived in the United States his whole life, however has lived on both the east and west coasts, and briefly in the state of Hawai'i.

Christian currently serves in the United States Army as a Combat Medic and Healthcare Specialist. Christian enlisted into the United States Army in 2018, where he studied at the Medical Education and Training Campus. Upon graduation of his medical training, Christian was assigned to his first unit, working closely with doctors, physician's assistants, nurses, and dentists in a troop medical clinic. Christian is now attached to a Military Police company. Christian currently works in the clinical research and pharmaceutical industry full time, as a research coordinator.

Christian graduated with his Bachelor's degree in Political Science, and a minor in Russian studies in early 2022.

International and Macronational Affairs

In 2019, Christian obtained the non-hereditary, manorial, and honorific title of Lord of the Manor of the Hougun Manor Estate, and was dedicated his own plot of land on the estate in Cumbria, England. Though he typically does not use his title during everyday interaction, he legally retains the right to use the title "Lord of the Manor." Aside from his British title, Christian was also appointed as the official United States representative of the Ukrainian Royal House in Exile, in February 2020, by Grand Prince Dionisiy Feofanovych, successor of his grandfather who held the legitimate claim over the throne of the Grand Principality of Kyiv and Chernihiv.

It is rumored that Christian is a part of the original family that are indirect descendants of Sir Isaac Newton, however, this has not yet been confirmed. It is also said that Christian's great-great-grandfather, Clarence Newton, is an indirect descendent of one of the various German Royal Bloodlines. This also cannot be confirmed, as Clarence Newton was a German settler in Pennsylvania, and many of his documents were lost during his journey to the United States.
