Josh Ford (born 14 December 2006) is an American-born micronationalist politician, musician, and content creator. He was the founder and President of the Penn Federal Republic before its dissolution in 2024. Ford also holds active roles in numerous other micronations, mostly diplomatic; as a result of which, he has achieved relative notability in the community for his leadership skills. As a musician, Ford has released one EP and six singles. He has been heavily involved in the development of the Modern Era of the MicroWiki sector,[citation needed] especially by his influence in the MicroWiki@Discord community and micronationalist Twitter.

Early life

Josh was born on 14 December 2006, in New Jersey, United States. He attends school in Pennsylvania. He is a Lutheran.

Micronationalism

Josh's introduction to micronationalism was through learning about the Republic of Molossia, the Commonwealth of Dracul, as well as other notable micronations. This inspired him to create the Penn Federal Republic, named after the founder of Pennsylvania, William Penn. Established on 31 December 2020, Ford established a government, wrote a constitution, and became the first President of the nation. Active in numerous micronations including the Republic of Roscamistan as a representative, the State of Vishwamitra as Consulate General to Pennsylvania, and the Commonwealth of Dracul for his diplomacy, he became of relative notability in the community for his leadership skills.

As founder and President of the Penn Federal Republic, he has made several instrumental changes in the structure of the nation, shuffling his cabinet twice, during the August Affair and the March 2022 Cabinet Reshuffle. He has taken the advice, inspiration, and support of a variety of well known micronationalists to establish the Penn Federal Republic as a relatively well known nation, mostly known in the MicroWiki sphere.

Through holding offices in a variety of other micronations, Ford has developed himself as a parliamentarian and a skilled statesman, especially in the Pinangese Republic and Vishwamitra.
