Karl Friedrich (known as Alex White or Dhesiminnor Karlo I in Domanglia and online as Luxor) is the most prominent Lurkish politician, serving as a President, Prime Minister and as an Archduke. He also held many offices in the nations of the YouTube community, for example President of Libertas, Emperor of Utopia, Supreme Supervisor of Navassa, several offices in the NSSR, etc. He was also the Kyng of Slin known as Kyng Second or Kyng Friedrych (also Kyng Karl). He was involved in re-establishing Slin from March 2012 and was a deputy before he was elected as a Kyng. Currently, he is the Lord Temporal of Mercia and Baron of Aurora.

Currently, he is a tech administrator and co-owner of MicroWiki.

Micronationalist

Discovery of micronationalism

Karl Friedrich first discovered micronationalism in 2009 through a magazine, which had an article about several micronations, such as Hutt River and the NSK state, and including some Czech micronations (mostly tourist attractions, however). He was inspired, and he and his father proclaimed a nation and Karl was tasked with appointing ministers. Except that, nothing much has been done for the nation, except claiming the today's Redwood City.

Lurk

Karl founded Lurk on 25 June 2011, after he found the YouTube community. He was amazed by the activity of the community and it seemed fun and not very hard to join, so he gave it a try. As any other nation of the YouTube community, he needed land, flag, government and anthem. He chose Lurk hills as the perfect territory for a new nation, translated their name into English as best as he could, giving name to the nation - Lurk. Lurk was supposed to be a socialist nation at start, and had a crimson flag with two stars on it. A day later, it was decide that republic would be far better, and the Republican Standard, the blue-white-blue flag, was created. Lurk entered into diplomatic relations with several nations, such as Flatland, Monovia, etc. He also assumed the position of the Prime Minister, with the president being his friend from the Netherlands. A few days later, Lurk proclaimed neutrality in the Grunkian-New Joneslandish war, and was neutral ever since. Lurk was slowly rising, becoming more known in the YT community and has established informal relations with every nation of the community. However, nearly all of those nations were inactive a few months later, leading to the demise of the YT community. He discovered MicroWiki through Monovia and Flatland, and decided to write a short article about Lurk soon after.

Austenasia

On 30 January 2016, Friedrich was made a non-residential subject of the Empire of Austenasia upon the creation of the Austenasian Territory of Aurora, of which he was appointed Governor. On 20 January 2018, he was appointed to the Austenasian Senate as one of its founding members by Emperor Jonathan I, who on 29 January later that month also appointed Friedrich as Chancellor. In a Cabinet reshuffle on 20 March 2019, Friedrich was transferred to the position of Home Secretary.
