Abrams I (Abrams Formic Wiucki-Dunswed) is the founder and King of Ikonia, reigning since 19 October 2018. Wiucki-Dunswed[a] is also a highly regarded herald, having studied the subject for several years. He is the Diaconus King of Arms of His Majesty's Heraldic Authority, Grand-Marshal of the Society of Arms, and the King of Arms of the Micronational Design Association, alongside holding membership in several royal guilds and heraldic authorities in other micronations. Among other hobbies, he has taken a massive interest into micronational law.

During the Territorial Era which began in April 2019, Wiucki-Dunswed greatly expanded the size of the Kingdom, creating the Dominion of the Caribbean, the erstwhile Dominion of Blake, and Orange County, Uvenia. This prompted him to revive the Ikonian Empire, however it would later be fully abolished on 21 December 2020. Wiucki-Dunswed is credited for most of Ikonia's cultural, diplomatic, industrial and political development, specifically with a large emphasis on Ikonian heraldry and vexillology.

He was a technical administrator on MicroWiki from February 2020 until April 2021, and an administrator on MicroWiki@Discord from June 2019 until his resignation in February 2021. He has received nearly thirty foreign honors, making him one of the most awarded micronationalists in the community of all time. He was nominated for DIME Magazine's Micronationalist of the Year award for 2019, and was later ranked 12th on Statistic-Dime's list of the Top 25 Most Influential Micronationalists in the MicroWiki Sector of 2020.[1][2] On 30 January 2022, Wiucki-Dunswed used a technical exploit to remove nearly two thousand users from MicroWiki@Discord, effectively destroying the server. This resulted in heavy condemnation and his subsequent withdrawal from micronationalism.

  2. It has been generally agreed upon micronationalists in the Discord sector that he is the greatest micronational herald due to his works.
