Nate I is a Secundomian and Skillzian micronationalist, general and jurist. An early active figure in the Secundomian Sector, Nate was instrumental in the foundation of the Republic of Skillz and Secundomia. An innovator and designer in Secundomian society, Nate was best known for designing the Secundomian flag. He was also an accomplished attorney and had notable service in the Secundomian Army.

Personal life

Nate was a close friend of Spencer I at school. In the years after the heights of Secundomian activity, Nate was one of the few to retain close contact with Parker I, attending the same high school in the United States. Outside of micronationalism, Nate actively played soccer and produced electronic music.

Micronational history

Republic of Skillz

On December 14, 2009, Nate's friend Spencer arrived at school with a plan to form a micronation. Spencer and Nate, together with Phineas Snow and a few other friends, banded together to form the Republic of Skillz. Spencer was elected president and appointed Nate as Vice-President of the young nation.

Trouble was not far, however. Another nation, formed by Spencer's brother Parker called the Kingdom of Secundomia formed the next day and declared war on Skillz. The external threat of war alongside boiling internal divisions resulted in the surrender collapse of Skillz on December 15. Nate and Spencer were the only two of the nation still interested in micronationalism and sought peace with Secundomia.

Republic of Secundomia

Nate I was one of the original three members of Secundomia when Skillz merged with the Kingdom. In the early days of the country, he was largely inactive. In February 2010, he created Secundomia's national flag, which remained as a core symbol of Secundomian Culture through the FSSR. Nate I also created the state of Lower Secundomia during this time. He would remain governor of the state throughout its existence.

Nate was a culturally influential Secundomian, known for designing a monument and the country's flag. He worked as a journalist for Secundomian Media. He was also an active member on the Secundomian Forums, unlike many other Secundomians in late 2010. Nate

Cabinet Crisis

After being inactive since the Golden Days (aside from a brief stint as Director of Development in Parker I's cabinet), Nate I arose to defend the Protest Group and it's leaders, Ibrahim I and Rahim I. He pressured the president to pardon Ibrahim I from his actions (swearing on official Secundomian discussions), and lead the citizens against the president. The president at the time, Parker I, backed down from the charges in the landmark trial of Ibrahim I. Nate I continued to defend the protest group, until Rahim I was exiled in a second trial.

Military Service

Nate I was appointed as General of the Secundomian Army by President Luke in August 2010. In October, he was replaced by Phineas Snow and moved to the Cabinet role of Secretary of Development during the second Parker I administration. In this capacity, he also served as General of Military Development for the Secundomian Military as a whole. He remained in this role, although mostly inactive, until 2012.

Politics

Nate was a member of the Secundomian Conservative Party. He was a member of the party's left wing and often expressed indifference or disagreement to the tenets of the main party. However, the SCP was significantly more powerful than any other political force at the time, so he decided to join it. He was on multiple occasions an advocate for direct democracy over representative democracy, which further put him at odds with party leadership.
