The Royal Family
King Wilhelm-Rudolf von Elphberg
The late King Wilhelm-Rudolf Franz Josef von Elphberg was born on March 15, 1948. He came to the throne in 1959 following the tragic death of King Stephan and Queen Charlotte.

In 1970 he married Anastasia Sophia Maria Helena von Rubenroth, Princess Royal of Lutha. It is with great sadness that we announce his passing on May 17, 2010. Rumors persist that the Swiss Consortium was involved in his sudden and unexplained death.
Queen Anastasia Sophia Maria Helena von Elphberg
Her Majesty Queen Anastasia and King Wilhelm-Rudolf met at a reception aiding Ruritanian Houses of Worship. Their friendship and equal determination to assist in the preservation and defense of all religions, Churches, Synagogues, and Mosques everywhere, enabled them to meet frequently. These continued meetings led to romance and marriage between their two Houses. They were wed for 40 years and had never given up their defense of the freedom to worship or their love of the arts historical buildings or the People of the Kingdom.

She has been called the "Helen of Troy of Micronationalism" after having started many "wars" while fighting to end intolerance against intolerance and disrespect for people of all walks of life. The Grand Duchess also co-hosts a biennial Mini MicroSphere Summit held in Harrisburg, PA. In 2018 she helped draft and sign a diplomatic treaty, the Paxton Church Accord, between several leading micronations to be respectful of inalienable rights for all individuals, the proper etiquette, and behaviors of the community to promote tolerance and acceptance.
Lydia is globally known as the Anti-Squrriel Grand Duchess because of her determination and hard work to bring awareness to the unwitting public of the dangers these vile vermin have plotted against humans.

Following in her mother's footsteps, she's training to be in the diplomatic field.
