Nathan Shepard was born on September 20, 1987. He is currently a first year sophomore at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, USA. Nathan enjoys history, especially European and Ancient history, cartoons, science fiction books written in the Fifties, and art, especially abstract and free-form poetry.  
'''Nathan [[Waffel-Paine]]''' (born '''Nathan Lindenstream Shepherd''' in 1455) was a long-lived Natopian and Elwynnese statesman, who was Emperor of Natopia until 1557, Duke of Elwynn (c.1552-1555), and Prince of Elwynn (1586-1589). While in [[Elwynn]], Nathan adopted the surname Dariolin (he was briefly known as '''Sigurd of Ettlingar Freyu''' during the Froyalan days). While in Athlon, and while fulfilling his duties as Pentheros of the Bovic Church, he used the name '''Theodores Athanatos'''. In Stormark he adopted the name '''Sighard Gafolgyld'''.  He had two sons, [[Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion]] (adopted with husband [[Kaiser Ayreon II|Elijah]]), and [[Naian Moonoak]] (sired with Guinevere Moonoak).


His micronational politics are remarkably conservative. His policies as emperor have brought an increasing amount of authoritarian programs to Natopia, as well as a war-mongering foreign policy and streaks of isolationist and denouncing several multi-lateral international initiatives. While the Natopian economy is in shambles, he nonetheless pushes for an extremely capitalistic market, himself owning the conglomerate Dingo Enterprises which is responsible for producing useless widgets and is the parent company of Aeronautics and Space Shipyards. While his economic and civil liberties policies are conservative, Natopians' enjoy extensive personal rights as well as universal citizenship and opportunity to serve the Royal Frenzy.
==Biography==


In real life, Nathan is a strong liberal, advocating gay rights and stronger multi-lateral cooperation. He is a self-described democratic socialist in the political spectrum.
===Early Life===


Nathan founded the City of Natopia on August 23, 2002. Since that time he has constantly been involved in bringing that nation a degree of prominence and respect in the community. In his more than 4 years of micronationalism, Nathan has been a citizen of Korhal, Lavalon, the Dinarchy of Antica, and Alrodria. Nathan's Korhali citizenship allowed him to gain Antican citizenship while retaining other citizenships, a rare anomaly due to Antica's citizenship policy, due to Korhal being annexed into Antica.  
Nathan was the only son of Ædwynne Shepherd (1420-1500) and Jaynae Shepherd (née Lindenstream) (1425-1505). He was born somewhere near present-day [[Lindstrom]] before the arrival of [[Nett Opaegh]].  His paternal family can trace its origin back to [[Mehl]] shepherds and farmers on Yellow Island. His maternal family has distant [[Elfinshi]] and [[Draconian]] connections. He was 16 when the city-state of Nett Opaegh's Awe (Natopia City) was founded in 1471 and joined the civic government soon after. He worked in the domestic affairs department as an architect and engineer, helping to design the city's earliest buildings. He researched the [[Jasonia|Jasonian]] anti-grav technology smuggled away from the Flying Islands by Nett Opaegh. This research was instrumental in allowing Opaegh to outfit several important civic buildings with limited anti-grav capabilities. The massive energy requirements resulted in constant steam and smoke, resulting in the city's early nick-name '''The Floating City'''. This limited levitation was used to impress or frighten the various other inhabitants of Yellow Island (the Andi, Hazel, Haas, and Neemites) and caused them all to ally or become subjugated to the city-state. Nathan's experience would later allow him to found Dingo Enterprises, which was responsible for Lindstrom's architectural designs and the designs used for Natopia's Spacefleet.


Lavalon was a primary concern of Nathan's for almost a year. Joining at the request of Zachary Klaas, Nathan was immediatly appointed to the position of Chief Justice, the position he served for his entire life in Lavalon. Nathan left Lavalon in early 2005 due to personal differences with the newest generation of Lavalonian immigrants. After the Venerable Union of Aligned States (VUAS) brought Lavalon under Natopia, Nathan returned to Lavalon as a resident. Nathan's Lavalonian residency/citizenship was self-terminated for a final time when Lavalon left VUAS.
===Political Career===


Nathan Shepard, and usually Tasneem Chowdhury, are associated with the Free Juice and Bagels Party, and the "Bagelcratican Plot." During the months leading up to Nathan's departure from Lavalon, members of the opposition to the Progressive Bagelcratican Party of Lavalon, then the majority party of Lavalon, began to say that the Bagelcraticans were simply a tool for Natopian domination of Lavalon. Some would say this accusation proved true, citing VUAS, whiles others maintain that the opposition was demonstrating "rasism towards Natopians."
In 1488, Nett Opaegh died without leaving a designated Presidential heir. Nathan, who had risen to the position of Minister of Domestic Affairs, met with two other government officials, Aaron the Commander of the Military, and Joel the Minister of Foreign Affairs at a small bar in Natopia City known as the Black Hole Bar and began to conspire how to resolve this succession crisis. It was agreed to create a five-branch government, and to invite leaders of the other Yellow Island tribes to form a new government. Nathan's role was determined to become Grand Chancellor, and he served in this role until 1506.


Nathan is now the Sovereign Natopian Emperor, an architect of the Non-Aligned Movement and the junior Administrator of the Micronational Cartography Society. He serves as a Lord Justice in Stormark and the Vice Minister of State for Justice in Gotzborg.  
Nathan's tenure as Grand Chancellor culminated in the [[Venerable Union of Aligned States]], a political merger between Natopia, [[Lavalon]], Faronia, and New Germany, that left Natopia as the senior partner. Nathan had been working for months within Lavalon's government as Chief Justice, and guiding policy with a branch of the [[Free Juice and Bagels Party]]. The merger was proposed at a time when Lavalonian activity was low, and Natopian activity was high and met with initial excitement in both nations. However, mere weeks after the union was ratified, the Lavalonian judiciary (from which Nathan had recently resigned from) declared the merger illegal and removed itself from the merger.


===Beginnings of Natopian Royalty===
Partly in response to the collapse of VUAS, Nathan proclaimed an end to the Natopian Republic and assumed the title of King in 1506. Several years later, due to rapid expansion, Nathan became Sovereign Natopian Emperor in 1508.
===First Marriage===
Nathan was married to William for a brief time before William's death. William was from Cerulea. They adopted no children.
The family of Nathan is very hard to discern. As he lived a very long time most of it has been buried under the weight of history. When Nathan came to rule Athlon during Athlon's very first years he took on the Greek patronymic naming convention, "Theodores Piotesanthropou Dozes" which alludes to the name of his father: "Piotesanthropou" which in early Natopian was written as AEdwynne. His mother, Jaynae was mentioned briefly in the very early records. They would have had his old family name, Shepherd, and not the dynastic name he chose for himself (Waffel-Paine, which itself has no bearing on the family's origin). He had no siblings, hence his ruling name epithet "Nathan the Only."
{{Waffel-Paine}}
His entire family is ethnically [[Tribes of Natopia|Mehl]], except for his grandmother who is [[Elfinshi]]. Before Nett Opaegh, there were no written records among the ethnic Mehl so we see a very sudden modernization take place over only a few generations. Beyond these immediate family members whose birth and death dates could have been written down from verbal records, any other ancestors are lost to pre-history.
Married to [[William Strauss]] from 1548 to 1559 when it was annulled by the Pentheros.
===Second Marriage===
Nathan was then married to [[Elijah Ayreon]] from 1588 until Elijah's death in 1598. He did not remarry.
He has two children: [[Naian Moonoak]] (sired with Guinevere Moonoak) and [[Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion]] (adopted with [[Elijah Ayreon]]).
===Life in Elwynn===
Nathan served as the 21st and 30th [[Rulers of Elwynn|ruler of Elwynn]], first as a [[duke]] and second as Prince of sovereign Elwynn.
Nathan died on the floor of the Elwynnese Senate in 1589, taking a bullet intended to assassinate his husband, Elijah.
===Resurrection and Melting===
Nathan was, however, resurrected as a being made of pure butter. His second life was haunted by the fact that he was now a divine entity. This caused his reign to tend towards instability, and eventually decay and insanity. He melted in 1607, aged 152, finally allowed to die permanently.

Biography

Early Life

Nathan was the only son of Ædwynne Shepherd (1420-1500) and Jaynae Shepherd (née Lindenstream) (1425-1505). He was born somewhere near present-day Lindstrom before the arrival of Nett Opaegh. His paternal family can trace its origin back to Mehl shepherds and farmers on Yellow Island. His maternal family has distant Elfinshi and Draconian connections. He was 16 when the city-state of Nett Opaegh's Awe (Natopia City) was founded in 1471 and joined the civic government soon after. He worked in the domestic affairs department as an architect and engineer, helping to design the city's earliest buildings. He researched the Jasonian anti-grav technology smuggled away from the Flying Islands by Nett Opaegh. This research was instrumental in allowing Opaegh to outfit several important civic buildings with limited anti-grav capabilities. The massive energy requirements resulted in constant steam and smoke, resulting in the city's early nick-name The Floating City. This limited levitation was used to impress or frighten the various other inhabitants of Yellow Island (the Andi, Hazel, Haas, and Neemites) and caused them all to ally or become subjugated to the city-state. Nathan's experience would later allow him to found Dingo Enterprises, which was responsible for Lindstrom's architectural designs and the designs used for Natopia's Spacefleet.

Political Career

In 1488, Nett Opaegh died without leaving a designated Presidential heir. Nathan, who had risen to the position of Minister of Domestic Affairs, met with two other government officials, Aaron the Commander of the Military, and Joel the Minister of Foreign Affairs at a small bar in Natopia City known as the Black Hole Bar and began to conspire how to resolve this succession crisis. It was agreed to create a five-branch government, and to invite leaders of the other Yellow Island tribes to form a new government. Nathan's role was determined to become Grand Chancellor, and he served in this role until 1506.

Nathan's tenure as Grand Chancellor culminated in the Venerable Union of Aligned States, a political merger between Natopia, Lavalon, Faronia, and New Germany, that left Natopia as the senior partner. Nathan had been working for months within Lavalon's government as Chief Justice, and guiding policy with a branch of the Free Juice and Bagels Party. The merger was proposed at a time when Lavalonian activity was low, and Natopian activity was high and met with initial excitement in both nations. However, mere weeks after the union was ratified, the Lavalonian judiciary (from which Nathan had recently resigned from) declared the merger illegal and removed itself from the merger.

Partly in response to the collapse of VUAS, Nathan proclaimed an end to the Natopian Republic and assumed the title of King in 1506. Several years later, due to rapid expansion, Nathan became Sovereign Natopian Emperor in 1508.

Nathan was married to William for a brief time before William's death. William was from Cerulea. They adopted no children.

His entire family is ethnically Mehl, except for his grandmother who is Elfinshi.

Married to William Strauss from 1548 to 1559 when it was annulled by the Pentheros.

Second Marriage

Nathan was then married to Elijah Ayreon from 1588 until Elijah's death in 1598. He did not remarry.

He has two children: Naian Moonoak (sired with Guinevere Moonoak) and Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion (adopted with Elijah Ayreon).

Life in Elwynn

Nathan served as the 21st and 30th ruler of Elwynn, first as a duke and second as Prince of sovereign Elwynn.

Nathan died on the floor of the Elwynnese Senate in 1589, taking a bullet intended to assassinate his husband, Elijah.

Resurrection and Melting

Nathan was, however, resurrected as a being made of pure butter. His second life was haunted by the fact that he was now a divine entity. This caused his reign to tend towards instability, and eventually decay and insanity. He melted in 1607, aged 152, finally allowed to die permanently.
