Zach Anderson, (also known as Aaron O'Wray, and King Kakali I) is a fairly new micronationalist (less than 1 year) that has headed a total of 4 nations (3 of which he started). Currently, Zach is the head of the United Kingdom of Luthoria, serving as King Kakali I. He has also been the King of New Hawaii (as King Kakali I), President of the Emeraldia (as Aaron O'Wray), and President of the Virtual Commonwealth of Cyberia (under his real name, Zach Anderson)

Emeralida

In late October 2006, after already joining the Virtual Commonwealth of Cyberia, Zach began to work on starting his own nation. This culminated in the creation of the Irish Republic of Emeraldia, which was founded on November 6, 2006. The self proclaimed interim President began recruiting friends from his macronational high school(Zach was in his senior year at the time)and soon Emeraldia had enough people that it passed it's first constitution on Novmeber 27, 2006. In early January, Zach (as Aaron O'Wray) was sworn in as the first (an only) elected President of Emeraldia. This was probably one of the highest point of Emeraldia's history. Soon after, in February, Emeraldia suffered it's first of several coup attempts. The country then passed a new constitution, and Zach was reelected in March. After a briefly peaceful period in March and April, things began to fall apart, and by mid to late May, Emeraldia was only a shadow of it's formal self. Still, Zach and other senior officials of the government were still hopeful. However, it was not to be. On June 12th, 2007, the Emeraldian forums ceased to exist. To this day, it is unknown whether or not the person behind previous attacks was behind this disappearance. After some discussion with senior government officials, it was decided that Emeraldia would be no more. This became official on July 5, 2007, one day shy of Emeraldia's 8th month birthday.

New Hawaii

A week or so before the untimely demise of Emeraldia, while Zach was on vacation in the U.S. state of Hawaii, he became inspired by the local culture, and founded the Kingdom of New Hawai'i on June 6th 2007, with himself becoming King Kakali I (Kakali is a Hawaiian translation of the name Zachary). New Hawaii became the successor state of Emeraldia after it was dissolved on July 5th, and a week later received all Emeraldian assets and land. New Hawaii was short lived as well, but in a posative way. Many of his macronational friends and fellow Emeraldians/ New Hawaiians were also members of another smaller state called the Kingdom of Streudelburg. Streudelburg was becoming inactive, and so the idea was hatched to merge New Hawaii with Streudelburg and become one new state (which became the United Kingdom of Luthoria) This merger was approved in late July, and begining the first week of August, New Hawaii and Streudelburg were merged together. The government did not really change, and King Kakali I remained on the thrown in Luthoria.

Luthoria

Zach Anderson is currently the head of the United Kingdom of Luthoria, serving as King Kakali I. Luthoria has been in existence since August, and is a constitutional monarchy. It has currently had one Prime Minister, Aedan Clark, who served from Mid-August until late September, when the Parliament voted to dissolve and hold a constitutional convention. Luthoria looks to be prosper, if it can overcome some obstacles, including low participation.

V.C.Cyberia

Zach was elected President of the VCC on a ticket of change and reform. One of his many goals was to end the then seven-year war with the Federal Republic of Cyberia.

He won the Presidency, but was driven from office by those who preferred to see the VCC dead rather than at peace. Those forces were able to accomplish that goal.

Ironically, Anderson became a hero to many in the FRC.
