Maximos

Max Edwards founded the Zatriarchate of Matbaa on 2nd of December 2005, entering Micronationalism by the Zatriarchate as the nation's 1st actual Zatriarch and 103rd simulationlist Zatriarch, Maximillideus I.

After reigning as Zatriarch through Matbaa's height and eventually to his stepping down in favour of Sfeir VI (Wilhelm von Benkern) in 2007. After the reigns of Ostatheos III and Mikaelos-Sfeir I, Edwards left micronationalism formally in November 2007, although he had been active for some time before then. Also having been a citizen of Kemetia, Gaia, the CIS, and Special Maps Cartographer of the MCS for around one year, Edwards was briefly the leader of the Confederacy of Independent States after a poll vote- his reign lasting only one week.

He also attempted to found some thirteen other micronations after his stepping down as Maximillideus I of Matbaa. All of these are now dead, including the first pre-Matbaic nation he founded, Satsova.

Edwards then decided upon joining an existing nation, re-emerging as the Count of Modan-lach in December 2007 in Shireroth, changing his name from Maximos Qutreh Bar Idwharioun to Maksym Hadjimehmetov. Later that month, he was made Baron of K'tzuni.

As Count of Modan-Lach he pursues a highly centralised policy of economic development and intends to develop the small county into a cultural hub of Southern Shireroth.
