| − | == Early life ==
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | Thompson was born in Duluth, Minnesota, the son of a seventeen year old
| |
| − | single mother. Though economically disadvantaged (he never really was
| |
| − | among the 'haves,' usually being more like the 'almost haves,' and
| |
| − | sometimes the 'have nots'), he lived a carefree existance throughout
| |
| − | his first twelve years, and, at the age of three, met and formed a
| |
| − | friendship with Daniel R. Kemp, who today remains Thompson's oldest and
| |
| − | closest friend. Thompson and Kemp used to raise hell together, stealing
| |
| − | beer from their parents at ages as young as five years, committing acts
| |
| − | of petty vandalism as young as ten, etc. The carefree and guiltfree
| |
| − | years would end for Thompson in his thirteenth year, though. At the age
| |
| − | of thirteen Thompson had begun to become more reclusive and developed
| |
| − | symptoms of depression. It all culminated on Halloween of that year,
| |
| − | when Thompson made a suicide attempt. Afterwards, his family and
| |
| − | friends were always supportive and helpful in his recovery, but it took
| |
| − | him five years to recover, in full, emotionally, and he is still
| |
| − | somewhat reclusive today.
| |
| − | == Early Slobovia ==
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | On Christmas in the same year as his suicide attempt, Thompson had
| |
| − | recieved a webtv and an internet connection. For about a year he
| |
| − | usually used it soley to find something to do, however, one day he
| |
| − | stumbled over a micronation, and the fundamental seed for Slobovia was
| |
| − | planted. Over the following weeks he rounded up his friends, including
| |
| − | Kemp, and looked for a name. Finally, in early April, 2000, Thompson,
| |
| − | Kemp, and mutual friends including Jesse Capitani, Michael Forest and
| |
| − | Justin Bailey, founded [[Slobovia]], naming it after a fictional nation
| |
| − | named 'Slobbovia' which was the setting of a pornographic comic book.
| |
| − | The nation was then, due to the fact that the only one of the five with
| |
| − | and internet connection was Thompson, a primarily offline nation.
| |
| − | Consensus had it that [[Slobovia]] would have a German theme (due to
| |
| − | the fact that all of the founders had a measure of German blood), and
| |
| − | that Thompson would be the Slobovian Kaiser.
| |
| − | == Mistakes ==
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | In his early years as a micronationalist, Thompson had come to make
| |
| − | many mistakes, much of which were committed on the floor of the League
| |
| − | of Seccessionis States (LoSS). [[Slobovia]] had become a member of the
| |
| − | LoSS in June, 2000 as a result of Thompson's first mistake - lying
| |
| − | about Slobovia's age, it would not be his last. Between the middle of
| |
| − | 2000 and early 2001, Thompson, through many immature actions, had begun
| |
| − | to amass a reputation of being immature and stupid. For the most part,
| |
| − | it was true that Thompson was immature, however, a half a decade of
| |
| − | mistakes would slowly bring a shred of wisedom to him.
| |
| − | == Recent developments ==
| |
| − | ----
| |
| − | In mid-2004 Slobovia more or less collapsed and Thompson temporarily
| |
| − | left micronationalism. However, in December of that year he was
| |
| − | approached by Edgard Portela, and asked to co-found the Republic of
| |
| − | [[San Martin]], and he became Vice President thereof. By February,
| |
| − | 2005, problems had begun to appear in [[San Martin]], namely the
| |
| − | division caused by political parties fighting to attain the position of
| |
| − | head of state. On March 1, 2005, Portela staged a coup and declared
| |
| − | Thompson Emperor of [[San Martin]]. Furthermore, Thompson refounded
| |
| − | [[Slobovia]] in late 2005. | |
