He is the first Prince of Nossia and the founder of the Principality, being also a dynast of the House of Lamburg and younger brother of Ivan, Kanfre of Lifréia.

Early Life and Micronationalism
Prince Carlo of Astra was born on 07 July 2000, in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, second son of the Princes of Astra e younger brother of Prince Ivan of Lamburg. He was baptised in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, the hometown of his family, later that year. His subsequent early life was less than typical, save a few particular incidents involving his close family.

The Astran Insurgency
Carlo of Lamburg, as he was known then, was appointed Governor of the Province of Astra by his brother, the Kanfre of Lifréia in early 2015. While in office, Carlo came in contact with seccecionist factions in the Province. One of them, that operated under the anodyne facade name of "Pope Pius XI Society" took Carlo as one of its commanders. Carlo, now an adherent of Astran independency, didn't agree with the violent ways disseminated by the Society and sought a more peaceful alternative. With the provincial elections of May of 2015, he managed to form a sizeable "seccecionist" cabinet. However, hostilities broke out after a member of the so-called "Pius XI Society" attacked a group of Lifréia soldiers on leave.

Personal Life
The Prince enjoys reading, writing, watching movies and television series. His favorite films are "The Aviator", "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Solntse", by Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and Aleksandr Sokurov respectively; He enjoys the music of Kavinsky and is an avid fan of 70's and 80's metal and rock bands. His reign started the same day Nossia was founded, on 05 January 2016, with his coronation occured on 12 January 2016, after the Nossian-Lifreian Civil War, in which he led the Nossians from July until December 2015. He then used his new influence as Prince on behalf of the reconstruction of the diplomatic ties with the Empire of Lifreia and to the establishment of peace again. After almost a year of reign, Carlo and Oscar I began negotiations to unite Nossia to the Empire with the status of member state. However, it was determined that the principality would be a protectorate for a period of one month since for the imperial government it would be a sufficient period of time for the princely government end all their disputes to join the Empire or give up doing it. Despite the relatively peaceful period, the principality chose to maintain its independence through a referendum held on 16 March 2017, the result of which was recognized by the Emperor-King of Karnia-Ruthenia the following day.

On 13 March 2018, due to the Imperial Decree n. 135-2018, the Banate of Horvatia was restored and he was appointed by Oscar I to become the first non-Horvatian to assume the office.
