Michael I, Duke of Appinfeldt

Michael of Appinfeldt, also known as Michael Cessna, is an American micronationalist, former soldier and author. He is also the first Duke and founder of the Duchy of Appinfeldt.

Early Life and Micronationalism
Michael Cessna was born in United States of America, on 28 May 1967 on the banks of the Ohio River. He says he was born "when men had not yet stood upon the surface of the Moon" in order to do not reveal his age. Being raised across the length and breadth of North America gave him unique insights into the vastness of human cultures and societies, which he brings in full measure to his rule of Appinfeldt, which title he came to via his descent from German and Scottish nobility.

Duke Michael served in the United States Marine Corps for six years, and is an author, columnist, instructor in several fields, and is a long-time security professional.
