Solterra's Royal Family is not a traditional one. Unlike most monarchies, the King can appoint any person to be a member of the Royal Family, regardless of relation. The Royal Family also uses the more traditional familial system, where marriages and children by those already in the Family result in new additions.
His Royal Majesty the Reigning King Sovereign of Solterra, Elijah the First (or simply "King Elijah") is the founding forefather and (naturally), the first King of Solterra. He considers himself to be one of the youngest monarchs in the world and is definitely one of the youngest founding fathers ever.
When he's not busy running the glorious nation of Solterra, King Elijah is studying, reading, and trying to help make the world a better place.
King Elijah has said that he was inspired to create Solterra by many great leaders such as His Excellency Sultan Randy “R Dub!” Williams of Slowjamastan, His Excellency President Grand Admiral Colonel Doctor Kevin Baugh of Molossia, and Prince Michael Bates of Sealand.
