He has always been interested in sports, practiced Karate during his youth and has been a skateboarder for 20 years. He is married and has two children.

Micronationalism

Micronational Life

He started in Micronationalism in 2015, among the simulationist micronations in Brazil. He was part of the Kingdom of Pathros, where he was Vice President and also President of Parliament. After just over a month, he leaves Pathros to join the United Kingdom of Brigância and Afrikanda. There, he played an important role in the consolidation of the Kingdom, acting in functions of domestic and foreign policy with relative success and becoming known among Brazilian micronationalists. In recognition of his dedication to the Kingdom, he was included in the list of succession to the Brigante throne, holding the title of Archduke of Aquiwedé and serving as Regent of the Kingdom on one occasion.

Due to political disagreements with King Emerson of Brigance, Thomas decides to leave the Kingdom and join the Kingdom of Escorvânia, where he was appointed to the Ministry of Education and had the opportunity to implement the Micronational Training Program (PROFORM), a program of pioneer micronational training in the country and aimed at new citizens. In addition, he served as the escorvanese ambassador to Pathros, and was also elected Mayor of the city of Haifa. After being appointed as Secretary of National Security for Escorvânia, he developed a project to improve the functionality of the Armed Forces, but it was never implemented. He also played an important role as a businessman, founding the lottery Al Hassan and the newspaper O Folhetim, which quickly became one of the most popular means of communication for Brazilian micronationalism. In 2017 he decides to give up his citizenship and founds his first micronation, the Principality of Maryen.

As Sovereign Prince of Maryen, he was responsible for rescuing simulationism - the most common way of practicing micronationalism in Brazil at the time - using Caribbean territories and cultures. Demonstrating great diplomatic skills, he managed to maintain contacts and recognition with several micronations in Brazil. During this period, he began to develop his friendship with Emperor-King Oscar of Karnia-Ruthenia. In March 2018 the Principality of Maryen is extinguished due to the low activity of its citizens.

In the same month, he received his citizenship in Karnia-Ruthenia and, considering his diplomatic skills and reputation among Brazilian micronationalists, he was appointed the ambassador for Portuguese-speaking micronations. He was also responsible for implementing the practice of e-sports in the Empire, activating the Karno-Ruthenian football team on the CFM platform. He received the rank of Admiral and the role of Chief of the Empire's Office of Naval Operations. In addition, he helped in the creation of the Imperial and Royal Academy of Social and Geographical Studies of Karnia-Ruthenia, being its Chancellor and one of the first to contribute to the Institution's collection and research works. He was also appointed to the Ministry of Finance to help create a national economy, but he was unsuccessful. During the 2019 general election, he was elected as Representative of the Ruthenian-Horvatian District to the II legislature of the Imperial Diet, which elected him as Imperial Chancellor.

In recognition of the vast activity in the Empire, he rose in the imperial nobility, made Duke of Saena and Prince Karacsony-Maryen, in addition to having his family recognized as a Noble House in the Empire.

Quinta Velha

While working in Karnia-Ruthenia, he developed a micronation formed by the private properties of his paternal family, called Lordship of the lands of Santa Rita de Cássia. In November 2018 this micronation is reformed and becomes the Kingdom of Quinta Velha, which has become one of the most promising and important Brazilian micronations today. Leading his country, he actively participated in the formation and consolidation of the Brazilian sector and was responsible for founding the Conference of Santiago, the most important intermicronational organization in South America.

As King of Quinta Velha, he established himself as an important diplomat and statesman, being the author of some protocols and treaties of the Conference of Santiago, in addition to having been a prominent leader during the Santiago-Mansean Conflict. With the Brazilian sector, he reinforced his presence in Brazilian micronationalism, emerging as a prominent and most famous figure among Brazil's micronationalists.

Activities as a Researcher

Parallel to his activities as a statesman, Thomas has also developed a recognized role as a researcher and micropatriologist. He is Chancellor of the Imperial and Royal Academy of Social and Geographical Studies of Karnia-Ruthenia, a member of the Historical Institute of Quinta Velha and an honorary member of the Historical Institute of Mauritia. He has had articles published in the Journal of Micronationalism of the Republic of Rino Island, in the Leven Journal of the United Provinces of Mauritia and on the website of the Academy of Social Studies of Karnia-Ruthenia. He is dedicated to the study of the formation of Brazilian micronationalism and National Identity in Micronations. As a historian, he is a researcher of themes related to death and dying in the West and the formation of cemetery spaces.
