Lazia, 28 October 2024 — Ned Greiner, also known as Natsuki Hegro and Ned Gunderson, the founder of Nedland and a prominent Mahusetan politician between 2016 and 2020, has died in early October aged 23.

Greiner was known for his role in ending the 2016–17 federal government shutdown and, above all, for founding Nedland in 2014, a micronation noted for its satirical and absurdist character. He later left micronationalism, citing its toxicity, but was well regarded during his years of activity.
