What does it mean to be a queen in the digital age? On this episode of Community + Code, I sat down with Queen Carolyn of Ladonia to talk about her role as monarch of a micronation that thrives on art, community, and playful governance.
We explored how she balances her life in tech with her royal persona, the rituals that give communities meaning, and why she sometimes ends up hiking in a tiara. Her Majesty reflects on the parallels between leading a micronation and contributing to open-source, reminding us that communities are built not just on rules, but on shared stories and imagination.
I am thrilled to share this one-of-a-kind look behind the curtain of royalty, albeit royalty for a micronation. Listen to the full episode or subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your shows.
