-==Early Life and Personal Background==
-Carolyn Shelby was born in the United States in 1976. According to Ladonia's official website, she resides in the United States and is a mother to three children. Details of her early life and education, which might have influenced her later involvement in micronationalism, are not extensively documented.
-==Reign as Queen of Ladonia==
-{{main|Ladonia (micronation)}}
-Shelby was proclaimed Queen of Ladonia on June 2, 2011. The coronation, held on September 21, 2011 at ''[[Nimis (artwork)|Nimis]]'', the art structure around which Ladonia was created, was attended by Ladonia's founder and State Secretary [[Lars Vilks]], cabinet ministers, and the Swedish news agency [TT].<ref>{{cite web |last1=af Klercker |first1=Annika |title=HÖGANÄS 20110922 |url=https://tt.se/bild/redaktionellt/sok?q=H%C3%96GAN%C3%84S+20110922&so=default%3Adesc |website=TT.se |publisher=Expressen |access-date=24 January 2024}}</ref><ref name=queen>{{cite web |title=The Queen of Ladonia - The Ladonian Monarchy |url=https://www.ladonia.org/monarchy/queen/ |website=Ladonia |access-date=9 November 2022}}</ref> The role of Queen includes the "traditional" duties of a constitutional monarch and works alongside the Cabinet of Ministers, representing and governing the micronation.<ref name=queen/> As the public face of Ladonia,<ref>{{cite news |last1=Adebayo |first1=Oludotun |title=Atlantium and Ladonia on BBC Radio 5 |url=https://youtube.com/aaeIdY3N_J4?si=g62M9OzLQBWXpkom |access-date=24 January 2024|via=YouTube |publisher=BBC Radio 5 |date=14 July 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Julian |first1=Hana Levi |url=https://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/recognizing-palestine-recognize-ladonia/2014/11/02/ |access-date=24 January 2024 |publisher=The Jewish Free Press |title=Recognizing Palestine?

Involvement in these events has raised Ladonia's profile in the micronational community and resulted in international media coverage. Notable conferences include: [[PoliNation]] 2012<ref>{{cite book|last1=Fuligni|first1=Bruno|author-link=Bruno Fuligni|last2=Hanne|first2=Isabelle|year=2013|title=Micronations|url=https://www.calameo.com/books/0005021950c656364d1e9|publisher=Diaphane|isbn=978-2-919-07719-9|page=140|access-date=4 October 2023|via=Calaméo}}</ref> and 2015, [[MicroCon]] 2015, 2019, and 2022, and [[MicroCon 2023]] where Ladonia served as host nation in the US,<ref>{{cite web|first=John|last=Landecker|url=https://wgnradio.com/john-landecker/microcon-comes-to-joliet-hosted-by-the-queen-of-ladonia/|date=22 June 2023|title=MicroCon comes to Joliet hosted by the Queen of Ladonia|publisher=[[WGN Radio]]|access-date=7 July 2023}}</ref> and as co-host nation with [[Flandrensis]] in Europe.
-During her tenure, Ladonia has seen significant developments, particularly in its digital infrastructure and international relations. Shelby has been instrumental in creating a more accessible digital presence for Ladonia, including establishing social media accounts and revamping the official website. As part of efforts to protect the intellectual property of the micronation, "Ladonia" was successfully registered as a trademark in Sweden and in the European Union in late 2022 and mid-2023, respectively.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ladonia Trademark Registration |url=https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/018837748 |website=European Union Intellectual Property Office |access-date=21 January 2024}}</ref>
