Wyatt of the Danubias (born Seungri Baek, later Wyatt Seungri Baek; 13 January 2009), has been Prince of the Danubias since 2023 and is a Gaplan politican who has served as the Speaker of the Provisional Government and Minister of Technology and Human Capital since 2024. Widely considered one of the four founders of Gapla, he previously served as the 1st President of Gapla during two noncontiguous terms from 2019 to 2022 and briefly served as the 4th Deputy President of Gapla in 2021.

Baek was born in Seoul, South Korea at the Samsung Medical Center. The only son of Korean doctors who later immigrated to the United States, Baek's family received a green card through a national interest waiver in 2012 following his mother's publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association, a prestigious journal. He was raised in Irvine, California and attended the Irvine Unified School District until 8th grade.

Baek attended 1st through 3rd grade at Cypress Village Elementary School, where he and a friend, Ian Shin, learned about micronationalism. Subsequently, they founded the United Republics of Gapla and Phoenix in 2015, which marked first occurance of the name "Gapla." The project soon faced a crisis which led to its eventual splitting into the independent republics of Gapla and Phoenix before ultimately falling inactive. In 2018, he was selected as a participant in the school district's Alternative Program for Academically Advanced Students (APAAS), and was placed at Deerfield Elementary School. Following a family move, Baek found a notebook from the Gapla–Phoenix era that inspired him to restore Gapla as the Principality of Gapla, a predecessor of the modern Federated States of Gapla that would reform to claim Greater Danubia.

Baek is widely regarded as the principal leader of modern Gapla as its restorer, and has had extensive influence over virtually the entirety of Gaplan history. He is widely known as a right-wing libertarian politician, activist, and diplomat, representing Gapla at international summits such as MicroCon 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He currently leads the Alliance for Reason, a right-wing libertarian party, in the Provisional Government.
