'''The Serene Kingdom of Nilovia''', commonly known as [[Nilovia]], is a nation
The territory of Nilovia is administratively split between the internationally-recognized Serene Kingdom and the self-proclaimed United Nilovian Council of Order and Prosperity (UNCOP). The Serene Kingdom of Nilovia effectively controls the territory west of the Itsavs Mountains, and the UNCOP controls the territory east of the Itsavs. Both the Kingdom and the UNCOP claim the entirety of Nilovia, with the UNCOP claiming additional territory that includes all of Lake Nilovi, and all territory east of the [[Khermali River]] and south of the [[Great Auroran Desert]]. The two organizations have been locked in a civil war since 2008, with a longstanding ceasefire in 2018 freezing the conflict. The Itsavs Mountains currently serve as the ''de facto'' demilitarized zone, enforced by both UNAC and PKFU peacekeeping forces.
The Lake Nilovi region has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with the first signs of sentient life existing as early as 30,000 BCE. The Fendelkh Fiefdom reigned over the Lake Nilovi area from 1783 BCE to around 1400 BCE, when it, along with a number of other civilizations would suddenly end, in an event known as the Great Vanishing. By the 8th Century, the Nelovic Kingdom would be formed by King Turini out of the various city-states around Lake Nilovi, until in 135 BCE, when the Nelovic Kingdom and the Lovian Empire would engage in the Nelo-Lovian War, resulting in the Lovian Empire taking over the region and expanding its territory to the Sea of Tranquility. In 135 AD, Lovian King Odelfv assassinated Suvolic King Rorik II, thus uniting the Suvolic Empire and the Lovian Empire into the Grand Monarchy of Salovia. Nilovia would remain part of Salovia until during the Salovian Interregnum, where from 1001 to 1036, the first Kingdom of Nilovia was formed. Spanning a similar territory to modern-day Nilovia, the kingdom experienced difficulties in establishing its legitimacy, and as the Salovian Monarchy began regaining sovereignty, the Wars of Reconquest began from 1030 to 1043, with the Salovian Reconquest of Nilovia taking place from 1033 to 1036.
The Era of Unrest saw a second attempt at independence, however it would see limited success as the Akhalibisi-based Grand Republic of Salovia overshadowed most attempts at effective independence.
