Nilovia: Difference between revisions

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 bewas 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. As a province of Salovia, it, along with most provinces, would be suppressed politically by the Baykalian Semi-Autonomous Province, which had systemically expanded its power over the nation, eventually leading to the [[Salovian Civil War]]. Nilovia would form a coalition with the Kostrom Independence Front during the war, called the Kostro-Nilovian Front. The Tuva-Altai Coalition however had taken control of Nilovian territory by the end of the Civil War, and under the [[Treaty of Astravili (2005)|Treaty of Astravili]] became a province of Tuvaltastan. In January 1st 2008, the Nilovian province peacefully gained independence from Tuvaltastan after a 2007 referendum on the issue of independence, establishing a short-lived presidential-parliamentary republic similar to the Tuvalt system of government. However, avid monarchists propped up by the Norgsveltian government called for a re-instatement of the Nilovian monarchy to power, and in by July 8th 2008, the republic was replaced withby an absolute monarchy supported by a bloodless military-led coup d'etat. A month after the reinstatement, Nilovian general [[Zerkesi Verulidze]] called for the establishment of a dual-rule system of government between the monarchy and the military, which King Xerxes vehemently opposed. Verulidze subsequently assassinated the King on November 4th 2008, and began a partially-successful coup under the United Nilovian Council of Order and Prosperity, leading tokickstarting the ongoing [[Nilovian Civil War]].
