History

Nicoloviana began as a loose confederation of various barbaric tribes invading the Archadian Empire from the north-east. In the year 537 AIC (or 1832 WE) the tribes were united in an elective kingdom.

After some time, Nicoloviana became a vassal state of the Vladimirian Vozdh.

After the death of Tzar Stephen II (late october 1116 AIC), Nicoloviana defiantly declared independence and was soon backed by the Archadian and Feandish Empires, successfully dissuading the Vladimirian Vozdh from any attempt at re-annexation.

Politics

The Confederal Diet of Nicolovia is the legislative body of the state.
