Nikolia (Serbian:Nikolija; Mazurian: Nikolia), officially the Kingdom of Nikolia (Serbian: Kraljevina Nikolija; Mazurian: Królestwo Nikolskie), is a country on the Mederano Peninsula on the continent of Teudallum in western Astyria. It shares its southern border with Berique, Slovertia, the Dangish Empire and ViZion and a maritime border with Woodstead in northwest and Great Nortend in the northeast. Carigrad is the capital city of Nikolia, while the largest city is Beograd.

Nikolia is 11th largest country in Astyria and the largest on its continent with a total area of 3,059,6002 km. Its population of 264,182,078 (2020) is mostly distributed along the coastal areas with a substantial population in central parts of the country along the river valleys. Nikolia is divided in 24 federal units known as Voivodeships. The official languages of Nikolia are Serbian and Mazurian, while recognised minority languages are French, English and Slovak.

The earliest Slavic state on the territory of modern Nikolia, the Principality of Sirmia was founded in 276 AD by Prince Stanislav I and is considered by scholars as the first Nikolian state. In 512 AD, King Uroš I unified several Slavic statelettes and expanded the territories further south. The early kingdom was challenged by the Ethlorekoz from the east and Berique from the south, nevertheless, the territory expanded further east. The largest expansion of the Nikolian territory happened in 952 AD when Stefan I founded the Empire of Nikolia and relocated the capital from Vladimirovac to Carigrad and brought Christianity to Nikolia in 964 AD.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the Nikolian Empire was more or less a complex of duchies, principalities and free cities with a decentralised elective monarch to which vassalised subjects had to provide allegiance. In 1415 Emperor Stanislav I started to unite subjects of the Empire and place them under his direct rule, which triggered War of the Crowns between the Imperial subjects, the Kingdom of Moravia and the Kingdom of Mazuria. After winning the war that lasted nearly 14 years, King Bolesław I of Mazuria was elected as new Emperor, during whose reign the Empire was renamed to Commonwealth of Nikolia-Mazuria and was vastly reformed: the territories of the Empire were consolidated into Voivodeships, a legislative body composing of nobility from the Voivodeships was founded and the Imperial powers were expanded.

Politics

Main article: Politics of Nikolia

Nikolia is a constitutional monarchy ruled by King Aleksandar II of Nikolia acting as a head of state. The power is distributed in 3 independent branches of the government: The executive branch is vested on the Crown Council of Nikolia and the Monarch, the legislation is vested on the unicameral parliament, the National Assembly of Nikolia and the Council of Voivodeships, which acts as an auxiliary legislative body composing of the representatives of the 24 Voivodeships of Nikolia, and the judiciary which is vested on the independent court system, among which the highest in hierarchy is the Supreme Court of Cassation.

Crown Council

Main article: Crown Council of Nikolia

The Crown Council (Serbian: Krunski savet, Mazurian: Rada Korony) is the supreme governmental council which brings together the principal officers of the executive branch of the Nikolian government. The Crown Council is composed of 14 government ministers, two representatives of the Constitutional Court of Nikolia and the Metropolitan of Carigrad. The Crown Council is presided over by the Chancellor of Nikolia, who serves as the de facto prime minister of Nikolia.

Administrative divisions

Main article: Voivodeships of Nikolia

Nikolia is composed of twenty-four constituent states known as Voivodeships (Serbian: Vojvodstvo Mazurian: Województwo), which equals to a Duchy in other monarchies. Each Voivodeship has its own constitution, government, and is largely autonomous in regard to its internal organisation. Voivodeships are headed by a voivode who, together with the Voivodeship government represents the executive branch in the Voivodeship. Legislature is represented with parliaments of each Voivodeship. Voivodeships are further divided into counties (Serbian: Županija Mazurian: Powiat), which are in turn divided further into municipalities and cities.
