'''Nicholaus VI''' (Nicholaus Alexandros Dimitrios; born 22 September 1955) is the Sovereign Prince of [[Belfras]], head of the [[House of Dimitrios]], and commander-in-chief of the [[Belfrasian Armed Forces|Armed Forces]]. The House of Dimitrios has origins in both the Duchy of Patrinos and  in the nation's fatherland [[Latium]].
 
He was born as the Heir Apparent to his father, [[Georgio III of Belfras|Georgio III]], replacing [[Alexia Dimitrios|Alexia]] who was previously the Heir Presumptive and became the eldest son, with [[Sergios Dimitrios|Sergios]] and [[Thodoris Dimitrios|Thodoris]] following over the course of ten years. Nicholaus enjoyed a relatively private upbringing, attending a prestigious youth academy and eventually Nuovo Portelli - the country's most elite university - for a law degree. He met [[Beata Anicia]], a Latin Royal, shortly after ascending to the throne and the pair married on 18 August 1982 at the Vindeballan Cathedral in Thessalona.
 
Nicholaus succeeded his father upon his death on 19 April 1979 and assumed royal responsibilities immediately, although the coronation was not held until 1 August 1979 to allow time for mourning and preparations to be made.
 
 
== Early Years ==
[[File:GeorgeWBush1947.png|150px|thumbnail|left|Dimitrios with his parents, c. 1955]]
 
Nicholaus Alexandros Dimitrios was born at the Saint Judith Maternity Hospital in Thessalona, on 22 September 1955. He was the first son of Georgio III and Lauren.
 
Nicholaus has two younger brothers, [[Sergios Dimitrios|Sergios]], and [[Thodoris Dimitrios|Thodoris]]. Nicholaus also has an older sister, [[Alexia Dimitrios|Alexia]], who was the Heir Presumptive until his birth and went on to serve as the Chancellor of Nuovo Portelli for 21 years until her retirement in 2013.
 
When Nicholaus was fourteen months old, at the end of 1956, Questros Palace was heavily damaged in a structural fire that forced the royal family temporarily to Oakfield Castle, a Patrinosian estate that had been the family's historic house and was the home of Georgio III's uncle at the time. Nicholaus would remain at Oakfield Castle until 1960 when at age five his father took him on a six month visitation to [[Latium]] as part of duties relating to the Commonwealth, presenting Nicholaus to [[Diana Augusta|Empress Diana]] as Belfras' Heir Apparent. When his father's visitation of Latium came to a close, five and a half years after the fire at Questros Palace, they would return to their nation's capital which had been completely renovated.
 
== Education years ==
[[File:Nicholaus_Dimitrios_Young.jpg|150px|thumbnail|right|Dimitrios in 1980, shortly before his accession.]]
Nicholaus attended Lechester Woods School from 1963 to 1968. Aged 13, he was sent to spend his school term time boarding at the elite Jason V Academy on the outskirts of [[Thessalona]] from 1968 to 1973. Nicholaus is reported to have hated his time at Jason V, with his teachers reportedly being simultaneously impressed by his study form and unimpressed by his social antics. [[Claudia Fabius]], a biographical writer wrote in the 2012-published 'The Princes of Belfras' that Nicholaus' teachers "Found themselves exhausted by his social antics in the class-room and were very happy to see him leave at the end of the day, while also being very impressed by the papers he would turn in." This apparently led to an allegation of cheating his tests when he received high scores from a mock exam in 1970, although the allegation was later dismissed by the school's council after Nicholaus explained the processes of his answers and received high scores from sitting a strictly supervised test.
 
At age nineteen in 1975 he enrolled into the Mondria Campus of Excellence, reading {{wpl|Jurisprudence}} for three years. Whilst at the Campus he took a heavy interest in cricket and began to to play it as a hobby. He also reportedly performed some stand-up comedy and played as a parody of [[Orestes Cotta]] named ''Oopsie Cooty''. His attendance of the Campus of Excellence earned him a place at the highly prestigious [[Nuovo Portelli]] university where he was studying for his Juris Doctor.
 
On 10 April 1980 he was rushed from Nuovo Portelli to Westfields Hospital in Thessalona where his father had been transported to after fainting. It was later revealed that his father had several large tumours, one of which had burst causing traumatic internal bleeding which two operations failed to correct. On 19 April 1980 his father died quietly in his bed with his family, including Nicholaus, around him. Later that day the news was announced and Nicholaus was shown to the world as the new Sovereign Prince of Belfras. As a result of his accession, his tenure at Nuovo Portelli went unfinished until he returned to study in 1984, finishing his studies and exams for his Juris Doctor under special circumstances privileges allowed to resit tests.

With his father's death on 19 April 1980, Nicholaus succeeded him as Nicholaus VI, the Sovereign Prince. His first act was to institute a period of mourning for his father that allowed for both his state funeral on 2 May 1980 and for preparations to be made for the coronation which took place on 1 August 1980 at the Vindeballan Cathedral. The coronation took place over the entire day, beginning with his formal coronation under the sight of god to his procession to the throne at Questros Palace and ultimately ending in a garden party at the end of the day. It was during the garden party that he met his future wife, [[Beata Anicia]].
 
=== 2003 Recession and riots ===
 
During the last three months of 2003 the country had begun the early stages of the 2004 Belfrasian Recession. In Orestes, which has housed much of the nation's steel industry, the nation's largest steel manufacturer Turnstyle went into administration on 5 December 2003, with the government refusing to grant funds to avoid liquidation just before the new year. This meant that in January 2004 almost 15,000 workers both in Orestes and in the State capital of Mondria ended up unemployed with the government's welfare system being retracted the same month as a result of the falling value of the Belfrasian Lira. These situations served to create what became known as the 'Perfect Storm', with an enormous hike in unemployment not receiving support. On 5 February 2004 a protest held in Mondria turned violent a clash between a rogue group of protesters and police led to the deaths of two children who were crushed to death in a stampede, with both sides blaming the other.
 
Dimitrios met with leaders of a faction of protesters naming themselves 'Justice' and police figures in order to facilitate negotiations for a peaceful solution. His efforts helped bring the riots to a close and he was awarded the Civic Peace Medal in 2004.

[[File:Nicholaus V Dimitrios.jpg|150px|thumbnail|right|Prince Nicholaus, Nicholaus' namesake]]
 
Nicholaus' father, [[Georgio III of Belfras|Georgio III]], became the Sovereign Prince at an early age as a result of the [[Belfro-Mutulese war of 1911]]. Georgio's brother, [[Nicholaus, Prince of Belfras|Prince Nicholaus]] - Nicholaus' direct namesake and Heir Apparent to their father [[Philippos IX of Belfras|Philippos IX]] was killed in action during the disasterous Xuman Campaign whilst landing at Saktun beach. Georgio III, who served in the Federation Navy during the war, went on to marry XXXX on XXXX with whom he spent the rest of his life with. Georgio ascended to the Sovereign throne in 1924 after Philippos IX died from a long illness. They would have four children, with their first being [[Alexia Dimitrios|Alexia]], followed by Nicholaus himself and his two brothers [[Sergios Dimitrios|Sergios]] and [[Thodoris Dimitrios|Thodoris]].
 
Nicholaus married Latin [[Beata Anicia]] on 18 August 1982 at the Vindeballan Cathedral in Thessalona, the site of his coronation and his parents wedding. They have four children: [[Victoria, Princess of Belfras|Victoria]], [[Alexander, Hereditary Prince of Belfras|Alexander]], [[George, Prince of Belfras|George]], and [[Christos, Prince of Belfras|Christos]]
 
The couple's first children, twins Victoria and Alexander, were born in a private hospital in Thessalona on 15 July 1984, with their mother being treated for Postnatal depression following the birth. Four years later the couple welcomed their third child, George, while on holiday to Vannois on 5 May 1990, with Beata not suffering a relapse of postnatal depression. Their fourth and final child, Christos, was born on 7 April 1993. Victoria and Alexander both attended the Mondria Campus of Excellence and eventually Nuovo Portelli, although Victoria dropped out to pursue a career as a successful cricket player and Alexander finished his studies and began focusing on his duty as the Heir Apparent. George attended the Imperial War College and entered the Army, and Christos attended West Mondria Football Academy while also attending the Jason V Academy, going on to become a football player.
