	In 1995, three friends began discussing a book one of them had been gifted for his birthday on the Order of Malta. This led to a fair amount of research and discussion on what it would be like to establish a country of their own. These early discussions primarily took place in local playgrounds and libraries. After a number of weeks and the addition of three other youths, a decision was made to found their own country as the [[Principality of Kolios\|Kingdom of Kolios]] on 20 September 1995. It was founded under the rule of King Stephen, who ruled until 24 May 1997, when he abdicated in favor of Queen Arlene.

	On 3 April 2021, Carthagean Protector Ashleigh Sinodis announced her intent to dissolve the Grand Duchy of Carthage to the Emperor and national heads of state. She cited the reasoning being her inability to reach Emperor Eric or his legal guardian for a period of nearly four months coupled with the departure of most of the nation's active citizens to the Royal Republic of Rivière Noire. The decision was approved on 5 April, two days later. As a result of Carthage's dissolution, Emperor Devon was able to negotiate the Royal Republic of Rivière Noire joining the Empire on 18 May 2021.

As a result of Carthage's dissolution, Emperor Devon was able to negotiate the Royal Republic of Rivière Noire joining the Empire on 18 May 2021.

	On 26 May 2021, Emperor Devon brought up the possibility of the Empire evolving into more of an alliance. While he stated that it was not something he expressly wanted, he was curious to look into the possibility and how it might work. He held a vote of heads of state as to whether or not to form a committee to draft up a proposal. The motion was denied by a vote of 5 (Berwyn, Cordova, Kolios, Severny, and Verdura) to 3 (Maevis, Rivière Noire, and Tenshukyō). ~~This~~ matter was raised again in early 2022, when the matter passed by a vote of 2 (Cordova and Verdura) to 5 (Lauchammer, Prydain, Rivière Noire, Tenshukyō, and White Sands).

			For the remainder of 2021, the Empire still formally existed, but practically was a loose coalition of independent nations. The matter of changing to an Alliance was raised again in early 2022, when the matter passed by a vote of 2 (Cordova and Verdura) to 5 (Lauchammer, Prydain, Rivière Noire, Tenshukyō, and White Sands). The Empire would formally be dissolved on 1 November 2022, with all of the active nations at the time except the Archduchy of Verdura forming the Agberian Alliance, which styled itself more akin to the League of Nations, with all nations being fully Sovereign in their own right.
