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. | 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.

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). | On 26 May 2021, Emperor Devon brought up the possibility of the Empire evolving into more of an alliance.

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. | |||

=== | ===Principality of Kolios=== | ||
::''Main article: [[Protectorate of Kolios]]'' | |||
The Principality of Kolios predates the formation of the Empire, having been established on 20 September 1995 as the Kingdom of Kolios in Bavaria, Germany. When the final member of the founders and then Queen, Arlene moved away from the area, she decided to restructure Kolios as a Principality within an Empire in 1998. The Principality saw miimal activity from 1998 to 2020. | |||
The Principality left the Empire on 26 February 2022 under the eye of Price Garibald. The next day it became a territorial holding of Westarctica when Prince Garibald and [[Grand Duke Travis]] signed the [[Marana Accords]]. | |||

===Grand Duchy of Lauchammer=== | ===Grand Duchy of Lauchammer=== | ||
Established in late 2021 by a college student in Texas, the Grand Duchy of Lauchammer was established to observe a Danish tradition. Grand Duke Maximillian is the son of two of the early participants in the then Enclave de Cordova, having learned of the Empire from his parents. Maximillian has announced a number of expansion initiatives, but for now prides himself on Lauchammer being a "one man show." | |||
Lauchammer joined the majority of surviving Empire nations who founded the Agberian Alliance after the dissolution of the Empire of Agber on 1 November 2022. | |||
===Prydain Kingdom of Maevis, Berwyn, and Innèsoil=== | ===Prydain Kingdom of Maevis, Berwyn, and Innèsoil=== | ||
The Prydain Kingdom was formed on 5 January 2022 when the Kingdom of Maevis, Kingdom of Innèsoil, and Principality of Berwyn. As all three of them were located in the British Isles, it was thought that creating one Kingdome with more centralized powers might be advantageous to all of them. Innèsoil was reclassified as a Principality, with Berwyn retaining their status as the same. | |||
In August of 2022, a Hawai'i-based nation joined the Prydain Kingdom: Ike Akua Nan̄a Nui Keikiali'i (commonly referred to as Ike Akua). Despite the name of the Kingdom remaining unchanged after it joined, Ike Akua is a fully integrated part of Pydain, not a colony. It enjoys the same benefits as the other two Principalities. | |||
Officially, each of the Principalities within the Prydain Kingdom are officially ruled by Queen Barbara. In practice, however, Princes are given nearly full autonomy, including serving as the font of honor for the order of chivalry unique to their nation. These orders are: | |||
* Maevis' Most Honourable Order of the North Sea, which is awarded by Queen Barbara and is limited to no more than nine members. | |||
* Berwyn's Most Excellent Order of the Kite, which is awarded by Prince Bernard and is limited to no more than six members. | |||
* Innèsoil's Most Noble Order of the Greene, which is awarded by Prince Liam and is limited to no more than seven members. | |||
* Ike Akua's Royal Order of the Nene, which is awarded by Ali'i Makana and is limited to no more than nine members. | |||
Prydain joined the majority of surviving Empire nations who founded the Agberian Alliance after the dissolution of the Empire of Agber on 1 November 2022. | |||
===Sultanate of the White Sands=== | ===Sultanate of the White Sands=== | ||
The Sultanate of the White Sands was the final nation to be formed as a part of the Empire of Agber in March 2022. The nation was established in New Mexico by Sultan Ahmed, who previously had ties to the Shogunate. It had at least one order of chivalry: the Order of the Caracara. Although there had been previous secular governments within the Empire, White Sands was the only nation to have a non-Christian religion when it announced its adherence to Islam. | |||
The Sultanate was a founding member of the Agberian Alliance after the dissolution of the Empire. | |||
