The '''Empire of Agber''' is a [[micronation|micronational project]] that was founded on 20 September 1995 as the '''Kingdom of Kolios''' The project was reimagined in early 1998 as the Empire of Agber, with [[Principality of Kolios|Kolios]] becoming a nation within the Empire. The primary focus of the Empire is activity at Renaissance Festivals and other such events where period dress is deemed acceptable. The Empire will be formally disbanded on 1 November 2021, when it will be replaced by the Agberian Alliance, which will also formally return Agber to its focus on anachronism and away from its ties to the greater micronational community.

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.
