-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 military order or even 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 four other youths, a decision was made to establish a military order, the Knights of the Order of the Loyal and Inexhaustible Observation of the Sacrament. The exact date of the formation of this order is unclear, but it appears to have been in early to mid-September of 1995. Each of these seven were joined quickly by about a dozen other youths, at varying degrees of commitment.

 The Founders made the decision to take the Order one step further on 20 September 1995, when they established the Kingdom of the Knights of the Order of the Loyal and Inexhaustible Observation of the Sacrament. Due to the rather unwieldy official name, it seems to have been shortened to the Kingdom of K.O.L.I.O.S. almost immediately, with the acronym fading from use and thought to the point that the origins of the name were rediscovered in 2022 by Prince Garibald while examining an archive of documents given to him by his predecessor, Princess Arlene; many of these documents had not been viewed in over 20 years.
