In 2013 the Empire solidified its primary existence as a vehicle to Renaissance Fair events and culture.

As part of this move, it was decided that Kolios would formally shift its culture to reflect more of that of the Holy Roman Empire.

Kolios was one of the most significantly affected nations by the restructuring of the Empire of Agber to an elective monarchy that occurred on 18 June 2020, as a result of the Indiana Proclamation.

The single most significant change was that the Capital District of Agber and the Rose Throne would no longer serve as the official seat of the Empire, rather they would serve as such only while Arlene served as Empress. As part of that change, Kolios' capital was renamed Vindelkrieg. The name is a combination of ''Vindel'' (taken from the original Roman name for the city, ''Augusta Vindelicorum'') and ''krieg'' (taken from the name of the city region the lands of Kolios fall under ''Kriegshaber''). The name change was to limit future confusion should a non-Koliosian sit the Imperial Throne. | ||
The move to an elective monarchy still meant Arlene would serve as both Empress of Agber and Princess of Kolios, but significantly altered the relationship between the two titles. Effectively, she would still serve as Empress, but her eventual successor, Emperor Devon, was elected from the heads of the nations within the Empire when she abdicated. Due to the new structure, her role as Princess of Kolios was made official as part of qualifying her to be Empress, instead of a ceremonial title held ''because'' of her role as Empress. | The move to an elective monarchy still meant Arlene would serve as both Empress of Agber and Princess of Kolios, but significantly altered the relationship between the two titles.

In early 2021, Jordan brought an idea to [[Grand Duke Travis]] of a way to accomplish both of the goals he had, regarding the two nations.
