Nicomedia novels

The Empire of Nicomedia was a military empire on the European continent during the period 2052-2401. The Empire grew out of the former Turkish Republic, that had fallen in 2049.

In 2050, neo-Dobresh-marxist rebels overthrew the temporary government set up by the European Union. The 2050 coup d'état finally led to the foundation of the Empire of Nicomedia, based in the city of Nicomedia, formerly known as İzmit, Turkey. In its first years, the Empire was led by the enlightened dictator Wolfram The First. From 2065 to 2199, Wolfram's House of Nicomedia ruled the Empire. In 2199, the wealthy Clan of Troy claimed the throne after assassinating the entire House of Nicomedia. The House of Troy reigned until 2232, when it was overthrown by Percival Troyes-Aglovale, known as Percival the Elder. The Percivalists stayed in power until the year 2302. In the early 2300s, republicans staged a series of bloody coups, eventually assuming power themselves. The originally republican faction put Muhammad of Nicomedia, related to the House of Nicomedia, on the throne. In 2310 he assassinated all republicans and strengthened the Emperor's power. Until the year 2401, the Empire was reigned by his descendants.

The Empire of Nicomedia has been at war with the neighbouring European Union, the Shī'ah State of God and the expanding North-African Union. After 2401, the Empire crumbled rapidly, and many areas were reclaimed by their pre-2050-governments.
