Kingdom of Niros

The Kingdom of Niros, known as the Nirosian Empire in its later years, was a historic empire that at its greatest extent, encompassed the majority of Eurasia and parts of Africa. It was ruled by various kings of the royal Kalipo dynasty. Despite its name, historians generally categorize the kingdom as being an empire, due to the vast amount of partly autonomous vassal states that were part of it. Due to the Kingdom of Niros' vast extent and long endurance, the institutions and culture of it had a profound and lasting influence on the developement of language, religion, philosophy, law and form of governement. 
The kingdom was the most technologically advanced for its time, and by far largest in terms of land area and population. Many historians attribute this to the novam urbem centrism policy that Kalipo II ratified. The novam urbem centrism (literally translated as new city centrism) policy dictated that a significant portion of the kingdom's budget is to be used for funding and establishing new cities and mega-cities throughout the kingdom. Although the cities were more or less developed one at a time. When a city was to be established, the head of government and royal officials effectively moved the capital to whichever city was currently being founded, although the de jure capital was not changed. The reason for this was so that the current new city was to be the temporary centre of the kingdom, which incentivized trade to flourish.
== History ==
The kingdom was established when the Nirosian federation was dissolved.
=== Vassal states ===
After its rapid expansion, the kingdom began to grant certain rights to some of its regions. These regions were made into vassal states called Grand Duchies, where the local Dukes had the right to pass their own laws and oversee their own development.
=== Nirosian Empire-era ===
The Nirosian Empire was the short-lived state, which was established following the drastic reorganization of the royal government structure. The autonomy of the vassal states were revoked and the previous regional rulers were replaced by more loyal and militaristic ones. The transition into the Nirosian Empire was done largely due to the king's ambitions to annex the rest of Eurasia, as some of the northern and eastern tribes had yet to join the empire. However, this did not come to fruition as the recently fired feudal lords organized an uprising in which the king was overthrown and the empire was eventually dissolved entirely. In the western parts of the former empire, the Nirosian lord John the Great founded the Thustian Empire, which became the foundation states of modern-day Johania and Myohania and also to some extent, Hellas.
