**Amelia II** (*Amelia Nicole Helen Laurentein-Desrosiers of Collines*; born 19 December 1941) is the current Queen of Montbéliard since her coronation on 19 December 1959 and served as the final Monarch of Zvakana till the colony's independence in 1965.

Amelia was the only child of King François XXVII to survive his death, and was scheduled to become the queen soon after her father's death, but the King's National Council decided against it, stating that she was too young to become the queen, and after a vote appointed her cousin Gener V as the monarch. She assumed the throne after her eighteenth birthday on 19 December 1959.

Her reign began with turbulent protests in Montbéliard's final colonial possession of Zvakana in West Africa. The protests mutated into a full-blown war following Amelia II's coronation as the Queen of Zvakana. Under the pretext of war, Amelia suspended all constitutional and republican reforms implemented by her father and reverted the country back to absolute monarchy. With all the power, she ushered a genocidal military campaign to suppress the Zvakans, resulting in the deaths of nearly a million civilians in Zvakana, mainly through ethnic cleansing, forced labour, genocide, disease, starvation and execution. As a result, Montbéliard was under the threat of international sanctions and isolation, and several members of the royal family began to conspire against her, forcing her to end the war and grant independence to Zvakana.

Soon after her golden jubilee celebrations in 2009, she announced her democratic reforms, which were implemented in two different phases.

## Biography

### Early life

Amelia Nicole Helen Desrosiers was born on 19 December, 1941 in Collines, Kingdom of Montbéliard during the reign of her father King François XXVII. Her mother, Freya, Queen consort of Montbéliard was the third daughter of Otto Zeitzler, the Lord of the Treasury of the country, who was of Austrian ancestry. A light frigate was christened *Her Highness Princess Amelia* on her birthday, on the orders of her mother. The frigate saw operations aiding the Italian Navy in Northern Africa, before returning to port following the Treaty of Moscow between the Allies and Montbéliard.

Amelia was home-schooled by a variety of international and local professors, and spent most of her life in her private castle in Collines, built in 1946. Ernst Orvo-Nosfer, the prized Alconbrian physist taught her physics during her teenage years, when he was on the run from the Altivebrian government. According to her younger brother, the Duke of the West Aroys, Amelia showed considerably more interest in politics and national maintenance than her siblings, and as a result, she was groomed by her father to be his replacement.

### Heir to the Empire

Amelia's eldest brother, Prince Harry III, who was the heir apparent, began suffering from Cerebral palsy at the age of 8, and lost his eyesight at the age of 13. After Harry III's death in 1954, Prince Sier became the heir to the throne. However, Amelia II coerced him into giving up his status as a heir, and as a result, Amelia II became the heir apparent in 1956. Prince Seir eventually went to be a famous nuclear physicist.

After her father's death on 22 April 1956, Amelia II was all set to be the new monarch, but her ascension was blocked by the King's National Council as she was too young to lead the country, and appointed Gener V as the acting monarch. She nevertheless began her training as a monarch, guided by her manager Charles Leruier.

### Reign

She went to the Royal Castle on her birthday, and demanded Gener V to abdicate. She threatened of a military coup if he didn't, and in the end, he fell to her assertiveness, and resigned on the same day. Amelia II's coronation, which was planned months ahead, took place on her birthday, and on 19 December 1959, she came the Queen of Montbéliard and Zvakana. She wore a gown studded with gold bits and diamonds mined in Zvakana, and is worth around $10 billion in 2017.
