Stefan Borislav IV

Stefan Borislav IV, is the current emperor of the Serbian empire and the son of the 4th reigning emperor, Stefan Borislav III. He has been the reigning emperor since the 18th of June, 1990, when he got coronated in Belgrade a day after his father passed away in the Turkish revolution.

## History:

Borislav was born on the 9th of July, 1966 to Borislav III of Serbia and his wife. He was born as Stefan Miroslav Borislav Karađorđević in Belgrade, the capital of the Serbian empire. Borislav grew up in Belgrade with his uncle, Borislav II, as his father moved to Niš in a private chateaux. Therefore, Borislav grew up hearing his uncle's more progressive policies, which would prove to be important in his later life.

Borislav joined the air force in August of 1985 instead of the army, as he felt the air force was more for himself. Borislav quickly rose through the air force ranks due to being a part of the royal family and more importantly being the Naslednik to the throne, graduating from the air force academy as a Lieutenant colonel on the 11th of October, 1987 at the age of 21.

### Reign of Borislav III

After the supposed resignation (which eventually was proven to be an arrest) of leftist prime minister Alija Stojanovic on the 17th of March, 1984, a new nationalist regime was slowly set up by Borislav's father and the newly appointed prime minister Radovan Ratković. The two men started a totalitarian dictatorship where the emperor had almost all power and all ethnic groups that the emperor didn't like would be "punished."

Borislav didn't agree with his father's hateful policies and decided to support the newly formed opposition coalition of parties in 1989, openly rebelling against his father's totalitarian cabinet. Borislav's popularity rose way above his father's in June of 1990 due to his advocation of peace during the Turkish revolution.

Behind closed doors, Borislav's father would often verbally abuse him, yelling insults and calling him a "disgusting communist" on multiple occations. This affected Borislav's mental health, causing him to have trust issues.

## Early reign as the Emperor of Serbia

Borislav started his reign after his father died on the 17th of June, 1990. He was coronated in Belgrade on the 18th of June, 1990, a day before his father's funeral and burial in the Church of St. Sava next to his grandfather Franjo I. Borislav started his reign by making peace with the Turks on the 20th of July, 1990 and then ordering the destruction of all prison camps the day after.

Borislav then set off on reversing all of the hateful policies his father had made during his six-year-long reign as emperor of Serbia. Borislav's rule was threatened by Constitutionalists who wanted the new constitution to be rewritten, as it had been written mostly by monarchists in the cabinet. The constitutionalists started a coup in November of 1991, which didn't last long, as Generals Dobroslav III and Petar II defeated it in 3 weeks.

Borislav has become weary of the Soviet Union, due to it's recent alliance with Japan created on the 9th of August, 1997. Borislav warned the two nations that if they would attack the empire, it would pull in all of it's allies to the conflict.

### Fourth World War

The Fourth World War broke out after long standing tensions with the USSR on the 8th of April, 2004. Borislav was extremely stressed about the war, as he was a relatively young ruler and had never commanded an army before. Generals Petar III and Draža IV told Borislav that the war would go well and to not worry too much about the conflict, as they didn't want the emperor's mental or physical health to deteriorate during such a hard time for the nation.

Borislav's stress only grew after the Soviets reached the city of Cluj-Napoca and started attacking it's defences by late August of 2006. Borislav later overcame his fear of the war and visited general Petar III in Cluj-Napoca at the front on the 20th of September, 2006. There, they would brainstorm different plans for counter offensives until Petar came up with the idea of retreating from the city and later surrounding the tricked Soviets in the city and wiping out their force.

The plan worked and the Soviets were later pushed back into their own land and after the decisive battle of Kiev, the Soviets finally capitulated on the 18th of June, 2008.

### Peacetime

After the end of the war, Borislav announced the Belgrade conference on the 2nd of February, 2009, which would be held on the 1st of March, 2011, to discuss peace all around Eurasia and North America, the most heavily affected regions by the war. The conference was a success, with Borislav being awarded an order along with the two most prominent generals in the war at the end of the festival like conference.

Borislav has opened up relations with many new countries which broke free from the imperial powers in Africa, much to the dismay of France and Britain at first. The two nations eventually caved in and opened up relations with their former colonies as well after Borislav sent multiple letters urging the nations to keep the peace around the world in early June of 2017.

Borislav's most recent policies have been related to the different ethnic groups in the empire, giving them more freedom in the empire and deciding to federalize it, with the empire on a path to becoming the nation of Yugoslavia once more. As of now, Romania and Greece gained significant autonomy from Serbia in early April of 2020 with Borislav's new policies. Borislav's health however, is deteriorating and current politicians are worried, as Borislav's son, Zivko, seems to be more conservative than the rest of the royal family and is the current Naslednik. Zivko is thought to be an avid supporter of Rodavan Jovanovic and the old policies that the archchancellor had made in the mid to late 1970s.
