Serbia (Imperial Re-Uprising)

Serbia (Serbian: Србија, Srbija) officially the Kingdom of Serbia (Serbian: Краљевина Србија, Kraljevina Srbija), is a landlocked country situated at the crossroads of Central[6] and Southeast Europe in the southern Pannonian Plain and the central Balkans.

It borders Hungary to the north, Romania to the northeast, Bulgaria to the southeast, Greece to the south, Croatia and the Islamic Republic of Bosnia to the west. Its capital, Belgrade, ranks among the largest and oldest citiеs in southeastern Europe.

For much of the post-Yugoslav era, Serbia experienced a huge decline in its population, economy and society. Its existence was threatened by the rise of the Pax Islamica, which armed Albanian and Bosnian Muslim incursions into Kosovo. In addition, the Serbian Civil War saw the rise and return of the monarchy in 2042. However, after World War III, with the help of the superpowers Russia and Germany, Serbia experienced rapid economic growth and recovery, followed by a Golden Age that paved to way for its rise of become the paramount power of the Balkans, surpassing Romania, who was slated to become the paramount power of the Balkans.

As of today, Serbia is a major power. It is one of the major space powers, containing bases and observatories on the Moon, Mars, Venus and Titron. It is the paramount space power of the Balkans.

Civil War 2039-2044
Serbia escaped the horrors of World War III. However, it did notnescape the horrors of internal unrest. Much like Russia in the 2020s, Serbia found herself in a civil war fougjt between pan-monarchists, communists, progressives and right-wing republicans.

The Pax Islamica used this as aan oppurtinity to back an Albanian invasion of Kosovo and southern Serbia.

Eventually, the pan-monarchists under Mila Karađerđević and the right-wing reoublicans under Vladimir Bošković, decided to unite, and take outnthe communists and progressives. In 2041, the progrssives were defeated and executed as traitors, and the communists were jailed.

General Bošković eventually saw that Mila was a better leader, as she rallied smaller paramilitary units to take out larger Albanian and Islamic forces. In 2042, Vladimir Bošković allowed Mila Karađorđević to take full control of Serbia. Eventually, the republicans were absorbed into the monarchist camp.

2042 - Monarchy Restored
As the Queen of Serbia, Mila skipped the coronation and went straight to invading Bosnia, and uniting the Bosnian Serb communities with their Serbian proper counterparts.

However, wanting to prevent a Yugoslav-style defeat, Mila halted all invasions, and called on Russia to aid Serbia. In return, Serbia would enter into an alliance with Russia. Supreme Leader Nikolay Chernov responded by sending $3.1 billion worth of heavy arms, as well as raw material, and foreign contingents.

Even before the future 2046 Battle of Kosovo, batches of Serbian and Russian units would conduct guerillia attacks against Albanian and Islamic forces in Kosovo, and carry out patrols over the Kosovo Serb community.

In 2045, Russia and China sealed their victory in World War III, and as promised, Serbia entered into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization with the two new superpowers.

In 2046, Serbia retook all of Kosovo, driving Albanian, Islamic and KLA units out of Kosovo. Kosovo was turned into a temporary military stronghold for Serbia, since Queen Mila knew that Albania and the Pax Islamica would retaliate.

Albania again, retaliated in 2048, but was decisively defeated by a well-prepared Serbian force. Under threat of Russian sanctions, the Pax Islamica removed it's support for the Islamic Republic of Albania. The Albanian government severed ties with the Pax Islamica as a result, and went on a crackdown on non-Muslims in Albania.

Russia and Serbia embarked on a secret mission to evacuate Albanian Christians, and this eventually gave Queen Mila a new idea, a complete and total invasion of Albania. Knowing of a large Albanian Catholic population, Croatia also asked to join the mission.

Although originally, Queen Mila had no intent of establishing full Serbian control of Albania, however, from Russian spies in Albania, Belgrade learned that Albania was attempting a larger, and better-coordinated invasion, set for 2050. Albania was secretly collaborating with California for a 2050 invasion.

Infuriated, Queen Mila launched Operation Petar, named after a fallen family member who died fighting against the Islamic invasion.

Serbia, with Russian aerial guidance, launched a massive preemptive strikes against Albanian military targets. Although the Albanians put up a valiant resistance, Serbia ended up successfully conquering Albania by 2052. The Serbian flag was raised above the Tirana capital building.

Albanian Christians were spared. The Serbian government ended up enacting Reconquista-style pogroms against Albanian Muslims, deporting all military-age men, and requiring all women and children to renounce Islam and convert to Christianity.

2051 - Golden Age
The 2050s was full of economic progress and political stability for Serbia. Many Serbians were given jobs, primarily aimed at rebuilding Serbia. Even once-impoverished Serbians were given jobs.

Along with this, came the Slavicizing of Kosovo and Albania, in which Belgrade began to enforce Serbian culture and identity in Kosovo and Albania. In addition, came the "Serbifying" of Macedonia and Montenegro, in which the Montenegrin language, ceased to be recognized as a language, and simply a Serbian dialect.

Because of Macedonia's impoverished history, native Macedonians saw no need to resist Serbian rule, in addition, Queen Mila allowed Macedonian to be co-official to Serbian.

In 2053, construction began on the Kosovo Space Observatory.

In 2055, Serbia held its Parliamentary Elections, since Queen Mila knew, that an absolute monarchy could only last for so long. The 2055 Serbian Constitution laid out the requirements for all Prime Minister candidates, requiring all to be a Serbian Orthodox, and upholding Serbia's status as a Christian state, defending the Christian faith and upholding Christian law. In addition, one had to be an ethnic Serb, and Serbian-born.

In 2056, Vladimir Bosković became Serbian Prime Minister.

In 2056, Serbian military geologists discovered what would, today be known as the "Impossible and Mysterious Complex" (Serbian: Немогући и тајанствени комплекс) in the Zlatar Mountains. The complex got its name due to the fact that despite the Zlatar Mountains having been accessed thousands of times before, the complex was never found, seen, nor recorded in any written historical books.

This complex contained a chamber, known as the "Swords of the Kings", containing historical weapons used by Serbia's most historical rulers.

In addition, conspiracy theorists also claim that Serbian military personnel have found a chamber, containing "impossible relics", historical relics from other realities and parallel dimensions. Some of the relics claimed to have been found include a history book from a Russia once-again communist, an implantable micro-chip used in the economy of a reality ruled by a one-world government, as well as real-life pictures of human-harvesting towers - sacrifices for alien rulers who have taken over the Earth in that respective reality.

In 2060, Serbia's first national planetarium and civilian space observatory was completed, as part of the larger Kosovo Space Observatory.

Economy
The Serbian economy is currently the largest and strongest of the Balkans. The jedenica, is Serbia's national currency. Serbia's nominal GDP is $1.2 trillion. Its main sources of economic revenue include machinery, food production, tourism, aerospace and radio technology.

Tesla Design Bureau, as well as the Tesla University, are among some of the world's renowned tech universities.

Serbia's rich food production lies in Macedonia and Kosovo, and its aerospace industry operates mainly from Kosovo, home to the Kosovo Space Observatory.

Serbia's wealth comes through extensive trade relations and partnerships with the superpower giants such as Russia, Indonesia, Germany, Brazil and Canada, as well as other global powers such as the Dixie Republic, and other European nations such as Greece, Italy, France and the United Kingdom.

Politics
Serbia's politics runs on a constitutional monarchy. The country is ruled by a monarch, and divided into principalities or Књажевина/''Knjaževina, each ruled by the members of the ruling royal family. ''However, all of the powers of the monarchy are constitutionally vested in the country's Prime Minister, and a "Principality Governor".
