Republic of Kositia

Capital:Constantinaople

Location:Greece and western Anatolia

History(sry for making it so long): Kositia was founded in 1445 when a Byzantine general called Kosotros overthrew the emperor.Seeing the rise of the Ottomans Kosotros formed a coalition against them with Serbia,Albania,the Mamluks,Venice and the Anatolian nations such as the Karamanid Emirate and Dulkadir.

The coalition fought several wars against the Ottomans having won most of them.As the coalition of Kosotros was sucessful and saved the nation from definite obliteration he became Kosotros the Great.

However after defeating the Ottomans tensions between Venice and Kositia began to rise due to Venice's colonies in Greece.The 2 nation have fought several wars with different results.

In 1618 the 30 years war has started and Kositia joined the anti-Habsburg states and Venice joined the pro-Habsburg states.In the war Kositia managed to take over all Greek colonies of Venice and immediately left the war after doing that in 1633.

This war caused the rise of Kositia and the decline of Venice.

With the end of the 30 years war the golden age of the Empire of Kositia has begun.The golden age lasted from 1641 to 1798 and during that time it has conquered most of Anatolia,the Levant,the Balkans and Egypt.

This era ended with the French campaign in Egypt during the Napoleonic era and after the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1815 Kositia was no longer the same.This was the time of the industrial revolution however Kositia could barely keep up.

Due to it's weakness Kositia had continuously lost wars against Russia,Austria and the Ottomans and once against the British in the Anglo-Kositian war where the British took Egypt.

And to make things worse Kositia had many ethnicities who wanted indepence such as the Serbians,Bulgarians,Bosnians etc.

Due to it's desire to retake it's lost lands Kositia joined the Central Powers however they lost the war and had to cede most of Anatolia to Turkey and it's northern lands to Albania and Serbia in the treaty of Sévres.

Kositia also had to pay large sums of money to the entente and it's army couldn't be larger than 100.000 men.

After the war Kositia had a revolution in which they removed the emperor and became a republic in 1919.

During the interwar period Kositia has been greatly modernizing and it has built up a strong military and a good economy.In World War 2 altrough Kositia remained neutral but due to pressure from nationalist parties it has invaded some of it's neighbours on it's own.It has recaptured significact portions of lands from Albania and Turkey and managed to retake Macedonia from Yugoslavia.

After WW2 Kositia worried by the increasing Soviet influence in Europe decided to allign itself with the USA and joined NATO in 1952 and the EU in 1981.

Nowadays Kositia has a population of 48 million and a GDP of 1.1 trillion making it the 15th largest economy
