The Great Scorvidian Empire of Greater Kollme and the Duchy of Kakks is over five years old since the Scorvidian territiories broke off from the United Kingdom and declared themselves independent on 6th August 2017. The original territories were Greater Tolve and Western Kollme, located in the North and Midlands of England respectively. The territiories were immediately formed into the Independent and Sovereign Great Scorvidian Empire of Greater Tolve and Western Kollme, with Greater Tolve declared as the capital and HGM Theodore I proclaimed as Emperor. A black, red and white flag was created to fuse the flags of the two Scorvidian nations. It was inspired by the flag of the country Scorvidia had long been a part of- Britain. Embassies in Bristol and London were soon established on 16th August 2017 to maintain good relations with the UK. This was followed shortly by the establishment of Scorvidia's Spanish Embassy in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife.
Upon its founding the Empire was immediately met with trouble. Greater Tolve, the nations capital and wealthiest member state, was at risk of being taken back by Britain. Furthermore, Scorvidians living in Western Kollme had had their land split in half upon independence, with the territory of Eastern Kollme still under the control of the British. Nevertheless, Scorvidia received an addition to her Imperial family on 20th March 2018, when the Scorvidian North Sea Colony was claimed. This small colony in the middle of the North Sea received its own unique flag and has become a key part of the Empire.

In April 2018, the Scorvidian Patriots' Party was formed as the Empire's first political party and was voted into government in our first general election. Voter turnout was 64% and the SPP received 100% of votes. The Emperor has since postponed the next election until further notice.
In July 2018, a solution was found to the dispute with Britain. The former capital of Scorvidia, Greater Tolve, was handed back to Britain in exchange for the territory of Eastern Kollme- Kollme was finally reunited. This prompted a renaming of the Empire as well as a new blue, black and white saltire flag to replace the old red, black and white one and a new look for the West Kollme flag. The capital was moved to Eastern Kollme, now the richest and most populated nation of the Empire, on 20th August 2018. Exactly one year from Scorvidia's founding on 6th August 2018, HGM was officially crowned as Emperor of Scorvidia. A silver sword and golden medallion were created to commemorate the occasion- the Imperial Crown Jewels of Scorvidia.
On 30th September 2018 the Empire was expanded further. The small colonies of Rorden and the Mordlands were claimed by HGM the Emperor. The Empire now consisted of 5 territories stretching across the British Isles. The latest and largest addition to the Empire since its founding is the Duchy of Kakks, a country founded on 23rd November 2018 and immediately incorporated into the Empire. As the Duchy borders Western Kollme, the Empire's contiguous land area is the largest it has ever been.
To celebrate 5 years since the Emperor's coronation and 6 years since the Empire's independence, a silver signet ring was commissioned in 2023 to be added to the Imperial Crown Jewels. On 5th January 2024, following the closure of the Bristol Embassy, a second Scorvidian Embassy in Britain was established in the city of Cambridge.
Scorvidia now enjoys a long period of prosperity, stability and peace...
