Gameria, officially Empire of Gameria (ga:Imperra Gameria) is a country established in 18 February 2012, claiming the lands of Beylikduzu, Turkey. It is assumed that Beylikdüzü was first settled by Greeks from Byzantion in the second century AD as a farming village. It later became a popular resort for residents of Constantiople in the Byzantine Empire, a status that continued after the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. The region was referred to as "Garden" in the later Ottoman period, and following the foundation of the Turkish Republic was called "Kavaklı," after the large number of popular trees, a name which was used until 2003. The modern name means "Plains of the Beylik." After all of these events, The city of Beylikduzu got claimed by both Turkey and Gameria. After the conflicts, the city internationally belongs to Turkey, but micronationally belongs to Gameria. The capital city of Gameria is Adnankahveci, being the second largest city in Gameria. The largest city is Kavakli. The country's official language is Gamerian, but since the Turkish community is bigger than the Gamerian community, Turkish language stays as a de jure language. Gameria is bordered by Turkey and the Aegean Sea.

Etymology

Gameria comes from "gammeristis", a Gamerian word which means "gamers". The -ia suffix is used in the English name, the same with the Gamerian name.

But after February, Thessania, Timur, Gameria, Gularisia, Juzneiza, and some Turkic nations built the "Freedom Pact" and declared a big war to Kadiristan and his allies. The war happened because of Kadiristan claiming Juzneiza and making it an autonomous country. But before the war started, Juzneiza quitted the pact, joining Kadiristan.So the war didn't happen since Juzneizans wanted to join Kadiristan and move along.
