There was no such thing as Serbia in 0AD-1453AD. But if you are trying to make it into a Byzantine era game then your state would be called Macedonia. Byzantine Macedonia included Thessaloniki (ancient Macedonia) and essentially all of the Balkans.

Maybe for fun you could add it but it is not historical.

Umm, Macedonia was never independant in the medieval period, but Serbia was. Just read about Stefan Dusan and the Serbian Empire.

Every village had a king by the 1300's. The real king of constantinople gave those titles to almost any western tribe with an army in hope they would support the eastern front. Byzantium recognised numerous germanic kings and slavic ones etc. But the bottom line is that the name Serbia was not used by anyone except maybe the Serbs and the Latin Empire. I am pretty sure they were called Cyrilics or Macedonians by almost everyone and not recognised as a state by the name Serbia. Macedonia was still greatly populated by Greeks but the Slavs began to outnumber Greeks towards 900AD. (Keep in mind that the proto-Serbians and Greeks made up the population of Byzantine Macedonia, and has nothing to do with the modern state.)

See ST Methodius and Cyril regarding the development of an alphabet for the Slavs.

The reason the saints entered the slavic region was because they still belonged to Byzantium by 900AD but had been overrun by Slavs/Bulgarians. There were attempts to Hellenise or re-Hellenise the region in the 800's but those failed. Later post crusades of 1200's a Serbian kingdom was formed around 1300's that lasted almost 100 years.

The Serbs come into play post 1453 in the 1800's when they were fully established as a sovereign nation. Before that the earlier kingdoms they tried to establish failed after short spans of time.
