Grand Kingdom of New Arundel

The Grand Kingdom of New Arundel (French: Grand Royaume des Nouvelle Arundel) is a growing, developing, and established nation with citizens primarily of French ethnicity whose religion is Christianity and is located in Europe on the planet Gaea. New Arundel controls small lands on Nova Terra but controls a world empire on Gaea. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens enjoy freedom from high taxation and as a result tend to earn more money. New Arundel has abundant Lumber and Aluminum and uses them as tradable resources. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. New Arundel is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned. The military of New Arundel has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. New Arundel allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It welcomes all new immigrants with open borders. Free speech is considered taboo in New Arundel. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. New Arundel will not make deals with another country that has a poor history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

=History=

The Kingdom of New Arundel
The Kingdom of New Arundel was established in January, 2007, for a unification of France. Senator Michel Barron of Paris Region helped the French President establish a new government for Paris. New Arundel was originally called the Paris Republic but after the Paris Vice President led a revolt in December, 2006, the Paris Republic divided into two nations. West Paris was renamed New Arundel and East Paris was renamed New Athera. New Arundel renamed West Paris City into Celador and New Athera renamed East Paris City into New Javan.

In late January, 2007, New Arundel and New Athera formed together and called itself the Kingdom of New Arundel. Eventually, New Arundel was renamed, the British Grand Kingdom of New Arundel.

The Royal Republic of New Arundel
Under the Declaration of Republican New Arundel, the British Grand Kingdom of New Arundel became the Royal Republic of New Arundel. The New Arundel Royal Family still lived in the Versailles Palace and the Celador Palace became the Presidential Palace. The King of New Arundel still remained Head of State, but the President of New Arundel became Head of Government. After the formation of the Republic, Republican New Arundel conquered Britain and France.

Civil War
During April of 2007, New Arundel fell into a Civil War because the President of New Arundel tried to murder the New Arundel Royal Family and become Emperor of New Arundel. The followers of the Royal Family wished to reestablish the Monarchy and became known as the Versaillans. The followers of the President wished to be rid of King Michilles II and were called the Old Celadorans. At the Battle of Versailles, the Versaillans defeated the Old Celadorans and, without permission from the Royal Family, beheaded the President of New Arundel.

The Grand Kingdom of New Arundel
After the New Arundel Civil War, King Michilles II and the old President of France established a new kingdom in New Arundel. This new kingdom was named the Grand Kingdom of New Arundel. The old French President became the Celador Governor. Celador and the rest of New Arundel was rebuilt and became far greater than the Kingdom of New Arundel.

On April 21, 2007, the Grand Kingdom of New Arundel rediscovered the Atlantian Isles and took control of the Grand Kingdom of Atlantian Carolina. New Arundel also took control of the Antoinette Isles and the Neo American Isles.

After finding these colonies, King Michilles II founded the New Arundel National Administration of Space Aeronautics on May 5, 2007. When the Artemis space shuttle landed on the Moon, the astronauts founded New Paris, which grew into Lunar France.

On June 20, 2007, King Michel renamed Celador, the royal capital city, Paris.

On June 28, 2007, New Arundel, the Floridian Empire, and Slaybackia discovered Gaea and set out conquering the planet. The New Arundel authority on Gaea became very powerful, but on Nova Terra, the Grand Kingdom of New Arundel lost much of its power and its authority was pushed back into northern France.

=Royal Regions= The Grand Kingdom of New Arundel has claimed all lands that once belonged to the French Republic. Now, all of France and Corsica belong to the Grand Kingdom.

The Grand Kingdom has also taken the lands of Val de Ricote. These lands once belonged to the Kingdom of Val de Ricote before its fall. In June of 2007, the Grand Kingdom took control of southern Germany, Czecha, Austria, Slovenia, northern Italy, Switzerland, and eastern Spain.
