Aredan History

=Pre-Aredan= Before Aredan ever became a nation it was first known as Gentruse Island located off the east coast of the Krilion Empire. While the island had some population it had no representation in the Empire and often forgotten about in many decisions. During the Presidency of Steven Shalment from (1990-1998) there would be much stress against those of the Christian faith, with Shalment under extreme pressure he would eventually create the Removal Act of 1992 in which all Political leaders of the Christian religion were to be removed from office. Unknowing what it would cause Shalment would be surprised to hear about the beatings and even deaths that Christian leaders would face due to this new policy. Days after the Removal Act, a group of Christian leaders under the name of Reformists of Chirst would ask President Shalment to be placed on Gentruse Island so that they may have some religious freedoms. President Shalment, secretly feeling bad for the chaos and lives lost would allow for the members of RoC and their families to move to Gentruse and even help to build the city of Zathos. In his statement to the press, Shalment would state that this action was to “Remove this group of sad and ignorant people so that they may not infect the Empire anymore. For years they have tried to push their laws and ways upon so that they may violate personal rights for their God.” The years from 1992-2003 would be rather silent, yet more and more Christians who would know call themselves Refugees would request to be allowed to be located to the Gentruse Islands. In May of 2003 however, more problems would begin to surface. The members of RoC, who were responsible for governing the island and keeping everything informed to the President would go before the new president, President Oliver Phillips (1998-2006) and request some changes in the structure of the Island. First due to the massive increase in refugees they would ask that the Island be declared a reservation for Christianity as well as the supplies to build a new city on the southeastern tip of the island. Next the would ask they that establish a protectorate and a council to help stabilize and govern the nation better. Phillips would talk with his Cabinet members and allow for these policies, but would also quickly state that Church Ministers and leaders would no longer be able to preach on what they wanted, and would be given new State curriculums on what to teach in their churches. While the reform could do nothing about this they would once again see a new spike in population and by 2006 they would have to create another city named Trinidad to the northeast of Zathos. However in 2008 things would get really rough, when President Mathen Spritz would take office in 2006 he would declare a vendetta against the Christian faith. Finally in 2007, Spritz would create a law banning the Bible from being sold and even read in public. This would cause for a mass panic of Christians to leave their homes and communities knowing that things would only get worse. Work in Progress
