=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.
