History
The proposal for a new nation located around lake Eire originated in 1826.Many of the people in this area had grown dissatisfied with the current government, and many either wanted to change the current government a create a new country. The people started to demand a referendum. The President finally caved in to these demands. The majority of people voted to become independent. Although America was reluctant to actually let them go free they did give this area more autonomy. This satisfied the people for a while, but when the American Civil War started they took their opportunity to declare independence. They Also bought some lands from Canada. During the Civil War Arith assisted the union, thus the kept decent relation with the America. The new nation began to thrive and established relations with many nations. When World War I broke out the King and Prime Minister worked hard to keep the nation neutral and succeeded. In 1935 Jacob Hammer, a fascist pro german, was elected as prime minister. When World War 2 started Arith actually declared war on the United Kingdom however the king removed the prime minister from office and joined the allies. Arith was very hesitant to join both NATO and the UN. They did join UN in 2001 though, but have yet to join NATO.
