New Order
In the early years after World War II, some of Arendelle's leaders wanted to maintain the long-standing policy of united neutrality in the Nordic countries, But soon both internal and external reasons led them to change their minds: internally, becoming a victorious nation of World War II brought Arendelle's international status to a higher level, and also have to join a side; with the increasingly fierce opposition between the United States and the Soviet Union, industrially developed Arendelle was even seen by NATO as an indispensable forward base for containing the Soviet Union in the north. Finally, with the encouragement and temptation of the United States, Arendelle joined NATO as the 15th member on March 23, 1954.
During the two decades after the war, Arendelle implemented industrial technology upgrades by adjusting its industrial structure and adapting itself to the world's high-tech development, take the initiative to join the European economic integration process, vigorously develop the capital and technology-intensive industries make the economy a higher level, a complete national welfare system was also established during this period; shipbuilding, military industry, machinery and metallurgy became the four pillar industries of Arendelle. The development of the North Sea oil field in the 1970s made the oil dollar billow like a flood and the Armed Force took this opportunity to acquire the most advanced weaponry: Leopard 2, Combat Vehicle 90, AH-64 Apache, F-14 Tomcat, DDG-51 Aegis destroyers, and so on.
In 1995, Stavanger celebrated Arendelle, Sweden, Austria and Finland joined the European Union with fireworks and Ode to Joy. During the 2008 global financial crisis, Arendelle was safe and sound due to its stable economic structure, healthy financial system and transparent management system. According to the data from UN and World Bank, Arendelle has already reached the forefront of the world's developed countries by 2014: its GDP per capita is as high as 107,554 USD, ranking the third in the world; and its HDI is 0.955, ranking first in the world.
When Karl Messer, the founder of Kingdom of Arendelle was a general of the republic, he vowed to make Arendelle into "Land with independence and happiness" in his speech. Four hundred years have been passed, had the people of his country really gained independence and happiness? Face with the flowers in front of Queen Elsa's statue and the Lamborghini on Stavanger's Avenues, different interpreters will get different answers; ask retired seniors for pensioners and Eastern European immigrants who came here to work for a new life, they will get different answers too. But in any case, the people of Arendelle themselves are best qualified to answer this question.
