The City of North-West Ariddia was born when the city of Nouvel-Espoir in West Ariddia unilaterally declared its independence as a new, sovereign country which intended to follow the communist principles of the People's Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia (the PDSRA). Thus there were now three Ariddian countries, to the mixed puzzlement and amusement of the rest of the world.
North-West Ariddia's first and most immediate problem was the neighbour which entirely surrounded it, as the newborn nation was landlocked inside its capitalist sibling. West Ariddia proceded to establish a demilitarised zone around the city and its suburbs, a well guarded border, until diplomatic relations between the two countries were eventually established.
North-West Ariddia consists solely in the city of Nouvel-Espoir and its nearest suburbs, and the country's most serious problem in recent years has been overpopulation, which the North-West Ariddians have attempted to deal with both by moving to Ariddia or West Ariddia, and by expanding their city... underground.
After having, for a long time, faithfully duplicated the Ariddian socio-economic model, the city-state has now begun to forge its own unique way, and has re-authorised private enterprise, to a limited degree and within the guidelines of strict regulations. This measure was met with disapproval by Ariddia, but it has enabled North-West Ariddia to redress its slumping economy, and to combine growing economic stability with strong social rights and environmental policies.
The head of State bears the title of 'Second Secretary', as North-West Ariddia traditionally considered itself subordinate to the doctrines of the PDSRA, whose leader is Prime Secretary. The title of Second Secretary remains even though North-West Ariddia no longer defers to Ariddia in any way. All talks of re-unification with the PDSRA are currently on hold as North-West Ariddia explores its own, distinct economic model.
