The **Protectorate of Arvidland**, simply **Arvidland**, is a partially annexed territory of Ninjago established on 5 May 2021 following the defeat of Arvidland's previous protector; The United Nations of ShitCraft, by the Vaushists and the local Arvidlandian forces. In the treaty, Ninjago swore to Arvidland and the League of Nations to protect Arvidland until the missing Supreme Leader; Gnome\_Lord returns, or alternatively when his successor; Leo, declares Arvidland's independence from Ninjagoan protection.

The constitution of Arvidland was slightly changed following the treaty of protection, giving Ninjago more control in Arvidlandian decision making. This was mainly done to give Ninjago better control in case of an emergency and to hinder the Arvidlandian people to turn against Ninjago. The new governmental body became internally and internationally known as the Protectorate of Arvidland, but the country itself is still formally known as the **People's Democratic Socialist Nation Republic of Free Korea and Gulandia**. The "Gulandia" part of the formal name is usually stripped in most contexts, due to Arvidland losing its Gulandian claim. Gnome\_Lord, however, remains Supreme Landlord of Gulandia for symbolic reasons.

Currently, Ninjago has 10 battalions stationary in Arvidland at any given time, constituting 10,000 men. In case of emergency, Ninjago is obliged to send 3 divisions, constituting 90,000 men. Arvidlands own military size is only 1000 personell, however with 650,000 people in reserve.

## History

After Gnome\_Lord disappeared at the end of ShitCraft IV, the country destabilized and the United Nations took control of the country.

During the conflict in East Asia between Ninjago and the UN, the Anti-UN pact member, the Myjohanian Union, invaded Arvidland from Formosa to liberate the Arvidlandian people and use its ground to set up a grand invasion of the Ninjagoan island to defeat the UN.

After the conflict ended, Arvidland was still in political dissaray. Similarly in Europe, another former great power, Raukirland, suffered the same issues. To prevent the UN from taking power in the two nations, Ninjago and Myjohania signed a treaty to protect the two nations. Ninjago vowed to protect Arvidland and Myjohania to protect Raukirland.

During the wars against the UN, Arvidland lost great territories as Gulandian forces fought for independance. The Ninjagoan army stepped in and drew a border for Arvidland, which left out some traditionally Arvidlandian territories including the Gulandian speaking part of Arvidland known as Liaodong but also the territory of Guland.

## Ninjagofication of Arvidland

*See: Ninjagofication*

Since Ninjago gained control over the Arvidlandian peninsula, Ninjago attempted numerous times to integrate the Arvidlandian population into the Ninjagoan culture by promoting Ninjagoan supportive companies and media. The companies also receive further aid if the workers of the company are Ninjago-friendly and know the Ninjagoan language, giving company owners the incentive to recruit workers with these qualities. This lead Arvidlandians to be forced into Ninjagoan culture and language, which ultimately lead to strikes. Ninjago partially lifted its push towards the companies but increased policing in Arvidland's streets to prevent further protests.

In other regions previously belonging to Arvidland, mainly Liaodong, Ninjago Ninjagofied the local Koreans by renaming locations and streets, as well as banning all non-Ninjagoan media. Gulandians and other minorities were instead deported, mostly to the north. These were seen as unfriendly acts and a way to minimize Arvidlandian identity and importance further ruining Arvidland-Ninjago relations.

These acts have been planned for since ShitCraft IV where under the Land of the Spinjitzu Master idea, the Arvidlandian peninsula is known as ***Chōsen*** (朝鮮).
