Nancy Arnott (born Annette Arnaud; 17 January 1881 - 4 March 1959) was the Arnott family Founder of Kerlile, the second President of Kerlile, and the great-grandmother of the current President Rebecca Arnott. She was the first member of the Arnott family to sit on the Council of Kerlile.
Early life[edit | edit source]
Arnott was born in Laeral to a wealthy family of the surname Arnaud. Upon founding Kerlile, the family changed their name for reasons unknown.
Presidency[edit | edit source]
After the retirement of the first President Greenwood, the Council chose from within its membership a successor, Nancy Arnott. Those supporting the initial utopian ideals were outraged by what they saw as a blatant attempt to prevent the beginning of the democracy they were promised upon the foundation of Kerlile. In an attempt to address these concerns, President Arnott and the Council created the Parliament of Kerlile, an elected body. All female Kerlian citizens over the age of 21 were eligible to vote in the first elections to the Parliament of Kerlile, which took place in 1943.
