The History of the Kingdom of Simhanistria is fairly recent. The Kingdom's formation was initiated by His Royal Highness the Prince, Arjunaditya I, Prince of Granderia, Duke of Knightsburgh, Earth of Grandeonia, Baron Castlewick, KC, KS, PC. He planned to create a prosperous, moral, and rich nation. There isn't much to say about Simhanistria's history as its only beginning its nationhood.
By the 2020s, the country had become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy and strong international trading links.

The first thought of creating a nation came to His Royal Highness the Prince, Arjunaditya I, Prince of Granderia, Duke of Knightsburgh, Earth of Grandeonia, Baron Castlewick, KC, KS, PC, SRC on October 23, 2020. Evidence suggest that this thought was evoked by Lord Jesus Christ. Prince Arjunaditya thought that he was destined to be King by divine right and god's will. He thought about ways and means of which could be used to govern his country. He thought about how legislatures, judiciaries, executives, should work, who has ultimate power over it, what kinds of laws and regulations should be placed. Whether to adopt socialist policies. The Prince was a highly conservative individual and hated homosexuals and people similar but recognized the rights of women in the world and recognized the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations but he refused to recognize the rights of sexual orientational minorities as described in the UDHR. The Prince planned to ban abortion all together forever unless in the cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother. The Prince describes himself as a modernist but classicalist.

The SRC formed a drafting committee under its supervision to draft a new constitution with principles from different countries which already had a constitution in force. The Prince is the ultimate authority in the SRC as its Lord President. His will and orders are carried out by other members of the council. He signs decrees in the SRC and ratifies them. The Provisional Government functions through the State Regency Council.
