'''Lapinumbia–Tretrid relations''', also referred to as '''Lapinumbian–Tretridian relations''' or '''Tretridio–Lapinumbian relations''', play an integral part in the geopolitics of South [[Novaris]].
Line 81:
===Tretridio-Lapinumbian War===
===Rapprochement===
The conclusion of the Tretridio-Lapinumbian War left the foundation of Lapinumbian power projection broken and shattered its image as South Novaris's dominant naval power.
A declining Reiktic Empire, in an effort to take advantage of the situation and hoping to rejuvenate itself with militaristic fervor, launched an invasion of Bersaleria, kicking off a war in the 1880s. Worried that Reiktic encroachment would endanger its now largely uncontested dominance in South Novaris, and hoping to use Lapinumbia as a buffer against North Gondwana, Tretrid provided Lapinumbia with support before outright joining the war. Lapinumbia was eventually able to fight off the Reiktic invasion, and Lapinumbia would realign its foreign policy to be gradually more and more friendly with Tretrid. Tretrid and Lapinumbia would sign a non-aggression pact in 1893.
While Tretrid would ultimately get entangled in the Great War, Lapinumbia stayed out of the conflict and instead focused on profiting off of the economic turmoil that resulted from the war. One of the most notable manifestations of this policy was that it leased a portion of its dockyards to other countries. Tretrid was one major beneficiary of this program, using it to grow and maintain its fleet during the course of the war, though it would ultimately pay Lapinumbia billions of pounds for their use.
In the immediate aftermath of the Great War, with Tretrid weakened and in the midst of political turmoil, Lapinumbia considered a massive campaign of rearmament to challenge Tretrid's place as the dominant South Novaran power, but eventually decided against it with the belief that the dominant South Novaran power would inevitably end up in conflict with Volscina, and that saddling Tretrid with that rivalry would give Lapinumbia the strategic room to pursue its own agenda.
===Novaran Cold War===
The Lavoa Treaty's signature and ratification in 1943 between Lapinumbia, Tretrid, and [[Transnalpia]] created the Council of South Novaris, which sought to create an economic bloc that could more effectively represent its interests by acting collectively, though its scope would later expand as cooperation between the three countries increased. Despite this, Lapinumbia maintained official neutrality regarding Tretridian disputes with Volscina amidst the Novaran Cold War, and resisted Tretridian attempts to use the CSN's economic power against Volscina and its allies.
Lapinumbia served as a neutral mediator for talks involving Tretrid during this period, with the most notable being the Paravena Conference with [[Mirhaime]] in which the two agreed on a common framework regarding [[Ostretheia]].
===Since 2003===
With the end of the Novaran Cold War in 2003, Lapinumbia started to favor cooperation with Tretrid more, as the potential geopolitical drawbacks that would have come during the Novaran Cold War were no longer present. This resulted in a trade agreement that further connected the economies of the two together, as well as the signature of the South Novaran Mutual Defense Treaty, which established a formal military alliance between the two countries. A third treaty,
Both Tretrid and Lapinumbia were signatories of the Sixfold Declaration in 2017, which established the [[League of Novaris]]. In 2018, Lapinumbia and Tretrid signed an intelligence-sharing agreement aimed at mutually bolstering national security.
Tretrid and Lapinumbia both participated in the [[Balistrian Coalition War]], with Tretrid acting on a bilateral alliance with Alksearia and Lapinumbia acting as a member of the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]]. Tretridian and Lapinumbian forces often worked together, though Lapinumbia's contribution focused primarily on logistical support for the coalition while Tretrid actively pursued a bombing campaign.
