After the Volscine Civil War ended, the victorious Volscine Empire claimed Nuova Volscina's territory as rightfully Volscine. The unpopular oligarchic regime of Nuova Volscina likely would have collapsed or been toppled by Volscina if Tretrid had not moved to ally itself with the country, propping the state up. Tretrid sought to prevent a resurgent Volscina from reclaiming its former territorial extent, to effectively prevent it from regaining its pre-Civil War strength.

This was highly controversial, even in Tretrid itself. Opposition politicians denounced the move as propping up a corrupt, ineffective regime, especially in light of the increasingly unpopular continued [[occupation of Seccera]]. After members of the Nuova Volscine Council were implicated in the corruption scandals around then-Prime Minister Æthelred Wulfricsunu in 2016, continued Tretridian support of the regime was denounced as corrupt and fueled by bribery from Nuova Volscine officials. By the time [[Eoforwine Æthelstansunu]] became Prime Minister at the end of the year, he noted his "reluctance" to continue supporting the state but believed that it was "absolutely necessary" for Tretrid's foreign policy.

On July 24, 2020, the Prätorianer assassinated the entire ruling council of Nuova Volscina. Backed by the Prätorianer, Field Marshal [[Guerino Correvaci]] seized control of the country and declared himself king of the newly proclaimed state of Correva.

Volscine LN Ambassador [[Constanzo Saturnino]] stated to the Novaran Council that Volscine naval records contradict the suggestion that one of their submarines was in Correvan waters and noted that various experts had verified them. He also pointed out that Correvan sources had indicated that the submarine had not headed back north towards Volscina, and argued that only circumstantial evidence placed Volscina under suspicion for the attack. He also reaffirmed the Volscine policy that Correva was rightfully Volscine.

Tretridian LN Ambassador Beorhtsige Wulfricsunu, in response to Saturnino, expressed his belief that the records could have been faked, and that the submarine could have instead returned southwest towards Ietracia. He also pointed out claims that Volscina had already violated Correvan sovereignty by having their troops crossed the border and stated that verified Correvan records contradicted Volscine claims that said soldiers were Correvan.

The Novaran Council eventually voted to hold a referendum in Correva to determine the future sovereign status of the state over Wulfricsunu's objections. The Council also voted to form a commission dedicated to investigating the attacks.
