Its government is a [[w:Constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. The King nominally gets the final say in laws, but in practice the legislature, the Witenagemot, unilaterally passes laws. The current King of Tretrid is Ælfric III, while the Prime Minister is Eoforwine. The capital of Tretrid is Cynebury.
Tretrid's history dates back to the Threnian Kingdom of antiquity, which lasted roughly from the 1st century BCE to the Tore Eruption of 512, after which resulting famine tore the polity apart, leading to its utter collapse and much of its territory fragmenting into smaller, more isolated city-states. The following centuries were characterized by infighting among these city-states, as well as the rise and fall of Westrice, which was situated north of formerly Threnian lands.
The arrival of Ulvrikian settlers from the east in the 11th century lead to a chain of mass migration and ensuing turmoil, followed by the rapid consolidation of Tretrid into three kingdoms, a state that would last for about 200 years until Ælfric I unified the peninsula and proclaimed the creation of the Kingdom of Tretrid in 1256. Over the next two centuries, Tretrid would expand into Dallacquan lands and gain more and more power in Novaris.

After the [[War of the Tretridian Succession]], in which Tretridian West Novaris was partitioned by [[Norgsveldet]] and Asendavia, Tretrid maintained a colony in the form of [[Tretridian Nordenpunto]], and later established [[Transnalpia]] as a means to easier access Nordenpunto. However, in 1981 [[Nordenpunto]] gained independence, seemingly marking an end to the Tretridian Colonial Empire. However, Tretrid still has [[Transnalpia]] as a dependency.
Even without its colonies, Tretrid has historically been one of the premier powers of Novaris, which would often bring it into conflict with other nations. From the late 18th Century onwards, Tretrid often clashed with [[Arkalarius]] in a power struggle over Novaris, leading to the two countries being on opposing sides of the [[Great War]] and eventually culminating in the Novaran Cold War throughout the 20th Century.
