Northrenpynt remained as part of the Tretridian crown until 1953, when it joined [[Aponivia]] as a result of a referendum.
 
The revolution itself led to the ÞCP to be banned and spurred the creation of the Asatru Democratic Party of Tretrid (ADÞÞAD), which sought to promote royalistic populism. As the Conservative Party had largely collapsed due to the Great War, the ADÞÞAD would entirely supplant it even as it remained small throughout the 1920s.
 
The political power struggle between the King and Witan that had started during the Great War continued well into the 1920s, as Ælfric II sought to assert his authority against a Witan that had grown massively in power since the start of the 19th century. One of the primary results of this struggle was establishment of [[Transnalpia]] as an independent country under the Tretridian crown in 1927, an action that historians have largely attributed to spite as to remove the jurisdiction of the lucrative Transnalpian Rail from the jurisdiction of the Witan.

Wulfricson's government was eventually revealed to be highly corrupt and more focused on enriching the cabinet ministers than actually governing the country. The scandal would implicate companies in several other countries, including Volscina, the [[Union of Free Cities]], Lapinumbia, and [[Nuova Volscina]]. The most damning evidence turned out to be a ''Cynebury Herald'' article comprehensively documenting systematic bribery and embezzlement within the goverment. After Wulfricson refused to resign, the Witan removed his government through a [[w:vote of no confidence|vote of no confidence]] in December 2016. Snap elections were instituted, but to keep the instruments of state operating, the Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the ÞSD [[Eoforwine Æthelstanson]] agreed to form a caretaker government in coalition with the ADÞÞAD and the MWP. The LDP was purposely left out of this new arrangement.
 
The [[2017 Tretridian federal election|snap elections]] concluded in mid-January 2017, leading Æthelstanson's ÞSD to form a government with the ADÞÞAD. The new Prime Minister swiftly instuted sweeping corruption probes into the LDP and companies implicated in the scandal. Several leading figures in the LDP ended up convicted for various corruption charges, including Wulfricson himself.
 
Æthelstanson also started to re-evaluate Tretrid's global position, which had grown precarious from years of neglect. Under the early months of his government, Æthelstanson would start engaging Volscina, Aponivia, Kuthernburg, and Nacata more actively. He also continued Tretridian support of [[Nuova Volscina]], albeit with great reluctance.
Line 268:
 
===Post-Auroran Pacific War===
The ÞSD-ADÞÞAD coalition would break apart in late 2017 when Æthelstanson began outreach to [[Meagharia]], which was fresh out of civil war. The government's decision triggered a mass resignation of ADÞÞAD ministers in government. Æthelstanson ended up forming a coalition with the MWP instead to keep himself in government. Tretrid started sending aid to Meagharia and even worked to secure an alliance with the state, something that ended up massively alienating the nominally friendly Norgsveldet.
 
As a result of generally well-received efforts to reform the government, sound economic policy, and the general belief that Tretrid was doing well, Æthelstanson's ÞSD-MWP coalition would gain seats in the [[2020 Tretridian federal election|May 2020 federal election]].
