Tretrid has been a colonial empire for most of its history, starting in the 15th century with the establishment of [[Tretridian West 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. |

Tretrid has historically been one of the premier powers of Novaris, which would often brought it into conflict with other nations. Indeed, the first 4 centuries of the unified Tretrid's history was largely characterized by its power struggles with Dallacqua, though this largely ended as Dallacqua declined. During the 18th century, Tretrid fought a war with [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]] and waged multiple wars against Norgsveldet. However, the rise of [[Arkalarius]] as a regional power in Novaris and later as a great power brought it into direct conflict with Tretrid, starting in the early 19th century. This rivalry resulted in the countries taking opposing sides in the [[Great War]] and eventually culminated in the Novaran Cold War that pervaded much of the 20th century. The collapse of the [[Arkian Confederation]] and the resulting [[Arkian Civil War]] ended the Novaran Cold War in Tretrid's favor. However, the rise and fall of [[Karolingia]], among other things, have reignited tensions between Tretrid and Arkalarius, enough to the point where most agree that the Karolingian crisis marked the start of a Second Novaran Cold War. |

Despite its many issues and what has been argued to be its decline, Tretrid is still generally considered a [[w:great power|great power]]. Indeed, even though Tretrid has only the third highest military expenditure in Novaris, Tretrid more than makes up for it with soft power; indeed, its admission to the [[North Concordian Economic Forum]] and its role in creating the [[League of Novaris]] have only served to amplify this. Tretrid also largely maintains its position of power through alliances, most notably the [[Tolinsk Accords]], though Tretrid also maintains observer status in the [[NSTO|North Shield Treaty Organization]] and [[IRSA|Interregional Security Accords]]. Tretrid's system of alliances has been argued to be the main reason why Tretrid still remains the dominant power in West Novaris, especially compared to the significantly more diplomatically isolated Arkalarius. |
