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 SDÞ [[Eoforwine Æthelstanson]] agreed to form a caretaker government in coalition with the ADÞ and the MWP. The LDP was purposely left out of this new arrangement. |

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. |
