▲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.
Line 152 ⟶ 150:
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.
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. The collapse of the [[Arkian Confederation]] and the resulting [[Arkian Civil War]] ended the Novaran Cold War in Tretrid's favor. However,
Even 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.
