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 WulfricsonWulfricsunu 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 ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu]] agreed to form a caretaker government in coalition with the ÞUD 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 ÞUD. 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 WulfricsonWulfricsunu himself.
 
ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu also started to re-evaluate Tretrid's global position, which had grown precarious from years of neglect. Under the early months of his government, ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu would start engaging Volscina, Celanora, Kuthernburg, and Nacata more actively. He also continued Tretridian support of [[Nuova Volscina]], albeit with great reluctance.
 
===Auroran-Pacific War===
Line 269:
In 2017, the [[Ethalria (Republic)|Republic of Ethalria]] was seized in a military coup lead by General [[Erwina Pipenz]], who declared the formation of the Empire of Uspalria in the stead of the Ethalrian republic, with most of the army supporting her. The government, including President [[Ositha Boracova]], was forced to flee into exile in [[Sani Bursil]]. The [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Ethalrian Matriarchy]] was swift in recognizing Uspalria and started to secure an alliance with the nacent state.
 
In response, [[Great Morstaybishlia]] called a summit of several Auroran nations, along with delegations from Tretrid, [[Hustreache]], and [[Vistaraland]], to meet in Sani Bursil to discuss the developing crisis crisis. During the meeting, [[Stratarin]] was couped by [[Mikhail Starikov]]. While in the Sani Bursil summit, Great Morstaybishlia, [[the Oan Isles]], Vistaraland, [[Axdel]], Hustreache, and Tretrid agreed to work towards restoring Boracova's government in exile, in a seperate meeting, Ethalria, Uspalria, Kostromastan, Gemica, and Stratarin formed an alliance called the Ribenstadt Pact. After returning to Tretrid from Sani Bursil, Prime Minister ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu swiftly published a statement condemning Ethalria and Uspalria for destabilizing Aurora and "endangering the lives of civilians by toying with war."

Line 275:
War broke out swiftly after that, as the Bursil Alliance formed in the summit fought with the Ribenstadt Pact. Tretrid would significantly boster the Third Fleet, its fleet in the Pacific and in the Morstaybishlian Sea, as it ended up bearing the brunt of the conflict. Tretrid would ultimately contribute a significant amount of forces to the Pacific theater of the war, helping to combat Strataric forces and nearly having invaded Stratarin itself had the country not surrendered.
 
Æthelstanson, with the help of Tretrid Ambassador-at-Large to Novaris [[Æthelwine HeardsonHeardsunu]], entered talks with Mexregiona and Hustreache to form a unified command structure for forces deployed in Aurora, resulting in the creation of the [[Novaran Joint Expeditionary Force]]. These series of talks expanded in scope, leading to a series of summits between the three Novaran members of the Bursil Accords, as well as the neutral countries of Lapinumbia, Celanora, and Arlavia. This culminated in the signing and eventual ratification of the Sixfold Treaty, which declared the six countries' intent to create a diplomatic system intended to facilitate cooperation within Novaris called the [[League of Novaris]], and established the Novaran Council as a commission intended to explore means for possible future cooperation and to determine the structure of the proposed League. The Charter of the League of Novaris would be adopted by the Novaran Council and brought to effect with its ratification by four of its six signatories later that year, officially creating the organization.

Line 289:
The two nations likely would have come to blows as a result of brinkmanship had the [[League of Novaris]] not interceded. The LN ordered that Karolingia hold a referendum to determine its future. However, heavy election interference delegitimized the results, and Karling's harsh crackdown on protests only escalated instability further. Ultimately, Karling was forced to flee to [[Gräntierik]], and Karolingia collapsed. The LN authorized the [[Occupation of Correva|occupation of the formerly Correvan lands]], which was once again named Cavellan.
 
Around this time, the Witenagemot passed the Resolution Concerning Schlesia, which formally ended the [[Occupation of Seccera]]. Prime Minister Eoforwine ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu immediately approached [[George Gray]], the last president of the Volscine Confederation, and he agreed to head the new [[Seccera|Seccaran state]].
 
The Correvan crisis had shown how unexpectedly delicate Tretrid's position was, and ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu immediately started re-examining his foreign policy. Among other things, he largely ended the Tretridian investment in Meagharian infrastructure, and he had Tretrid join the [[North Concordian Economic Forum]]. This diplomatic maneuvering resulted in the creation of the [[Tolinsk Accords]]. Another result of this diplomacy was his concerted efforts to bring Meagharia and Tavaris to the negotiating table.

Line 297:
Tretrid was also extending its feelers into Arcturia around this time, having publicly supported the Alksearian King [[Eldras VI]] in a power struggle against nobles who opposed the democratization of [[Alksearia]]. When Eldras was murdered on live television on October 16, Tretrid was one of the many nations to declare war on [[Balistria]]. In the resulting [[Balistrian Coalition War|war]], Tretrid soon came under heavy criticism for its use of [[w:incendiary weapons|incendiary weapons]], especially [[w:white phosphorus munitions|white phosphorus munitions]], and was even accused of attempting to carpet bomb industrial targets with no regard to civilian casualties.
 
As a result of international criticism, ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu had an independent inquiry into the strategic bombing campaign launched just after the end of the Balistrian War, which eventually concluded that "the projected combined death toll of both civilians and combatants in hypothetical conflict without the damage dealt to Balistria's industrial base capacity greatly outnumber the estimated death toll from the bombing of strategic targets in Balistria," and that "somewhat reasonable effort had been made into striking targets strictly of tactical or strategic interest." The Ministry of Defense has also vehemently denied allegations that incendiary weapons were used in strategic bombing raids, and argued that white phosphorus was only used for signaling and smokescreen-generating purposes.
 
Æthelstanson's efforts in getting Tavaris and Meagharia to talk eventually succeeded. On Feburary 19, Tavari and Meagharian officials met in Suþrimaburg, Tretrid, to settle their issues, with Eoforwine mediating. The resultant Kanor Accords brought about the normalization of Tavari–Meagharian relations, where Meagharia gave up its claims to Kanor while both parties agreed to have an independent, LN-sponsored tribune to prosecute Rodokan whalers fishing in Meagharian waters.

Tretrid is a [[w:representative democracy|representative democracy]] in the form of a [[w:federalism|federal]] [[w:parliamentary system|parliamentary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. Tretrid's constitution, the Charter of Privileges, was proclaimed in 1804. Under the Charter, the Witenagemot serves as the federal unicameral legislature. Tretrid's government follows the [[w:Westminster system|Kalmington system]], itself largely a product of Tretridian parliamentary tradition and named after [[Lord Kalmington]], the Prime Minister of Tretrid when the Charter of Privileges was passed.
Line 321:
While on paper, the power of the monarchy is almost absolute, in practice, the monarchy serves mainly a symbolic role as the foundation and guarantor of the Tretridian government, with the King acting as the personification of the state. Executive power is only exercised by the monarchy in times of crisis, and for the most part executive power is delegated to the Cabinet.
 
The Prime Minister of Tretrid, currently [[Eoforwine ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu]], is the head of government of Tretrid. The Prime Minister oversees the government and exercises [[w:executive (government)|executive]] power at the federal level through the Cabinet, and is appointed by the King after support from a party or coalition with a ruling majority in the Witan. The Prime Minister leads the Cabinet and appoints its other members.
 
The Witenagemot, often referred to even in official sources as the Witan (which literally refers to the collective of the body's members instead of the body itself) originally served a role akin to that of a [[w:privy council|privy council]]. It originally consisted exclusively of major nobility and religious leaders. In 1292, the Witan was divided into an upper house, the Athelmoot (''Æþelmōt''), while a lower house, the Folkmoot (''Folcmōt'') was created to give representation to major towns throughout Tretrid. From Tretridian unification until the [[War of the Tretridian Succession]], the Witan generally filled whatever role the King saw fit to give it.
