WulfricsonWulfricsunu'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 Wulfricsunu 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 Æthelstansunu]] 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 ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu'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 Wulfricsunu himself.
 
Æthelstansunu also started to re-evaluate Tretrid's global position, which had grown precarious from years of neglect. Under the early months of his government, Æthelstansunu would start engaging Volscina, Celanora, Kuthernburg, and Nacata more actively. He also continued Tretridian support of [[Nuova Volscina]], albeit with great reluctance.

===Post-Auroran Pacific War===
As a result of generally well-received efforts to reform the government, sound economic policy, and the general belief that Tretrid was doing well, ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu's ÞSD would gain seats in the [[2020 Tretridian federal election|May 2020 federal election]], forming a government with the MWP instead of its former partner in the ÞUD.
 
In June 2020, when [[Rodenia]] supported a coup d'etat in the neighboring country of Puntalia, the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances|UCA]] and the [[NSTO]] acted immediately, [[2020 Puntalia Military Intervention|deploying forces in Puntalia]]. Tretrid worked with the NSTO in deploying forces, including 30,000 Tretridian soldiers and a naval task force that included an aircraft carrier. Tretrid also successfully petitioned the [[League of Novaris]] to condemn Rodenia. However, the seemingly inevitable war was halted when Great Morstaybishlia's Prime Minister, [[Franklin Barvata]], threatened both sides in the crisis with sanctions unless they would sit down and talk. Tretrid was one of the signatories of the [[Puntalian Compromise Treaty]], as it would become known.
Line 299:
As a result of international criticism, Æthelstansunu 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.
 
ÆthelstansonÆthelstansunu'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.
