The Kingdom of Tretrid is a nation located in southern Novaris. It is located north of Lapinumbia.
Tretrid controlled a large portion of western Novaris up until the War of the Tretridian Succession, upon which its colonies were partitioned by Asendavia and Norgsveldet. More recently, Tretrid was a member of the South-East Pacific Coalition, an observer of the North Shield Treaty Organization, and is a founding member of the League of Novaris.
Its government is a constitutional monarchy. The King nominally gets the final say in laws, but in practice the legislature, the Witenagemot, unilaterally passes laws.
History
Great War
Four Days' War
Main article: Four Days War
Tretrid joined the South-East Pacific Coalition in December of 2016, just as tensions between the SEPC and the Fire Pact Alliance ramped up due to allegations of human rights violations on the part of the FPA. As a result of this, war broke out on December 11 after SEPC ships started to blockade Celannica, an FPA member.
Asendavia, a member of the Fire Pact, sent a fleet to Novaris to attack Tretrid. What resulted were a series of naval engagements off the coast of Tretrid with no decisive outcome.
Tretrid attempted to disable the Fire Pact's orbital weapons platform and space station, the Eternal Wrath, with an ASAT weapon. In response, the Eternal Wrath fired upon and destroyed the SEPC's space station, Myriad Station. The debris from these events are agreed to have been what caused the ablation cascade that ensued shortly after, making much of space near Urth useless. As a result of this, powers like the Veridian Union intervened, threatening diplomatic sanctions against SEPC and FPA nations, unless peace talks ensued. A cease-fire was agreed upon on December 14.
The Treaty of Aura was signed on January 31, 2017. All nations involved had to pay reparations, but especially Tretrid, since it was the nation that fired the ASAT weapon in the first place.
On Feburary 2, the Witenagemot voted on a motion of confidence due to the government's conduct in the war. As a result, Prime Minister Æthelred was forced to resign, and was so replaced by Eoforwine.
