Tritonia (sovereign state)

This state has ceased to exist. For it's successor, see Mylonagrad (now succeeded by the Confederacy)The Kingdom of Tritonia, commonly and simply known as Tritonia (or formally Rusia, until the country of Rusia was founded as a splinter state.) was a sovereign country in Eastern Europe and Far-western Asia. It included almost all of the Ruthenia region of Europe as well as the Ural Mountains and the Caucasus. It also disputed with Sarpistan over Georgia. At the time of its dissolution, it bordered Luvakhia and Yamalia to the north, Mylatsk (which is a buffer state with Lineland) to the east, Sizzle and Wheatistan to the southeast, Apothelis and Sarpistan to the south, Yetia and Mephisinia to the southwest and Poland to the west.
Tritonia, at the time of it's dissolution, was a Tritonian Communist Monarchy, which is a constitutional monarchy (in which the monarch's power is almost entirely symbolic) alongside a democratic parliament which runs the country. Tritonia followed a special school of communism native to itself, which was noted for being very liberal in comparison to other, more traditional forms of the ideology. The last monarch, King Aldren II, reigned from 186 to 204 CE. Governments were formed from the largest party in the Chambrodo, the unicameral legislature of Tritonia, which was based in Tritonia City, (also known as Tritoniyagrad.) Elections occured every 6 years.
Although Tritonia was founded in the Balkans, a nationwide focus known as the "exodus" policy had propelled it's eastward expansion to the Linelandic border, closer to the original homeland of the Tritonian people. As a result, it's western territories as well as it's former capital, Palladia, were abandoned to Yetia. This has led to an ongoing dispute within the country, with people supporting the policy of "re-exodus" to reclaim lost lands in the west clashing with the exodus supporters, as well as separatists in East Tritonia. It's expansion has meant that the capital has moved eastward too, having progressed from Palladia to Tritonia City to the capital Mylonagrad. As a result of the aforementioned separatism, tensions have risen in the country as paranoia that the government will abandon Tritonia City at somepoint in the future has grown, especially since the Luvakhian occupation which marked the first time since 34 CE in which the country ceased to exist as a state. Ultimately, this happened again in 204 CE, with the country splitting into the states of Belarus, Carbon, Red Ruthenia, Rusia, Bashkortostan, Kalmykia and it's successor state Mylonagrad.
Tritonia has been, at times, one of the most powerful and influential states in the world. This owes to Quatritonia, an embodiment of Tritonia that arose from the ruling of the Tritonian Nationalists, (the TNP.) The times in which Quatritonia was the dominant power in the country marked times of great expansion, and at one point Tritonia was the largest country in the world as a result. Nowadays, it plays a laid-back role in world affairs, typically not being involved in many wars, contrasting with its warmongering past.
Tritonia had one of the largest economies, and with a population of 145 million, was classified as a self-sustaining state. Tritonia traded with neighbours for products typically not made inside the country, and as a result food imports were low. It's success with self-sustainability can be owed to the lush floodplains of the Caspian Sea, which is one of the most efficient food producing areas in the world. Tritonia was also well known for its technological advances, and was especially known for perhaps it's most infamous invention - the laser relay. Tritonia had declared ownership of a shared nuclear arsenal alongside it's neighbour and perhaps it's greatest ally Apothelis, but these nukes have only ever been mobilised during a Quatritonia "phase." Tritonia had a high-income economy, and also one of the highest HDIs in the world, and cities like Mylonagrad were (and still are) renowned worldwide for their quality of life.
Tritonia was a member of the UN, a worldwide organisation of nations, which happened to be based in its capital, Mylonagrad. Tritonia was also a member of the Intereurasia Railway Organisation and the Rus Alliance, which it chaired.

== Ancient History ==
The Tritonians first came to earth several thousands of years before the nation of Flamingia was first established in year 34. Since they hadn't undergone cross-breeding with the human race at the time of their arrival so far, they had a distinguishably blue complexion. A few Iujado colonists had also came with them to oversee and take note on how they spreaded across the Earth. As it is well known today, the Tritonians (then called Tritons) began cross-breeding with humans, breeding out the blue complexion in about a thousand years. The Iujado colonists were furious that their effort into rescuing the Tritons had gone to waste. As they tried to get in their ships to launch off of Yata and go back to Corecent, their ships were shot down, even before they could inform Corecent on what happened to the Tritons. From this point on, they were known as Tritonians. A nation was set up by the Tritonians, a vast confederacy of tribes that stretched across Eastern Europe, which, according to modern studies, looked like this.
About 500 years before year 0, Tritonians witnessed many Chorosians passing by it's southern lands, bound for Iran. They saw them build a vast city in the Swat Valley, which they called 'Apothelis.' Tritonian expansion had also grown to this:
It is widely accepted that Tritonia was planning a campaign against Apothelis, which was executed. Apothelis was destroyed and then buried by the Tritonians. The Chorosians were forced to retreat back west. It's intriguing borders earned it the nickname among historians of 'The Eastern Eagle.' The tribes of Tritonia were controlling a vast amount of territory. The largest of these tribes were the future rulers, the Tremar tribe, located on the Baltic coast, which was then defined as one of the reasons Aldren had even planned the gargantuan Tritonian expansion. Around 400 before 0, Palladia was founded, and grew to be no more than a small castle town. For the next 400 years, things would go well for the Tritonian civilisation
== Early days ==
However, in about YATA year 12, the Iujado ships landed back in Tritonia. Everyone rushed to migrate to Palladia as they went on killing sprees in the rural regions of the country. At this point, the Tritonian tribes, such as the Mylonii, had been destroyed. But in Palladia (the only sovereign part of the confederacy left, which had subsequently become Flamingia as of now) it was sure that everyone was safe and sound. They drew closer, so the Tritonians began to dig underground, and found a huge cavern to hide themselves in. They built a facility to monitor the entrance, and made 3 huge vaults, just in case. For the next 22 years, they would hide, until they finally went back up and revolted against the Iujado. It was silent and swift, and the Iujado left again, but not before vowing to return. Flamingia was then reformed into the Kingdom of Tritonia, with Aldren Tremar as it's king.
