Tritonian Confederacy

For it's successor, see Rossiyan Confederacy.
The Tritonian Confederacy, commonly known as (East) Tritonia, was a sovereign polity and confederacy that consists of the Republic of Tritonia, as well as 10 other smaller republics (16 including the republics that constitute the Volzhskiy Triumvirate) that represent minority ethnic groups within the state. It was spread out across Western Asia as well as small parts of Eastern Europe.
The Confederacy arose after the short-lived Tritonian Federation, that was formed after the Adriatic War, collapsed due to an anomalous event, as a system of government set up by Denasola and Carbon. Unlike any previous forms of the state, the Confederacy elevates the right to sovereignty for each of it's republics, higher than that of the Confederacy itself, so each republic functions like any other sovereign state. Each entity was obliged to choose their own language, system of governance, and had the right to conduct their own international affairs. In turn, members of the Confederacy have a united military that protects the entire nation, and each member was obliged to pay economic support to the "executive" (a chosen member state that heads the Confederacy) to redistribute the wealth across the nation to ensure equality.
The Confederacy was founded based on three principles; the Status Quo Principle, which acknowledges both sides of the exodus political spectrum; the Benevolence Principle, which entitles any other polity membership to the Confederacy when requested; and the Bystander Principle, which severely limits their intervention in other conflicts, and offers a third-party solution to conflicts - offering protection in exchange for Confederacy membership being instated under the Benevolence principle. 
Like it's predecessors, it remains one of the world's foremost powers, having an immense wealth of natural resources.
== Etymology ==
The Acts of Confederation 204 reorganised the former Tritonia into a confederate state of around eighty-five entities, falling under the jurisdiction of twenty different republics (twenty-seven counting claimed territory.) Despite the official name change, and almost complete dissociation with the ways of the past, the state was still referred to as either Tritonia or simply "The Confederacy." After the Confederacy's break-up in 315 CE, the remaining state became commonly known as East Tritonia. 
== History ==
See Tritonia for history before 204.
The Confederacy was formed in the year 215 CE following the Adriatic War when a collection of Tritonian states invaded the rest of the nation, proclaiming a Confederacy. The states had previously seceded from the UQLSR, and invaded the other nations due to their use of suicide bombers in the war.
The Confederacy was relatively peaceful for 34 years, up until it's first major conflict with Yetia over the independence of 5 eastern nations within Yetia's territory - three of which had sent delegations to the Senate. In the end, all five nations had their independence secured but only Vedaburg joined the Senate
In 315 CE, due to amassing huge internal conflict as a result of East Tritonia’s admission, the western and southern regions of the Confederacy broke off to form their own confederacies, namably Ruthenia and Caucasia.
In 350 the Tritonian Confederacy became a founding member of the Eurasian Confederacy, a larger nation state encompassing itself, Zapadoluvakhia, Ruthenian Confederacy, Eastern Idel-Ural, Samoyed-Ugric Union and Siberia.
== Geography ==
== Politics ==
Tritonia had two "levels" of government. On the internal perspective, Tritonia was a full confederacy, with each member being practically independent in all matters other than foreign policy and defence. This leads us to the second level of government, where the Senate had full power over the two matters. 
There are 760 seats in the senate, 400 of which are directly elected, 358 are government-selected delegates from claimed republics and their territories (that are otherwise not part of the Confederacy, are in the process of joining or have expressed a desire to join,) and two speakers - the President and Prime Minister. Each republic elects twenty delegates to the Senate except Calatai-Oeste, who elect eighteen.
In the Senate, there are three factions based on the left-right political spectrum.

== Demographics ==
== Culture ==
One of the primary responsibilities of the Senate was to ensure peace among its subjects. As such, the Senate was placed in charge of cultural events that cover the whole Confederacy. In 220 CE, there was a unanimous decision to revive and host the ancient Zantozacorian festival known as "Psantis Valoris", itself based upon an even older Genian rite known as Tenandan.
