Republic of Trinity

The **Republic of Trinity** or just **Trinity** is a nation located on the southern reaches of South Columbus of the planet Usonia that borders the Mojave Coalition. This nation is based-on a "What If" alternate timeline by Cody of Alternate History Hub video about Texas divided into three different states and Trinity is one of them.

## History

### Division of Texas (Original Timeline)

In an alternate history after the American Civil War, Texas get divided into three new states after a proposal was passed and in the eastern state of the Trinity River, Trinity was born. But not without any form of conflict as some were against the division and even more violence and rioting until it was quelled. And it became more permanent afterwords.

But it was a lower populated state since it didn't have access to any large plains for ranching or access to oil. It was geologically beautiful, but there wasn't much else except for maybe some mining and lumber due to the mountainous areas.

### Psyche Multiverse & Real Universe

It did appear in the psyche multiverse along with the other two states such as Texas and Rio Grande thanks to the YouTube video. However, when the second phase of the apocalypse came, the United Nations & Creations along with the United Nation States of America came in and kicked out any unofficial works of the entire psyche multiverse and claimed all forms of Earths where the USA exists. As a result, Trinity along with Rio Grande were relocated onto a new planet. This planet is known as Usonia and it is in the Cascadia Galaxy of the real universe.

It took a while to settle into the southern coast of South Columbus and bordering close to the Mojave Coalition. The Republic of Trinity, as it has now call itself, made a few trade agreements with the coalition but the republic has also accepted a few green policies that Mr. House has to agree such as no over mining or over deforesting in order to preserve much of the environment. The reason being is that they do not wish to make the same mistakes like all other humans did with Earth and to prevent any further ecological catastrophe. But they do get into trouble with Rio Grande to the east over some oil deposits and natural gases.

As some companies of both Trinity and Rio Grande were about to declare war on each other with their private armies. But both the United Confederacy of Exiles and the Independence League intervene before things take a turn for the worse. A treaty was signed as Trinity signed to join the U.C.E. while Rio Grande joined the I-League. So things are peaceful for now as Trinity gained new citizens and have a shift in culture with alien races joining in.

## Government

The Republic of Trinity is a federal presidential republic under a representative democracy. It follows much of the USA's model of government with a bill of rights, the cabinet, congress being the senate and the house of representatives and so on. However, there are three political parties that are called by colors. There is the Red Party, which is the Republican Party that represents conservatism. There is the Blue Party, which is the Democratic Party that represents progression. And lastly, there is the Green Party which represents centralism and green politics.

## Society & Culture

Originally, Trinity has a culture similar to Texas such as cowboys, rodeos, stereotypical Texas culture. But it has evolved when it came to Usonia, much has changed. It started to accept some alien cultures such as the Duros from Star Wars that bring in their adventurous spirits, some dwarves that use their skills to mine some mystical metals and minerals, and a few other beings including werewolves, some species from Shadowrun, Clakkers from Oddworld along with Grubbs, and many more. Despite all of these changes, it is still consider cowboy country as everyone like to wear the same styles with many ranching or enjoying many freedoms that come with the cowboy outfits.

The Republic of Trinity has the most liberal gun laws as everyone is armed with a variety of weapons at their disposal.

Despite being a more eco-friendly nation, there are some traces of cattlepunk in Trinity thanks to the Clakkers from Oddworld and some of the dwarves.

## Economy

There are many job opportunities in Trinity that range from agriculture to lumber to oil refining. Between Trinity and Rio Grande, there are large petroleum reserves that companies of both nations almost killed each other if both U.C.E. and I-League hadn't intervene. There are fifty known petroleum fields at the eastern Trinity border that use the most advance drilling platforms and refineries to extract both oil and natural gases down to the last drop.

There is a good deal of mining being done in certain areas of the country that have been extracting coal, iron, titanium, diamonds and other materials. Uranium is a great resource when trading with the Mojave Coalition in order to get some items that require nuclear material such as plasma, lasers, and a few nuclear powered robots. There is also a great deal of lumber in Trinity as there are many dense forests in the southern regions with lots of different species of trees. Some of them are used for construction, trade, wood chips, etc. Plus they also tore down many of these trees in order to make roads and railroads to cities in the country despite some of the difficulties. Some of them include people nearly getting killed by the falling trees, protestors, some contracts that had to be triple signed and counter signed.

In the northern region of Trinity, there are many plains and valleys where there is plenty of agriculture being done. There is a great deal of wheat and corn growing in this region and plenty of cattle that roam across the plains. There are a few mountains that prospectors go to in order to get gold, silver or anything that can make them rich. But there are also many wind farms and solar farms that generate plenty of power for all the towns in the north.

## Military

The **Trinity Military** is the main military force that is divided between the army, navy and air force. The air force is divided into two parts with one being atmospheric and the other being in space.

There are also many militias that are armed with a wide array of weapons and managed to get their hands on whatever they can use. The biggest militia group in Trinity is the Wild Gunslingers as they patrol many areas of Trinity to gun down any lawbreakers and use guerrilla tactics against any enemies while they ensure safety and security. Thanks to that militia group, crime rates are down significantly which makes it the safest country to be in.
