Location of Trimeda

Trimeda (Try-MEE-duh) is bordered by Chaster in the North, Bestings to the East, New Madrid to the South, Shandle to the Southwest, New Mexico to the West and Colorado to the Northwest.

Trimeda is made almost entirely of highways, interstates, other roads and the (un)natural land it was built on. It is famous for, among other things, its 100,000-lane highway. Vehicles do not use fuel while in Trimeda.

No sidewalks, buildings, loiterers or settlements of any kind are allowed in Trimeda. Violators are shot until dead.

## Trimedan Roads

Trimedan roads are made of asphalt and/or concrete, and are almost indistinguishable from anything you'd find in the frontstates, albeit without any road signs. The vast majority of Trimeda is covered in roads, albeit there are parts with signifigantly less dense road structures than others. Rarely, the road will move and change shape.

Trimeda has many types of roads that do not exist in large quantities in any other state, such as the

-Funnel Road

-Loop-De-Loop Road

-Upside-Down Road

-Underwater Road

and many more.

Some underground and far-above-ground roads lead to states it does not border, usually Mesfate. Roads to Mesfate are considered to be part of Trimeda, so Trimedan rules apply throughout, but this is not true of roads to all (back)states.

## Physiology and Behaviour

Trimeda is mathematically altered "matter" from New Nantes. It is able to make matter move as if it were a thick gel or liquid, and solidy it at will. It creates asphalt, concrete, paint, signs and other things from matter that it extracts from deep under the state. It "digs holes" by doing this to build its vast amount of underground tunnels. The dug matter is then made liquid and pumped through the hollow cores of its roads to wherever it is needed. Often its underground tunnels go past its own border and underneath other states. The US government, and several backstates governments, do not acknowledge these border claims and forcibly redirect or destroy Trimeda's progress into certain states.

### Codarial Fusion

Codarial Fusion, C-Fusion, is a method which edited Nantean matter (such as Trimeda) can use to attach itself to objects and manipulate them. It is not actually fusion: the matter only coats it. It covers the matter in a very thin layer of itself, which it has complete control over. Using C-fusion, Trimeda coats every vehicle that enters in a layer of itself that it controls. This coating also covers the interiors of the vehicles. Trimeda uses this fusion to power and control vehicles. It simulates the proper movement of the car.

## Counties

Trimeda's counties were created by Filsif Fresnor, the first Governor of Trimeda. The "capitals" and "sub-capitals" of each county are spots where Trimedan Events frequently happen - where Trimeda brings people during Events. The capitals often change location, in accordance with Trimeda changing its Event Spots. The counties were formed due to the need for advanced police presence and activity in Event areas, and to ensure officers are spread somewhat evenly across Trimeda.

Trimedan counties each have their own police force. Unlike Trimeda's militia, which has jurisdiction in every county, each county's officers only have jurisdiction over their home county. County police mainly exist to respond to the one-or-two semi-regular Events that happen in their county, and to temporarily track those who enter Trimeda. There are significantly more officers in counties that border other backstates (especially ones that overlap with Oklahoma) than in other counties. Centre also has a high number of officers.

Tunnels are considered to be part of the counties they connect to.

## History

Trimeda's "brain" was created in 1955 by the US Government in an attempt to create roads using intelligent self-assembling matter made from mathematically altered self-replicating New Nantes clay, in Oklahoma. It worked, but they could not stop it from changing the roads or making new roads. Using differently coded New Nantes clay, the US government managed to move it to Bestings and mostly keep it there.

The main inventor of the clay then used a modified version of it on himself in an attempt to make himself smarter. It failed, instead making him insane and devoted to the protection and expansion of Trimeda. He decided to turn the intelligent road into a backstate, and give it an army/police force. He bought servants from Mesfate in exchange for redirecting a certain amount of roads from the state to Mesfate, and gave them the same clay he gave himself. These slaves (and their children) became the officers of Trimeda.

By early 1956, prior to intervention by Trimedan officers, the state occupied an area in Bestings the size of Rhode Island. Bestings police had managed to mostly contain the entity. An impenetrable partially-underground wall was then installed by the federal government around Besting's "border" with Colorado, New Mexico and Shandle. In the backstates, Trimeda does not actually border those states, but it still prevents more Frontstates from transporting residents to Trimeda as it does with Oklahoma. Soon after, Chaster's slaves constructed Chaster's above-ground wall.

In late 1956, Trimeda declared war on Bestings and New Madrid. Officers helped Trimeda expand into Bestings (and eventually New Madrid), easily beating Besting's poorly-trained and poorly-equipped police. The state continued expansion until Pastor John from Chaster, believing Trimeda to be satanic, commanded hundreds of slaves to fight their expansion and build a wall to contain them. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

In 1958, Philsif Fresnor, inventor of the clay and self-appointed ruler of Trimeda, met with several Chaster/Ronald/federal representatives to discuss a peace treaty. Ronald was worried about how close Trimeda's border had gotten to theirs, and threatened Fresnor with war lest he not cease their expansion. Pastors Joseph, John, Simon and Lazarus added that their slaves would be made to fight alongside Ronald's men. Fresnor, not wanting to go to war with Chaster or Ronald, eventually agreed to stop expansion in exchange for having Trimeda officially admitted as a backstate with him as governor.

## Entrance from the Frontstates

Trimeda can be entered from the Frontstates New Mexico, Colorado and Oklahoma. Certain roads that lead out of New Mexico and Colorado and into Oklahoma are sometimes replaced with roads that go into Trimeda. Oklahomian roads in areas of Oklahoma that overlap with Trimeda sometimes turn into Trimedan roads. It is exceedingly rare for a road to transform. If this happens to you, do not stop your car. Do not try to reverse. They are watching you. All who enter the state are monitored by Trimedan officers for 24 hours upon entry, as are those found by its many patrol cars. You must drive through Trimeda until you cross the border to another state.

It is not recommended that anyone enter into this state. The longest road in the state, that we know of, goes 2.5 years without an exit if you go 100 MPH. If you must risk crossing into Trimeda, be sure to bring lots of food/drink and someone who can switch off driving with you so you do not have to ever stop your car.

## Trivia

* Trimeda knows everything that happens in the state, and may even be capable of reading minds.
* Trimeda does not care about, or help enforce, the state and federal laws that govern it and its citizens.
* Trimeda enjoys creating, decorating, editing and expanding the roads that make them up.
* Honking one time fast, one time slow and one time fast is considered an invitation to trade or talk. Reply with one long honk, one short honk and one long honk if you wish to accept their offer, or three short ones if you wish to decline.
* Many travelling stores and markets, as well as vehicles that give out aid packages, can be found in this state.
