This is probably the most complicated RP project I’ve ever planned.
The SRT’s backstory (as well as the ineffective First Republic government) is very complicated, and I plan on splitting it into separate chunks, with each having their own thread.
Basically, Tretrid used to be a monarchy, but the king died, and his eldest son was put on the throne. Then his younger brother, Froemeous II (Yes, ridiculous name), assassinated him, and got into power, Anyway, people started protesting against him (just the king, not the government), but then the king called the military on them. Long story short, the protestors decided to overthrow the government and create a republic, and did so.
There is no way to change the eventual outcome. But other nations can involve themselves. Planning is needed beforehand, which is why this thread is here.
