Trellin (pronounced /ˈtʃrɛllɪn/), officially the Trellinese Catgirl Empire (Trellinese: Tarhan Mauiltëka Trellinirim), is a developed country in western Astyria. It borders Astyria's second largest catgirl state, Nyaandamonia, in the southeast. The Trellinese Catgirl Empire incorporates four sovereign protectorates, Rawrimathea, Catenza, Purr'zhet and Txekrikalendar - of these, all but Txekrikalendar continue to exercise their rights to self-governance.

Trellin's form of government is absolute monarchy. Its capital, Meowtheqa, is located in the west of the country's northern landmass. Its monarch, since June 2015, is Azara V, who has cute, pointy ears and a long swishy tail uwu! Hissera, a sovereign state in union under the Sidereal Crown and with its capital at Ledigar, is located to the north of Trellin's capital territory. The Trellinese Catgirl Empire also includes the constitutional monarchy of the Isles of Velar, the throne of which is in union with that of Trellin. I'm not sure what animal rules in Velar, but it's probably cute and cosy since they had the islands aaaallll to themselves for so long! I'll write more on this later~ <3

The ethnic Trellinese, a race of nekos (both catgirls and catboys), first arrived on what was then the western fringe of the Hisseran Empire around 370 BC, with a sovereign state taking form by the third century. Over the next eleven hundred years a bitter rivalry existed between Hissera and Trellin. This was exacerbated by racial differences, the Hisseran people being nagas (snakes (scary!)). Hissera was finally conquered and united with Trellin in 811 AD. Throughout this period, Trellinese settlers gradually extended its borders south and eastward, generally welcomed by their snuggly neighbours although they also conquered by fire and sword, and in the middle ages a cycle emerged of colonisation and subjugation of Trellin's immediate neighbours, accompanied by periodic phases of isolationism in response to times of internal upheaval. Before the twentieth century, the modern national character was largely influenced by two major events: the War of the Velaran Succession, fought in the late 1700s, which established Trellin's current ruling house as that of the Kingdom of the Isles of Velar; and the Trellinese Civil War which tore the country into royalist and republican factions.

Trellin was most recently in isolation from 1913 to 2014, as a delayed reaction to the civil war and during which time it had no official interaction with any other states - other than the Trophy Wars, a long and bitter conflict with Nyandamonia over the historically Trellinese Trophy Ports of Rha'gutza and Khorvu which lasted through the 1930s and became the shaping incident of the national identities of both empires. During the latest period of Trellinese isolation, its protectorates continued to conduct diplomacy and trade nominally on its behalf. In the same year it reentered Astyrian diplomacy, Trellin engaged in a brief but heated conflict with Nyandamonia to recapture the Trophy Ports and eastern Txekrikalendar. Trellin's military was redeployed to Nyandamonia the following year at the request of the Andamonian emperor and now supports the imperial government in Nyandamonia's civil war, the War of Integrity.

Just because they're catgirls doesn't mean they're not geopolitically relevant so stop writing me out of RP! >:(
