Etymology

The Trident Union is named after the Trident as an object (a weapon). This is due to the fact that the Trident has three spokes, which represent the three main ideas of the Union: "Freedom, Equality, and Safety for all!" Also, Milgorn once used a Trident welded by a poor villager when he captured the Great Republic's capial parliament, and stuck that Trident into the wall of the Parliament in the front. To this day, it is still wedged in the wall. This all caused people to begin calling the new nation "The Trident Union" due to Mathew Milgorn carrying a Trident for much of the rest of the Union's history. It was made official in the Trident Consitution when the nation was referred to as "The Trident Union". The reason the nation is calld a Union is not because it is a union of provinces, or anything of the like. Rather, it is considered this because it is a union of the people in the nation, who have united to run the Trident Union.

Ancient History

Early Tribes

7500 BCE The first people settled in the Avadian Peninsula and Normerra. Compared to other areas, the Union and it's surrounding nations were settled quite late. This is likely due to the island being so far East, and that it was separated by water. And even then, almost all early people settled in Normerra rather than the peninsula, and it took thousands of years for the tribes to arrive to the southern tip of the Avadian Peninsula. Even then, only a few decided to settle in the Avadian, most staying in Normerra. But all of the tribes on the island flourished and prospered for important reasons. The island was extremely arable, with the tropical climate benefiting greatly to farming. Early crops grown where rice, wheat, and barley, along with multiple tropical fruits and vegetables. The second advantage of the early tribes on the Avadian was the lack of competition, fighting, and foreign relations. Due to the distance between the island and the rest of the world, most of the world didn't visit the island, meaning it's tribes didn't face the same issues other tribes did. Also, this left plenty of land for these tribes to spread and conquer, because of the small number of tribes. That too, most tribes got along, trading resources with each other. All of these contributed to the flourishing of the tribes.

Development's of Early Tribes

5000 BCE to 1600 CE For the next few thousands of years, these tribes all changed. Some rose, some fell. Some prospered, some crumbled. But over thousands of years, tribes began making new technologies and systems and discoveries. For example, large frigates were created, providing the oppurtunity for trading with other nations. The frigates were equipped with gunpoder cannons too, ahead of other western nations. Medicine research advanced, with herbs and mixtures being used to help people with their ailments. Trident fashion was lavish, with large silk dresses and parties. Multiple religions and phillosophies were practiced including Qosa, Buddhism, and Confuciasm. Even early industrial machinery's were invented, with farming equipment. By the turn of 15th century, there were multiple major cities with modern wooden houses that represented Trident architecture. Some include Jegrakjdstown (Modern day Indium), Neliyasm, Aewfuvoi (Off Milgorn Lake), and Opelita (Modern day Ardo).

Unification

1623 to 1894 Finally, in 1623, there were multiple tribes throughout the Avadian. But overall, there were three that held the modern day Trident Union: Indi, Eeryee, and Ardo Empire. Indi was located along much of the West coast of the. Eeryee was a large empire around the Liko Lake, also bordering the Nod Lake. Finally, the Ardo Empire controlled the Ardo River's entire track, mainly the south and part of modern day Pinal Province. These three tribes fought each other for various reasons, but for an unknown reason, they somehow agreed to a convention between the three. This convention, known as Tri-State Unification Convention, was held in Jegrakjdstown, and they eventually agreed to unify all three nations into one larger one, known as "The Great Republic". It was much more of a confederaton or alliance than a nation, since nations were mostly free to do what they wanted. However, over time, it became much more united, until eventually it formed a parliament, and the nation flourished. This was one of the earliest forms of a parliamentary democracy. It began trading for new materials which were used to build up the present day economy of the Union. Seafood and ship constuction became major industries, and rice farming became more industrial and profitable in the lushland region. Unfortunately, change would continue to plague the nation, and a once flourishing "Great Republic" would fall to these negative changes.

Transformation

1903 By the turn of the 20th century, things were changing in the Great Republic. The earlier parliament would make decisions to support the Republic, which improved life overall. The economy of the nation had risen, infrastructure was improved, and in general life was better. However, private corporations were rising, and the largest flaw of the Republic was that their were no limitation's on these monopolies. Soon, they began putting profit before consumer to such an extent that they began an extreme lobbying campaign in parliament. In just a few years, all of the legislators were corrupted, with them putting themselves before the entire nation. They began making massive tax breaks for these corporations, and providing other beneifts that would only help them while harming the people with heavier taxes. This extended the prevelant issue of the rich-poor divide, causing a very small number of people to control most of the money and thus the entire nation through lobbyiung. Meanwhile, the majority were much poorer, many struggling to get by. Combiend with a corrupt parliament, the situation deteriotared quickly in the Great Republic.

Revolution Ages

Milgorn Group

1924 By the year of 1924, the Great Republic's Parliament committed gerrymandering and was lobbyed endlessly by corporations. Elections were rigged to make it where whoever these corporations would be in power to maintain their position. Meanwhile, Mathew Milgorn was born in 1905 in the city of Indium. Born to a rare middle class family, the Milgorn's were not rich, but also not extremely poor. However, they faced many of the diffculties that faced the middle class of the Great Republic, including corporations lowering their wages and stealing jobs. By the time he was thirteen, Mathrew Milgorn was an avid protester, frequently giving powerful speeches at such a young age. When he graduated high school, he was set to go to the esteemed Norbata University. However, he held a student protest in 1925, causing him to be arrested by the Great Commune, despite it being peaceful. He was kicked out of university, and spent lots of time doing menial jobs in Indium, promoting his cause. However, he found lots of similar thinking people, who believed in similar ideals. These people would listent to his powerful speech. By 1928, Milgorn had attracted over one hundred followers, all of which believed in equailtity and freedom for all. The Great Republic had also changed, becoming a government which cracked down on it's opposers and which was essentially controlled by corporations. At the time, "The Milgorn Group" was considered radical and extremist. However, hundreds of people were attracted to his cause. But in 1938, Milgorn was put into prison for a treason, along with multiple other Milgorn Group membes. His arrest was national headlines, and many people were appalled at the lack of justice. Despite attempts to suppress this, it would play a major role in fueling a different group: The Velvet's.

Velvet Revolt

1937 On June 7th, 1937 a group of people wearing a red hat planted improvised explosives in multiple location of the city, primarily government offices. Then, one by one, they exploded them. Within minutes, the Great Republic went under martial law, with soldiers charging into the streets. Meanwhile, members of the velvet millitia and normal citizens alike fought them, using IED's and small arms. Fighting, explosions, and violence continued through the next three months, with over twelve thousand dying. The Great Republic sturggled to the get the nation under control, but eventually, they managed to. The revolt had been a failure. Instead of toppling the Republic, it made life worse. The Great Republic arrested and killed any person suspiscous of going against the Republic. Trials were not held, and if they were, they were extremely unfair. Freedoms and rights were suppressed, and businesses were closed down as major monopolies thrived. But in all of the chaos of the Velvet Revolt, Mathew Milgorn was released after his prison sentence had ended. While the group had essentially gone inactive, Milgorn began a rapid revival, attracting the former members and more to join. By 1943, the group had grown to over ten thousand members. They all would be activated at certain times, to conduct various activites. The most important change was the change between peaceful fighting to violent fighting. It was necessary, which meant the group became the Milgorn United Millitia. By the time the year 1945 rolled around, a large boat disguised as a fishing boat was constructed where the group's higher-up's met and discussed plans. They conducted prison breaks, attacks on corporations, and more. However, Milgorn had something bigger in mind ever since he had been improsined. And after decades of preperation, training, recruitment, practice, and arming, they were finally ready.

Trident Revolution

1955 On June 5th 1955, exactly 18 years after the Velvet Revolution, all of the Trident Group's 15,000 members marched to Swashya, the capital city of the Republic on the shores of the Liko Lake. They protested in front of the Capital, inspiring others to join in. The millitary was called in, but the Milgorn United Millitia was peaceful. But they knew that they'd eventually start shooting, and the millitia would start fighting. Hopefully, this would show that the Great Republic had to be taken down, and others would join. In the protest, thousands upon thousands of people joined, filling the streets in the largest protest in the histoy of the region. Finally, on June 8th, after three days, the orders were given. The millitary began shooting, and the millitia, prepared, used heavy weaponry to fight back. It was a massive shock for the five thousand soldies, completely outnumered and outgunned by this millitia. Many either retreated, surrendered, or joined the millitia as they fought. Most of the others ran, but many would join later on with their own weapons. Meanwhile, the millitia used guerilla warfare tactics to fight the Republic, hiding in nearby buildings. Reinforcements were called in, but until then, the capital building was unarmed. The parliament, in a session, was trapped on all sides, and the millitia breached the building. Mathew Milgorn led the way, taking part in the battle, giving commands, and so much more. He lead his elite division through the halls of the parliament, trashing it along the way to show what would happen to the Great Republic. They barged into the parliament, and immediately captured the parliament members. However, by this moment the army had arrived. The remaining members of the Milgorn Millitia that were outside went into hiding spots, meaning that the entire army was fooled into thinking the remaining millitia was inside the parliament. Still under the guise they needed to save the parliamentarians, and quickly entered the Parliament building. As the army had been arriving, the elite regiment had placed explosives at the entrance of the Parliament, a wing of the large building. This meant that when the army was preparing to attack the regiment, they were inside of this building.
