The Kingdom of Trjebia, also known as the Former Kingdom of Trjebia (FKT) in international relations due to the Trjebian dispute, but self-referred to as Trjebia, is a Nelborne country in northwestern Europe. Bordering Alquiya to the south and Seketan to the north and east, the Kingdom of Trjebia is situated on the western shore of Nelbecia. The country is a city-state, with over 95% of its land urbanised. Trjebia's population is 423,886 (2016) most of whom live in urban areas. The country's climate is temperate for the Nelborne islands, with warmer winters and summers then the rest of the islands due to the Treb Bay helping bring in warm air. The country is the most densely populated in the Nelborn Islands, with the capital Dremem being a centre of gambling, commerce, financial services, and shipping for the Nelborne Islands.

The history of Trjebia dates back to the early neolithic period, with the earliest humans to Nelbecia settling around the Treb Bay and its warm fertile hinterlands in central Nelbecia. Over thousands of years these peoples would coeles themselves into clans know as the Thirteen Kingdoms. In 1092 these kingdoms unified into a loose confederation with the kingdom of Jorghe and its king Eridh I being crowned the first King of the Trebs. During the subsequent centuries, the confederation would find itself routinely at war with the neighbouring Kingdom of Seketan, Kingdom of Alquiya, and later Nelbec Empire. These wars would cause Trjebia to gradually lose control over central Nelbecia and by 1895 all but the capital city of Dremem was annexed in the partitions of Trjebia. The 20th century saw Trjebia adopt a policy of neutrality, staying out of WWI and the Nelborne War, and thus came into the mid century relatively untouched.

Starting in the 1960's, Trjebia became a tax-haven and attracted many European and American companies to invest in Trjebian financial institutions like Trebbank and Jorghe Bank., skyrocketing the economy into being one of the richest in the world. Coinciding with this, in 1974 the Legislative Assembly legalised gambling leading to a boom in the casino and entertainment industry, making it often known as the "Las Vegas of Nelborne". Today Trjebia is a member of the UN, WTO, Council of Europe, and the Partnership for Peace.

Etymology

The term Trjebia is an anglicised version Dhredhri meaning "godly kingdom" in Trjebian. Only translations of Trjebia include the prefix "Kingdom of or "Former Kingdom of , in Trjebian the full name is just Dhredhri. In Alquiyan Trjebian the nation is known asPkoty Treiau Treh' though it is pronounced virtually the same.

Kingdom of vs Former Kingdom of

Main article: Trjebian Dispute

Currently there is an international dispute over the prefix of Trjebia. The official English name is the Kingdom of Trjebia, but this is only recognized internationally by Seketan. In international diplomacy the nation is referred to as the Former Kingdom of Trjebia largely due to the objections by Alquiya, who claim that they hold equal claim to the continuation of the historical Kingdom of Trjebia.

History

Prehistory

Human first arrived in what is now known as the Treb Bay during the early Neolithic era, settling around the basin in central Nelbecia. Part of the first wave of human migration, Trjebian culture developed uniquly from the rest of the Nelborne cultures, though due to lack of writing it is unclear where their culture originated from. These people, known as Proto-Trebs, would eventually intermix with Proto-Nelbecs during their migration south and form Trjebian and Alquiyan culture.

Early states started to form in the 4th century centered around local towns. This is argued by scholars to be the start of Trjebia's complex clan system.

Notes

1.^ Only Seketan and Trjebia itself recognize the name "Kingdom of Trjebia". Due to the Trjebian dispute, the nation goes by Former Kingdom of Trjebia
