The Ciloven Accord was an attempt international settlement negotiated in 1994 between the Republic of Alquiya and the Kingdom of Trjebia (also known as the Former Kingdom of Trjebia or FKT) to deal with the status of Trjebia and the Trjebian dispute. The accord was drafted at the Cloven Summit in Ciloven, Seketan, with the Seketese government acting as mediator. The agreement included a timeline on integrating the FKT and Southern Trjebia economically and diplomatically, as well as settling the naming dispute between the two.
Upon the agreements release it was met with large backlash from both countries. In Alquiya, the Southern Trjebian states of Lower Trjebia and Upper Trjebia protested the agreement due to its perception as an attempt to annex the staunchly republican territories into the royalist Kingdom. Some more radical local leaders like Sebastian Po and Michael Kam aquated the deal to a "cultural massacre" of Southern Trjebia's unique culture and way of life, and would eventually form the Trjebian Rights Association (TRA) as a Southern Trjebian rights party. In the 1995 election Prime Minister Markcus Revoloc, who had negotiated the agreement, lost re-election to the right wing NUAR, with the TRA winning virtually all the seats in Southern Trjebia. In the FKT the deal was met with more support, with negotiating Prime Minister Ricard Bhe successfully getting the legislature to ratify the agreement by a large margin and a plebiscite passing 55%-45%. However the royal family and King Henri IV, who still hold considerable power, refused to sign the accord due to its demotion of their titles and the recognition of the republican Southern Trjebia's as a distinct group.
The agreement would fail to get ratified by both nations and thus would never be fully enacted. The Southern Trjebian nationalism movement and the TRA would eventually form government in both Lower Trjebia and Upper Trjebia in 1995 and 1996 respectively. In the FKT, polarisation on the monarchies opposition to the agreement would lead to the rise of the pro-monarchist Thirteen Kingdoms Party and the republican Left-Green Alliance, along with the decline of Ricard Bhe's United Trjebia Society.
