The Conservative Republic of Trenado (Portuguese: República Conservadora de Trenado), usually known as Trenado is a sovereign nation located in South America, constituted as a federation with 9 provinces. The country, with a population of over 39 million civilians, is known for its economic potency, industrial power and diplomatic popularity. From 1974 to 2018, Trenado was part of the Federation of Conservative Nations, but left due to trouble and controversies envolving partisanship and ideological disagreements.
History
Pre-colonial period
Around 23 A.C., the first few indigenous communities in Trenadian territory started to form, including the Brugrenenses, which were fundamental for the country's history after having discovered rich material for trading with other communities (and, later on, with other countries).
The Brugrenenses still are a huge part of the nation's history, by building important monuments and places, even without many resources for that. However, this pre-colonial period didn't last for long, considering it'd end around the 16th century.
Colonial period (1512-1763)
In 1512, following the events of the Great Navigations in America, the Spanish found a territory in the south of what the Portuguese had found, that territory being around the region of current city Ivoti. Taking advantage of the Treaty of Tordesillas, they decided to take over that small southern part of Brazil and made it their colony. With that event, the Brugrenenses were extinct, while very few of them moved to an even southern region that wasn't being invaded yet. As a colony of the Spanish Empire, this was one of the longest phases of Trenadian history, lasting almost exactly 250 years. However, it would end in 1763, when the Trenadians became officially a dominion of the empire.
The Dominion of Trenado (1763-1807)
As a dominion of the Spanish, the region got richer due to the production of raw material such as coffee and sugar, however was also one of the powerhouses for slave-trading not only for them, but also for other European empires to make more money off Trenado. The official flag given had 4 stars, representing the four rulers of the Trenadian colony who passed away between 1512 and 1763. The dominion period is often disregarded on its own, and rather considered a big step forward for the nation to gain its independence. The process of sovereignty started in the early 19th century, being led majorly by Román Bocanegra.
The Trenadian Revolution (3rd May, 1807)
In May, 1807, Román and a group of rebellious soldiers marched for 104 kilometers, from Osório to Porto Alegre to shout an independence chant from the Spanish Empire, and then fire towards the windows of the main Trenadian palace using shotguns.
Prosperidade é o caminho para a vitória! Nos devolvam nossa liberdade, pois não seremos mais escravos de totalitários!
— Román Bocanegra
The former phrase became the motto of the nation, after the Spanish aristocracy knew it'd be dangerous to keep them as a dependent territory, and gave in, consolidating the Trenadian independence, on the night of the 3rd of May. Here starts another chapter in the country's history.
The First Republic (1807-1932)
The First Trenadian Republic would be the first era of the now-independent nation, lasting for over a century. However, over the course of the years, it would not be a definitive form of government and a stable nation. Up to 1828, the government would be republic - with indirect elections - consisting of a president and a prime-minister. After a referendum made in the Trenadian parliament, 64% of the politicians saw the opportunity of solely a president and a vice-president managing the country as a whole, and a completely new constitution would be made. That constitution would later be known as the "Twenty-Eight Constitution".
After a series of elections, yet a fall in economical stability along with a social distrust regarding the new system, current president Lauro Ábrega and the Conservative Party spent 2 years writing a whole new consitution - known as the "Ábrega Constitution" - which was established in 1848. This new series of laws would determine the nation as a parliamentary republic once again, with the Vice-President being set as the Political Manager of Trenado.
The indirect election system would not be affected until 1908, with a social referendum and a presidential act that allowed the population to vote for the next elections optionally, but 4 years later it would become an obligatory act of the people. The change also let go officially of the prime-minister-focused system, having merely a president and a vice-president at the top of the hierarchy once again. The Political Managers would become separate from the vice-president, and be renamed as the Executive Ministers.
In 1932, in response to the Great Depression, current integralist president Roberto Gonzales would organize a political reform, turning the Federative Republic of Trenado into the Integralist Republic of Trenado. There, starts the era of the Second Trenadian Republic.

The Second Trenadian Republic would be the one-party period of the nation, as the Integralist Party took over and the opposition would form political rebellions. The integralist politicians - led by Roberto - were aligned to the falangist ideology, leaning towards nationalism and a state-centered economy. Generally influenced by fascist ideologies yet opposing national socialism due to anti-racist activism, the government reinforced the Trenadian patriotism through sports, art and political discourse.
The national flag was changed, with a sigma (Σ) between the traditional four stars. The greek symbol would become a mark in Trenadian history, and is usually considered a representation of fascism and authoritarianism in the country.
Direct elections were also swapped for indirect voting once again, as the Congress would decide the parliament members, and the President would not leave their role unless they were impeached, passed away or resigned. As a result, Gonzales was the country's leader until 1946.

Etymology
'Trenado', while sounding relatively similar to treinado ('trained' in Portuguese), comes from the Bugrenense language - meaning "three stars" ('tré nado'), possibly related to the Belt of Orion. The word's meaning was eventually carried onto the Trenadian flag design, with an additional star representing the nation's autonomy and strength.
