Trevona

The Grand Duchy of Trevona, is a major nation in southern Euresta. It is the most powerful of the City states of Sola, and the 11th and lowest nation in the Top League. Its main land area is found on the north coast of the Sea of Oridon, though it also holds many ports and territories down the rest of the coast. The Duchy is known for being the trade capital of the world. It is said that 30% of all the trade in Empirical leads back to Trevona at some point. In order to protect its huge network and wealth, Trevona holds the largest naval fleet of any faction outside of Rokov, Anfara and Oslen, its navy being even more powerful than Guardire's, a nation with more than 4 times the player count. This is a mighty achievement on its own, but more impressive is what Trevona has done with this trade dominance. The Grand Duchy is one of the wealthiest factions in the game and has the second highest GDP per capita. This is after Montsoirre, who it holds a long standing alliance and friendship with.

Geopolitics
Trevona obviously holds a lot of great deal of power on the world stage with its huge wealth and central position to the world economy. It was Trevona who organised the mercenary forces to defend Ronil from Anfaran invasion with the support of Montsoirre and Rondheim. The Anfaran Empire has never forgiven the duchy, and sees it as its main rival in the south of the the Euresta World Map. Its fleet also commands huge respect and fear from many nations on the Megridian Coast. Trevona, like Montsoirre stays mostly neutral to the power plays between Guardire and Rokov.

History
Trevona has a quiet history of steady growth from Venice inspired city state to the world power it is today. Trevona's success has mainly come from its reluctance to get involved with geopolitics, only getting in a major conflict when protecting its own interests, such as in the case of the defence of Ronil. This neutrality has served it well until now. The Trevonan Navy was the first force to successfully defeat a Dreadnaught class destroyer; a Anfaran vessel that strayed too close to Trevona City. A fleet of 100 Ships of the Line were deployed and the giant ship was surrounded and taken by boarding party.
