A Little Piece of Serenity
The Principality of Triprism is made up of two islands and a rather large peninsula on the Continent of Salutant, much of which is not developed. The Peninsula, called Literati, and the two islands -- respectively called Dictu and Visu, form somewhat of a triangle, with Literati on the West and the Islands bordering it on the east. Visu, the southernmost and therefore warmest area of Triprism, is connected to Literati by bridge, and Visu is then, in turn, attached to Dictu via bridge. This system is collectively called the Trans Mare System, concieved in 1958 but only recently put into place. The several million residents of Triprism use this System everyday, and it is the backbone of the island system. The Government is very liberal, and crime is considerably low. Triprism is a jewel in the eye of the ocean, and we hope to see you soon.
A Brief History
Government
Triprism is declared a principality but is a Republic at heart. In the 88 years that the national Executive position has been in existence, all but one of them -- President Marcus Innis (least popular Triprism president ever) -- has been a liberal politian in at least one sense of the word, and Triprism residents enjoy very free civil liberties as a result. The government is divided simply, with a body of 24 Legislators representing each of Triprism's 12 States (essentially large counties) called the Midhouse, and the Executive offices making up the Upperhouse. The govermental heirarchy goes as such: President > Underpresident > Midhouse Majority Leader > Secretary of Affairs > Secretary of Relations > Secretary of Defense > Grand Judge > Secretary of Economics
Division of National Affairs
A broad Division, headed by Secretary (I) Julian Prudence, the Division of National Affairs essentially deals with all issues within the nation. The DoNA is also responsible for proposing bills to the midhouse.
Division of International Affairs
Headed by Secretary (D) Allen Amherst, it is responsible for all International Relations. This includes the military.
Division of Justice and Courts
Presiding over the Grand Count of the DoJ&C is Judge George Burr. The people elect the Grand Judge, rather than he being appointed. The DoJ&C also regulates all minor courts in the nation.
Division of Economics
Led by Secretary (Lib) Manuel Newberry, the Division of Economics manages Triprism's budget and all other economical situations.

The United Nations
Triprism is currently in the process of application to the United Nations. Once admitted, this section will contain voting records and more.
Military
Triprism has a $227,462,400 (US), which equates to t142,164,000 tri. Triprism has long been a peaceful nation, never involved in any wars, and it's military forces are relatively small. However, in this time of global unrest and war, many changes are being made that will alter this. Recently, the Midhouse narrowly passed a bill authorising the design and construction of two 'Mug-Class' Naval Battlecruisers. Also, Triprism has put in a bid to purchase 24 F-16's over the next three years, out of which will be formed the proposed #001 Whitecap Air Defense Squadron. The 001st will be stationed at Triprism's sole airport, (due up for expansion) Hallow International. Military service is voluntary in Triprism, but a healthy reservist force of 100,000 (and growing) exists in the nation. Armed with many Nova (equal of the US M1A2 Abrams) Tanks and a respectable fleet of Whirlwind-Class transport helecopters, the reservist are ready to deploy for defensive purposes should the need arise.
