Culture:[/b]
Trinis is rich with culture. In most areas in Trinis you can attend some sort of concert, play, festival, or other event. Trinsians are especially proud of their classical composers and the two 'Golden Ages' of music. Trinsians are tolerant of all, except two groups may be looked as different, although treatment will be no different. Same-sex couples that "show it” may receive funny looks by some, but there would be no more close-minded comments that other countries. Recreational drugs are illegal, as the vast majority of Trinsians don't want them. If you make it known you use recreational drugs (in your own country, of course) most people might remark something about "fogging the mind" and nothing else. Hearty meals of meat and potatoes are common in most of Trinis, but vegetarian meals are being introduced in lots of restaurants. English is sppken by almost all.

Most of Trinis has a temperate climate, with snow in the winter and temperatures reaching the high seventies in the summer. The northern mountain ranges are much colder. The warmest place in Trinis is the southeastern province of Tieran, a popular vacation spot with wonderful beaches.
[size=14]History
Trinis banded together when Polish, Russian, Latvian, and other Eastern-European peoples, and Scot-Irish immigrants, settled in this northern-central European country. A democratic government was formed, which lasted for 500 years, when external and some internal forces tore apart the country, creating a dictatorship. After 115 years of rebellion, the dictatorship was overthrown, and another democratic government was formed. During the 15th year of this government, Yuri Oleg Gregov Pishkin, was elected as a vice chancellor. Five years later, as reelection was coming up, the country was shocked as communist band of fighters attacked the capital, killing 528. Pishkin admitted leaking information, and he then disappered, and the communist fighters were quiet, until 1919, when a large army seized Trinis in a bloody war. Tired of oppresion, the Trinsians rebelled for years. In 1940, Edmund Laskin led the first nationally-unified army aginst the government. In 1946, Trinis gained independece. Laskin became the first president of the Republic, which he served superbly, as did his son, President Michaswai Laskin.
