| '''Trinity Island''' ([[Wikipedia:en:Help:IPA/English|ˈtrɪnəti ˈaɪlənd]]), officially the '''Commonwealth of Trinity Island''', is a constituent state in [[Federal States|Southeastern Federal States]]. It is one of the smallest FSA state by area, with an area of 4101.76 sq mi (10623.51 km<sup><small>2</small></sup>), and also one of the least populous, with about 1.4 million inhabitants as of 2020. The state is named after the eponymous island, which constitutes a large part of its territory. Trinity Island borders on the [[Ardentic Ocean]] to the east, [[Passamaqueets]] and [[Thermond]] to the north, [[Astrantia]] to the west, [[Perchorsee Isles Nature Reserve]] and the [[Perchorsee Bay]] to the south. [[Worthington]] is the state capital and most populous city.

| == Etymology ==
| | If I could live anywhere in the OGF world maybe it would be this town south of Darsons in the FSA. |
| The state is named after [[Trinity Island#Geography|Atwick Island]], called in Colonial times as ''Trinity Island''. The most widespread version of the origin of the name. The name is attributed to <u>Charles Quentins</u>, one of the first bishops of the [[Federal States]], who argued that the name arose after having survived a terrible storm on the high seas and having miraculously arrived on the island. <u>Andrew Fletcher</u>, captain of the Atwick, attributed his arrival to the island to the prayer to the [[Wikipedia:en:Holy Trinity|Holy Trinity]] that the religious group (led by Quentins) made a few moments ago, and therefore gave the island and the subsequent colony that name. The name was made official by [[Ingerland]] for the entire colony shortly after.
| |
|
| |
|
| The name remained in use for the state after the independence of [[Ingerland]], and it was also approved to name the main island as ''Atwick Island'' to differentiate it from the state.

| Trinity Island is one of the smallest states in the [[Federal States]]. It is located in the [[Federal States|Southeast Region]] of the country and has an area of 4,102 sq mi (10,624 km<sup><small>2</small></sup>). Several bays distinctly shape its coast. [[Worthington]] is the largest city, at the middle of the [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=10/-42.2138/161.4098&layers=B Atwick Sound] and the mouth of the [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=14/-42.3384/161.1545&layers=B Green River].
| |
| | |
| Despite its small size, Trinity Island features numerous [[Wikipedia:en:Topography|topographically]] distinctive regions. The '''''Insular Trinity Island''''' is composed of the 3 major islands of the state (<u>Atwick</u>, <u>St. Mary</u> and <u>Holy Island</u>) and other adjacent small [[Wikipedia:en:Island|islands]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Islets|islets]]. The large [[Wikipedia:en:Coastal plain|coastal plain]] of the [[Ardentic Ocean]] and the Perchorsee Bay, known as '''''Coastal Trinity Island''''', contains the major cities of the state (excluding [[New Atwick]]): [[Worthington]], [[Port Eleanor]] and [[Wearhead]]. Most of the remaining zones are divided into two regions: the '''''Autumn River Valley''''' and the '''''Foryoke River Valley''''', whose limit is bounded by the former [[Worthing County|Worthing]] and [[Wandsport County|Wandsport counties]] border. Along the border with [[Thermond]] and a section with [[Passamaqueets]] is the '''''Norottuck''''' region, which includes the highest points in the state and the Trinity Island's section of [[Norottuck Watershed]].

| [[File:Counties of Trinity Island.svg|250px|thumb|Map of the 3 [[wikipedia:en:County|counties]] of Trinity Island.]]
| |
| There are [[List of municipalities in Trinity Island|61 municipalities]] in Trinity Island, grouped into 3 [[Wikipedia:en:County|counties]]. The three counties, moving from west to east, are [[Wandsport County|Wandsport]], [[Worthing County|Worthing]] and [[Atwick County|Atwick]]. Trinity Island has no [[Wikipedia:en:Local government|county governments]], same as other [[Federal States|Southeast Region]] states; instead, [[Wikipedia:en:Municipality|municipalities]] hold many of the responsibilities and powers of local government. Trinity Island county governments were abolished by the [[Trinity Island#Legislative branch|state legislature]] in 1964. The three counties are still used only for purely [[Wikipedia:en:Geography|geographical]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Statistics|statistical]] purposes. There are three non-permanent [[Trinity Island#Local government|councils of government]] in which the leaders of [[List of municipalities in Trinity Island|all municipalities]] of the former three counties meet to discuss [[Wikipedia:en:Emergency management|emergency measures]], collective [[Wikipedia:en:Security threat|security threats]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Public works|works]] between [[Wikipedia:en:Municipality|municipalities]].
| |
| | |
| Of the 61 municipalities of the state, [[List of municipalities in Trinity Island#Atwick County|13]] are from [[Atwick County]], [[List of municipalities in Trinity Island#Worthing County|24]] from [[Worthing County]] and also [[List of municipalities in Trinity Island#Wandsport County|24]] from [[Wandsport County]]. They are the fundamental political entities of the state. All the 49 municipalities named as [[Wikipedia:en:Town|towns]] have a [[Wikipedia:en:Town meeting|town meeting]] system, while the remaining 12 municipalities named as [[Wikipedia:en:City|cities]] ([[New Atwick]], [[Worthington]], <u>Earkers</u>, [[Port Eleanor]], <u>Greenboro</u>, <u>Stoneham</u>, <u>Islington</u>, <u>Rockland</u>, <u>Autumn River</u>, <u>Saint Anne</u>, <u>Waltmore</u> and [[Wearhead]]) have a [[Wikipedia:en:Mayor-council government|mayor-council government]], in which the city is leaded by an elected [[Wikipedia:en:Mayor|mayor]].
| |
| | |
| The [[Wikipedia:en:Town meeting|town meeting]] is the system of government used by all the towns in the state according to the <u>state constitution</u>, in which most or all of the members of a community come together to legislate policy and budgets for local government. The [[Wikipedia:en:Mayor-council government|mayor-council government]] is the system used by all the cities in the state, where there is an executive mayor and a [[Wikipedia:en:City council|city council]] which are elected by the voters.
