Trinity Island (ˈtrɪnəti ˈaɪlənd), officially the Commonwealth of Trinity Island, is a constituent state in Southeastern Federal States. It is one of the smallest FSA state by area, with an area of 4101.76 sq mi (10623.51 km²), 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

The state is named after Atwick Island, called in Colonial times as Trinity Island. The most widespread version of the origin of the name. The name is attributed to Charles Quentins, 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. Andrew Fletcher, captain of the Atwick, attributed his arrival to the island to the prayer to the 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.

Geography

Trinity Island is one of the smallest states in the Federal States. It is located in the Southeast Region of the country and has an area of 4,102 sq mi (10,624 km²). Several bays distinctly shape its coast. Worthington is the largest city, at the middle of the Atwick Sound and the mouth of the Green River.

Despite its small size, Trinity Island features numerous topographically distinctive regions. The Insular Trinity Island is composed of the 3 major islands of the state (Atwick, St. Mary and Holy Island) and other adjacent small islands and islets. The large 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 and 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.

Administrative divisions

Map of the 3 counties of Trinity Island.

There are 61 municipalities in Trinity Island, grouped into 3 counties. The three counties, moving from west to east, are Wandsport, Worthing and Atwick. Trinity Island has no county governments, same as other Southeast Region states; instead, municipalities hold many of the responsibilities and powers of local government. Trinity Island county governments were abolished by the state legislature in 1964. The three counties are still used only for purely geographical and statistical purposes. There are three non-permanent councils of government in which the leaders of all municipalities of the former three counties meet to discuss emergency measures, collective security threats and works between municipalities.

Of the 61 municipalities of the state, 13 are from Atwick County, 24 from Worthing County and also 24 from Wandsport County. They are the fundamental political entities of the state. All the 49 municipalities named as towns have a town meeting system, while the remaining 12 municipalities named as cities (New Atwick, Worthington, Earkers, Port Eleanor, Greenboro, Stoneham, Islington, Rockland, Autumn River, Saint Anne, Waltmore and Wearhead) have a mayor-council government, in which the city is leaded by an elected mayor.

The town meeting is the system of government used by all the towns in the state according to the state constitution, in which most or all of the members of a community come together to legislate policy and budgets for local government. The mayor-council government is the system used by all the cities in the state, where there is an executive mayor and a city council which are elected by the voters.
