Federation War

== About ==
The Federation War (aka. War on the Sea, Federacijos Karas) was a 2 year long war fought between the Republic of Bistonia and the St. Ark Federation from Rodney Faron Lenn's declaration of war on May 18th 1974 to St. Ark's surrender and ultimate defeat with the signing of the Treaty of New Shingleton on June 12th 1976. It was one of the first wars which were fought on mainland Bistonia since Bistonia's independence in the year of 1960, and was a conflict which had a smaller scale compared to the Crimsonian-Bistonian War. Despite minimal casualties, the Federation War was still a devastating blow to the Republic of Bistonia after the war, as most of Southern Bistonia's infrastructure had been damaged following their liberation, and problems would soon arise following the end of the Federation War, weakening the Bistonian government and rotting it to the core, subsequently leading to the beginning of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War 11 years later. 
== Prelude to the Federation War ==
Before the 1974 invasion of Bistonia occured, the Republic of Bistonia and the St. Ark Federation both had good relations and together built an underwater metro tunnel system connected to eachother, both had high GDP, surplus economies and equal rights and democratic elections, until in the early 70s the St. Ark Federation was in a heavy state of decline and relations soured between the two,
Because of the deterioration of relations between the two, the Republic of Bistonia launched ineffective sanctions and immediately stopped any trading going further to the St. Ark Federation, and depleted the federation of any oil and resources from the Bistonian Sea.
Due to the weakened and vegetative state of the St. Ark Federation, it desperately attempts to invade Bistonia to dominate the Bistonian Sea and Southern Bistonia, and the sanctions became a justification and act of war.
== Reparation ==
In February 3rd 1974, Federation battleships were spotted and found building up on the Southern Bistonian Sea, and was mentioned in Kriadavia Radio before it ceased operations, this did not worry the public and their opinions as they assume it to be a military drill, and not an all out war, while civillians in the scattered islands were worried an all out war would break out, as they would completely destroy the main source for the villages,
Bistonia's navy was alerted about the incident, and began monitoring the so called military drill and begin to also build up their presence in the Bistonian Sea, and sending direct signal messages to the battleships that have crossed into the boundaries of Bistonia.
The St. Ark Federation denies any so called invasion and responded that it is a military drill and that there is no suspicion about the situation, and don't cause any harm.
== Attempts to Avoid War with the St. Ark Federation ==
In a secret meeting with diplomats and the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, they mentioned about declaring war on Bistonia, although the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations condemned this and responded that there will be another situation instead of resorting to war.
The United States of Megaton and Columbia also sent diplomats to negotiate with the St. Ark Federation for them to avoid the war and will cause more damage and lives lost, but the St. Ark government refuses to negotiate and ignores the warnings and consequences of the war.
== Goals of War ==
The St. Ark Federation's goals of the war against Bistonia and their achievements were to take over the Bistonian Sea and seize it's resources, and annex the catholic majority South Bistonia and incorporate it as a province within the St. Ark Federation.
The St. Ark Federation's goals in the Federation War were not achieved, as the St. Ark Navy wasn't capable of maintaining such a massive sea and instantly collapsed once 3 battleships were sunk during the end of the Federation War, and the St. Ark Federation Armed Forces were defeated and pushed out of South Bistonia, leaving everything including genocide and several important military equipment, and all of St. Ark Federations goals were not achieved.
Bistonia's goals of the war were similar to the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, they will try and attempt to defend Bistonia from ground invasion, and convince the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to intervene and set up a naval blockade to prevent the St. Ark Navy from expanding their presence through the sea.
Bistonia's goals in the Federation War were not achieved, as major flaws in the plan to defend Bistonia from ground invasion caused its failure, as they did not manage to defend the rest of the coastal areas, leaving South Bistonia vulnerable to ground invasion, Bistonia failed to convince the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to set up a naval blockade to prevent the St. Ark Federation's navy from moving north of the Bistonian Sea, and in response CUFN announced that it would be neutral during the war.
== Defending Force ==
The number of army personnel in the Bistonian Armed Forces before the war was uncertain even before the Crimsonian-Bistonian War which happened 13 years later, but it was believed to be well equipped decent enough to defend against the ground invasion, the Bistonian Armed Forces was estimated to be around 850,000 troops.
Nobody knew how many personnel were in the divisions of the Bistonian military including the Bistonian Navy, the Bistonian Air Force, and their Air Defense until after the Federation War.
In addition, the unionist group in occupied Bistonian Shingleton controlled mountain areas of Bistonian Shingleton in an area outside of the Federation's control, during and after the invasion the unionist group had over 3000 fighters.
== Invasion ==
On May 18th 1974, the Federation War or War on The Sea began when the St. Ark Federation finally declared war on the Republic of Bistonia, and after 1 hour of the declaration of war, Federation ships started to occupy the nearby scattered islands and quickly took over the Bistonian Sea, leaving only east of the sea left defended by the Bistonian Navy,
The Bistonian Navy handled the situation well and defended Bistonia from any ground invasion, but due to it being surrounded, it left the Bistonian Shingleton corridor undefended, Federation ships began filling into the gap, and landed in Bistonian Shingleton, thus began the ground invasion.
Bistonian troops were sent to the island to push them out of the island, but the troops were outnumbered completely and were forced to retreat out of the island, Bistonian Shingleton came under the Federation's control, which sparked outrage throughout the island and began resisting against occupation, while some demand that they come under the Federation's rule.
Major towns and cities nearby Bistonian Shingleton were heavily bombed by Federation airforces and were scorched by troops, and began massacring unarmed civillians and commiting crimes against humanity, although reports of genocide weren't leaked until in 1978.
== Operation West Bistonia ==
After the ground invasion commenced by the St. Ark Federation, plans to advance and secure West Bistonia began with Operation West Bistonia, an operation began by the St. Ark Armed Forces aimed to advance quickly into deep Bistonian territory, and seize West Bistonia, using it as an opportunity to capture the rest of Southern Bistonia.
However this wasn't planned, as the St. Ark Armed Forces were starting to capture key cities on the coast and not prepared to capture territories required for the operation to be commenced, and the St. Ark Armed Forces weren't capable of commencing such a massive operation, because of the flaws of the operation, it was not commenced until July 15th 1974.
The Federation War stretched into 2 months, the St. Ark Federation was making success on the South Bistonian frontlines while the Bistonian Army was trying their best to fight on the frontline, Operation West Bistonia was commenced in July 15th, 1974, with several divisions, the St. Ark Federation rushed and pushed out Bistonian troops from the South Bistonia front in the west, and faced fierce fighting and stiff resistance, and managed to secure parts of Southwest Bistonia, but failed to break through the defense lines up north.
Operation West Bistonia was both a success and a failure, mainly a success due to the Federation's ability to advance deep into Bistonian territory, and mainly a failure as they only controlled a portion of West Bistonia, and that they also left the Bistonian troops to quickly set up defense up north, and forced SAAF into a stalemate.
== Operation Moneta ==
As the Federation War stretched into 1975, BAF and SAAF troops were slowly getting exhausted, the St. Ark Federation, after the success of Operation West Bistonia, planned for a second operation, one that would be the final blow to the Bistonian Armed Forces, and attempt to get them to surrender, and capture the main and second largest city in Bistonia, Mazoji, which was heavily defended by the BAF, and was a risky operation.
The operation was commenced on April 9th 1975, as SAAF heavily fought through the defenses and capture the main highways into the city, facing heavy losses and hundreds of army personnel died on their way to the city, and after 2 days of fierce fighting from the BAF troops, Bistonia retreated from the city of Mazoji, leaving only it's civillians resist against the SAAF invasion, and SAAF arrived to the city of Mazoji, and attacked downtown Mazoji with heavy resistance from the civillian population.
Operation Moneta was a successful operation, and pushed Bistonian troops from the city, which devastated Bistonia in the Federation War, however due to guerilla resistance, SAAF did not manage to fully stabilize the unrest within the city, and Bistonia refused to surrender to the St. Ark Federation.
== Battle of the Bistonian Sea ==
The Battle of the Bistonian Sea began months after Operation Moneta, between the Bistonian Navy and the St. Ark Navy, it started from a heavy clash in the seas around Bistonian-Shingleton and turned into a massive battle, which devastated the St. Ark Navy and nearly collapsed and their presence completely lost from the Bistonian Sea, 5 St. Ark ships were sunk except Battleship Torpetta, given to by Crimsonia as attempts to establish diplomatic relations, and in 1975 near the Steven Ogg International Airport, was shot by a torpedo, and partially sunk, and the crew left everything behind.
The Bistonian Navy was monitoring the situation after Operation Moneta, seeing devastation after the operation and continous scorching of coastal villages and cities, things were going well until the St. Ark Navy spotted them on the waters near Bistonian Shingleton, and intense clashing between them began, the Bistonian Navy alerted and called in several ships to help them defend against the Federation Navy.
In response, Bistonia sent several ships from the north Bistonian Sea and the south, pushing their influence out of the Bistonian Sea, and recapturing several scattered islands along the way, and sank one of the battleships.
The Bistonian Sea, in just 4 days were captured again by the Bistonian Navy, the St. Ark Armed Forces were stuck in Bistonia and the scattered islands, meanwhile severe clashing in Bistonian Shingleton and New Shingleton began, with the partial sinking of the Torpetta.
The St. Ark Navy nearly collapsed, and was forced to retreat from the Bistonian Sea, leaving occupation troops in scattered islands and Bistonia to fend off from their own.
== Operation Nagorsk ==
Because of the St. Ark Navy's complete retreat from the Bistonian Sea and the sinking of 5 ships, SAAF began resorting to surviving on the island and defending themselves from the Bistonian Armed Forces till their eventual downfall years later and the surrender of the St. Ark Federation.
Bistonian generals planned a large and risky operation called "Operation Nagorsk", it aimed to push out SAAF from Mazoji, and immediately push them out from the island, and attempt to recapture Bistonian Shingleton, however, Operation Nagorsk was a failure, but this operation weakened SAAF presence near West Bistonia.
Operation Nagorsk was commenced weeks after their planning by Bistonian generals, however this operation was deemed risky earlier, in West Bistonia the operation faced slight resistance from SAAF, but the most devastating front of Operation Nagorsk was in the Mazoji frontline, as Bistonian troops had an intense difficulty in capturing highways surrounding the city of Mazoji.
However, Operation Nagorsk had slightly weakened SAAF during its early operations, and carved a legacy within the Bistonian army not to commence a dangerous and risky operation, however this legacy was completely erased in 1988 during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War which caused the near complete destruction of the Bistonian Army.
== Atrocities by the St. Ark Armed Forces ==
During the Federation War in 1974, the St. Ark Armed Forces had a long record of commiting atrocities and genocide against both the Bistonian and Crimsonian peoples in West and Southern Bistonia, this involved detention camps and sentencing to hard labor camps and experiments, including chemical warfare used against civillians in the city of Mazoji.
However, most of these atrocities were not witnessed and not blamed on the St. Ark Armed Forces as the Federation War limited information coming out of the country and its occupied territories in Bistonia, however leaked documents stated that the St. Ark Armed Forces had been commiting war crimes and terrible acts against both the Crimson and Bistonian populations, and claimed that a ghetto was set up in Mazoji.
However, the atrocities commited were much more horrible than described in the outside world, as half of the city of Mazoji was a ghetto and was organized between seperate groups, those who were Protestant faced their churches getting burnt including the desecration of graveyards, the treatment of civillians in occupied territories, the prosecution of Bistonian generals and primarily, political activists in Bistonia.
These atrocities were witnessed by Bistonian troops after the St. Ark Federation began withdrawing from their occupied areas, revealing the true state of the crimes they commited, most of these were filmed and released to the outside world, in which led to the international attention to the Federation War, the victims of the war saw this as the most horrifying things in their lives.
== West Bistonian Revolution ==
The West Bistonian Revolution was a civillian revolution carried out by West Bistonian civillians in the occupied region of West Bistonia, it aimed to push out troops belonging to the Federation due to the treatment of it's civillians and atrocities commited by the St. Ark Federation, the West Bistonian Revolution was a major blow on the Federation's grip on it's occupied territories in the Federation War, and eventually led to the St. Ark Mutiny and the collapse of the frontlines.
The West Bistonian Revolution began in mid 1975 after Operation Nagorsk, commenced by the Bistonian military became a failure and resulted in the weakening of Federation troops in the frontline and occupied areas, leaving them vulnerable to civillian unrest, the West Bistonian Revolution was met with fierce fighting against eachother, eventually the West Bistonian Revolution began spreading throughout the occupied regions of West Bistonia, further collapsing law and order in the occupied territories, the West Bistonian Revolution was a success and weakened troop morale in the Federation War.
The West Bistonian Revolution further worsened the devastation after Operation Nagorsk and eventually contributed to the beginning of the St. Ark Mutiny, in which military divisions began betraying eachother, nearly collapsing the front and revealing atrocities on the frontline and in occupied areas.
== St. Ark Mutiny ==
The St. Ark Mutiny was a catastrophic event in the Federation War in mid 1975 in the Federation's military, as Federation troops began a mutiny against the St. Ark Federation in the occupied territories of Southern Bistonia and West Bistonia, the aims for the mutiny was to protest against the Federation's incompetence during the Federation War, this eventually contributed to the front collapsing and revealing atrocities on the frontline and in occupied areas across Bistonia.
The St. Ark Mutiny began as military divisions began betraying eachother and further being distant from their goals and aims, some even resorting to their own survival looting food and weapons, generals in occupied territories of West Bistonia began harassing and being aggressive towards eachother, this eventually resorted in military divisions splitting from the Federation military and fight for themselves, including attacking their own military personnel and sometimes in dire situations began cannibalizing eachother, as news from the frontline reached to the Federation, the Federation deployed more than a thousand military personnel to secure the frontline and the occupied territories, and put down resistance from the fractured military divisions.
During the St. Ark Mutiny, the situation was dire, fractured military divisions began cannibalizing eachother for food as they can no longer scavenge for food across the occupied territories of Bistonia, as the Federation began deploying and landing their troops on occupied Bistonian territories, they saw the St. Ark Mutiny and the situation as dire, because of this, they were forced to put down the mutiny and kill most of its military personnel that was driven to insanity due to their cannibalism, military generals affiliated with the mutiny were executed and many military equipment was deserted, leaving most of the population to pick them up and form militias, which would contribute to the Bistonian Shingleton conflicts in the 70s and 80s.
By the aftermath of the mutiny, the fractured military divisions were completely erased with most of its personnel facing execution and detention in mental hospitals, because of this, the frontline of the Federation War had began its slow descent into total collapse, and contributed to atrocities caused by the St. Ark Armed Forces, the mutiny and the atrocities revealed would later go on with the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations finally intervening in the Federation War and would eventually led to Mazoji falling under Bistonian hands again in 1975. 
== Commonwealth of United and Free Nations Intervention ==
The atrocities committed by the St. Ark Armed Forces prior to the St. Ark Mutiny had reached the ears of personnel in the headquarters of the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, because of this they deployed diplomats to the St. Ark Federation convincing the government to stop the war and withdraw from Bistonia immediately or face consequences, the St. Ark Federation declined the offer.
Because of the offer provided by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations had been rejected, CUFN voted to ally and sign a agreement together with the Republic of Bistonia to deploy peacekeepers in the Republic of Bistonia in an attempt to prevent genocide, CUFN also passed a vote that would allow CUFN to take action in the Federation War.
== Siege of Mazoji (1975) ==
The Siege of Mazoji in 1975 between the St. Ark Armed Forces and the Bistonian Armed Forces, the Siege of Mazoji lasted for 2 months and had decided the fate of the city, it was a decisive victory by the BAF and the loss of SAAF, and led to the collapse of the frontline and eventually the liberation of Bistonia afterwards in 1976.
The Siege of Mazoji began in 1975 after the weakening of troops and the mutiny by SAAF, as the Bistonian Armed Forces began to take advantage of the mutiny by seizing the highway leading to the districts north of the city of Mazoji, eventually troops began being aware of their movements and had secured any advantage points of the city, however they had left the sewer systems intact and vulnerable to attack by Bistonian forces, and eventually rebellions within the city districts began the Siege of Mazoji. During the Siege of Mazoji, Bistonian forces began breaching defenses north of the city, resulting in heavy casualties including civillians, with several buildings and utilities bombarded by artillery constantly throughout day and night. Bistonian troops began taking advantage of the sewer systems aswell and had creeped into the city underground.
Eventually, after 2 months of the siege, most of the districts in the northern part of the city of Mazoji had fell under Bistonian control, and eventually in the aftermath of the siege, SAAF had begun its complete withdrawal from the city of Mazoji including its surroundings, further allowing Bistonian troops to further secure their control over the city, and after their surroundings were secured, the Siege of Mazoji was declared a victory, eventually SAAF frontlines would collapse into divisions that would again resort to survival.
== Collapse of the Frontline ==
The St. Ark Mutiny had completely weakened the frontline and many occupied territories within Bistonia, with the Siege of Mazoji further putting the final nail in the coffin for the stability and morality of troops in the frontline and eventually led to the collapse of SAAF presence and control in early 1976 and then eventually, the unconditional surrender of the St. Ark Federation.
The collapse of the frontline began after the complete withdrawal from the southern areas of Mazoji after their defeat in the northern districts of Mazoji, in the aftermath of the withdrawal, many officers and generals began realizing the total devastation of the war and claimed if they furthered continue to escalate tensions within the war, they would further worsen the situation of soldiers within the frontline, eventually they began fleeing from the occupied territories of Bistonia into the St. Ark Federation.
Many officers and generals fleeing from their divisions meant that many soldiers in the divisions of the St. Ark Armed Forces had nowhere to go or nowhere to clash between Bistonian troops, eventually they began realizing that the officers and generals they had fought for had betrayed them in an attempt to flee from the presence of the war, in total anger, St. Ark troops began fracturing into divisions and fighting eachother for survival again, eventually they would leave the frontlines deserted with equipment left.
The collapse of the frontline led many occupied territories vulnerable to being captured or seized by the Bistonian army and would further reveal war crimes committed within the occupied territories, further escalating tension and further global attention to the situation of the war.
== Liberation of Bistonia ==
The Liberation of Bistonia was an event that involved the Bistonian Armed Forces and the remnants of organized St. Ark Armed Forces divisions within the former occupied territories, it involved the takeover of major highways in Southern Bistonia in an attempt to end the war early, the war eventually ended in a decisive Bistonian victory and would further push the St. Ark Federation out of mainland Bistonia and eventually force them to surrender and sign the treaty of New Shingleton. 
The operation began in 1976 and began with the takeover of major highway points in areas controlled by the St. Ark Armed Forces, however the BAF faced slight resistance due to the weakness and lack of leadership by SAAF, and eventually in an hour many of these major highway points were occupied by the BAF, however because of this, the SAAF remnants were forced deep within the areas of Southern and West Bistonia, hoping that someday they will eventually win the war. 
Because of the situation, the BAF took advantage within Bistonian Shingleton and in 1976 Bistonian troops began landing in coastal areas of Bistonian Shingleton, capturing and securing surrounding areas and moved west of Bistonian Shingleton, the military administration fled away from Bistonian Shingleton, leaving the island without any leadership or governance, SAAF however made a decision to fight until their eventual surrender in the year 1976, with many troops from occupied areas fleeing Bistonian Shingleton in time. 
Eventually, the liberation of Bistonia ended in a decisive Bistonian victory, however the St. Ark Federation continued to fight and resist against Bistonia in the occupied areas until their eventual unconditional surrender 15 days later in an announcement by the president of the St. Ark Federation, however many SAAF remnants continued to fight against Bistonian troops in the deserted regions of Southern Bistonia until eventually the beginning of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987. 
== Bistonian Shingleton conflict ==
The Bistonian Shingleton conflict reigned terror on the island since the 80s and 90s by Shingleton seperatists wanting to join the St. Ark Federation and the unionists wanting to unite with Bistonia, however the root of the problem did not begin with the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, and the roots of the conflict dated back to the beginning of the Federation War in 1974 and inspired many Bistonian Shingleton seperatists to rebel against the Bistonian government. The island of Bistonian Shingleton was a state in the Republic of Bistonia that borders neighbouring New Shingleton, a state in the St. Ark Federation, before the conflict it was also an island for tourism and one of the best places to stay in Bistonia at the time before the war. Fighting continued until a peace agreement was signed in 1992 with all unionist and revolutionary paramilitary factions coming to peace.
The 1974 Bistonian Shingleton conflict began in the areas of West Bistonian Shingleton which had a majority population of Bistonians, with settlers from the St. Ark Federation siding in East Bistonian Shingleton, many of these Bistonians in West Bistonian Shingleton began rebelling against the military administration of the St. Ark Federation and reigned terror with bombings, assassinations of officials and eventually kidnapping, this made the western areas of Bistonian Shingleton known to be one of the dangerous fronts for troops stationed in the occupied territory of Bistonian Shingleton, as many had attempted to clear out the rebels, most of these rebels eventually in the aftermath of the Federation War began to form a group known as the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists, however the Bistonian Shingleton conflict was not known as a war against two sides, but known as a civil conflict.
As for many people in East Bistonian Shingleton, many people admired the occupation of Bistonian Shingleton and demanded the hosting of a vote to join the State of New Shingleton and the St. Ark Federation, many of these people in East Bistonian Shingleton also fought against guerilla rebels in West Bistonian Shingleton, sometimes often sending angry mobs of people to prosecute many Bistonians residing within Bistonian Shingleton, however many of these plans were halted and stopped as the military administration within Bistonian Shingleton fled and eventually Bistonian troops began taking over Bistonian Shingleton, eventually most of these people in East Bistonian Shingleton in the aftermath of the Federation War began to form a group known as the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists who would eventually fight eachother in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987.
The 1974 Bistonian Shingleton conflict would eventually begin a series of conflicts within the Bistonian Shingleton and contributed to hundreds of problems within the island throughout the decades as tensions between the two groups began rising up in the aftermath of the Federation War, it wasn't until 1987 when the Crimsonian-Bistonian War began and tension between Unionists and Seperatists began rising up and reigned terror throughout people within the island until an agreement was signed in 1992 ending all conflict with the Unionists and Seperatists within Bistonian Shingleton.
== Surrender ==
15 days after SAAF troops were pushed out of mainland Bistonia and many divisions remained fighting against the BAF in Bistonian Shingleton, the situation for the St. Ark Federation within the Federation War was desperate, many of its allies had turned against them because of their actions within the Federation War and the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations had passed a vote to bombard the cities of Jefferson in order to paralyze their production of weapons and to stress the economy within the St. Ark Federation, however, the president of the Federation had made a decision.
In the morning hours of June 12th 1976, the president of the St. Ark Federation had addressed to the people of the Federation, stating that the Federation War had been catastrophic for the people and in return he had announced the unconditional surrender of the St. Ark Federation in the Federation War after ultimatums from the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations had threatened the Federation, eventually he had made a decision to open negotiations with Bistonian officials and promised to end the war no matter the cost, he would announce the withdrawal of all troops from the Bistonian mainland and Bistonian Shingleton during the announcement aswell.
By June 13th 1976, the St. Ark Federation had completely ended all operations within the Federation War and surrendered, reactions to the unconditional surrender were mixed, some in the Federation saw the surrender as a loss while some saw it as a victorious move by Bistonian troops, many Bistonians cheered on the frontline while troops from the Federation had been devastated by the unconditional surrender.
== Treaty of New Shingleton ==
The Treaty of New Shingleton was signed on 26th June 1976 ending the Federation War between the St. Ark Federation and the Republic of Bistonia, it was signed within the state of New Shingleton, the treaty involved paying mass reparations and many other things involved within the treaty.

== Announcement of the end of the Federation War ==
In July 1976, the president of the Republic of Bistonia announced and addressed to the people declaring the end of the Federation War and the end of the 2 year long conflict that brought on devastation, the speech was criticized by opponents worldwide due to its hypocrisy and background of the president, claiming the speech as immature.
== Aftermath ==
In the aftermath of the Federation War, the war had brought complications to the Republic of Bistonia, in Southern Bistonia many power grids were poorly rebuilt and many fields were filled with landmines, and in Bistonian Shingleton it had brought a decades long civil conflict between Unionists and Seperatists, nothing was gained from the war by Bistonia other than devastation and rampant conflict, many of the troops had lack of equipment to sustain itself and many generals had quit their position due to their risky operations, promising never to commence them again.
For the St. Ark Federation, the war brought complete devastation, as in the years the economy had completely been stressed and would contribute to the beginning of protests in the St. Ark Federation in 1979 and eventually a coup d'etat would happen, beginning the era of military rule, and the beginning of the St. Thomas Incident and eventually, the Federation Civil War.
== Death toll ==
The death toll within the Federation War in numbers were high, but the conclusion was undetermined, some estimated the death toll to be around 800,000 by civillians with 500,000 Bistonian soldiers killed in action, with Federation Soldiers facing 700,000 casualties, in total over millions of people had died within the Federation War, however eventually decades later the Crimsonian-Bistonian War would eventually topple, exceeding over 2 million.
