Bistonia

==About==
The Provisional Government of Bistonia, (aka. Laikinoji Bistonijos vyriausybė) or de facto known as the Republic of Bistonia, was a unitary semi-presidential representative democratic republic currently under the military junta with a provisional government established in its place, from 1988 to 1990 under the leadership of Stanislovas Darijus, who was the main general of the Bistonian Armed Forces. Following a series of decades of political instability, along with the fallout from the Federation War and deteriorating relations with the People's Republic of Crimsonia, it would ultimately culminate in Crimsonia declaring war on the Republic of Bistonia, beginning the events of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987, beginning one of the wars which resulted in the worst humanitarian disasters on the global world. The country further escalated into turmoil, and unlike the war which had been previously fought decades ago, Bistonia did not manage to unite most of the country, and instead, the country fell into bickering factions with the Bistonian government almost losing a majority of their presence on nearly all of their provinces. This then culminated in the Vilnius Coup, in which with the help of the Bistonian population, Stanislovas Darijus and his army would proceed to overthrow the Bistonian government, in which he established the Provisional Government of Bistonia. This then resulted in reserve units opposing against his actions, which then fractured the Bistonian Armed Forces into two major factions, with each of them fighting for control.
Fortunately, after almost months and weeks of struggling, the Bistonian government regained the strength, and eventually Stanislovas Darijus would cooperate with the Free Bistonian Army, by beginning a new front on Southern Bistonia. Following this, the Bistonian government miraculously gained a victory and a turning point in the war, following the Siege of Mazoji in 1988 and the eventual destruction of the Bistonian People's Republic. As the war began stretching longer and longer, it would soon come to conclusion that, Crimsonia, despite having military superiority in the region over their neighboring countries, would then soon fall due to its incompetence, and would lead Crimsonia to its demise. By the year of 1989 before the events on the 15th of November, the Bistonian Armed Forces had made significant progress on the frontlines, and had completely ousted the Crimsonian military from mainland Bistonia, and would then begin their efforts into capturing the city of Kagengrad, which was controlled by Crimsonia's puppet state known as the West Bistonian Socialist Republic. 
After the West Bistonian Socialist Republic had fell, and with the city of Kagengrad eventually captured the next day, the Bistonian government had declared a total victory in the war, and as retaliation towards Crimsonia's immense destruction brought on Bistonia, would then begin a military operation which involved the invasion of both Wilnotarn and the island of Arshturn, which would later on launch during early 1990. By that point, Crimsonia had been completely exhausted from the war, and surrendered after Bistonian troops had captured Kraibrezhen and entered the city of Ribolov. After that, the Treaty of Kraibrezhen was created, and the Crimsonian-Bistonian War was put to an end, ending 3 years of a painful and agonizing war. Despite this massive victory, Bistonia did not manage to recover from the scars of the war, and would not be the same country as it was prior to that.
Currently in 1989, the capital of the Provisional Government of Bistonia is the city of New Vilnius, one of the largest cities in mainland Bistonia, and with a very interesting history. The city of New Vilnius, was the historical capital of medieval Bistonia. Currently, the city of New Vilnius is partially in ruins. After half of the city was occupied and surrounded by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations as a buffer zone during Operation Schon, and the subsequent event of the Vilnius Coup, New Vilnius was a shell of its former self. Most of the city's businesses had been closed shut, and buildings were boarded off, and buildings, often dating back to the 1800s or centuries prior had been shelled as part of a scorched earth policy by Crimsonia. The second largest city in mainland Bistonia would be located over a hundred kilometers away, in the State of Southern Bistonia called Mazoji. Known as Small or Little in the Lithuanian language, Mazoji was continuously inhabited over the centuries, with its history beginning during the migration of the Serudians and the construction of their ancient capital. It was once an exclave of the Bistonian Empire, only accessed by boat or walking through the vast uninhabited plains for weeks to travel to the city. It became an industrial powerhouse during the Industrial Revolution in Crimmitonia, from the 1870s. Other cities with honorable mentions would be the city of Kriadavia, the third largest city which was entirely inhabited by the Polish minority, which had arrived here for work and opportunities, and the city of Kagengrad, which was the first Crimson city constructed on mainland Bistonia. Bistonia would be mentioned ingame, and part of Bistonia, from the Moylston island in Bistonian Shingleton and the Scattered Islands Archipelago, would take place in the game New Shingleton, 1989, near the border of the St. Ark Federation.
==History==
=== Prehistory===
Prior to the Lithuanian migration, tribes began arriving to modern-day Bistonia through a landbridge which connected Bistonia to the neighboring continent thousands of years ago during the last ice age, during the human migration throughout the planet. As the ice age ended, the landbridge which connected Bistonia would later on be submerged in water, resulting in mainland Bistonia being disconnected from the rest of the continent. This resulted in the tribes, which had already settled into mainland Bistonia, to remain isolated on the mainland itself. During this period, a tribe, known as the Serudians, descended from the tribes which arrived to mainland Bistonia, and constructed settlements along the Slativias Mountains in Central Bistonia, then eventually arrived to the Mazoji region and established settlements along the banks of the Silavetra River, which they remained for years to come.
====Yagoi-Serudian conflict====
Eventually, the Serudians were immediately met with a conflict with another tribal group called the Yagoi. The Yagoi peoples were known by several other Bistonian tribes as a superior group and had been forced to make peace treaties or pay tributes to them in exchange for protection, otherwise they would be wiped out. Initially, the Yagoi had seen the banks of the Silavetra River as a valuable and sacred land, until the Serudians had arrived and had destroyed their value by constructing settlements. This prompted the Yagoi to send attacks and ultimatums towards the Serudians, which resulted in an all out conflict which forced the Serudians to go to war against their neighboring tribe. Eventually, after a long conflict, the Yagoi people were forced to make peace with the Serudians, after sustaining heavy losses and after having their settlements plundered, and forced to recognize the Serudian's control over the land.
====Kingdom of Serudiantu====
See also: SerudiansFollowing the defeat of the Yagoi tribe, the Serudians proclaimed the Kingdom of Serudiantu, after securing and solidifying their control over the Mazoji region. Afterwards, in the year of 1031, the Kingdom of Serudiantu would reach its peak and flourished, with Serudian explorers discovering the Scattered Islands Archipelago, including the island of Bistonian Shingleton, and constructed settlements in certain parts of their recently discovered territories. The Serudians would also construct monuments dedicated to their kings in their capital city located in the Mazoji region, where they would be created and carved out of stone and placed in the heart of the city. It also didn't take long for the Serudians to discover Nesekme, which would later on be known as modern-day St. Ark Federation. They became the first recorded group of people to arrive on Nesekme. However, due to uncertain reasons, these settlements established by the Serudians would later on collapse and disappear months later after their establishment, which would repeat for over nearly centuries till the 1800s.
Following the rise of the Kingdom of Serudiantu, there were also setbacks which had later on accelerated its decline. Despite being known as a powerful empire in mainland Bistonia at the time, the Kingdom of Serudiantu were ruled mostly by clans, which were ruled by noble families. These noble families would fight eachother for power and gain the throne as the King of Serudiantu, however the king of Serudiantu would mostly control the power of the noble families. This wasn't until a certain king called Lybu, who was known as a heroic warrior, died at the age of around 45, which resulted in a revolt orchestrated by the noble families. The revolt was put down, but in the end it was not worth saving the Kingdom of Serudiantu, as their kingdom was beginning to crumble. Eventually, Lybu was succeeded by another king, but his successor was nowhere near as him. 
=== Lithuanian migration===
Prior to 1270, the Lithuanians, a tribe living in Eastern Mesothemia, settled and united to form a kingdom. This was a small and relatively peaceful kingdom, until in the year of 1270, nomadic hordes, which initially came from the eastern parts of the world, conquered almost most of the continent, becoming one of the largest empires at the time. These nomadic hordes threatened the Mesothemian civilization at its core, as the kingdoms in Mesothemia had recently fought an all out war which had completely devastated their forces. As a result of this, Mesothemia was vulnerable to attacks by these nomadic hordes, and neighboring towns, which also affected the Lithuanian kingdom. This forced the Lithuanian king, who underestimated nomadic forces at the time and was mostly unprepared, to declare war on them. Later on, the Lithuanian troops were weakened and as a result their capital city fell after a siege in only a matter of 5 days. In the aftermath, the nomadic hordes would set fire to most Lithuanian villages and attempted a massacre as a punishment towards them. Because of this humiliating defeat, along with the Poles who were also defeated, the Lithuanians, along with Poles, were forced to flee their homelands, and headed south where almost a thousand of them were dead.
During the exodus of the Lithuanians and Poles, a thousand struggled along the way with the successor of the Lithuanian king, and as the hordes had begun to chase them directly out of the continent, they were forced to run away once again into the ocean, where another thousand had died. Later on, the Poles then split from the Lithuanians to another direction. The Lithuanians then managed to survive to arrive on a land which would later on be modern-day Bistonia, some were uncertain as how they managed to survive and arrive on mainland Bistonia, with Lithuanian folk explaining the tale of the Blue Eagle, which had directed them to modern-day Bistonia, and the Blue Eagle would later on be the coat of arms for Bistonia. On what would later on be known as Bistonia's capital city, New Vilnius, the tribes, which had already lived on the land before their arrival, had seen their arrival as a threat, and waged an all out war against them in which the Lithuanians managed to defeat them. As the Kingdom of Serudiantu had realized the extent of their damage, they would later on declare war on the Lithuanians, which ended up as the final nail in the coffin for the Kingdom of Serudiantu, as it had instantly collapsed once the Lithuanians began advancing towards their capital, forcing the Serudians to flee mainland Bistonia to the Scattered Islands Archipelago, where they would remain for 800 years.
===Bistonian Empire 1289 AD - 1673 AD===
Prior to 1289, after the Lithuanian migration, the Lithuanians established separate kingdoms along the coasts of Northern Bistonia, and controlled by separate kings. These kingdoms would later on wage a brutal war against eachother, prompting a Lithuanian king to rise up to power and eventually reunite all of the Lithuanian kingdoms into a one single unified kingdom. Following the proclamation of the Kingdom of Zedrutia, the Bistonian Empire was established the next week in the year of 1289, and New Vilna would be the main chain of command for the rest of the empire, and would be later on named the New Vilna Imperial City. The Bistonian Empire later on in the 1300s would later on continue with their expansion campaigns, and conquered Arshturn and Wilnotarn, which gradually expelled most Bistonian indigenous groups out of Northern Bistonia, and into the uninhabited fields of Southern Bistonia. Prior to 1316, the Bistonian Empire had established good relations with Koriuka, prompting the Kingdom of Zedrutia to become allies.
In the year of 1316, Koriuka, the king of Zedrutia, died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 58 after being informed of the devastation after the tribes in mainland Zedrutia had defeated their troops, because of this, there were 4 heirs which were supported by each kingdoms on both continents in an attempt to assert their dominance over the kingdom. The Bistonian Empire, which had recently won a series of wars against the native groups in Southern Bistonia, had made a decision to back a Zedrutian prince named Nojus, in an attempt to assert their influence over the region and quell the violence which had been done. However, Nojus was nearly killed in an assault orchestrated by Jaghrul, a Ruralian prince who attempted to become the heir to the throne. Nojus was then ordered to attack Jaghrul's garrison. The Bistonian Empire was then devastated b y the sudden loss of Nojus and turned against Jaghrul, they then began backing Koriuka at the expense of Zedrutia's control over the sea, and with the help of Bistonian troops, recaptured the city of New Gdansk from Savorjan's forces, as a result, Zedrutian forces along with the help of the Bistonian Empire, formed a coalition against Savorjan and besieged and captured his capital, killing Savorjan and his kingdom was destroyed in the process. Afterwards, Koriuka then set out to conquer the rest of Zedrutia, and reunified the country under his rule. 
Somewhere after Krzysztof was dethroned and killed by his forces, the Zedrutian Empire, which was crumbling, attempted to form a union with the Bistonian Empire, but due to rising tensions, this proposal was rejected, and the Zedrutian Empire and the Bistonian Empire severed ties. Due to the Zedrutian Empires sheer size, peeked at the year of 1398, the Bistonian Empire saw the Zedrutian Empire as a potential threat, and prohibited Zedrutian traders and merchants from entering Bistonian waters, and both sides began arming eachother for a potential invasion, however before they could go to war together, the Beylik Empire, which had began rapidly developing its army, began expanding at a rapid rate, forcing both sides to defend eachother from a potential invasion by the Beyliks. However, compared to the Bistonian Empire, the Zedrutian Empire had lack of morale, as the empire had began to collapse. Later on after a month, the Zedrutian Empire went into a secession crisis once again, and collapsed into several regions controlled by Zedrutian warlords. 
In the year of 1440, as a result of rising crime, the Bistonian Empire set out to purge outlaws which had been roaming throughout the country, which prompted Bistonian outlaws to move into the unconquered territories of Southern Bistonia, during this period, Nesekme was rediscovered once again, and Bistonian outlaws would attempt to establish settlements along the northern coasts, however this ultimately failed, and most of them disappeared along with their settlements. After the fall of the Zedrutian Empire under the hands of the Beyliks in the year of 1442, the Bistonian Empire had launched expeditions into the deep interior of Southern Bistonia, and rumors began circulating of an island, which would be modern-day Bistonian Shingleton. As the 1500s arrived, the Bistonian Empire reached it's peak, although mainly superior, the Bistonian Empire was still unable to conquer the deep interior of Southern Bistonia, due to the hostility of the tribes. This prompted the Bistonian Empire to attempt to conquer territories north of their empire, which would later on contribute during their downfall. In the year of 1589, the Vilna dynasty begun, and would become the last dynasty to reign over the Bistonian Empire. 
In 1639, Vilna IV was born in the New Vilna Imperial City, becoming the seventh son of Vilna III, and learned several languages at age 14. At over 21 years of age, he ascended the throne as emperor of the Bistonian Empire, following the death of his father Vilna III. Prior to the events of 1673, rumors spread that a land northwest of the Bistonian Empire had been found, and there were rumors that it had contained gold and valuable resources, and during that time, Emperor Vilna IV had become an important figure within the Bistonian Empire, as the empire had gradually expanded in size, although he was criticized for continuing the 800 year isolation policy. In the year of 1673, Emperor Vilna IV invited Vespucci Amberto to the New Vilna Imperial City to discuss his plans about surveying the land. Vespucci Amberto was a man who had been doing expeditions across the continent for 40 years, earning him the reputation across the continent. Vespucci Amberto had wrote about Vilna IV as a strong man, but he had an awful side, in which Vespucci Amberto claimed that he was an egocentric man, he was also impressed by Vilna IV's knowledge of every language. Eventually, Vilna IV rejected Vespucci Amberto into an expedition, but after Vilna IV gained his trust, he accepted Vespucci Amberto into the expedition, and provided him a ship which was constructed specially for him. He had given a task to Vespucci aswell, to bribe the people living in the land known as Crimsons into joining and pleading allegiance to the Bistonian Empire, and serve as their great potential soldiers. 
After Vespucci Amberto completed his expedition, he arrived to the palace of Emperor Vilna IV. After Vespucci Amberto arrived to the emperors palace, Vilna IV was completely disappointed and lunged at Vespucci Amberto, after witnessing that he wanted to show weapons, including skulls to him. Vilna IV proceeded to call him uncivilized and barbaric, and after attempts were made by Vespucci to convince Vilna IV that the Crimsons were peaceful and didn't live a nomadic lifestyle, Emperor Vilna IV then ordered his guards to arrest Vespucci Amberto and his groups, with the majority of them cursing at the emperor, further angering Vilna IV. After Vespucci Amberto was detained by Emperor Vilna IV, he was confined in a cell below the palace in New Vilna Imperial City. During his time in the cell he refused to write papers which intended to be an apology towards Emperor Vilna IV, after several refusals and appeals made by Vespucci, his death sentence arrived. Vespucci was then escorted to Emperor Vilna IV's palace, where Emperor Vilna then lifted his sword and proceeded to decapitate him after Vespucci Amberto allegedly said his death will curse the land for centuries. His headless body was then dragged to the stairs of Emperor Vilna IV and was removed as ordered by the emperor. Vespucci's crew were thrown off the mountains near New Vilna Imperial City and killed instantly in the process. Some of them fled before they could eventually be captured by Emperor Vilna IV after realizing Vespucci's intentions to convince the emperor. 
==== Crimson invasion ====
In the days after his death, Emperor Vilna IV ordered Vespucci's vessel to be dismantled, and valuable items including journals were recovered, afterwards, when Emperor Vilna was examining the contents of the ship, he discovered a map intended to cross northeast of the homeland of the Crimsons, including Vespucci's journal. After it was examined, Emperor Vilna IV demanded the deployment of 30 of his ships, including his impressive fleet to prepare for the war against the Crimsons and its alleged king, with Emperor Vilna IV joining the battle against them, in an attempt to relinquish his reputation. Emperor Vilna IV arrived at the approximate location weeks later, with soldiers and more weapons. As the Crimsons approached them out of curiosity, Emperor Vilna IV then proceeded to lift Vespucci's head out of his bag and dropping it on the ground, which had angered those who approached the Bistonian fleet. The Crimsons then began running deep into the forests to alert the king, and Bistonian troops proceeded to do the same, as a result, Crimson nomads then ambushed dozens of them and had them killed, then the horde killed most of Emperor Vilna IV's soldiers and they were forced to retreat. As they retreated to the coast, they then found out that most of their fleet had been destroyed except for a few. When they were in the process of leaving, Emperor Vilna IV decided not to board the ship until it was completely ready, and as a result he was hit by an arrow in the chest. He then succumbed to his injuries instantly and died. As Bistonian soldiers began killing a few Crimson warriors who attempted to climb the ship, they retreated, and once it was clear, Emperor Vilna IV's corpse was found decapitated, and his head was later on spotted a distance away. It was then retrieved, and brought along to New Vilna Imperial City. After the remnants of the Bistonian fleet returned to the New Vilna Imperial City, crowds then gathered infront of the harbour, where Emperor Vilna IV's corpse was escorted out of the vessel, wrapped in cloth. After locals discovered that Emperor Vilna IV had been killed during battle, the Bistonian Empire was left with no heir to the throne, and the empire began fracturing slowly. During the preparation of the funeral, Emperor Vilna IV's body and head were attached, and placed inside a golden class casket. However, during the funeral, the Bistonian Empire was in full alert, as hordes of a hundred Crimson ships entered the city. 
After hundred Crimson ships entered the New Vilna Imperial City, Bistonian forces were unable to crush their efforts, and were easily outnumbered and underestimated. These Crimson hordes would later on cause rampage throughout the city, and pandemonium. Monuments, dedicated to emperors and Bistonian history, were scorched and taken down, with colossal buildings in New Vilna Imperial City being set ablaze, the Bistonian army was completely destroyed, and Crimson hordes secured their control over the New Vilna Imperial City. As a result of this, the Bistonian Empire collapsed, and most of Northern Bistonia fell under anarchy till Crimsons had secured their control over the coasts of Northern Bistonia, in the aftermath, the Bistonian Empire ceased to exist, and the empire had lasted for over 4 centuries. 
===Bistonian remnant kingdoms===
Following the destruction of the Bistonian Empire and the sacking of the New Vilna Imperial City, most of the Bistonian Empire's overseas territories remained, with a portion of the Bistonian Empire still remaining. However, after they were informed of the sacking of the capital city, and the province collapsed following it. Because of this, most of the Lithuanians in Arshturn, later on united together to form an independent government, called the Kingdom of Farhorn Isle, with Arshturn's only city, Arshturna, as it's own capital. The Kingdom of Farhorn Isle would last for over 16 years, and during that period, the Kingdom of Farhorn Isle had their own currencies, and armies. It wasn't until in 1689, when a newly formed Crimson dynasty declared war on the Kingdom of Farhorn Isle, in an attempt to conquer the remaining Lithuanian remnants. After Arshturna was besieged and captured, the Kingdom of Farhorn Isle capitulated, and ceased to exist.
In mainland Bistonia, another Bistonian remnant kingdom existed, in the former Bistonian province of Mazoji. Due to it's location and separation from the rest of the Bistonian Empire, the Mazoji Region was maintained under an autonomous government, with the city of Mazoji serving as the second capital of the Bistonian Empire, with colossal palaces and monuments constructed under the orders of Bistonian emperors. When the Bistonian Empire fell under the Crimsons, most of the empires remaining territories collapsed, with the exception being the province of Mazoji, due to the reasons which had already been stated. The autonomous province then declared independence, as the Kingdom of Mazoji, this however, did not last long compared to the Kingdom of Farhorn Isle, as it later on collapsed due to the lack of troops, and the city was later on besieged and sacked by tribals, which took the collapse of the Bistonian Empire as an opportunity.
===Crimson Rule 1673 - 1701===
Following the collapse of the Bistonian Empire, the coasts of Northern Bistonia were occupied by the Crimson horde, and forcefully annexed and became their territory. These occupied territories later on became provinces under a new Crimson dynasty. During the early years, the Crimsons would brutally suppress most of the Lithuanians, and revolts which were attempted by the Lithuanians were also crushed. As Bistonia was seen as a threat to their existence, they forcefully moved Lithuanians out of their original homes, and were replaced with Crimson migrants which had recently settled on mainland Bistonia. This was seen in West Bistonia, Arshturn, and Wilnotarn. Lithuanian culture was also suppressed aswell, and the Crimsons assimilated them in an attempt to make them accept their culture. 
Eventually, over 28 years later, the Crimson dynasty, which had now ruled over Bistonia and rapidly assimilated them, would be put to an abrupt end, as the Beyliks, which now had been expanding throughout some parts of the world, declared war on them, in which the Crimson dynasty immediately collapsed after the Beyliks arrived towards their capital. A guerilla war occurred in an attempt to repel the Beylik invasion, but it was already too late, as the Beyliks had captured over a huge amount of territory. The Crimsons then attempted to flee to exile on mainland Bistonia, where they were then destroyed. The Beyliks then seized the city of Ribolov in Arshturn, the northern parts of Wilnotarn, and then eventually landed first on Kriadavia, and captured most of northern Bistonia in the year of 1701, and incorporated them into the Beylik Empire. 
===Beylik Rule 1701 - 1802===
Following the Beyliks conquest of mainland Bistonia in 1701, the Beyliks had made attempts to move southwards in mainland Bistonia, however, due to the harsh terrain, including various tribes which had continued to repel any attacks by foreign powers, their attempts failed. In 1705, the Beyliks began their migration into mainland Bistonia, and the following year, as part of a process to integrate many of their provinces, forced the Crimson majority in West Bistonia to convert to Islam, however, efforts to convert the majority Crimson population in Arshturn and Wilnotarn had failed. As a result of the unfair integration, the Crimsons in West Bistonia revolted against Beylik rule, where they had blamed the oppression instead on the Lithuanians, and a massacre occurred, in which over 30,000 Lithuanians had been brutally slaughtered. In most of Northern Bistonia, the Beyliks had treated most of the Lithuanian population with respect and dignity, something that the Crimsons had also wanted. The Beyliks then constructed and completely rebuilt the city of New Vilnius, and had conquered the Mazoji Region.
In 1799, almost 98 years after the Beylik conquest of mainland Bistonia, the Mongravians, which had recently recovered from a civil war, declared war on the Beylik Empire, and made significant progress. Mongravian forces, attempted to invade the Beylik province of Sidan to no avail, but managed to capture territory along the banks of rivers in Sidan, and destroyed most crops and farms. Eventually, just weeks later, the Beyliks had pushed back, and won the first phase of the war, and emerged victorious, this however did not last long, as Mongravian troops invaded the Beylik province of Zedrutia, with backing from the Polish populations. Eventually, the Mongravian invasion of Zedrutia became chaotic, and as a result the Beylik Navy's ships had been completely destroyed with Mongravian efforts, and the Mongravians had completely seized Zedrutia, creating a devastating blow to the Beylik Empire.
Following the defeat of the Beylik Empire by the Mongravians, a series of nationalist uprisings and instability occurred in the Beylik Empire, but they were eventually put down by the Beylik army, which had been completely battered and fragile in the aftermath of the war. In mainland Bistonia, New Vilnius faced a series of protests by the Bistonians, which demanded full independence from the Beyliks including the withdrawal of all influence from mainland Bistonia, following the rise of nationalism in the Beylik Empire after 1799. Along with the Bistonians, the Crimson majority in West Bistonia had begun to rise up to call for an independent West Bistonian state. These later on cooled down, and the Beylik Empire tightened their authority over the province. During this period, the Beylik Empire planned efforts to colonize the landmass known as Nesekme, located south of mainland Bistonia, and incorporate it within their new empire. However, they did not have sufficient funds, and following the destruction of the Beylik's navy, their chances had been low, and it was cancelled.
Eventually, the Beyliks tightening authority in mainland Bistonia would later on crumble, as once again the Crimsons began their nationalist uprising beginning in 1801, this however was crushed, but weeks later a more larger uprising called the Crimmitonian Revolution occurred in mainland Crimsonia, where Crimson rebels had captured most of the northern regions, and were on the verge of reaching towards the important city of Kradovo, and as the Beylik army had been completely exhausted, and on the verge of crumbling, the Beylik Empire was forced to surrender to the Crimmitonian rebels, and were forced to sign a treaty in which the Beyliks were forced to recognize the independence of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, and the Beyliks then sued for peace. In the aftermath, the Beyliks had lost almost most of their territories within their control over Mesothemia. Months later after the treaty, the Beyliks were forced to then hand over the Bistonian territories of Wilnotarn, and Arshturn, including most of their territories in Northern and West Bistonia, after an agreement was signed between the two sides years after the Crimmitonian Revolution in 1802. After the agreement was signed, a ceremony was held in the city of New Vilnius, where the flag of the Beylik Empire was then lowered and the flag of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia rose, officially beginning the Crimson rule over Bistonia again, after over 100 years. Following the hand over, the Bistonians, which had been declined an independent state, had now demanded for an independent state ever more, and this would later on contribute to centuries of hate, war and massacres between the two sides.
===First Kingdom of Crimmitonia (1802 - 1918)===
Following the signing of the New Vilnius Agreement in 1802 between the newly created Kingdom of Crimmitonia and the Beylik Empire, Crimson rule over most of mainland Bistonia, Northern Wilnotarn, and the island of Arshturn was restored for the first time since centuries, much to the disappointment of the Bistonian population in mainland Bistonia. During the early months of Crimson rule over mainland Bistonia, the king of Crimmitonia, Jargus I, who rose to prominence as a hero and liberator of the Crimsons, sought to punish the Bistonians for their alleged collaboration with the Beyliks. The Kingdom of Crimmitonia would later on attempt to exterminate most of the Lithuanian culture and customs, starting off with the banning of the Lithuanian language in some parts of New Vilnius. The following year, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia launched expeditions, in which they discovered the island known as Bistonian Shingleton, and constructed ports on the city. In 1805, Crimmitonia would later on conquer the remnants of the Mazoji Region, and reestablish the important city of Mazoji along the banks of the Silavetra River, and would eventually become the second largest city in Bistonia. In the year of 1814, settlements completed construction in Bistonian Shingleton.
==== Mazoji Revolution of 1816 ====
In the year of 1816, most of Mesothemia, following the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the humiliating defeat of Mongravia, would face a series of nationalist revolutions and uprisings across the continent, in which had devastated most of their countries. The Lithuanian population, which had been settled into the town of Mazoji at the time, had been inspired deeply by the democratic revolutions in Mongravia, and inspired by the revolutions which sparked across the continent. This prompted the Lithuanian population to demonstrate in Mazoji in opposition towards the policies implemented by the king of Crimmitonia, Jargus I. The demonstration would later on escalate, which prompted Crimmitonian troops stationed in Mazoji at the time to open fire towards protestors. This later on further rose tensions in the Mazoji Region, and an uprising occurred in which Lithuanian rebels stormed Crimmitonian government cities, and later on seized the Mazoji Region away from the Kingdom of Crimmitonia. During this, the Lithuanian rebels had declared the Republic of Mazoji, an independent Bistonian republic which flew the Blue Eagle flag. The Mazoji Rebellion then would spread across Bistonian Shingleton, where it had caused a great amount of damage throughout Crimmitonian ports in the western regions. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia responded quickly, and began efforts to recapture the held territory. Crimmitonian troops quickly defeated the rebels, however they were exhausted by guerilla warfare. The capital city, Mazoji, was recaptured by Crimmitonian troops, and the leader of the Republic of Mazoji, was forced to surrender weeks after the capture of their capital. Following the aftermath, Jargus would later on blame the Lithuanians in the Mazoji region, and a massacre occurred in which 10,000 people had been killed and buried in mass graves in pits outside of Mazoji. The Mazoji Rebellion, although ended in a brutal effort by Crimmitonia, would later on become part of a legacy to achieve an independent Bistonian state, away from all the influences, and would later on influence most Bistonian nationalists.
In the 1820s, the Lithuanian majority in mainland Bistonia were forced to undergo a process which had been planned by Jargus, in which their culture, language and influence had been stripped away and replaced by Crimsonian culture, and the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had encouraged the Bistonian populations to accept the Crimsons, and had brainwashed them to become part of the Crimmitonian army. The following year, James Spence Monroe, son of the president of the United States of Megaton and Columbia, established his settlement along the banks of Nesekme, which prompted the Kingdom of Crimmitonia to establish relations with the United States of Megaton and Columbia, and had aided them in the colonization of Nesekme. In 1828, after the discovery of the Scattered Islands Archipelago and the unknown Kingdom of Serudiantu, the United States of Megaton and Columbia had made a decision to declare war on the Kingdom of Serudiantu, after one of their expeditioners sent had been attacked and killed. The Kingdom of Crimmitonia later on joined the war and declared war on the Kingdom of Serudiantu the following day, and Crimmitonian troops from Bistonian Shingleton, quickly seized the northern portions of the Scattered Islands Archipelago. Crimmitonian troops fought with the Serudians for over minutes, till the Kingdom of Serudiantu quickly surrendered, and as part of the treaty, the Kingdom of Serudiantu was made a protectorate for both the Kingdom of Crimmitonia and the Colony of New Hope. 
==== Pesca Partition (1834) ====
Years after the Serudians lost the battle in the year of 1828, the Kingdom of Serudiantu was on the verge of collapsing as a result of instability after the war, and it was forced to pay tribute to both the USMC and the Kingdom of Crimmitonia. Although it remained as a protectorate for both countries, the Kingdom of Serudiantu still continued to exist for another 6 years, although both countries controlled their foreign affairs. It wasn't until in December 1833 that a Serudian revolt occurred in the Kingdom of Serudiantu, and the puppet king was overthrown and replaced with a legitimate ruler, declaring neutrality and splitting from both influence. As a result of this, both sides sent an ultimatium to the Kingdom of Serudiantu, in which the kingdom declined. Afterwards, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia and the USMC had plans whether or not they would own the archipelago, in which after a long debate it came to an end, where they had made a decision to divide the island into two parts for themselves. The next week, in January 1834, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia and the United States of Megaton and Columbia then declared war on the Kingdom of Serudiantu, and Crimmitonian forces would land on the archipelago first, and captured several islands. The United States of Megaton and Columbia did the same aswell, and a few islands fell under their control. The Serudians eventually fought back, however they were powerless and their forces were immediately destroyed as a result. The next day, the Kingdom of Serudiantu surrendered, and it was occupied by both sides. Weeks later, the Kingdom of Serudiantu was forced to sign the agreement and the Scattered Islands archipelago was divided into two parts which later on became colonies and eventually territories by both sides. It would be later on known as the Pesca Partition, and as a result of the partition, the Kingdom of Serudiantu was dissolved in the year of 1834, and had lasted for nearly 810 years.
In the year of 1842, Crimmitonia would launch an expedition towards the undiscovered lands of Southern Bistonia to conquer the rest of mainland Bistonia, following the rise of colonial empires across the global world. This was however, costly, as most Bistonian natives living in Southern Bistonia, which had over centuries of experience in resisting the Lithuanians, and the Beyliks, could potentially hamper their efforts. However, this was underestimated, as later on Crimmitonian troops would clash with several tribes, in which Crimmitonia had won. They would also continue to expand throughout Southern Bistonia, by constructing a railroad connecting New Vilnius to the city of Mazoji, and had temporarily ended the dangerous trek from New Vilnius to Mazoji. This however resulted in most Bistonian natives being forced out of their original homes and lands which were in the way for the railway, and due to attacks against workers constructing on the railway, Crimmitonian troops would retaliate by massacring most of the livestock in which the Bistonian natives heavily depended on, forcing them to retreat to the deep plains of Southern Bistonia, in which over thousands had died trekking for weeks. On the other opposite side, the Scattered Islands Archipelago, which had been divided into two sections for Crimmitonia and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, had also faced a similar fate. Crimmitonian troops, which were stationed in the island including authorities, the Crimmitonians further accelerated the decline of the Serudian tribe, by allowing disease to go through their communities and run rampant as punishment. Serudian children, were then forced into assimilation schools, stripped of their clothing, forced to abandon their tradition and customs, and adhere to Orthodox Christianity. A majority of Serudians were forced out by settlers into cramped and crowded parts of the island, and those who revolted and opposed Crimmitonian rule on the island, were subjected to humiliation, with most of their clothes stripped away from them, and they were forced to dance naked. 
Following the beginning of the 1850s, the Bistonian tribal natives resistance against foreign invaders, had been weakened, largely due to the result of Crimmitonian troops responsible for exterminating most of the wildlife in Southern Bistonia, and the construction of the New Vilnius-Mazoji railway. This allowed the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, to finally conquer the remaining territories, and eventually Southern Bistonia fell under the rule of Crimmitonia, completing the year long expedition. Following the conquest, the natives, which had been battered, were then forced out of their lands, and deported to several reservations established in the Slativias Mountains in Central Bistonia, where they would continue to this day. The Crimmitonians would then eventually evict most Bistonian inhabitants in the city of Mazoji, and sent them back to Northern Bistonia. The Kingdom of Crimmitonia would then proceed to make a deal with the United States of Megaton and Columbia, opening Bistonia's borders to the flow of settlers as part of a manifest destiny. Most of these settlers, initially coming from the United States of Megaton and Columbia, were majority Catholic, while the Lithuanians, after the Reformation era, had been majority Protestant. This would later on contribute to a religious divide, which would bring on many issues within Bistonia's modern day politics, and would become the pretext to civil conflict in the 80s.
In the year of 1855, over 5 years after Crimmitonia completed their expedition and secured most of mainland Bistonia and Wilnotarn, the Crimmitonian administration split the island of Bistonian Shingleton away from the main colony of Bistonia, and Bistonian Shingleton became a separate colony away from the rest of mainland Bistonia itself. Therefore until the 1930s to the 60s, Bistonian Shingleton served as a seperate colony away from mainland Bistonia due to their geographic locations and differences, such as tax and many other services and utilities, Bistonian Shingleton proved itself to be dependent on their own resources which also further proved their reasons to serve as a separate colony. Following the beginning of the Columbian Civil War in the 60s, migrants flocked to Southern Bistonia to seek refuge, however they would later on permanently stay on Southern Bistonia. Following the end of the Columbian Civil War, slavery in the United States of Megaton and Columbia had been completely banned and outlawed, and the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, in an attempt to boost and develop most of Southern Bistonia, had allowed for slavery to continue, attracting most plantation owners from the United States of Megaton and Columbia to establish several communities across the region. It wasn't until in 1885, that the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, as part of an attempt to reform the state, outlawed slavery, as soon as most of Southern Bistonia had been developed. 
In the year of 1872, following the Industrial Revolution which sparked across most of Mesothemia, most of Northern Bistonia had faced the Industrial Revolution, in which machines had replaced laborers, and more workforce had been relieved as a result. Agriculture, gradually improved with the help of such machines, and railways had begun popping all across Northern Bistonia, following the construction of the New Vilnius-Mazoji Railway. This, along with other contributing factors, would later on prompt the Kingdom of Crimmitonia to rid most of the little remaining autonomy that mainland Bistonia had, and shifted most of their industry to mainland Crimmitonia, in order to develop most of their country. In 1895, following the ascension of Jargus III as the king of Crimmitonia, Jargus III would restore most of Bistonia's autonomy, lifting restrictions on the Lithuanian language and culture, and had allowed for the conscription of troops with a Lithuanian background, becoming a breakthrough when it had come to autonomy in mainland Bistonia. 
In the year of 1903, the Rbyealramal Civil War began, in which the Kingdom of Crimmitonia intervened under the orders of Jargus III, in which conscripts from mainland Bistonia arrived to intervene, however they would remain there for a short while, as they were called back to the mainland. Almost 10 years afterwards, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, and the rest of its allies, joined a war against the Beylik Empire, following its defeat at the hands of Ochrestran. Bistonian conscripts, were then sent to the frontlines of the war along with Crimmitonian troops, where they had fought heavily on the frontlines and gradually captured chunks of territory from the Beylik Empire. Following Crimmitonia's victory against the Beylik Empire, and with its allies gaining significant chunks of territory from the Beyliks, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had the desire to conquer the rest of Vardarija, a region mostly inhabited by Crimsons. The Kingdom of Crimmitonia then once again suspended ties with their former allies, and declared war on them. Initially, they were gaining significant progress on the frontlines, and were on the verge of seizing Vardarija, but they were immediately outnumbered by their enemies. They proceeded to call troops from mainland Bistonia, in which the Bistonian volunteers had defected, resulting in the Kingdom of Crimmitonia being forced to surrender, and Jargus III was humilitated by the war.
Following the defeat of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia at the hands of its former allies, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had lost almost a portion of their territories gained after the war, but managed to keep some of them. Jargus III, whose popularity had been declining over the past decades during his power, had wanted to commit revenge against his former allies, and cut off relations with Mongravia, and began establishing relations with the Ruralians, something that almost all countries in Mesothemia had opposed. In 1914, a border conflict with Mongravia occurred, becoming the turning point, and eventually, the First Great War began, which would become a recipe for disaster over the years.
=== First Great War (1914 - 1918)===
Initially during the First Great War, Jargus III had remained neutral throughout the war, until in the year of 1915, when the Kingdom of Crimmitonia entered the war in an alliance with Ruralia and several other allies, and declared war on their former allies. With the help of Ruralian volunteers, a majority of them had stormed throughout most parts of the country, and Crimmitonia was awarded the region of Vardarija, in which Crimmitonia had wanted from their former ally. Following the defeat, Jargus III went to the capital of Vardarija, and during his way back home to Kradovo, he was immediately praised as a war hero which had saved the country from complete collapse despite his notorious reputation for humiliating the country after declaring war on most of his former allies. Following his popularity, he would then focus on his attacks on the United States of Megaton and Columbia, in an attempt to halt their efforts in the war and turn the tide of the war in an attempt to aid Ruralia. Months following their planned attack, Crimmitonian planes from Bistonian Shingleton, flew to the city of Jefferson, in the State of New Shingleton, and launched a surprise attack on the United States of Megaton and Columbia by bombarding most of their factories, with over 78% of the city scorched as a result of the bombing campaign. This prompted the United States of Megaton and Columbia to declare war on the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, and the following day joined the war against Ruralia and its allies. 
During the first few weeks following the declaration of war by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, they would face their first battle as units from the Dominion of St. Ark moved and stormed the Crimmitonian portion of the Scattered Islands Archipelago, putting it under occupation. Attacks and preparation for the invasion of Bistonia were carried out, with the first action being the bombardment of the city of Shinglederry. Troops from the Dominion of St. Ark then proceeded to move into the island of Bistonian Shingleton, having difficulties in attempting to occupy the entire island. Afterwards, the Lithuanian majority, had seen the declaration of war against the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, as an act of liberation, and resistance movements sprung up across Bistonian Shingleton, and the rest of mainland Bistonia. This resulted in the fall of Bistonian Shingleton, as it had already fell in no more than a weak. The United States of Megaton and Columbia then launched an offensive and forces landed on the coasts of the Silavetra Peninsula, and had humiliated the Crimmitonian army during their performance in the First Great War. 
Following the fall of the Silavetra Peninsula to the hands of the United States of Megaton and Columbia, and the fall of Bistonian Shingleton, Jargus III in his capital city had been humiliated and despised by his own people once again, seeing him as an eyesore and a bigot, prompting Jargus III to tighten restrictions on the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, and resulting in the depression which would later on contribute to his death. In the year of 1916, the United States of Megaton and Columbia had brought significant progress among the front lines, as they had shifted towards capturing the rest of the territory in Western Bistonia, to cut Crimmitonia from the rest of mainland Bistonia in order to seize it. Those who were loyal to the United States of Megaton and Columbia in Southern Bistonia, had backed them. The following year, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, now nearly on the brink of exhaustion from war and on the verge of decline, had accelerated, following the death of Jargus III to cholera, in which numerous theories claimed that the depression that was brought upon his humiliation, led him to deliberately commit suicide by drinking contaminated water during his sons 12th birthday. 
In the aftermath, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia was heavily devastated by the loss of Jargus III, and there were no successors to the throne, as Jargus III had declined to offer a legitimate successor to the throne. This was however, confirmed that his son Jargus IV, who was 12 at the time, would be the legitimate successor as the king of Crimmitonia, and he later ascended the throne following his fathers death. Although the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had moved on from the death of Jargus III, Jargus IV was unfortunately a disaster for the kingdom, as he gave away the majority of the power to those who had planned to rule the Kingdom of Crimmitonia by their own. This later on accelerated, along with war exhaustion, with hundreds of soldiers deserted, Generals from Central Mesothemia then also forced him to sign agreements which forced Crimmitonia to hand over food and resources by force, which exhausted their war efforts. Jargus IV also had made terrible decisions as he had nearly devastated the economy. 
Following the weakening of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, movements in Bistonia began rising up. Demonstrations in the city of New Vilnius, demanding autonomy and independence, had turned into riots and then eventually an uprising in which the Crimmitonian army could not put down, and an uprising, inspired by the previous rebellion of 1816 and backed by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, had broke out in the city of Mazoji, but it was however crushed, but it had took the majority of their war efforts. On the frontlines of West Bistonia, the situation was dire. Due to food shortages and lack of morale, the Crimmitonian army was too stretched far beyond, while the United States of Megaton and Columbia continued to defend their occupied territories from Crimmitonian counter offensives. In the year of 1917, the United States of Megaton and Columbia would send most of their remaining units to the frontlines of the war in Mongravia, and had given the Kingdom of Crimmitonia an opportunity to launch the final counteroffensive on the Silavetra Peninsula, and they had won for the final time, before being pushed back. This would prompt the Ruralians and their allies to suspend and cut relations with the Kingdom of Crimmitonia for a month, till the officials controlling the state would guaranteed their alliance. Jargus IV, had been aware of the dire situation his nation was in, and had wanted to stop the war from causing further damage. but he was interrupted following an attack on his palace by counter revolutionaries, who plotted the overthrow of the monarchy to establish a democratic state. 
Following the rest of the year of 1918, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia was finally finished off in the First Great War. The Beyliks, which had been in the same alliance with the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, had surrendered first, relieving more troops. They would later on storm the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, and invade the annexed region of Vardarija, with Crimmitonian counteroffensives failing everytime. Jargus IV, already in his last days of power, had done nothing to improve the morality of Crimmitonian troops. This prompted many Crimmitonian officials, and politicians, to hereby declare an official surrender to the Allied Powers, in which they had manipulated Jargus IV into doing so. Crimmitonian troops stormed into his palace the following day and executed his servants and seized assets by the monarchy. Jargus IV was intended to be executed but after final decisions were made it was decided that he would be spared. He was forced into signing more and more agreements and later on in 1918 he was forced to abdicate from the monarchy. 
In the aftermath of the coup d'etat in 1918, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia officially surrendered to the Allied Forces, and a domino effect would happen in the alliance Crimmitonia was in, with Ruralia surrendering in late 1918, officially ending the First Great War. Fighting in mainland Bistonia had ceased, and the uprising in New Vilnius, although initially successful, dropped their weapons, and the rebellion ended. Following the immediate surrender, a brief period of peace occurred in Bistonia, something which had never been seen in over 3 years. The Kingdom of Crimmitonia was officially dissolved, and a provisional government was set up to replace the monarchy. Bistonia, although on the brink of total collapse, remained under the control of the provisional government, During this, flags of the new Crimmitonia were risen everywhere, including Bistonia, hoping for a day where they would finally embrace freedom without the crackdown by the Crimmitonian monarchy. After the signing of the treaties, Crimmitonia had lost significant amounts of territory, and Vardarija was then returned to their original counterparts. 
Following Crimmitonia's surrender, although they had lost chunks of territory on the mainland, Crimmitonia had lost a great amount of territory in mainland Bistonia. Starting from the beginning of 1919, the Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia would set up occupation zones which would encompass the entire region of West Bistonia, and the island of Bistonian Shingleton was put under brief occupation aswell, along with the Scattered Islands Archipelago. During this, negotiations with the wealthy elite of Crimmitonia began with officials from the Dominion of St. Ark, in which a microstate called the City State of West Bistonia was established, ruled mostly by none other than the elite. In the year of 1919, after months of no heir to the throne, those who were granted power over the government eventually dissolved the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, and declared the First Republic of Crimmitonia, under the red, black and white flag. 
===Interwar period (1919 - 1940)===
Following the end of the war, Bistonia was heavily devastated by the war, with the majority of its infrastructure in ruins. The First Republic of Crimmitonia, which had been given high hopes by the people, was unfortunately a weak and unstable democratic government, and they were put to the task of rebuilding and paying heavy reparations to some of its former allies, and the Crimmitonian army, once known as the bulk of the entire nation, was now forced to discharge a majority of its recruits, and only 100,000 were allowed in the military. The Crimmitonian army was then prohibited from owning aircraft, and a huge fraction of their navy had been taken away. As a result of the instability which had occurred, a series of uprisings began in most of mainland Bistonia, including the island of Bistonian Shingleton, in which it had demanded the United States of Megaton and Columbia to put down. In the occupied territory of Bistonian Shingleton, the situation had been more dire compared to mainland Bistonia, as a famine had occurred, resulting in thousands dead and starving. An insurgency occurred in Bistonian Shingleton, in which a liberation movement was created in an attempt to push out occupation forces from Bistonian Shingleton. These insurgency groups, located all across the countryside, would later on unite into two major factions, the Separatists, which had loyalty towards the Dominion of St. Ark and demanded the handover of Bistonian Shingleton to the government, and the Unionists, which had been loyal towards the Bistonians, and wanted reunification between them and Bistonia once it had gained independence. These groups, would later on clash in the 80s, and would contribute to a decade of hate and civil conflict within Bistonian Shingleton. 
in the year of 1921, after nearly years of occupation, the island of Bistonian Shingleton was handed over in a ceremony between officials from the Republic of Crimmitonia and the Dominion of St. Ark, ending the military administration and allowing for a peaceful transition of power on the island. However, this was all a complete failure, as the famine which had spread throughout Bistonian Shingleton had now killed over hundreds of thousands of people, and the famine had led to the abandonment of several villages. Later on, this would then become worse once again, following an economic crisis which devastated the Crimmitonian economy, and rendered the Crimmitonian currency useless, as a result of mass inflation. The power vacuum, continued to rage on, and insurgencies belonging to the Separatists remained, despite many efforts to counterattack them by the Crimmitonian military. In 1928, after centuries of being under direct Crimmitonian rule, the Republic of Crimmitonia, would begin a process in which Bistonia would transition into a colony into an overseas province. A referendum was held, with the majority of the populations in mainland Bistonia agreeing to the transition. The following year, the Republic of Crimmitonia dissolved Bistonia's status as a colony, and established it as an overseas territory in which it was allowed to have their own president, and official cabinet. This became the first time Bistonia had their own autonomy since the 1900s, and this became a breaking point into the independence of Bistonia. The following year, Bistonian Shingleton's status as a colony was revoked aswell, and became an overseas province along with Bistonia. Despite their connections, Bistonian Shingleton continued to remain as a separate entity away from mainland Bistonia till the 1960s.
In the beginning of the 1930s, the Great Depression had occurred, which affected the global economy. As a result of this, the Republic of Crimmitonia had become politically unstable following the economic collapse, as the Crimmitonian currency had inflated and had become worthless. During this period, it would begin an era which would lead to the end of the First Republic of Crimmitonia, as far-right political groups began to spring up in the Republic of Crimmitonia, blaming the economic depression on the democratic government. It was also during this political crisis, that Bistonian nationalist groups had begun to rise, and the word for Bistonian independence would begin. In the year of 1934, the Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, withdrew from the region of West Bistonia, ending the brief occupation which had lasted for nearly over 20 years. However, despite this, the city state beside Kagengrad continued to exist for another 3 years, before dissolving and being integrated into the autonomous region of Bistonia. 
In the late 1930s to 1940s before the collapse of the First Republic of Crimmitonia, the Second Great War had broke out, in which almost all of Mesothemia had fallen to Ruralia and their allies, and other neutral nations had been overthrown in a coup d'etat and announced their entry of war and pleading their allegiance to Ruralia. The First Republic of Crimmitonia, being informed of the invasions which had occurred, imposed a neutral policy in which Crimmitonia would stay neutral in the war. This further angered the leadership of Ruralia and their allies, as Crimmitonia was seen as an opportunity for them to enter in the war. Like many other countries which had initially declared neutrality, Ruralia would convince the Crimmitonian military command to initiate a coup d'etat, in which the president of the First Republic of Crimmitonia was overthrown and arrested, and parliament had been suspended. Following this, the military had dissolved the First Republic of Crimmitonia in 1940, declaring a provisional government in which they would shift and proceed to restore the monarchy, and Jargus the IV, which had stayed in Arshturn for exile, then returned and became the king of Crimmitonia.
Following the coup d'etat and the immediate dissolution of the First Republic of Crimmitonia, the Lithuanian majority in mainland Bistonia, after having decades of autonomous rule, had demonstrated against the coup d'etat, in which the Crimmitonian military command had responded to the demonstrations by cracking down on them. This later on resulted in the rise of several resistance movements in mainland Bistonia, with several motives such as to restore the democratic government, or to establish an independent Bistonia. In the aftermath of the massacres which had ensued in the unstable country, the new leadership of Crimmitonia had announced the dissolution of Bistonia's status as an autonomous province, claiming it to be fully part of the mainland and the Crimsons, and had made Bistonia an overseas province, further angering the populace and further pushing the motive for Bistonian independence. After the situation in Crimmitonia had stabilized, the new leadership announced the restoration of the monarchy, and the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia was established, although Jargus IV remained as a puppet leader and front for the military command.
===City State of West Bistonia 1928 - 1937===
In the year of 1928, the remaining wealthy elite in Bistonia, proposed for an independent city state during the interwar period, with their city state located in the private and wealthy districts south of the city of Kagengrad, the capital of West Bistonia, which was occupied by the Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia. Despite the agreements which were made which had prevented the wealthy elite from being given their own independent state, both countries occupying the region had been accepted, and the proposal to establish an independent city state south of Kagengrad was finally accepted. The following year, the City State of West Bistonia was established, and would last for 4 years until it was incorporated into the Republic of Crimmitonia, 4 years after the occupation of West Bistonia ended.
During the few years of its existence, the City State of West Bistonia had comprised of a majority of the wealthy districts south of Kagengrad, and a majority of the civilians living in the small city state were in the upper class. The city state had their own currency and economy, and the city state had been completely isolated from the rest of Crimmitonia and its influence. The city state, also had an industry, however it was small compared to the industry located north in Kagengrad. In the year of 1929, the City State of West Bistonia expanded following an agreement, in which the city state acquired surrounding areas and eventually access to the Bistonian Sea. The city state had their own government and their taxes, along with policies completely different to that of Crimmitonia's, and a president was elected every 5 years. Despite the economic prosperity, the City State of West Bistonia became part of a political crisis in Crimmitonia, and was one of their most major setbacks. As it was created in occupied territory, it was disputed. With Crimmitonia de jure controlling it, and the wealthy elite which de facto controlled it.
It later on escalated, as Crimmitonian police then moved into the City State of West Bistonia. Following this, the president of the city state had condemned the Crimmitonian government for pulling a heinous act, with the Crimmitonian government responding to his statement claiming that it originally belonged to them. This later on escalated, and on the Crimmitonian side, they viewed the City State of West Bistonia as an illegal occupation of their territory, and had seen the wealthy elite living in the city state as inferior to their country. On the other side, the City State of West Bistonia would see Crimmitonia's actions as heinous, and called for international help, with their government demanding help and aid from the United States of Megaton and Columbia. As tensions rose between those, the City State of West Bistonia created their police force and military, along with their own passports, and drove most of the Crimmitonian police away from the city state. This later on resulted in the conflict then being put to an abrupt end. 
In the year of 1937, despite the Crimmitonian governments claims on the City State of West Bistonia, the city state had continued to function well into the late 1930s, until the following year, the president of the city state had passed away in office, leaving a power vacuum between 2 candidates who would run as president of the small city state. Initially, it had run well for the city state, till the Crimmitonian government once again intervened, demanding those in the city state to surrender their arms. Because of this, the city state had pulled an undeclared war, in which the Crimmitonian military responded in a direct storming operation, in which all of the city state was captured. Following this, the City State of West Bistonia was dissolved, and once again reincorporated into the rest of Bistonia itself. This eventually resulted in a crisis, as the United States of Megaton and Columbia responded with condemnation, as they had provided support for their sovereign status. This was however proven futile, and the City State of West Bistonia would no longer exist. 
===Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia (1941 - 1945)===
After the coup d'etat and the declaration of the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia, the authoritarian royal dictatorship would then began cooperating and collaborating with the Ruralians and their allies, and officially joined in the Second Great War. Following this, the authoritarian royal dictatorship initiated a purge, in which would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands or possibly around a million. Months after the coup d'etat, the autonomy for Bistonia was completely abolished, and then became an integral part of Crimmitonia. The regime would abolish minority rights towards the Lithuanian majority in Bistonia. Jews in Bistonia, were also targeted by the authoritarian royal dictatorship. During their early months in power, Crimmitonian troops would be stationed in a majority of Bistonia's cities, targeting Lithuanians, homosexuals and those who were accused of being Jewish, and would round them up, deport them in train carriages and be sent on their way to concentration camps located in Southern Bistonia, where they would be euthanized and forced to labor camps.
People who were associated with the former government, along with politicians, would be executed, and a military draft policy was enforced towards a majority of the population in mainland Bistonia and Bistonian Shingleton. Although a majority of the people in Bistonia had opposed the oppression by the authoritarian royal regime, many of the people located within the eastern regions of Bistonian Shingleton, including the Crimson-majority West Bistonia, and the mostly rural areas of Southern Bistonia, unconditionally supported the authoritarian royal regime, often becoming collaborationists and mostly supported the cruel political systems. Because of this, Crimmitonia would secure their presence within some of Bistonian Shingleton, West Bistonia and the rural areas of Southern Bistonia. On the bright side, most of these brutal heinous acts would result in an insurgency, with dozens of factions in mainland Bistonia rising up against the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia, with a majority of these groups being mostly Lithuanians. Another brutal policy, which would finally become the final nail in the coffin for Bistonia's limited autonomy, is the persecution of both the Catholic and Protestant churches. As most of Crimmitonia was mostly a majority Orthodox nation, the Crimmitonian authorities, with extremist Orthodox views, would set out to burn over hundreds of churches scattered across the country, and tore down monuments dedicated to both branches of Christianity. Because of this, a majority of the priests belonging to these branches fled from mainland Bistonia, fearing their lives. 
After 1942, the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia would begin attacks on New Shingleton and their provincial capital, Jefferson once again. This attack was carried out in response to war efforts by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, with them sending support to a majority of their allies which would fight the war against Ruralia and their allies. A majority of St. Ark's industrial areas, involved in the production of military arms, were destroyed. This attack however, was proven a failure, as their backup industry was largely intact from the bombing and located in several areas across most of the Dominion of St. Ark, and later on convinced the United States of Megaton and Columbia to declare war on the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia and their allies, Ruralia. Ruralia and its allies then responded by threatening Crimmitonia, and would finally result in the destruction of Ruralia. 
After the events of 1942, the United States of Megaton and Columbia invaded the Ruralian occupied Zedrutia, and liberated it within nearly a month in the year of 1943. Following this, the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia was now on the verge of being vulnerable to an invasion and a counter attack, and later on resulted in Crimmitonian units being deployed along the coast of Northern Bistonia, this was however a poorly made decision, as most of Southern Bistonia was left undefended and vulnerable to an attack. This gap was later on taken advantage of years later in 1944, when the United States of Megaton and Columbia had made significant progress in the war. They then launched an offensive towards the capture of Bistonian Shingleton, in which it had fell in a matter of days after units moved to the cities. Once the United States of Megaton and Columbia had seized and had their complete control over a few dozen cities on Bistonian Shingleton, the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia attempted to create a counter offensive and retaliated by deploying some of their reserve units to Southern Bistonia, once they arrived, it had been already too late, as the United States of Megaton and Columbia had made efforts and seized the Silavetra Peninsula, and would begin their attack on West Bistonia. 
During the offensive towards West Bistonia, Crimmitonian troops had made slow progress and recaptured several villages along the way, but however over time the Crimmitonian troops had been exhausted, and the United States of Megaton and Columbia had pushed deeper into the southern regions of West Bistonia, and months later, they were on the verge of capturing the city of Kagengrad. The generals which had controlled most of Crimmitonia, had anticipated them to capture Kagengrad, and attempt to ambush them through nearly all sides. However, the situation further escalated, as the Union of Orchrestran had began their invasion of Crimmitonia, occupying several territories. The offensive would continue in West Bistonia, but it was proven futile, as Orchrestranian troops arrived and surrounded the capital city of Kradovo, forcing the Crimmitonian authoritarian royal dictatorship to flee to the city of Ribolov as their temporary capital, with generals then further anticipating the liberation of Kradovo. After nearly weeks of the siege, the king of Crimmitonia, Jargus IV, one of the puppets of the generals controlling the state, had announced the unconditional surrender of Crimmitonia to the Allied Forces. 
Following this, authority in Crimmitonia almost collapsed, and once the United States of Megaton and Columbia was informed of the surrender, units launched a final offensive and pushed most Crimmitonian forces out of West Bistonia, putting it under brief occupation, including Bistonian Shingleton. Crimmitonian troops then surrendered, including Bistonians who volunteered for the war, as some were disarmed and became prisoners of war. Despite this, the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia continued to fight for another week as a rump state in Ribolov, before most of the leadership in Ribolov was killed, and the remnants were forced to surrender. Crimmitonia was put under brief occupation, and they were then forced to sign a treaty with the Allied Powers, and had harsh punishments towards Crimmitonia, establishing occupation zones. 
===Post-war era===
In the year of 1945, the Second Great War ended, and in the post-war period, Bistonia was in a frail state. A majority of its infrastructure had been damaged, as a result of allied bombardments during the invasion of mainland Bistonia in 1944. The railway which had connected to New Vilnius and the city of Mazoji had been heavily damaged, which left most of the cities disconnected from eachother. The city of New Vilnius, was largely intact, although due to uprisings, most of the districts had been deserted. Bistonia's agriculture and industry, which was the backbone of their economy, had been heavily devastated, with most of the farms scorched as a result of the invasion. This resulted in most cities being deprived of resources and necessities, and the economy was completely devastated. Following this, the previous democratic government which had been in power before the coup d'etat in 1940, had returned to mainland Crimmitonia after being in exile for almost 5 years, and a provisional government was established, with elections being held in 1945. After the elections, a democratic government was elected, declaring a new state known as the Second Republic of Crimmitonia.
During the early phases of the Second Republic of Crimmitonia, there were attempts to restore the Crimmitonian economy, including a majority of Bistonia's infrastructure and agriculture. Bistonia's status as a integral part of mainland Crimmitonia was then abolished, and Bistonia's former status as a overseas autonomous province was once restored. Despite the restoration of the previous government, the Bistonian independence movement began to grow, demanding the democratic government for more autonomy and rights. However, before Crimmitonia could fully recover, the Cold War had occurred, in which the Crimmitonian government, in exchange for economic support by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, implemented anti-communist laws, and had shifted towards a brutal approach, resulting in the beginning of the Crimsonian Civil War. 
===Crimsonian Civil War (1946 - 1950)===
In the year of 1946, following a series of political instability and the crackdown on left-wing political parties in Crimmitonia, a civil war began, in which remnants of the Fatherland Front, a leftist group which fought against the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia from the 1940s, along with the former commander known as Gerasim Deyan, formed a group known as the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front, also known as the CRPF for short. The leader, Gerasim Deyan, had aimed to establish a one-party state within Crimmitonia and overthrow the democratically-elected government in Crimmitonia. During the early phases of their operations, the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front would launch attacks against local villagers and police in Southern Dobruja, a territory currently occupied by the Union of Orchrestran, and carried out attacks from Trobvinka. After the democratic government was informed of the attacks, they would condemn the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front, recognizing it as a terrorist group, and declared a state of emergency. The following day, the Union of Orchrestran would cede the occupied territories towards the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front, beginning the Crimsonian Civil War.
Throughout the course of the Crimsonian Civil War from 1946 to 1950, mainland Bistonia was not mainly affected by the Crimsonian Civil War, and groups connected to the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front did not intervene in the Bistonian chapter. As a result of this, most of Bistonia remained neutral throughout the Crimsonian Civil War, and the territories occupied by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, such as West Bistonia and Bistonian Shingleton was returned to the Second Republic of Crimmitonia in 1947. In 1949, the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front captured the city of Kradovo, and pushed most of Crimmitonia's forces south. As a result of this, the Second Republic of Crimmitonia would continue to function in exile as a rump state, only controlling that of Wilnotarn, Arshturn and mainland Bistonia itself. The civil war did not spread into mainland Bistonia till in the early 1950s, when a paramilitary group was formd called the Bistonian People's Liberation Army, made up of collaborationists and volunteers from the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front. Along with the Bistonian People's Liberation Army, it aimed to liberate Bistonia from the Crimmitonian government in exile, and during the late phases of the Crimsonian Civil War, the Bistonian People's Liberation Army controlled most of Central Bistonia, and seized the railway leading to New Vilnius and Mazoji, in which months later, guerilla forces moved and seized the city, announcing the takeover of most of mainland Bistonia. Although the Bistonian chapter of the Crimsonian Civil War ended, the Crimmitonian remnants, made mostly of Bistonian-Polish volunteers in Kriadavia, continued to fight, till they surrendered shortly afterwards.
Following the end of the Crimsonian Civil War in mainland Bistonia, the Bistonian People's Liberation Army had seized most of mainland Bistonia, and by the 1950s, most of Crimmitonia's remnant forces had surrendered to the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front. In the aftermath, Gerasim Deyan, chairman of the Crimmitonian Communist Party, had arrived to the captured city of Kradovo from the port city of Telvinra, and declared the People's Republic of Crimsonia, marking the end of the Crimsonian Civil War, although some of Crimmitonia's remaining remnants continued to fight until 1953. 
===Crimsonian Bistonia (1950 - 1960)===
By the beginning of the 1950s and in the aftermath of the Crimsonian Civil War, most of mainland Bistonia was now under a communist state, and the People's Republic of Crimsonia would have total control over most of mainland Bistonia for over another 10 years, this period was known as the last time the Crimsons had controlled most of mainland Bistonia, until the 1960s. Following the aftermath of the Second Great War, most of Bistonia had been heavily damaged by the war, as a majority of its infrastructure and agriculture had been destroyed following bombarding campaigns and the beginning of the Crimsonian Civil War, and a majority of the people in mainland Bistonia had either been starving or lived in poverty as a result of the war.
As a result of the damage brought on by the war, it did not take long enough until Gerasim Deyan would begin his reign of terror over Crimsonian Bistonia, as the newly founded Crimsonian secret police force had begun cracking down on political dissidents, and the ideals of an independent Bistonian state in order to consolidate his rule over the overseas territories in Crimsonia. This later on worsened, when the Crimsonian government would begin to restrain most things such as restraining religions within the country and banning them. Despite the ban, the Protestant and Catholic branches would continue functioning in both Northern and Southern Bistonia, but would never regain their presence and support by the majority of the people on mainland Bistonia. Other religions had been affected aswell such as Islam in West Bistonia, as authorities began the demolition of mosques and the banning of Islamic customs and traditions in an attempt to secularize the state. During the mid 1950s, Gerasim Deyan's policies had made significant progress in rebuilding most of mainland Bistonia, however, before he could oversee the rebuild of most of mainland Bistonia and the rest of Crimsonia, Gerasim Deyan passed away in the Union of Ruralia.
Following Gerasim Deyan's death in the Union of Ruralia in the mid 1950s, a new leadership comprised of hardline political members had taken over the country, and would then takeover Gerasim Deyan's national focus on rebuilding the country. Instead of continuing his devastating policies, the hardline leadership had made decisions to make policies which were even more devastating than the other as part of the economic reforms within their country, and would begin a series of rapid industrialization in mainland Crimsonia, with the help of resources from mainland Bistonia. Agriculture was then collectivized in most agricultural parts of Bistonia to sustain most of the country.
Prior to the events of 1956, mainland Bistonia had been mostly rebuilt, and life had been relatively normal. However, there were numerous setbacks, in which the truth had been hidden with the help of secret police. In New Vilnius and the city of Mazoji, conditions were worse compared to the capital city of Kradovo, as the cities had become rampant for disease and crime, in which the authorities had attempted to prevent it from happening. Projects as part of rebuilding cities in Bistonia would begin, and temporary housing was built across the nation to ease demands for housing, despite this, it was a temporary solution to a long term problem, as living conditions continue to deteriorate under the communist rule. The rebuilding of infrastructure all across the country had been largely slow, and Bistonia remained undeveloped with the majority of its agricultural harvest being poor. Ethnic tensions within mainland Bistonia, which had been a problem for over centuries, would pose a threat to a potentially prosperous Crimsonia, and authorities had attempted to keep the peace between the two people, these tensions would then ease and then freeze for a few years, but due to a series of religious reforms, the decline of religious faiths, and the Crimson minority dominating a majority of Bistonia's economy, strife within the country continued.
Despite Bistonia rapidly industrializing and economic reforms made by the Crimsonian government, this did not improve most of the agricultural sectors within Bistonia. As the agricultural sectors in mainland Crimsonia were enjoying better conditions and better equipment to produce food to sustain the entire country, the agriculture in mainland Bistonia had been mostly neglected, with the Crimsonian government turning a blind eye to those who had demanded for better working conditions. This resulted in a strife between the authorities and the farmers alike, and the farmers would oppose against collectivization, in which again, the Crimsonian government would turn a blind eye, and collectivization would continue. As the situation worsened and worsened, the farmers had no choice but to set fire towards their crops, slaughtered a majority of their livestock, resulting in communities being deprived of most of them in the rural areas of Bistonia, and led to a catastrophic event called the Great Famine of 1956.
====Great Famine (1956)====
Following the events which had occurred, which resulted in Bistonian farmers setting fire on their crops and slaughtering a majority of their livestock, the situation did not ease for them and resulted in a man-made famine in the year of 1956. The famine would then begin to spread throughout most Bistonian rural areas, and during the famines peak, the Great Famine of 1956 would spread all throughout most of Northern Bistonia and the plains of Southern Bistonia, however in urban areas and cities such as New Vilnius and Mazoji were unaffected. Despite the famine being worse in most of mainland Bistonia, Central Bistonia was severely struck by the famine. There had been several causes of the famine, with the main cause being the result of Crimsonia's incompetence within the development of Bistonia and the rapid collectivization of crops, including a series of economic reforms which had strained most of the labor in their overseas population. The second main cause of the famine, being mainly used by Crimsonian far-left groups, was opposition by farmers towards the Crimsonian government, by burning crops and slaughtering most of their livestock. 
As the Great Famine had peaked through late 1956, a majority of the populace in rural areas had died due to starvation, and tens of thousands suffered malnutrition. In an attempt to survive the brutal famine, the local population had been forced to eat what they had left in the village, such as mice, cats and dogs. This however was not enough, and thousands of villagers continue to die due to starvation. The bodies of villagers were then buried in mass pits scattered in the outskirts of the villages, and as the situation had worsened, the mass pits were then dug out, and villagers were forced to eat the corpses. Villages throughout most of mainland Bistonia were abandoned, and to some extent had been scorched by Crimsonian authorities. The Crimsonian government then eventually responded to the famine by providing aid to the local population with food and necessities, but it had not solved their problem and the Great Famine would continue for a series of months to come. As the Crimsonian authorities had no other way to ease the famine, they began covering up the famine, however before they could potentially cover up the famine, it had been too late as the words had been spread to New Vilnius and Mazoji. 
The Great Famine would end sometime during the beginning of the Bistonian Conflict in early 1957, although some had considered that the Great Famine would continue well into the Bistonian Conflict until the independence of Bistonia in 1960, by the time the famine had ended, over an estimated 600,000 - 900,000 Bistonian villagers had died due to starvation, malnutrition or by violent attacks carried out by other villages. Although some had claimed that the numbers had been lower, and the claims were exaggerated. It was also estimated that there were more who had died as a result of the famine, and approximately 1,000,000 had died as a result of the famine. In the end, the Great Famine would result in a series of demonstrations against the Crimsonian government, and would culminate in a civil war which led to the independence of Bistonia in 1960.
====Bistonian Conflict (1957 - 1960)====
On January 2nd 1957, demonstrations in small numbers began in coastal cities in Northern Bistonia, calling for action against Crimsonia's economic reforms and retaliation for the starvation of hundreds of thousands of villagers in rural areas. These small demonstrations, started by none other than students originating from universities, would then grow into larger demonstrations, and would then culminate and finally escalate on January 6th of 1957, when Crimsonian troops were then deployed to the demonstrations ordered by the Crimsonian government, and as a result of a series of mishaps, the first shots began. Crimsonian troops then sprayed through most of the crowds in New Vilnius, and ran to alleyways where Crimsonian troops then proceeded to chase and attempt to kill most of them. Media coverage of the incident had been widespread before the authorities could shut them off. The events which had occurred then reached global attention, with Thomas Cromwell responding to the violence on January 10th 3 days after the violence as a crime towards freedom by the Crimsonian government.
Resistance efforts began after the curfew ended on January 23rd 1957, when the Bistonian branch within the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army began to mutiny in protest against further efforts to quell down the violence in cities such as Kriadavia and New Vilnius. The populace then joined them in the mutinies, as some had stormed police stations and with the help of Crimsonian troops who defected, armed themselves to the teeth, and the city of New Vilnius was under control by Bistonian rebels, including the city of Kriadavia. Following the takeover of the cities, a politician by the name of Elijas Simonas, an activist for Bistonian independence, had rallied on the people to continue the civil war no matter what the circumstances, and would begin a civil war against the People's Republic of Crimsonia in mainland Bistonia, beginning the Bistonian Conflict. On the other side, in the Crimsonian overseas provinces such as Wilnotarn and Arshturn, similar resistance groups began rising up in the rural majority Lithuanian areas of Eastern Arshturn, and some began rising up in Eastern Wilnotarn, but they were nowhere successful as the resistance movement in mainland Bistonia. Throughout most of 1957, Bistonian rebels gained significant ground in Northern Bistonia, and now connected with resistance from the city of Kriadavia. The Crimsonian People's Liberation Army was overwhelmed and although there were successful counterattacks, a majority of their equipment had been deserted and repurposed by Bistonian rebels. The following year in 1957, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations provided a solution to the conflict by deploying peacekeepers to the region, which was refused by the Crimsonian government, and in response they would impose further sanctions which crippled Crimsonia's economy, since they had split from the Eastern Bloc. 
The Bistonian resistance in Eastern Wilnotarn failed, however there was significant progress by Bistonian resistance in Eastern Arshturn, as they broke through the city of Ribolov, the only city in Arshturn, and if they had captured it most of Arshturn would be under control by resistance. Ribolov was then shelled by artillery from the Bistonian frontlines as resistance had launched attacks towards Crimsonian troops stationed in the city. Local businesses and buildings which were undamaged by the bombs were then set on fire, and the city was almost in flames entirely. Bistonian resistance units then reached to the ports of Ribolov, where they brought significant damage and had nearly killed Jargus IV, who was in exile in Arshturn since 1946 and would be injured as a result of the attack. Resistance declined as Crimsonian troops then shifted their focus in Arshturn and Wilnotarn and then eventually mainland Bistonia, and crushed Bistonian resistance on the island before 1958 and the command had been purged. As a result of this, the Gohrsa was founded as a group to help resistance members, Lithuanian inhabitants and fugitives to flee mainland Bistonia, and Jargus IV disappeared from his house with the help of the faction. By the end of the 1950s, the Gohrsa was dissolved. 
On mainland Crimsonia, the leadership within the Crimsonian government was stressed out. Ilya Zhivkov, the newly elected chairman of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, had made a statement in the year of 1958 following the capture of most of Northern Bistonia, demanding that the demonstrations would stop including the resistance movements in exchange for financial and aid towards Bistonian civilians, and would open negotiations and deals with Elijas Simonas, in which Elijas Simonas had politely declined, claiming that he had saw through Ilya Zhivkov and his lies, and had made sure that everyone did not believe in most of what he had said, in which a majority had turned a blind eye till in the 1980s, when he had been right the whole time. Mainland Crimsonia's economy was facing a crippling blow and their resources had been depleted as a result of the civil war in mainland Bistonia, prices began inflating and demonstrations had began in which it was brought down. Thomas Cromwell then sent an ultimatum to the People's Republic of Crimsonia which would expire by the year of 1960, demanding them to bog down or otherwise face invasion. This would then result in a domino effect and a potential of a nuclear war, and this ultimatum was not taken seriously. The Mesothemian Organization then took the situation into their own hands and proceeded to intervene, and provided arms and support for Elijas Simonas and the resistance movement.
In Southern Bistonia, where Bistonian resistance had not reached towards yet, the situation had been dire. Demonstrations began spreading in most of the rural areas and the city of Mazoji, and Southern Bistonia later on fell into anarchy which would further plunge the Crimsonian army into further exhaustion, as they continued to fight in the frontlines of the war. Tens of thousands of Crimsonian soldiers then deserted, and by the beginning of 1958, Bistonian rebels had seized Jargus IV from the port city of Kriadavia after he was reported missing in Ribolov, further angering the Crimsonian administration. Hundreds of thousands of people would then begin to flee to the St. Ark Federation, where they would live temporarily during the course of the war. In the territories currently controlled by Bistonian rebels, it was clear that the Crimsonian military suffered most losses, as trucks, artillery and equipment would be abandoned and scattered alongside the roads. By 1958, it was clear Bistonian resistance was on the verge of reaching towards the city of Kagengrad, which was a majority Crimsonian city in West Bistonia, and Crimsonian troops were too stretched along the frontlines to counterattack the rebels. 
In the year of 1959, the Bistonian Conflict would reach its final phase. The city of Kagengrad was captured by Bistonian rebels after a brief siege of the city, and further advancements were made. The Bistonian Conflict would then reach to the region of Southern Bistonia, where forests had been set on fire as an attempt to force out Bistonian rebels from hiding, and Crimsonian troops would begin a purge towards farmers in Southern Bistonia, which then led them to join the resistance movement. By this point, the People's Republic of Crimsonia was on the verge of losing the civil war, and most counteroffensives had failed. This further accelerated by the beginning of 1960, when Bistonian rebels then launched a final offensive which had forced Crimsonian troops to withdraw, and a chunk of territory including most of Western Bistonia had fell under the rule of Bistonian rebels. By this point, the ultimatum was going to expire, and Ilya Zhivkov, following a series of paranoia for mutinies, then proceeded to open negotiations with Elijas Simonas, and a ceasefire was finally announced following immense pressure globally.
The following year in 1960, Elijas Simonas and Ilya Zhivkov, including officials from the United States of Megaton and Columbia, arranged a meeting to sign a treaty after the ceasefire in the city of New Vilnius, and after a brief period, Ilya Zhivkov and Elijas Simonas finally signed a peace treaty. Following this, the ceasefire had broke in Southern Bistonia, and war continued for another hour until the sounds of gunfire and artillery had ended, and peace was finally ensured. In the treaty, the People's Republic of Crimsonia was then forced to recognize the independence of Bistonia, and grant territory rightfully belonging to Bistonia. Ilya Zhivkov then agreed to handover most of Southern Bistonia and two islands located east of mainland Bistonia, with Crimsonia keeping the rest, such as Bistonian Shingleton, the Scattered Islands Archipelago, and finally, Wilnotarn and Arshturn. The meeting had ended, and the plans had been finalized. Crimsonia would maintain a presence for another few months in Southern Bistonia and their troops would be stationed along the former frontlines, till they were finally ordered to withdraw weeks before Bistonia's independence.
In mid-1960, a huge ceremony in New Vilnius had occurred to celebrate the independence of Bistonia. Elijas Simonas arrived at the New Vilnius City Hall in the morning to announce the declaration of the Republic of Bistonia as an independent, recognized and sovereign state. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in New Vilnius to celebrate it's independence. The flag of Crimsonia, which continued to fly for another few years at the city state, was then lowered and the Bistonian flag then flew in its place, officially declaring Bistonia as independent. This marked the end of the Bistonian Conflict, which had lasted a painful 3 years, and marked the beginning of an independent state by Bistonians since over 3 centuries ago. Despite Bistonia being an independent sovereign state, Crimsonia was now coping under a dire situation, and as a result Crimsonia attempted to form a federation of autonomous states, such as the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic, and the Crimsonian Autonomous Socialist Republic. 
===Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic (1960 - 1961)===
See also: State of Bistonian ShingletonThe Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic (aka. Bistonija Šingletonas Autonominė Socialistinė Respublika) was a rump autonomous socialist republic established in June 1960 following the aftermath of the Bistonian Conflict, as Crimsonia had been paranoid of their overseas territories seceding from the country. Despite being promised as a autonomous republic, the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic would begin under a series of instability, as violent rebel groups rose up and began attacks following the anarchy which had spread from Southern Bistonia. The Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic, would be seen as an example of Crimsonia's failing reforms in forming a federal socialist republic. Following a series of instability, a referendum was held in Shinglederry, which resulted in the dissolution of the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic, as Bistonian Shingleton seceded from Crimsonia and joined the Republic of Bistonia in September 1960, only 3 months after its establishment. 
The Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic was granted autonomy and then established on June 1960 to secure secession and stop further nationalism within the region. The following month, the People's Republic of Crimsonia would provide guarantees for autonomy, including a fair and equal system within the state as seen by the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic. Despite the guarantees, the autonomous republic eventually fell under turmoil, when in the following month demonstrations would further descend Crimsonia's remaining grip on the cities into anarchy, and due to the lack of any services, authority collapsed. This resulted in Crimsonian troops being deployed to Shinglederry and other cities, in order to quell violence in the unstable state which would fail the following month. Insurgencies by Bistonian groups would then further escalate tensions within the city, and gathered hundreds of explosives to destroy most of Crimsonia's supply lines, bridges and roads. This resulted in Crimsonian troops unable to travel thoughout the communities easily, and would exhaust a majority of the manpower. this also enabled more time for people to gather more arms and in July 1960 protests would soon turn into rebellions.
Eventually, after the instability of the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic, the People's Republic of Crimsonia had finally settled upon an agreement towards insurgency groups and in July 1960 peace would eventually stall the civil uprising in Bistonian Shingleton and in August 1960, a referendum was held in which people would decide the fate of Bistonian Shingleton for the future and ended weeks after, as a result 76% of people voted to join the Republic of Bistonia while 20% voted to remain within the People's Republic of Crimsonia, with 4% of people voting for an independent Bistonian Shingleton state and eventually in the end of the referendum the People's Republic of Crimsonia guaranteed that a peaceful withdrawal would come and that the Republic of Bistonia would incorporate the island of Bistonian Shingleton as a state. In September 1960, the People's Republic of Crimsonia and all of its forces remaining within Bistonian Shingleton and many of its officials would withdraw from Bistonian Shingleton and would result in hundreds of people being killed in the process, with Crimsonia stating it as alleged violence against many of its officials and troops and that they were simply killed for their own defence and in the following day the Republic of Bistonia and many of its forces and officials began moving into Bistonian Shingleton as a process of incorporation within the new republic and the next day the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic would be de facto abolished and Bistonian Shingleton would join the Republic of Bistonia.
===Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic (1960 - 1990) ===
See also: Wilnotarn and ArshturnIn the year 1960, the Republic of Bistonia gained independence from the People's Republic of Crimsonia after the Bistonian Conflict. However, despite the Crimsonian government making promises, it refused to hand over territory such as Wilnotarn, Arshturn and Bistonian Shingleton to the Republic of Bistonia, and as a result Bistonian officials affiliated with the Crimsonian Communist Party took advantage by fleeing to the island of Wilnotarn and moving the remnants of Crimsonian Bistonia to the city of Kraibrezhen, the following year the Crimsonian government began to create a socialist federation using many of its remaining overseas territories. This led to a proposal being made by Bistonian officials to create the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic along with the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic. It was then accepted by the Crimsonian government and in 1960 the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic was established.
In 1961, the city of Kraibrezhen was declared as the capital of the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic, and then the following year the Crimsonian government then gave Arshturn to the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic. During its early years as a an autonomous region, it was unstable as economic reforms and agricultural reforms which contributed to much worser conditions in the Lithuanian inhabited villages and because of the Bistonian conflict, sentiment against Lithuanians rose again. In the early 70s, Wilnotarn became an important location and it was used as a base to help with the fighting during the Greco-Crimsonian War. Which Crimsonia managed to defeat Greece and completely destroy their navy, and Crimsonia began increasing their influence surrounding the Bistonian Sea, it was also where most of the Crimsonian Navy resides.
In the year 1987, months before the outbreak of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, Wilnotarn became the hotspot for Bistonian intelligence until 1990. In 16th July 1987, the People's Republic of Crimsonia officially declared war on the Republic of Bistonia, marking the beginning of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, because of the manpower needed to invade Bistonia, men from Wilnotarn volunteered to also join the war and a unit was also formed for them, after West Bistonia was occupied and seized from Bistonian troops, the Crimsonian government had attempted to incorporate the West Bistonian Socialist Republic into the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic, however after decisions were made, it was decided not to incorporate the West Bistonian Socialist Republic or the Bistonian People's Republic into the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic for unknown reasons, another attempt was made by Bistonian officials to revive the plan, but the proposal was rejected. 
By September 1989, Crimsonia was nearly pushed out of Bistonia, as they had exhausted their troops to the point they had been weakened to take back the territories, and after the Vilnius Offensive had ended up in complete failure, Crimsonian troops withdrew from mainland Bistonia out of fear and as a result the West Bistonian Socialist Republic was left to deal with the war against Bistonia, and as a result the state collapsed, which resulted in the West Bistonian Islamic Front to take over the remaining territories. Crimsonia had completely withdrew from mainland Bistonia including Wilnotarn and Arshturn and the Crimsonian administration announced and guaranteed that the fight will continue to assert their dominance over the Bistonian Sea again and not lose hope after the partial liberation of Bistonia.
Later on, the Free Bistonian Army along with the Bistonian Armed Forces planned a full scale invasion of Wilnotarn and Arshturn in an attempt to force Crimsonia into surrounding, and potentially annex and incorporate Wilnotarn before the democratic government would be established. while others retaliated and considered it risky, some had took the chance in the invasion. In December 19th 1989 in the morning, the Bistonian Armed Forces began their bombardment campaigns across the coast, 20 minutes after the bombardment at 9:30, ground forces landed off the coasts of Wilnotarn, capturing many of the coastal cities without fierce resistance by Crimsonian troops, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations had condemned the invasion, but because of certain reasons, they had left Bistonia to invade the province. As the Crimsonian-Bistonian War stretched into 1990, Crimsonian troops were desperate, it had attempt to hold back and resist against the invading Bistonian troops with the assistance of local forces left behind in the occupied territories, but they had been crushed. As Bistonian troops were making advancements into the island, Lithuanian locals in Wilnotarn began cheering on the streets as Bistonia invaded the rest of the territories. By January 3rd 1990, most of Southern Wilnotarn came under Bistonian control as curfew was placed including several checkpoints to avoid any potential bomb attacks. Government forces and communist monuments in the occupied territories were destroyed by Bistonian troops and Lithuanian locals. Several vital highways leading to Kraibrezhen were captured, and in Northern Wilnotarn the situation had turned desperate, as civillians attempted to flee the island.
In April 1990, after several clashes against Crimsonian troops, Bistonian troops entered the city of Kraibrezhen with fierce resistance, and in the afternoon hours, Bistonian troops arrived to government offices and many Crimsonian officials had attempted to leave the city, but they were struck by rockets and gunfire. Tanks moved into government facilities where Crimsonian flags were then taken off and a Bistonian flag was placed. Afterwards the city of Kraibrezhen had been finally secured, marking the end of the invasion of Wilnotarn, later on the People's Republic of Crimsonia surrendered to the Republic of Bistonia, marking the end of the war. In May 1990, a month after the fall of Kraibrezhen and the capitulation of Crimsonia, Crimsonian officials returned to Kraibrezhen to sign the Treaty of Kraibrezhen, which resulted in the official dissolution of the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Republic. The treaty of Kraibrezhen was to be in effect in May 5th 1991. It also forced Crimsonia to recognize the annexation of Wilnotarn.
===Republic of Bistonia (1960 - 1988)===
Bistonia would later on have their independence restored as a sovereign state, after nearly 300 years of colonial rule and domination by Crimsonians and the Beyliks. Despite independence being granted, there would be challenges to face for the future state, such as the centuries of colonial influence, and divisions continuing to influence most parts of Bistonia, including politics of Bistonia. The Crimsonian minority, living mostly in Kagengrad and in almost all villages of West Bistonia, would become the marginalized ethnic group in Bistonia, and would oppose Bistonia's independence, and would demand the total independence and secession of West Bistonia from the rest of the country. In the year of 1961, Bistonia's first presidential elections were held, becoming the first one in Bistonia's history since independence. Elijas Simonas, the father of modern Bistonia, would win a majority of the votes, and became elected as Bistonia's first president. 
Eventually, after the instability of the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic, the People's Republic of Crimsonia had finally settled upon an agreement towards insurgency groups and in July 1960 peace would eventually stall the civil uprising in Bistonian Shingleton and in August 1960, a referendum was held in which people would decide the fate of Bistonian Shingleton for the future and ended weeks after, as a result 76% of people voted to join the Republic of Bistonia while 20% voted to remain within the People's Republic of Crimsonia, with 4% of people voting for an independent Bistonian Shingleton state and eventually in the end of the referendum the People's Republic of Crimsonia guaranteed that a peaceful withdrawal would come and that the Republic of Bistonia would incorporate the island of Bistonian Shingleton as a state. In September 1960, the People's Republic of Crimsonia and all of its forces remaining within Bistonian Shingleton and many of its officials would withdraw from Bistonian Shingleton and would result in hundreds of people being killed in the process, with Crimsonia stating it as alleged violence against many of its officials and troops and that they were simply killed for their own defence and in the following day the Republic of Bistonia and many of its forces and officials began moving into Bistonian Shingleton as a process of incorporation within the new republic and the next day the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic would be de facto abolished and Bistonian Shingleton would join the Republic of Bistonia.
The following year, the Republic of Bistonia entered the Commonwealth of the United and Free Nations, and became a member. It was also fully recognized by other countries, and following Crimsonia's exit and isolation from the rest of the Eastern Bloc, the Union of Orchestran and the rest of the Eastern Bloc countries later on recognized the Republic of Bistonia as an independence sovereign state. Despite all this, Crimsonia would continue to refuse the recognize Bistonia as a sovereign legitimate state, often only recognizing their claims over the mainland. In 1962, a mostly controversial, and colossal project known as the New Vilnius Research Facility, was constructed which had costed over billions of dollars, with a majority of the funding mostly originating from the government of the United States of Megaton and Columbia. Bistonia would also begin a nuclear weapons program, something in which was initially condemned, but following Crimsonia's success of the creation of a nuclear bomb by reverse engineering, the Republic of Bistonia was provided support including funding from private banks. In 1964, one of the most prominent and largest doomsday cult group known as The Void, would gain popularity and eventually spread globally thanks to the ideas of stopping nuclear arms, with their headquarters located in New Vilnius, as the Republic of Bistonia's constitution had stated little to no restrictions on cults and allowed complete religious freedom. In the year of 1965, Elijas Simonas, after serving 5 years as the president of Bistonia and winning his second term, died in office from the cirrhosis of the liver. The entire nation would mourn his death for days, and was provided a state funeral where his casket was carried around the city before he was later on buried with full honors. Bistonia would enter through an economic boom, with the Bistonian Provis having equal value with other currencies around Western Mesothemia, and the average Bistonian family often earning around 80,000 dollars a year. 
In the year of 1967, the Republic of Bistonia would establish greater ties with the St. Ark Federation, improving relations. The Federation became a prominent ally of Bistonia, and for the establishment of greater ties between the two nations, the Green Line Transit System was later on constructed which would extend to Bistonia on Moylston Island. Before the establishment of greater ties between the two countries, the St. Ark Federation and Bistonia would both make radical proposals to unite the two countries into one united federation, with the proposal being known as the Greater Federation. This was however a failure, and went nowhere. The sentiment later on died out following tensions and the subsequent election of Rodney Faron Lenn, but temporarily became a thing following the Federation War, before dying out after the subsequent coup d'etat initiated by Fred Goldlock, but later on revived following the Reformation Era from 1990 to 1995, and would become once again a proposal in the modern era. 
The Great Purification began in 1972 in the city of New Vilnius in the afternoon, as members of the Concept Void began gathering weapons to raid the main headquarters of the Underground Void, eventually the raid of the main headquarters was considered a success and the Concept Void seized the main headquarters of the Underground Void, losing their main center of command, eventually throughout several countries, the Concept Void began using their members to form militia groups to tackle down the Underground Void and convince the group to merge with them back together, eventually hundreds of influential members, conspiracy theorists and many other innocent members of the Underground Void were shot, kidnapped, and missing, however the group was unaware of the attacks made by the Concept Void, however they attempt to retaliate in the middle of the Democratic Republic of Sidan and succeeded in destroying the presence of the Concept Void in Sidan.
====Escalating tensions with the St. Ark Federation (1968 - 1974)====
Since the 1960s, the Republic of Bistonia was once a prominent ally of the St. Ark Federation, till Rodney Faron Lenn took power in the year of 1968. Since then, the St. Ark Federation's diplomatic relations with the Republic of Bistonia began to deteriorate in a slow process, until the decline further escalated when Rodney introduced policies discriminating against the Lithuanian minority living in the country. The Bistonian government then responded to the policies and condemned Rodney and his recent statement regarding the minority in the country, with the Bistonian government calling Rodney a deranged lunatic who took power and pulled barbaric acts in the name of God, and stated that Rodney does not represent the masses nor did he represent for the religion himself. These responses would result in escalating tensions, and rivalry between the two countries. On both sides and media coming from both countries, Bistonian television would portray Rodney in an insulting caricature, and then both governments would then argue and debate over the status of Bistonian Shingleton, an island divided by ethnicity. Following a series of attacks which were carried out by Rodney's cult of personality towards Protestant churches in the St. Ark Federation, the Republic of Bistonia condemned the act, and suspended their diplomatic relations with the St. Ark Federation.
Although the St. Ark Federation and Bistonia's relations had been suspended, there was no coming back, although a glimmer of hope for Bistonia's future together with the Federation was there, as Clement Rian Jarrett was facing Rodney Faron Lenn in the 1973 presidential elections. Clement Rian Jarrett, was an open critic and condemned most of Rodney's policies, and was in the Liberal Progressive Party, a centre left political party within the St. Ark Federation. Bistonia unconditionally supported him and wished him luck on the elections for his bravery. However, after the ballots were counted, and Rodney Faron Lenn was declared the winner of the election, Clement lost the election. Although Bistonia had been upset as they had highly anticipated him to win, the Bistonian government continued to back him, even portraying him in media as the savior of a country having its democracy threatened, and suspected foul play being involved. The glimmer of hope continued, until it was diminished after Clement Rian Jarrett had been murdered with a shotgun to the chest within his mansion. Rodney denied the claims of plotting an assassination on Clement, with Bistonia condemning the assassination and sending condolences for Clement, while then pointing the blame on Rodney Lenn.
Into Rodney's second term, Rodney would then try and meet his promises again, by trying to revive the economy of the country, which would become a recipe for disaster as the economy further plunged into a deep crisis. Fuel shortages continued to run rampant throughout the country, and Rodney had no choice but to resort to most of its former ally, the Republic of Bistonia. Prior to the events of that, the Republic of Bistonia had discovered oil deposits in the Bistonian Sea, in which the Federation had needed badly in order to recover from the fuel crisis which had badly devastated the country. The St. Ark Federation would then send a proposal to the Bistonia wishing that Bistonia would provide barrels of oil to the country as part of a relief for the country, in which the Republic of Bistonia declined. Following this, Rodney Lenn, after being denied and condemned by its neighboring country, would then threaten war on the Republic of Bistonia, which led to global outrage which had went nowhere as the United States of Megaton and Columbia gave support to the Federation. The Republic of Bistonia would then respond with economic sanctions, which had then further plunged the country into a crisis as the lack of necessities had made people's lives unbearable, and the sanctions resulted in the Federation being depleted of any oil and resources from the Bistonian Sea.
Following the events which had happened, the St. Ark Federation would then deploy most of their battleships near Bistonia's maritime borders, which led to media coverage in mainland Bistonia on the morning of February 3rd 1974, not long after Rodney Lenn entered into his second term. The Republic of Bistonia, following threats received by Rodney Lenn, would take this seriously, and condemned Rodney and ordered his ships to withdraw from the sea. Rodney Lenn, who had been recently stressed out by the economic sanctions, would then issue a statement denying the supposed invasion and sabotaging Bistonian presence on the sea. As things began turning into suspicion, the Bistonian Navy would then deploy most of its forces on the Bistonian Sea, in hopes of defending their presence on the Bistonian Sea and the important oil deposits found. On the Scattered Islands Archipelago, where the epicenter of the fiasco was located, civilians were worried of an all out war breaking out, as a future war would potentially interrupt their main sources of necessities. The Bistonian Navy would send direct signal messages to the battleships, which had been crossing into the maritime borders of Bistonia.
There were attempts to avoid a future war from brewing in the St. Ark Federation and the Republic of Bistonia, as an emergency meeting was declared within the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, regarding the future war on Bistonia. The Commonwealth of United and Free Nations would then condemn Rodney Lenn's deployment of battleships along the Bistonian Sea, calling the future war as no means of being justified. In exchange for Rodney Lenn not declaring war on the Republic of Bistonia, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations could've had provided relief funds and barrels of oil to the St. Ark Federation, and put an end to the conflict once and for all. This however, did not convince Rodney Lenn and the St. Ark Federation itself, with Rodney Lenn claiming that this was a military drill being performed on the sea, but would accept the relief funds if the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations did not order him to withdraw. At this point, all hopes of negotiating with the St. Ark Federation was gone, and only war was the final answer and only thing that the St. Ark Federation wanted, in return for oil. Along with this, the United States of Megaton and Columbia, a prominent ally of the St. Ark Federation, would then send diplomats to the capital city of Heightsbound in an attempt to convince the St. Ark Federation to avoid the war, claiming that the justification for war was useless and would only bring more misery and suffering. Despite this, the St. Ark Federation refused to negotiate, and ignored the warnings and consequences of the war.
On the other hand back home in the St. Ark Federation, tens of thousands of people would gather in demonstration towards the war, but would later on be crushed and brutally put down by the St. Ark government. And on the opposite sides, a huge majority of people would support Rodney Faron Lenn and called for the declaration of war against the Bistonian government. Things in the St. Ark Federation began heating up, and things were not looking good for Rodney Faron Lenn. Because of this, his supporters would initiate a purge of those who were activists, and had a majority of them hanged in parks. By April 1974, the riots had died down, and Rodney Faron Lenn's decision to declare war was now clear. Next month, prior to that on May 16th 1974, attacks on Bistonian Shingleton occurred, although mostly common at the time following civil unrest, it was instead a military base which had been violently attacked, and by this point, the Republic of Bistonia was ready for war than ever. On May 18th 1974, Rodney Faron Lenn would then issue a statement officially declaring war on the Republic of Bistonia, beginning the 2 year long, painful event known as the Federation War.
====Federation War (1974 - 1976)====
See also: Federation WarAn hour had passed after Rodney Faron Lenn declared war on the Republic of Bistonia, with the St. Ark navy occupying the Bistonian portion of the Scattered Islands Archipelago, then seizing a part of the Bistonian Sea, leaving Bistonia's presence and portion over the sea limited east of the sea, where there were defensive positions set up by the Bistonian Navy. Although the Bistonian Navy had handled the situation well, and had sunken over two ships during the early course of the war and a possible invasion onto mainland Bistonia was low, the defenses would only last for 3 days, as they had left the Bistonian Shingleton corridor mostly undefended. The St. Ark Federation would then begin to take advantage of this gap, with troops landing on the island of Bistonian Shingleton, marking the beginning of the ground invasion. Back home, Rodney Faron Lenn, had finally consolidated his power over the St. Ark Federation, and initiated a state of emergency including prosecuting those who demonstrated against the war. On Bistonian Shingleton, Bistonian units were deployed to the island to counterattack them, but some of the units deployed had been outnumbered by the larger enemy forces advancing through the island, and the Bistonian Armed Forces were then forced to retreat from the island of Bistonian Shingleton. This would become a major victory back home in the St. Ark Federation, and following the occupation of the island, Rodney Faron Lenn would uncover a series of plans which would ensure that the Catholic majority region of South Bistonia would be annexed into the St. Ark Federation, including the Bistonian Sea. Resistance would continue in Bistonian Shingleton after the fall, which would result in a series of bombing campaigns in Shinglederry, and during this point, St. Ark troops would then begin a series of massacres throughout the islands, massacring the Lithuanian minority on the island and burning most of their communities.
After the fall of Bistonian Shingleton, the St. Ark Federation would commence Operation West Bistonia, which would according to the St. Ark Federation, overstretch Bistonian forces and relieve most of their forces fighting in the south. This operation was however, was estimated to be a potential failure, as the St. Ark Armed Forces were not capable of such a massive operation, but would be commenced on the day of July 15th 1974, with St. Ark units rushing through the southern regions of West Bistonia after completely seizing the Silavetra Peninsula. After West Bistonia almost fell, the St. Ark Armed Forces would face fierce fighting and stiff resistance from Bistonia, but managed to secure parts of Southwestern Bistonia, but at a pyrrhic victory, as they failed to break through the defence lines up north. Operation West Bistonia was both a success and a failure by the St. Ark Armed Forces, but during this period, stalemates would begin to become frequent. The St. Ark Armed Forces would then gain another series of victories against the Republic of Bistonia during the Federation War, in an operation known as Moneta. This was considered to be a final blow for the Bistonian Armed Forces, and the St. Ark Armed Forces anticipated them to surrender after the operation. The main goal for Moneta, was to capture the main and second largest city in Bistonia, Mazoji, which had been heavily defended by the Bistonian Armed Forces, and a risky operation towards the St. Ark Armed Forces. As the war dragged onto 1975, it would begin the following year on April 9th, as the St. Ark Armed Forces would bombard defensive lines and seize most of the main loads leading into the city. The St. Ark Armed Forces then sustained heavy losses, as hundreds of troops would die in weeks. On April 11th, the Bistonian Armed Forces then withdrew from the city of Mazoji, leaving behind weapons and equipment for resistance to eventually pick up and defend the city. The St. Ark Armed Forces then arrived to the city of Mazoji, capturing downtown Mazoji with heavy resistance from the civilian population. In the end, Bistonia's second largest city was captured, but despite the success, Bistonia had refused to surrender, declaring that they will fight to the end.
Throughout most of 1975, it was now revealed that the St. Ark Federation was on the verge of losing a pointless war, and would then begin to decline from there on, with the beginning of the Battle of the Bistonian Sea, months after Operation Moneta. Between the mostly intact Bistonian Navy and the St. Ark Navy, which had been technologically superior compared to the Bistonian Navy. Heavy clashes began, which then escalated to a massive battle. Despite being superior, the St. Ark navy was on the verge of losing, as most of their ships had now sunk, with the Bistonian Navy only sustaining minimal losses. 5 ships belonging to the St. Ark Navy were sunk, which were a majority of the ships stationed in the Bistonian Sea, with the exception being Torpetta. However, this was then sunk near the Scattered Islands Archipelago, as it was shot by a torpedo and partially capsized and sunk. In the end, the St. Ark Navy was forced to retreat from the Bistonian Sea, beginning a series of huge losses in the Federation War, as the St. Ark Armed Forces were now trapped inside mainland Bistonia and surrounded by Bistonian troops. This then culminated in the beginning of Operation Nagorsk, commenced by the Bistonian Armed Forces. The St. Ark Armed Forces were then weakened following Operation Nagorsk, as they sustained heavy losses, and weakened their occupation presence in West Bistonia which would set the path for a revolution which would begin. In the region of Mazoji, Operation Nagorsk was devastating, as the roads leading to Mazoji were now littered with landmines, and littered with damaged vehicles.
Months had passed, and in the middle of 1975, not long after the events of Operation Nagorsk, the incompetence of the military and the weakening of its command would result in the West Bistonian Revolution, which occurred in the occupied city of Kagengrad, located 2 miles away from the Bistonian frontlines, weakening troops stationed in the city. As the situation had worsened for the St. Ark Armed Forces, the generals had ordered the complete withdrawal from the city of Kagengrad, allowing it to be captured by Bistonian troops which had resumed operations along the West Bistonian front after Operation Nagorsk. This however was a temporary solution, as the revolt spread throughout most of their occupied regions within days, overwhelming most of St. Ark's military. In the end, the West Bistonian Revolution had been a success, and what Bistonian forces had uncovered in West Bistonia would eventually become an example of what the war had become for the St. Ark Federation. Following the events of the revolt, disagreements had been made between those in the St. Ark Armed Forces, and disputes eventually came resulting in an internal civil war between the divisions stationed in the occupied territories. St. Ark troops would then eventually began deserting and thousands would began defecting to the Bistonian Armed Forces, and as the situation for St. Ark worsened, troops would be forced to cannibalize most of their own, the example being William Mason Noah, a former veteran of the Federation War which had been forced to cannibalize his deceased enemy after having no food for over a few days.
As the frontlines eventually collapsed, along with authority within the occupied territories, news began spreading back to the mainland, in which Rodney Faron Lenn responded with the mobilization of most of the reserve forces to mainland Bistonia, deploying over a thousand personnel to secure the frontlines once again and put down a majority of the resistance in the occupied territories. Because of the extreme brutality as a result of the mutinies, one soldier had described that a majority of the soldiers came out of the fields broken and wretched to the point they had to put them out of misery, resulting in an internal purge of approximately 40,000 armed personnel. The generals, which were responsible for the mutiny itself, were then sent back to the mainland, where they were fired and then executed by gunfire with orders from Rodney Faron Lenn. As the mutiny had ended, the situation for the St. Ark Federation was already too dire and it was late for the St. Ark Federation to continue operations into the mainland, and they had lost a substantial amount of their occupied territories. A majority of the equipment by these divisions were also left behind in the fields, leaving them to a majority of the population to seize the weapons and begin revolts deep into the occupied territories. By the end of the mutiny, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations began their involvement in the Federation War, sending diplomats to the St. Ark Federation to negotiate with Rodney Faron Lenn and his government to halt their operations, and withdraw from mainland Bistonia. Despite the ultimatums being received towards the St. Ark Federation, Rodney Faron Lenn did not take this seriously, and as a result declined. The following month, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations signed an agreement with the Bistonian government, allowing the deployment of thousands of peacekeepers to mainland Bistonia, where they were stationed to keep the peace and prevent genocide from happening in the war.
In late 1975, the St. Ark Federation was finally close to having the final nail in the coffin in the Federation War, as the Bistonian Armed Forces began taking advantage of the weakness of the St. Ark Armed Forces, by recapturing highways and towns located nearby Mazoji, the second largest city in mainland Bistonia, and one of St. Ark's most strategically important cities in the war. Despite being on the verge of losing. the St. Ark Federation had declared that they were not going to leave without a fight, and would defend the city till the last man. They would then reinforce most of the frontlines located next to the city, with temporary defenses being set up. This was however, a major failure, as they had left the sewer systems unattended, in which the Bistonian Armed Forces began taking advantage of, and would lead them to emerge from the sewers and attack troops stationed in the city. Eventually, the chaotic events which occurred in Mazoji forced a majority of the divisions to retreat into the city, but this however was a planned trap, as the Bistonian Armed Forces pushed deep into the surroundings of Mazoji, resulting in a majority of the divisions being trapped inside the city. Bistonian forces would then begin to breach defenses located north of the city, and eventually captured the northern parts of the city. Both sides began bombarding eachother, and river crossings to the other parts of the city were destroyed. This would begin the events of the Siege of Mazoji, resulting in a 2 month long battle between the Bistonian Armed Forces and the St. Ark Armed Forces.
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, several blocks in Mazoji fell under Bistonian control, and after Bistonian units broke through central Mazoji, SAAF units trapped in the city were forced to surrender to Bistonian troops, becoming a complete humiliation for the St. Ark Federation in the war. In the end, the liberation of Mazoji was declared a victory, and following the events, it did not take long for the frontlines to collapse into territories once again into bickering factions, that would then resort to survival.
After the frontline collapsed, the Bistonian Armed Forces began their operations further south, and secured the major roads leading to the Silavetra Peninsular. As the war had reached into 1976, it was very clear that the St. Ark Federation was on the verge of losing the war, despite many attempts made by Rodney Faron Lenn's government to convince the general populace that they had made significant progress against Bistonian forces. Due to the lack of command from the St. Ark Armed Forces, and the stiff resistance, the Bistonian Armed Forces secured many of these roads to the Silavetra Peninsula with ease, but this did not stop most troops, as some had deserted to form their own factions in the plains, where they would continue fighting the war in the hopes of winning it. Eventually, the St. Ark Armed Forces would make one of their last stands on the island of Bistonian Shingleton, the last held territory by the St. Ark Federation. Heavy fighting occurred along the coasts of Bistonian Shingleton, and on April 1976, Bistonian troops landed on Bistonian Shingleton, capturing towns and on the verge of besieging the city of Shinglederry. As they continued to lose more and more of their held territory, the military administration in Bistonian Shingleton was immediately dissolved, and many of their officials left the island in the hope of returning back home. After over a week of resistance, the Bistonian Armed Forces captured New Jefferson, one of the last holdouts. In the end, the Bistonian Armed Forces had completely pushed the St. Ark Federation from their territories, with the St. Ark Armed Forces not continuing operations to recapture many of the territories lost.
In the end, the St. Ark Federation had completely lost the war. On June 1976, officials of Rodney Faron Lenn's government and the Bistonian government gathered in New Shingleton to discuss peace terms, and on the following day, signed the treaty of New Shingleton, which guaranteed the complete end of the war between the two nations which had lasted for only 2 years. The St. Ark Federation would turn in a majority of the generals and personnel involved in the war, including so called weapons of mass destruction, and to pay heavy reparations for the Bistonian government. It was also forced to recognize Bistonia's control over the Bistonian Sea, and withdraw claims and revoke disputes and claims on their maritime borders. It also had to limit their amount of ships they had possessed, from 150 to only over 45. The treaty was ratified, and the St. Ark Federation was forced to accept these claims otherwise the war would've continued, and had already suffered massive losses. The treaty would soon expire in the year of 1993, almost 20 years after the war.

The Crimsonian-Bistonian War started in 1987 and throughout the events of New Shingleton, Bistonia is in a dire situation and is wartorn, the Republic of Bistonia was dissolved after a coup in 1988, and the occupation by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, and the Bistonian-Shingleton conflict worsening the situation of the war.
===Vilnius Coup and the dissolution of the Republic of Bistonia (1988)===
In the years of 1988, things were desperate in the Republic of Bistonia, the people in Kriadavia began to protest against the government for neglecting them, and in the city of New Vilnius the consequences of the war were worsening, streets were empty and were constantly bombarded by the Crimsonian air force to force the population and the army to surrender in the city.
The Bistonian army took advantage of the situation and in February 13th the military tookover New Vilnius and detained the president including the entire parliament, the whole city went into lockdown and the military promised elections by the end of the war and 3 days after the coup d'etat, the Republic of Bistonia was dissolved and the Provisional Government of Bistonia was established to replace the currently deteriorating republic.The Commonwealth of United and Free Nations condemned the act and made a decision to unconditionally support the establishment of a provisional government, the People's Republic of Crimsonia announced that the Crimsonian-Bistonian War is close to ending and achieve victory in the war, the dissolution of the Republic of Bistonia contributed to the beginning of the Kriadavia Mutiny and the formation of the Free Bistonian Army.
===FBA State of Kriadavia (1988 - 1990) ===

===Bistonian People's Republic (1987 - 1988)===
See also: Bistonian People's RepublicThe Bistonian People's Republic was established in the aftermath of the Mazoji Revolution by the Bistonian Socialist People's Army, a socialist insurgency group that formed in 1960s and was a small rebel force that opposed the independence of Bistonia, it turned from a small and weak guerilla rebel force into a massive threat and an eyesore by the Bistonian Armed Forces and the Free Bistonian Army.
The Bistonian People's Republic also controlled eastern parts of Bistonian Shingleton as the separatists in the island joined the Bistonian People's Republic, however the lack of equipment and the poorly preformed army in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War led to it's downfall at the Fall of Mazoji during the commencing of Operation Silo in March of 1988, after the Fall of Mazoji the Bistonian People's Republic fractured and collapsed into several factions controlling the rest of the state. 
===West Bistonian Socialist Republic (1987 - 1989)===
See also: West Bistonian Socialist RepublicThe West Bistonian Socialist Republic was a communist puppet state by the People's Republic of Crimsonia, established during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and acted as a buffer state between the People's Republic of Crimsonia and Bistonia, the West Bistonian Socialist Republic was stable in it's early years, but as the years went by it turned into an unstable and corrupt government and eventually ended after islamic insurgents captured the capital.
The West Bistonian Socialist Republic had their own army, but adopted the Crimsonian currency as it's official currency, and used Crimsonian passports, Bistonians within the West Bistonian Socialist Republic were forced into labor camps built by the Crimsonian government, it also was intended to be part of the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic, but during a referendum the intention of it being incorporated was rejected in mid 1988.
The West Bistonian Socialist Republic was forced to defend itself and use it's troops to handle most of the operations commenced by the People's Republic of Crimsonia, however due to the massive loss of troops by the New Vilnius Offensive, the West Bistonian Socialist Republic nearly collapsed to instability and corruption, the West Bistonian Socialist Republic was at the verge of collapse due to the formation of the West Bistonian Islamic Front, which eventually led to it's eventual demise as the West Bistonian Socialist Republic was dissolved after their capital was captured.
In 1990, the Islamic West Bistonian Emirates was established, but it was too late as the Bistonian Armed Forces and the Free Bistonian Army began ordering their troops to capture the capital of the West Bistonian Emirate, eventually the capture led to the end of the Islamic West Bistonian Emirate and forced the West Bistonian Islamic Front to hide within the forests of the region.
===Provisional Government of Bistonia (1988 - 1990)===
The Provisional Government of Bistonia in it's early years was nearly considered as an authoritarian state and eventually would end up as it's neighbor, the St. Ark Federation, the policies by the provisional government were considered too strict and authoritarian in the country, although the provisional government responded by promising the end of the policies once a democratic government was established.
Organized militias in the Provisional Government of Bistonia were considered illegal in the country, as the punishment for the members of the organized militias excluding troops would serve a life sentence in prison, the doomsday cult, The Void, was prosecuted because of alleged claims of handling too much power over the people along with other countries before them.
Terrorism was widely illegal in the country and possession of firearm and bombs were prohibited within the provisional government, groups involved in the possession of firearm and bombs would have their members serve a life sentence in prison, the alternative for the punishment is extradition.
Troops that were part of the Free Bistonian Army and the Bistonian Armed Forces and caught commiting warcrimes and human rights violations are sentenced to death or the alternative is extradition, and this crime would last all the way to the few years of the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, sometime in 1995, robbery and bribery in the country is usually not tolerated and the perpetrator would be arrested for several months, Bistonian troops were prohibited to plundering liberated cities.
Civillians were forced to stay in their houses during curfew as part of the rules of the military administration in the recently liberated territories, but recieved aid and food including water to stay alive within their homes, if civillians were sick including children they were either ordered to report to the police station and would be transported to a nearby field hospital, protesting in cities like Mazoji and New Vilnius would sentence you to 3 years in prison, those who were involved in a riot would have their sentence added to 3 more years.
People were demanded to report a person acting suspiciously in the military districts or the cities to a nearby police station inhabited and occupied by the Bistonian military or the Free Bistonian Army, promising with safety and action, those who lied about the suspicion were arrested and in jail for 3 days, these strict policies implemented by the Provisional Government of Bistonia worked effectively in capturing spies by the Crimsonian intelligence and preventing terrorist attacks throughout major cities, some of these policies did not manage to work however as anarchy in most of the cities completely damaged by the war were rampant.
===West Bistonian Islamic Republic (1989)===
===Invasion of Wilnotarn (1990)===
See also: WilnotarnThe invasion of Wilnotarn and Eastern Arshturn was the final phase of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, as in late 1989 during the aftermath of the New Shingleton Incident, the Bistonian Air Force began bombarding the Crimsonian province of Wilnotarn and Eastern Arshturn and in 20 minutes after the bombardment ground invasion began, capturing coastal cities and areas of Wilnotarn, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations condemned the invasion, but no actions were taken to the invasion. The Crimsonian-Bistonian war reached into 1990, as Crimsonian troops were desperate and attempting to hold back against the invading Bistonian troops, local forces rebelled against the occupation but failed, and Bistonian troops were making major advancements into the island, civillians cheered on the streets as Bistonia invaded the island.
By January 3rd 1990, most of Southern Wilnotarn came under Bistonian control, as a curfew was set up and major checkpoints were set up, and martial law within the occupied island were set up, and several government offices and communist monuments were destroyed, and several highways were captured, and in Northern Wilnotarn things were desperate, as people attempt to flee the island. In April 1990, Bistonian troops entered Kraibrezhen, the capital of Wilnotarn, at this point the Crimsonian-Bistonian War is months into ending, and in May 1990, the Treaty of Kraibrezhen was signed.

=== Arshturn Conflict (1998 - 2008)===
The Arshturn Conflict was a border conflict between the Bistonian counterpart of Eastern Arshturn and the Bulgarian counterpart of Western Arshturn, this was the most recent war with the Republic of Bistonia and the country formerly known as Crimsonia, the border conflict eventually turned into a full out war and then eventually forcing the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to set up a demilitarized zone.
The Arshturn Conflict began as a border conflict between Bistonian and Bulgarian troops, eventually the border conflict forced Bistonia's army to act and bombarded Ribolov, the capital of Arshturn, and this led to Bulgarian troops responding to the border conflict with more bombardment, this turned into an all out war in the island of Arshturn.
Eventually, Bistonian troops were close to victory within the conflict as they surrounded Ribolov, but because of the violence within the conflict the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations intervened within the conflict, they put an immediate stop to the conflict and force both sides into signing an agreement to setup a demilitarized zone in Arshturn and the divide of the city, Ribolov.
The Arshturn Conflict contributed to the further division of Arshturn and anger by the population.
===Uprising of the Free Bistonian Army (2000)===
===Wilnotarn Civil War (2003 - 2006)===
The Wilnotarn Civil War began in 2003 as the rebels aimed to achieve independence after the alleged mistreatment of the Crimson population in the incorporated Bistonian province of Wilnotarn, the Wilnotarn Civil War contributed to the creation of the State of Wilnotarn and led to the constant instability, corruption and then eventually violent civil wars in the country, which many countries like Bulgaria and Bistonia intervened in the conflict since 2009.
The violent civil war in Wilnotarn began in mid 2003 as seperatists demonstrated against alleged mistreatment of the Crimson majority in the island, and demanded full independence, the Bistonian government began cracking down on demonstrations in Kraibrezhen, worsening the demonstrations, eventually the demonstrations turned into a full out civil war and reigned terror on the province of Wilnotarn.
The police in Wilnotarn, responsible for the crackdown of demonstrations, joined the demonstrations, and the Wilnotarn Civil War began in mid 2003, this eventually caused the Republic of Bistonia to mobilize it's forces and attempt to crush the rebellion, their attempt on crushing their rebellion failed and most of the rebels eventually captured most of Western Wilnotarn, eventually Bistonia sued for peace.
The Republic of Bistonia was forced to fully recognize the independence of the State of Wilnotarn and redraw all its troops from the province, eventually the creation of the State of Wilnotarn contributed to problems in the state as factions began fighting and turning on eachother, beginning a year long conflict and forcing both Bistonia and Crimsonia to intervene in the conflict.

=== Modern Day===
n the modern day, despite their various problems concerning the Wilnotarn Conflict, Bistonia today is a democratic and free government, their government was accused for the involvement of an alien species called the "Zebraliens" responsible for UFO sightings in Central Bistonia, Bistonia and it's government was also described as having reigned terror on its occupied territories with it's army.
However, Bistonia didn't last as eventually in 2079 after pressure from the Third Great War in Mesothemia and the entire planet, Bistonia launched its nukes immediately revealing its plans of the so called Void and nuked the St. Ark Federation, Sidan, and then eventually Bulgaria and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, the nations responded by nuking Bistonian cities and destroying the Bistonian government, this led to the evacuation of government officials and since 2079 their government is currently hiding within bunkers.

==Geography==
The geography within mainland Bistonia is that the region is diverse, from the huge mountains of Central Bistonia to the plain fields of Southern Bistonia, mainland Bistonia has two different worlds, and the geography of mainland Bistonia is divided into West, South, North and Central Bistonia, including most of its minorities.
===Northern Bistonia===
Northern Bistonia is the most populated region of mainland Bistonia, it is where the largest two cities of Kriadavia and New Vilnius are located, unlike Central and Southern Bistonia, Northern Bistonia is filled with forests and national parks, and much more secular compared to Southern Bistonia and West Bistonia, the majority of Northern Bistonia is mostly Lithuanian, which takes nearly 84% of Northern Bistonia's population, it is also where the Great Lake is located including main governmental facilites, and Northern Bistonia is mainly Protestant.
===West Bistonia===
West Bistonia is the most unique region of mainland Bistonia, and a much more different part compared to Bistonian cities, there is no existance of a large city within the region, unlike Northern Bistonia, most of West Bistonia is mostly fields although parts of this region are mountainous, with the Central Bistonian mountains dividing West Bistonia, it is where most of Bistonia's major exports and known ports were situated, it is situated between Bistonia's most vital sea called the Bistonian Sea, the majority currently inhabiting West Bistonia are the former Crimson settlers who converted to Islam during Ottoman rule in Bistonia.
=== Central Bistonia===
Central Bistonia is a region in mainland Bistonia, and a much more rural area compared to the largest cities of Bistonia, unlike the rest of the regions within Bistonia, Central Bistonia is mostly mountainous and mostly winter and cold, and undeveloped, the region of Central Bistonia has very poorly connected roads and the sight of a bridge in Central Bistonia is not very common, most of the developed parts of Central Bistonia are in the northern part of the region, however the majority of the population inhabiting the rural areas of Central Bistonia have no record of religion whatsoever nor have any record of their minority group.
===Southern Bistonia===
Southern Bistonia is considered a unique and completely different region compared to Northern Bistonia, the region has a very unique history during the colonial era of Crimmitonia, most of their are rural and isolated before Bistonia's independence and the only thing connecting Southern Bistonia to the northern counterpart is the New Vilnius-Mazoji railway, however after Bistonia's independence in 1960, a massive highway project was planned further connecting the communities of Southern Bistonia, further developing the region, the majority of the population are settlers from the former Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, with an intense blend of culture and the carving of legacy within the region, they are mostly Catholic compared to Northern Bistonia and is much more populated, it is also next to the Bistonian Sea.
=== Bistonian Shingleton===
The island of Bistonian Shingleton is a completely different region away from the influence of Bistonia and the influence of Southern Bistonian catholics, compared to the other regions, Bistonian Shingleton is mostly forest, similar with Northern Bistonia, Bistonian Shingleton is developed and a tourist attraction due to the unique culture and resorts, the majority of the population are Lithuanians from the west and settlers from St. Ark in the east, which divides Bistonian Shingleton into both Catholic and Protestant.
==States==
States within the Republic of Bistonia run in the regional system, as the Republic of Bistonia is divided into 5 states depending on their regional locations rather than organize and divide them into seperate small states and districts, the states are Northern Bistonia, West Bistonia, Central Bistonia, Southern Bistonia, and the island of Bistonian Shingleton, however after the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the reform of political systems in the Republic of Bistonia led to the end of the regional system in 2001, and the division of states into seperate and governed states.
===Northern Bistonia ===
The region of Northern Bistonia is part of the regional state system within the Bistonian government, it is considered the most developed and secular state within the Republic of Bistonia compared to other parts of the country, where religion holds more power than the government combined, Northern Bistonia is connected through a vital series of highways spanning across mainland Bistonia, and where much more larger cities would be often noticed, Northern Bistonia is mostly developed and focused on and the state is much more safer.
Northern Bistonia during the events of New Shingleton in 1989 has it's infrastructure completely destroyed, along with power lines, roads and highways connecting to the city of New Vilnius after the New Vilnius, a last ditch attempt by the People's Republic of Crimsonia to capture the city of New Vilnius and expect Bistonia to surrender, Northern Bistonia afterwards faced a heavy task in rebuilding.
===West Bistonia===
The region of West Bistonia was granted autonomy by the Bistonian government, with self governing, it is considered the second most neglected state behind Central Bistonia, in the region the Crimson majority has faced discrimination and treatment as second class citizens, and the inefficient control of the polio epidemic that occured in 1986 earlier had worsened the reputation of the Bistonian government, and the Islamic religion had nearly controlled 50% of the autonomous governmental system in West Bistonia.
West Bistonia during the events of New Shingleton has been completely unstable and on the verge of collapse after the West Bistonian Socialist Republic had been dissolved in late 1989 and the sudden takeover by the West Bistonian Islamic Front, currently West Bistonia is under full military control and divided into several military districts, and faced with a heavy task of rebuilding after the events of New Shingleton.
=== Central Bistonia===
Central Bistonia is a state within the Republic of Bistonia, however due to the rural and unconnected areas in the mountainous regions of Central Bistonia, there is no presence of a governing state in Central Bistonia including districts and towns in the city, it is the most neglected state within the Republic of Bistonia, in the region most of the rural villages are in poverty.
Central Bistonia during the events of New Shingleton in 1989 still remained the same, although it became the most controversial region during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War as both sides attempt to control the region, however due to the lack of roads, Crimsonia failed to takeover the mountainous region due to the major flaws of the vehicles used within the war, currently Central Bistonia is deserted and has a lack of population, it is not sure what happens after the New Shingleton Incident if Central Bistonia remains an isolated and neglected state or becomes much more safer for the locals inhabiting the region.
===Southern Bistonia===
Southern Bistonia is considered the most largest state within the Republic of Bistonia, with the second largest city of Mazoji as its capital, with the New Vilnius-Mazoji railway connecting the two cities, in Southern Bistonia most areas are suburban neighborhoods and farmland, before the war, Southern Bistonia gained their reputation as being much more better compared to the north and western areas of Bistonia.
However, there are many dark sides of the region of Southern Bistonia, as it became a known area for alleged UFO sightings by an unknown species from a different galaxy, and that the Catholic division controlled too much power on the people compared to the governing secular government of Northern Bistonia, it is considered not secular and slightly isolated.
During the events of New Shingleton during the year 1989, Southern Bistonia became one of the most dangerous places to live in, as the Bistonian state became known for intense battle against Crimsonian and Bistonian troops and rebels in the area, and many utilities for the population inhabiting Southern Bistonia are limited within the city of Mazoji.
=== Bistonian Shingleton===
Bistonian Shingleton is the smallest state within the Republic of Bistonia, with an unknown city as it's capital, the state of Bistonian Shingleton has a reputation of being the most greatest places for tourism, and Bistonian Shingleton was considered widely as a tourist attraction, cities were filled with vacational resorts and companies flock to the state to gain revenue from tourism.
Bistonian Shingleton is unique and mostly inhabited by settlers from St. Ark, because of this unique status, it was given autonomy and the right to self govern as a Bistonian state, which made Bistonian Shingleton far more of a different world compared to the rest of mainland Bistonia, it was also considered as the New England of Bistonia.
However, during and before the events of New Shingleton, the island of Bistonian Shingleton became one of the most devastating conflicts, as seperatists and unionists began reigning terror on Bistonian Shingleton, the conflict worsened that the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations occupied a portion of Bistonian Shingleton, it is not known whether or not Bistonian Shingleton retains its autonomy and tourism after the Crimsonian-Bistonian War.
==Cities==
In the Republic of Bistonia before the war, there were known to be 4 largest cities spanning across the landmass of Bistonia, these cities are named, New Vilnius, the capital of the Republic of Bistonia, Mazoji, Kriadavia, and Bistonian Shingleton, most of these cities have been partially destroyed and bombarded by the Crimsonian army during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War by the events of New Shingleton in 1989.
===New Vilnius===
The city of New Vilnius serves as the main capital and headquarters of the Republic of Bistonia, once formerly the capital of the Bistonian Empire and once a great and marble civilized city, the city of New Vilnius is now one of the most largest cities of the Republic of Bistonia, the city of New Vilnius is divided into boroughs and comprised of a mix of old industrial sectors, downtown areas and skyscrapers.
The city of New Vilnius is uniquely diverse, as immigrant workers arrived in the city and established businesses including a blend of culture from other cities from Mesothemia, and the downtown areas including industrial sectors are inhabited mostly by migrant workers and illegal immigrants, and most highways built in Bistonia lead directly to the city of New Vilnius, an entire transportation system was built under the city of New Vilnius, allowing further travel of districts in the city.
During the events of New Shingleton in 1989, New Vilnius is deserted by the constant bombardment by the Crimsonian army and the New Vilnius Offensive, most downtown areas and industrial sectors are occupied by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to defend the capital from ground invasion from the Crimsonian army, and most highways are either blocked or destroyed, most of these disconnect New Vilnius from their presence of other cities.
===Mazoji===
The city of Mazoji, also known as Small or Little in Lithuanian, is the second largest city within the Republic of Bistonia and serves as the capital of Southern Bistonia, despite its long distance from the city of New Vilnius, it is connected through highways and railways leading to the city of New Vilnius and many other towns in Southern Bistonia, the city is filled with historical landmarks dating from the migration of settlers from the colony of St. Ark.
The city of Mazoji is uniquely diverse as equal with the capital city of New Vilnius, although the big difference between the city of New Vilnius and Mazoji is that the city of New Vilnius is much more secular and larger compared to the city of Mazoji, it is filled with downtown areas and a metro system connecting to the several districts of the city.
During the events of New Shingleton in 1989, the city of Mazoji is nearly deserted and much more devastated than the city of New Vilnius, as industrial sectors were completely destroyed including utilities required for the city to function, most downtown areas were completely bombarded and the city of Mazoji has been partially destroyed by the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the siege of Mazoji in 1988, the railway connecting to New Vilnius has also deteriorated further accelerating the decline of the city of Mazoji, including metro systems which have been completely buried under rubble.
===Kriadavia===
The city of Kriadavia is the third largest city within the Republic of Bistonia and is located in the state of Northern Bistonia, serving as the second city in Northern Bistonia behind the city of New Vilnius, formerly the city of Kriadavia was a small Bistonian village during Crimmitonian rule, and then eventually expanded into the third largest city in the Republic of Bistonia.
However, not much is known about the city of Kriadavia before the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987, however it is noted in New Vilnius Radio and stated by Mr. Braun that a hotel in downtown Kriadavia has been set on fire, damaging it's surroundings and killing hundreds of people in the process, it is not known what happened afterwards or any further detail of the city of Kriadavia in New Vilnius Radio. 
During the events of New Shingleton in 1989, it became the capital and headquarters of the known Free Bistonian Army, a known paramilitary group that seperated from the Bistonian Armed Forces after the New Vilnius Coup, it is not known about the conditions in Kriadavia, but due to the reputations gained by the Free Bistonian Army by the Crimsonian army, it is either damaged or destroyed. 
==Minorities==
Minorities within the Republic of Bistonia are only a few, with the main majority being the Lithuanians, with the Crimsons as the second, and tribals in Central Bistonia, most of these minorities are segregated by the regional system implemented by the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1940, and the neglect of the regional system led to the segregation.
===Bistonians===
Lithuanians, also known as Bistonians, are the main majority of the Republic of Bistonia, taking over 78% of the majority population of the Bistonian mainland, they are recognized as a minority group within the People's Republic of Crimsonia, most of these Bistonians inhabit most of Northern Bistonia and parts of Southern and Western Bistonia, the religion of these Bistonians are mostly Protestant, while in the isolated towns of Northern Bistonia some of them retained their Catholic division of Christianity.
===Crimsons===
Crimsons are the second majority of the Republic of Bistonia, taking over 15% of the population in the mainland, most of these Crimsons inhabit most of Western Bistonia and most of these Crimsons arrived into the mainland during the 16th century, not much is known about their history in the Bistonian mainland, but they are mostly segregated and face utter discrimination by it's neighbouring states. Their religion is mainly Sunni Islam while some retained their Orthodox Christianity.
===Settlers===
Although not a minority in the Republic of Bistonia, these settlers take up the rest of the population in the mainland, most of these Settlers come from the St. Ark Federation in the 1800s and 1900s to look for work, but over the centuries they have become civillians of the Bistonian mainland, most of these settlers inhabit most of Southern Bistonia, their religion is mainly Catholic.
== Military==
Although there were several military divisions connected to the Bistonian government and the Bistonian mainland, the main division of the Bistonian government by the events of New Shingleton are the Bistonian Armed Forces, and the infamous Free Bistonian Army, while some military groups are hostile to the Bistonian government and some plead allegiance to Crimsonia.
===Bistonian Armed Forces===
The Bistonian Armed Forces are the main military division of the Provisional Government of Bistonia and the former Republic of Bistonia, they were founded after the independence of the Republic of Bistonia in 1960, and before the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, despite the advanced technology given and funded by the government, they are poorly equipped and underfunded as the Bistonian government began to focus more on development than reinforcing the strength of the military.
Because of this, during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, the Bistonian Armed Forces was completely weakened and took over the country after the New Vilnius Coup in 1988, and the Bistonian Armed Forces were split by the Free Bistonian Army after the coup d'etat and alleged betrayal, however throughout the late phases of the war the Bistonian Armed Forces were eventually strengthened and eventually pushed out Crimsonian troops out of the mainland.
===Free Bistonian Army===
The Free Bistonian Army is the second military division related to the Provisional Government of Bistonia, it claims itself to be the main military of Bistonia after their split between the Bistonian Armed Forces after the New Vilnius Coup in 1988 and the Kriadavia Mutiny, it is infamous as it became one of the biggest eyesores of the Crimsonian army, as guerilla tactics used by the Free Bistonian Army weakened their operations in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, it was also involved in major operations to weaken Crimsonian presence in the region.
The Free Bistonian Army eventually merged into the Bistonian Armed Forces after the establishment of the Second Republic of Bistonia in 1990, after an agreement was signed between the two military divisions, ending the Free Bistonian Army, the Free Bistonian Army also inspired revolutionaries in Bulgaria to merge into one group known as the Free Bulgarian Army to completely destroy the People's Republic of Crimsonia.
