== History ==
=== World War I (1914-1918) ===
With the Russians on the Allied Powers, Wintercastle started gaining importance when a vast oil field was found off the coast. Wintercastle soon became an autonomous region when the Russians won the war.
=== World War II (1939-1945) ===
When World War II erupted, Wintercastle joined the Allied Powers long before the Russians did, signing the Treaty of London. They soon rebelled but got crushed - as they rebelled as the Soviets came to power. When the Allies won the war, Wintercastle was demoted into a part of the region of Severnoye.
=== The New War (1956-1966) ===
Eleven years later, Mongolia rebelled against the Soviet regime. With this, Tannu Tuva, Ukraine, Finland, Lithuania and Wintercastle all rebelled. With the help of the United Kingdom, Wintercastle, Mongolia, Finland and Tannu Tava all gained independence - while Ukraine and Lithuania were turned into autonomous regions by the Soviets with higher rights. On December 17th, Wintercastle gained its independence. 
=== The Oil Issue (1965) ===
One year into independence, a huge oil spill spilled on the shores of Wintercastle. Wintercastle, with the help of Soviets and their allies, were able to clean up most of the oil - however there still lingers oil.
