State of Bistonian Shingleton

== About ==
The State of Bistonian Shingleton (Bistonian: Bistono Šingletono Valstija) is an autonomous region of Bistonia. It is one of Bistonia's largest islands, with the Gerat Islands just behind. Formerly a tourist destination which formed the backbone of the islands economy in the 1960s, Bistonian Shingleton has become infamous due to its decades long conflict with Pelkian separatists, who wished to break away from Bistonia to form an independent state in Bistonian Shingleton and join the St. Ark Federation, and pro-Bistonian militias, which engaged in clashes against Pelkian militias. The conflict soon escalated with the beginning of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, which led to the Pelkian militias siding with the Crimsonians, committing genocide on the island along with the Bistonian Socialist People's Army, the military of the Bistonian People's Republic. This led to a portion of the region being occupied by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations under Operation Schon, which forced the pro-Bistonian strongholds to move further deep into Pelkian territory.
With the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and Stanislovas Darijus actively cracking down on both sides of the conflict, the Pelkian separatists and the pro-Bistonian militias cooperated together in a peace agreement which had been organized by the Bistonian government. Known as the Shinglederry Agreement of 1992, it forced the two sides to peacefully co-exist, and disarm themselves, which brought a peaceful end to the conflict. However, the aftermath of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War still lingers decades after it had ended, with the 1997 protests in Somerby being an example of it. The capital of Bistonian Shingleton is the city of Shinglederry, with its largest cities being Berryweath, New Jefferson and Somerby. Bistonian Shingleton can be seen partially in New Shingleton 1989.
==History==
The territories of modern-day Bistonian Shingleton had been controlled by the Serudians, which had grown a vast empire in Bistonia by the 9th century. Although not much was known about Bistonian Shingleton during the Serudian times, it was known that a majority of the Serudian kingdoms crops had been grown in the region, which provided most of the kingdoms food in the Mazoji region. After the Balt migrations into Bistonia, Serudian control over the region had largely collapsed, as with most regions that the Serudians had controlled as a result of the mass migrations into Bistonia in the 1200s. It is believed that the plague which had spread to the Mazoji Region had also spread to Bistonian Shingleton, which led to the death of almost the entire population. The region had been lost to time as a result of the Serudian collapse, and the island was never discovered up until its discovery by Bistonian outlaws which had traversed further south in the 1500s. 
=== Kingdom of Crimmitonia (1802 - 1919) ===
By 1802, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had discovered the island and had conquered it as their own colony, during the early years of their rule, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had sent many outlaws from the mainland and Bistonia to help in the construction of major ports across the west coastal areas, the island was given the name Pelke, originating from the infamous marsh discovered by Lithuanian locals in Nesekme in modern-day New Shingleton, it wasn't until in 1854 that the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had renamed the colony into Shingleton, confusing many people with the names New Shingleton and Shingleton. 
In 1814, the major port areas within Pelke had been completed and as a result thousands of prisoners had died due to the harsh conditions and punishments given by soldiers of the Crimmitonian military, these major port areas would forever change the course of history within Bistonian Shingleton as the ports would leave the island vulnerable to further flow of settlers looking for potential, however eventually in 2 years, the Mazoji Rebellion would begin which had resulted in 10,000 people dead, eventually the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had invested in thousands of money into rebuilding the major port areas within Bistonian Shingleton which is now worth 10 million, making it one of the most expensive mistakes in the world, behind many other more. 
In 1850, the Crimmitonian expedition into Southern Bistonia had been completed and as a result many local tribes within Southern Bistonia were expelled into reservations within Central Bistonia, this left the Kingdom of Crimmitonia to promote the distribution of land to plantation owners in the Colony of New Hope within Southern Bistonia, this resulted in the influx of migrants and Mesothemian settlers to arrive to Southern Bistonia to create communities and plantations across Bistonia, and contributed to many settlers arriving in the eastern areas of Bistonian Shingleton, there they had built monuments dedicated to James Spence Monroe despite the prohibition of many monuments not related to influential members within the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, and in 1854, the province of Pelke was renamed into Bistonian Shingleton and then afterwards the state of New Shingleton was declared the following year. Although the promotion of distribution of land to plantation owners in the Colony of New Hope to Southern Bistonia was successful and the arrival of settlers from the Colony of New Hope had arrived in large numbers, this contributed to hundreds of problems throughout the Colony of Bistonian Shingleton later on in the future. 
In 1855, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia as part of their plans to reorganize the divisions within their colonies overseas, had split Bistonian Shingleton from the main colony of Bistonia as their own seperate colony, therefore until the 1960s, 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 corrected their reasons to serve as a seperate colony. 
Eventually, throughout the years, Bistonian Shingleton had progressed into an industrial state along with the State of New Shingleton, however this did not last long, as the competition between great powers in Mesothemia would erupt into the First Great War in 1914, eventually Bistonian Shingleton turned into a base where the Crimmitonian navy and airforce would use in order to devastate the industrial sectors of New Shingleton, however despite their attempts to drastically change the situation of the war, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia surrendered in 1918 and eventually in 1919, Bistonian Shingleton eventually went under allied occupation. 
==== Industrial Revolution ====
The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the west, in the period from between 1760 to 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, the increasing use of steam power and water power, the development of machine tools and the rise of the mechanized factory system. The Industrial Revolution also led to an unprecedented rise in the rate of population growth.
Bistonian Shingleton was known to be within the agricultural and mining sectors in which most of Crimmitonia's gold reserve had originated from, prior to the years before the Industrial Revolution, agricultural sectors within the colony of Bistonian Shingleton required hundreds of workers to operate within their farms, and most of these farms would end up collecting horrible harvest in which resulted in food shortages across Bistonian Shingleton and the colony of Bistonia, leading up to many strikes by farmers and workers within the colonies, it wasn't until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution that industrial and agricultural sectors began to improve. 
By the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, many machines were invented in a way to improve the production of agricultural sectors, such as the plough which contained iron parts, and the threshing machine, these machines eventually contributed to imrpoved agricultural productivity which required less workers and freed up many of these workers from farms and rural villages to work in other sectors of the economy within Bistonian Shingleton in the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, however per-capita food supply in Bistonian Shingleton was stagnant or declining and did not improve in parts of Bistonian Shingleton until the 1900s. 
As for the mining sectors which made up most of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia's gold reserves and most of its coal before the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the process of mining gold and coal throughout Bistonian Shingleton was difficult, and many workers ended up dying in the process, however the beginning of the Industrial Revolution led to many conditions within the mines much better and easier to maintain with better machines created and invented to improve mining for more better production, this contributed to the rise of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia's gold reserves. 
The Industrial Revolution within Bistonian Shingleton contributed to the increase of agricultural and mining production including the construction of railways and roads across the colony and created new jobs, cities and industrial areas based on the production of steel and many other machinery, the colony of Bistonian Shingleton also became a competitor to the industrialized state of New Shingleton aswell in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution. 
==== First Great War (1914 - 1918) ====
The First Great War was a conflict that raged within Mesothemia and many other continents globally, the conflict could be traced to the fierce competition of many imperialist powers within Mesothemia which would contribute the beginning of total war, the war brought massive destruction throughout the infrastructures of many countries across the world and killed millions of people in the process, in the aftermath of the war many countries broke away from the imperial countries of Mesothemia and establish new republics, creating a new era for the 1900s, Bistonian Shingleton was immediately caught up in the flames of the First Great War and Bistonian Shingleton was used as the main centre of command by the Crimmitonian navy and airforce to bombard industrial areas and coastal areas within New Shingleton in an attempt to paralyze war efforts by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, and ended up in the Kingdom of Crimmitonia surrendering and the occupation of Bistonian Shingleton.
In the early days of the First Great War in 1914, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia signed an agreement with the Central Powers as an attempt to gain more territory from the Balkans and due to them being part of their imperial central alliance 3 years prior, with Crimmitonia along with its troops managed to invade Greece and Serbia, and then eventually annexing Northern Dobruja, Macedonia and parts of coastal Greece.
Despite making progress within the First Great War, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia had been concerned regarding the United States of Megaton and Columbia due to their persecution and propaganda against the Central Powers and the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, to add up to the concerns, the United States of Megaton and Columbia had control over the foreign affairs of the Dominion of St. Ark, a colony of the USMC located south towards mainland Bistonia, a vital part of their colony, this forced few of Crimmitonia's vital generals to move to Bistonian Shingleton and assemble their main center of command despite their lines being stretched too thin during their operations in the Great War, many of these generals had planned coordinated attacks towards the coastal ports of New Shingleton and towards industrial areas and in 1915 the bombardment began, destroying industrial sectors within the state of New Shingleton.
However in the aftermath of the bombardment of New Shingleton in 1915, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia's plans in stopping the war effort by the United States of Megaton and Columbia failed and immediately resulted in the United States of Megaton and Columbia and many of its domains to declare war on the Kingdom of Crimmitonia including its allies, directing attacks throughout cities in Bistonian Shingleton and an invasion began in Bistonian Shingleton in 1917, destroying and nearly devastating the war efforts by the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, eventually in 1918, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia along with the Central Powers surrendered and signed an agreement, ending the First Great War and handed over West Bistonia and Bistonian Shingleton under the hands of the Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia until 1921. 
=== Allied Occupation (1918 - 1921) ===
The Allied Occupation in Bistonian Shingleton lasted until 1918 from its occupation by troops from the United States of Megaton and Columbia and the Dominion of St. Ark in the aftermath of the First Great War until its handover to the Republic of Crimmitonia in 1921, during the 3 years of the allied occupation within Bistonian Shingleton, the administration saw rampant corruption and violent uprisings against the allied occupation until the handover of the occupied territory.
During the early days of the end of the First Great War, troops from the United States of Megaton and Columbia and the Dominion of St. Ark had already captured the main cities of Bistonian Shingleton such as Shinglederry and Londonberry, and in early 1919, troops from the Kingdom of Crimmitonia were devastated by the sudden unconditional surrender and had been forced to withdraw from the island of Bistonian Shingleton, in the aftermath of the withdrawal a temporary military administration was assigned to the role of rebuilding, in the process a power vacuum emerged across post-war Bistonian Shingleton and many gold reserves within Bistonian Shingleton were stolen by troops.
Although the military administration had been effective in the process of rebuilding post-war Bistonian Shingleton, the administration suffered rampant corruption as many of its politicians involved within the temporary administration were known to stealing money from infrastructure projects that also involved the rebuilding of several railroads important to the temporary administration within Bistonian Shingleton, crippling the ability for Bistonian Shingleton to properly rebuild until the 1920s, another concerning problem adding to the setbacks of the military administration was the insurgency within Bistonian Shingleton in 1919 which also resulted in many infrastructure projects being cancelled or too costly to build.
After 3 years of the allied occupation of Bistonian Shingleton, the occupation brought only instability and corruption within Bistonian Shingleton and there were no major efforts into solving the source of the unstable territory and in 1921 the occupied territory of Bistonian Shingleton was handed over in a ceremony between the United States of Megaton and Columbia and the Dominion of St. Ark between the Republic of Crimmitonia, ending 3 years of military rule over the island.
=== Republic of Crimmitonia (1921 - 1940) ===
The First Republic of Crimmitonia was established after the dissolution of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia and replaced with a weak and unstable democratic state with a weakened economy, in the aftermath of the peace treaty the Republic of Crimmitonia was faced with a heavy task of rebuilding and the paying of heavy reparations to the allied powers, during the era of the republic, the island of Bistonian Shingleton was faced with famine and instability carried on by the military administration in the 20s and an economic crisis that devastated the island including the world the following year, because of the instability it faced hundreds of insurgencies from groups that would later on unite and form into seperatists and the unionists which would clash later on in the 80s.
In 1921, the island of Bistonian Shingleton was handed over in a ceremony between the Republic of Crimmitonia, the Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, ending the military administration and allowing the peaceful transition of power in Bistonian Shingleton, however the famine that spread throughout Bistonian Shingleton the following years would result in thousands suffering from hunger and by the aftermath of the handover hundreds of thousands of people had died by starvation and many villages were abandoned including a economic crisis that eventually devastated the economy within Bistonian Shingleton and also rendered the currency within the Republic of Crimmitonia useless, the power vacuum continued to rage on and many insurgencies still remained despite many efforts by the Crimmitonian government.
In 1928, 7 years after the handover, the Crimmitonian government revoked Bistonian Shingleton's status as a colony and officially declared it as a overseas province along with the colony of Bistonia after a referendum was held, even though Bistonia and the island of Bistonian Shingleton was declared as an overseas province by the Republic of Crimmitonia, Bistonian Shingleton remained seperate from the Bistonian mainland until in the 60s and the insurgency problem continued to rage terror on Bistonian Shingleton and minimal efforts into cracking down the insurgency were not effective.
Although Bistonian Shingleton suffered a devastating famine and a decades long insurgency, Bistonian Shingleton entered prosperity within the Republican era after their status as a colony was abolished and many equal laws were implemented which slightly put out the torch between Bistonians and settlers from Nesekme, however after 20 years the Republican era would abruptly end.
20 years had passed and in 1941, far-right Mesothemian regimes caused an outbreak of the Second Great War in Mesothemia, and in mid 1941 after an agreement with military generals of the Republic of Crimmitonia, a coup d'etat occured in mainland Crimmitonia and overthrew and detained the president with the republic being abolished and the establishment of an authoritarian royal dictatorship which would eventually join the Axis powers of Mesothemia the following year, this would lead to laws based on equality being revoked and further rising tensions within Bistonian Shingleton.
=== Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia (1941 - 1945) ===
The Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia was established in mid-1941 in the aftermath of the coup d'etat as an authoritarian royal dictatorship after an agreement was met and signed by military generals of the Crimmitonian army, during the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia, the government revoked laws based on equality and prosecuted jews living within Crimmitonia and homosexuals including Lithuanians from local villages, eventually in 1945 the regime fell and the Second Republic of Crimmitonia was established.
During the regimes early days in power, many civillians accused of being Jewish, Lithuanian and homosexual were sent to prisons where they would be euthanized or executed, and a daily purge of people associated with the former government were also executed and a military draft was enforced on the population in Bistonian Shingleton, although many people in the western regions of Bistonian Shingleton opposed the acts committed by the authoritarian regime, many people within the eastern regions of Bistonian Shingleton and West Bistonia unconditionally supported the actions by the authoritarian royal regime and many political members originating from the region had also supported the cruel political system, although Crimmitonia had secured their presence within Bistonian Shingleton, the regime had caused many insurgencies to rise against Crimmitonia which mostly comprised of Lithuanians, the authoritarian regime also brutally cracked down on Protestantism and Catholics living within the overseas provinces and took down monuments dedicated to the two branches of Christianity due to their extremist Orthodox views, as a result over hundreds of churches were burnt down across Bistonian Shingleton and many priests fled from Crimmitonia and Bistonian Shingleton as a consequence of the brutal crackdown.
During the Second Great War, the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia had also planned and coordinated attacks across New Shingleton and its provincial capital, Jefferson in a desperate attempt to paralyze war efforts by the USMC and to destroy industrial areas involved in the production of military vehicles and weapons by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, this however failed due to their backup industry in many areas across the Dominion of St. Ark located in hidden areas, and further forced the United States of Megaton and Columbia into joining the Second Great War and invading the island of Bistonian Shingleton. 
In late 1944, the United States of Megaton and Columbia directed most of their divisions to the island of Bistonian Shingleton and West Bistonia in an attempt to secure the surroundings of the Dominion of St. Ark due to their important value of industry in the regions across the colony and had funded and aided insurgencies in West Bistonian Shingleton and coordinated assassinations of political members affiliated with the authoritarian regime and invaded the island of Bistonian Shingleton, by early 1945 the city of Shinglederry and most of West Bistonia had fell under the rule of the United States of Megaton and Columbia and by the time it had fell, the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia had capitulated to the Allied Powers, ending the 4 year authoritarian regime. 
A temporary military administration was set up in the aftermath of the war in Bistonian Shingleton by both the Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia after an agreement was signed with Crimmitonia and would last for 2 years until it was handed over back to the Second Republic of Crimmitonia. 
===Allied Occupation (1945 - 1947)===
In 1945, Bistonian Shingleton was again occupied by forces of the Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia after an agreement was signed after the Kingdom of Crimmitonia was defeated by USMC forces and a military administration was installed within Bistonian Shingleton and West Bistonia with many fearing that the possibility of rampant corruption and total anarchy would erupt again in Bistonian Shingleton as a result of the military administration.
By the end of the war, Bistonian Shingleton and many of its cities had been damaged as a result of bombardment by planes from the USMC, with structures within the cities barely intact, in conclusion only 63% of the city remained undamaged by the heavy bombardments and most of its industrial areas had been obliterated by the bombs, although the United States of Megaton and Columbia guaranteed full funding and no corruption by the military administration, the military administration faced rampant corruption and many infrastructure projects faced their funds being cut by corrupt officials with the rest of the money being kept for their own interests.
The military administration had made minimal efforts into rebuilding the cities of Shinglederry and Londonberry and insurgencies began rising against the USMC government, despite many promises by the United States of Megaton and Columbia in an attempt to improve living conditions within Bistonian Shingleton, many of these promises were never met and many people deported from Bistonian Shingleton to the camps in mainland Bistonia would never return to the island again.
In 1947 after a series of instability and attacks carried by insurgency groups, the treaty signed between Crimmitonia and the USMC expired and in mid 1947 a ceremony was held which involved the peaceful transition of Bistonian Shingleton from the United States of Megaton and Columbia and the Dominion of St. Ark to the Second Republic of Crimmitonia.
=== Second Republic of Crimmitonia (1947 - 1949) ===
In 1947, the military administration in Bistonian Shingleton came to an abrupt end as a ceremony handed over Bistonian Shingleton from USMC to the Second Republic of Crimmitonia in a peaceful transition, with Bistonian Shingleton now a de facto state of the Second Republic of Crimmitonia, however like the military administration, the administration of the Second Republic of Crimmitonia faced rampant corruption and more of an authoritarian regime which reigned terror on Bistonian Shingleton by purging many members and civillians allegedly accused of being affiliated with the Crimmitonian Communist Party, which would eventually later on cause the outbreak of the Crimsonian Civil War and would establish the People's Republic of Crimsonia 2 years later.
Despite the Second Republic of Crimmitonia's promises to help in rebuilding the cities of New Jefferson, Shinglederry and Londonberry, these promises were never achieved and insurgency groups continue to reign terror on many people within the island of Bistonian Shingleton, in late 1947, the Second Republic of Crimmitonia had met the demands of people within Bistonian Shingleton and in early 1948 many Lithuanians and civillians deported by the former royal regime in the Second Great War were finally sent back home by the Crimmitonian government, causing an influx of many people flowing into the borders of Bistonian Shingleton.
However, despite the reemergence of the Republican era in Bistonian Shingleton, the Second Republic of Crimmitonia had many setbacks, the Second Republic of Crimmitonia was an authoritarian regime and a puppet state for the United States of Megaton and Columbia, with democratic parties securing their rule fully and establishing a one-party state which oppressed minorities and purged political members and former veterans from the second and first great wars, in Bistonian Shingleton the Crimmitonian government had reigned full terror on Bistonian Shingleton by purging innocent civillians accused of being affiliated with the Crimmitonian Communist Party and radical Catholic and Protestant groups, this contributed to a rise of tensions against the Crimmitonian government.
In the eastern districts of Bistonian Shingleton, settlers from the Dominion of St. Ark opposed against the Crimmitonian government claiming that Crimmitonia had betrayed their ways and had moved on and also claimed that the United States of Megaton and Columbia had betrayed them during the handover ceremonies, as a result of the betrayal and opposition, the foundation of seperatist nationalism within Bistonian Shingleton begin to form with many of these nationalists admiring the Dominion of St. Ark and attempting to form their own nation from Crimmitonia and to join the Dominion of St. Ark due to their connections and relations.
However, authoritarian rule within the Second Republic of Crimmitonia would eventually come to an abrupt end as the Crimsonian Civil War would transform into a small conflict into a massive civil war with partisans from the Crimmitonian Communist Party and weak government soldiers from the authoritarian Second Republic of Crimmitonia, with many right-wing nationalists from Bistonian Shingleton unconditionally supporting the Second Republic and left-wing nationalists comprised of Lithuanians from Bistonian Shingleton unconditionally supporting the Crimmitonian Communist Party.
====Crimsonian Civil War in Bistonian Shingleton====
The Crimsonian Civil War in Bistonian Shingleton began in 1948 as the civil war began spilling and spreading into overseas provinces the authoritarian regime had controlled such as mainland Bistonia and Bistonian Shingleton, with the Bistonian People's Liberation Army being involved in the BIstonian fronts and the island of Bistonian Shingleton, the Crimsonian Civil War in Bistonian Shingleton was the de facto root of the conflicts that would soon rage on between unionists and seperatists.
The Crimsonian Civil War in Bistonian Shingleton began as a workers strike in the city of New Jefferson as Lithuanian nations began demonstrating against the authoritarian regimes brutal crackdown on innocent civillians accused of being involved with the Crimmitonian Communist Party as a result of anti-communist policies instated by the regime, these demonstrations would later seize and arm themselves with weapons and joined the Bistonian People's Liberation Army, a branch and division of the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front in the Crimsonian Civil War, with West Bistonian Shingleton falling under the hands of partisans in the conflict including many major cities, during the civil war many monuments dedicated to religion and religious material were taken down.
As for the settlers originating from the Dominion of St. Ark, they had fiercely opposed against communist rebels during the Crimsonian Civil War and took up arms to defend the island of Bistonian Shingleton from falling under communist rule and rebels from West Bistonian Shingleton and committed atrocities against Lithuanians while they were defending the authoritarian regime's presence within Bistonian Shingleton, although they had fell after a few years, they had resisted against the communists longer enough but in the battle to take over Shinglederry their army had been completely destroyed and as a result of their destruction they surrendered, this led to a slight rise of anti-Bistonian sentiment in Bistonian Shingleton by settlers, and would rise at a high rate in the 1980s.
Eventually Bistonian Shingleton would fall under the hands of rebels from the BPLA and the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front due to the lack of support from people in the Crimmitonian side of the Crimsonian Civil War, and the People's Republic of Crimsonia was de facto established in 1949 with generals holding statements in the outskirts of Shinglederry commemorating a new era for the state of Bistonian Shingleton in 1950, bringing Bistonian Shingleton into the new era of communism.
===Crimsonian Bistonia (1950 - 1961)===
In 1950, the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the Crimmitonian Communist Party took over Bistonia and the island of Bistonian Shingleton, by the time BPLA rebels had arrived at the city of Shinglederry, the city was completely wrecked as a result of the bombing efforts carried out by the United States of Megaton and Columbia, and only a handful of churches, monuments and many other structures remained standing in the ruins of the city, Bistonian Shingleton would be incorporated into the overseas province of Bistonia and Bistonian Shingleton ceased to exist as a seperate province from mainland Bistonia despite their ties.
During this era, the island of Bistonian Shingleton under communism had drastically changed as many religious symbols and culture were prohibited throughout the island and as a result many religious objects and artifacts were taken down and policies by Crimsonia would force nearly everybody to abandon their religion, many agricultural reforms and land reforms led to many plantation owners fleeing the island and discontent by the settler population from the Dominion of St. Ark in the early 50s begin to rise, despite the setbacks the Crimsonian government attempted to promote unity towards people throughout the state including Bistonian Shingleton. By the mid 50s, the chairman of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, Georgi Dimitrov, would suddenly pass away and a new leadership was elected.
The cities of Londonberry, Shinglederry and New Jefferson would be completely rebuilt under the Crimsonian state as cities and districts would be filled with commie blocks and factories throughout the outer skirts of the city and many special apartment blocks were constructed for the elite people in Bistonian Shingleton, however there were many setbacks with the reconstruction of infrastructure within the cities and many other utilities as many old buildings were in the way for these infrastructure projects, as a result many of these old buildings dating back to the colonial era were demolished and replaced with new neighborhoods and monuments, however only a small amount of buildings dating to the colonial era were saved as part of a moving plan to avoid demolition, many historical buildings and monuments now disappeared as a result of Crimsonia's reconstruction plans.
However there were many setbacks during the Crimsonian administration in the 50s and 60s, before the death of Georgi Dimitrov, he had reigned terror over Bistonia and the island of Bistonian Shingleton with his secret police force, detaining anyone that would pose a threat to his leadership, there in the eastern regions of Bistonian Shingleton he was known as a brutal tyrant who oppressed people with brutal action, it wasn't until his death in 1950 that his secret police force would temporarily halt their operations and would continue to function until the independence of Bistonia and Bistonian Shingleton in the 1960s.
Discontent by settlers from the Dominion of St. Ark continued and in 1956, the Dominion of St. Ark gained full independence from the United States of Megaton and Columbia as the St. Ark Federation, this led to hundreds of thousands of settlers from Bistonian Shingleton to flock through the coastal areas to flee to the St. Ark Federation, however the flow of migrants to the St. Ark Federation was stopped by Crimsonian intelligence later on in 1957 and the decline of settlers permanently stopped.
The island of Bistonian Shingleton under the Crimsonian government had prospered under the socialist economic laws and would become one of the most developed regions in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, however in 8 years all hope for prosperity would soon collapse as the Bistonian Conflict began emerging in 1957 due to the Great Famine, a manmade famine created as a result of farmers demonstrating against poor agricultural laws instated by the Crimsonian government.
====Bistonian Conflict (1957 - 1960)====
The Bistonian Conflict started as small demonstrations against the Crimsonian governments actions for economic reforms and the neglect of agriculture which caused the Great Famine earlier in 1956, turned into a violent mass riot and eventually a civil war that devastated the People's Republic of Crimsonia and made way for the independence of Bistonia. The conflict began in the morning hours of January 23rd 1957 as small demonstrations by the population in New Vilnius, West Bistonia, Mazoji and Bistonian Shingleton, the small demonstration began turning into a massive protest against the government and aimed to achieve full independence from the People's Republic of Crimsonia, the new leadership in Crimsonia responded to the mass protests by cracking down and abducting activists against the communist state.
On February 1957, demonstrations in Bistonian Shingleton began as many Lithuanians in the district of Bistonian Shingleton had begin to lose support for the Crimsonian government after atrocities in the city of New Vilnius were committed, as a result many elites begin fleeing from Bistonian Shingleton and the Crimsonian government began cracking down on protesters in cities throughout Bistonian Shingleton, despite their attempts at easing the conflict, eventually the region would soon break out into complete civil war including mainland Bistonia and soldiers began defecting to the rebels, although the situation in Bistonia was difficult to control, the Crimsonian government had stabilized the tension in Bistonian Shingleton.
However, in 1960, the People's Republic of Crimsonia had been forced to sign an agreement and accept an ultimatium recieved by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, allowing for a slow transition of power in Bistonia to an independent democratic republic, however despite their promises, these transitional governments would be overthrown in many Bistonian islands overseas including Bistonian Shingleton and in June 1960 a pro-Crimsonian government was elected and assigned in the aftermath of the Bistonian Conflict, many Bistonian rebels would eventually capture Northern Bistonia and would only leave Southern Bistonia alone for the rest of the month and in 2 months Crimsonian troops withdrew from the region and the Republic of Bistonia was de facto established in 1960.
As a result, the People's Republic of Crimsonia had partially lost access to the Bistonian Sea and only the territories of Wilnotarn, Arshturn and the island of Bistonian Shingleton remained within the communist state, due to Crimsonia's paranoia in the aftermath of the independence of the Republic of Bistonia in 1960, Crimsonia guaranteed and granted autonomy to the last remaining territories of the former Crimsonian Bistonia, establishing the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic, and eventually the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic in June 1960.
==== Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic (June 1960 - September 1960) ====
Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic (aka. Bistonija Šingletonas Autonominė Socialistinė Respublika) is a rump autonomous socialist republic established in June 1960 due to Crimsonia's paranoia of overseas provinces breaking away in the aftermath of the Bistonian Conflict in 1957, the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic was unstable and filled with violent rebel groups in the Bistonian Conflict, the BSASR was an example of Crimsonia's failed attempts in forming a federal socialist republic and in August 1960 a referendum was held in Bistonian Shingleton which led to the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic ending as Bistonian Shingleton joins the Republic of Bistonia in September 1960.
The Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic was established and granted autonomy on June 1960 in the aftermath of the Bistonian Conflict, this time in order to secure secession and nationalism in the region, the People's Republic of Crimsonia had promised and guaranteed autonomy and an equal and fair state, however eventually in the early days of the BSASR the situation would boil as in mid June 1960 pro-Bistonian and pro-Shingleton demonstrations would further descend the cities into anarchy due to the lack of any police or riot control to prevent the protests from occuring, as a result the Crimsonian government sent thousands of troops into the Bistonian Shingleton Autonomous Socialist Republic in order to quell the unstable socialist republic which would ultimately fail the following month.
Insurgencies from groups of Lithuanian and settlers from the St. Ark Federation would help further escalate the tension within the cities and stop Crimsonian presence from reaching deep into other communities surrounding the cities, they had gathered hundreds of explosives exported and stolen from former military ports from the Second Great War and used it to bombard railways, bridges and roads constructed by the Crimsonian government years prior to the Bistonian Conflict, this led to many Crimsonian troops unable to travel through communities using highways and railroads easily and force them to walk far distances towards the communities, 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.
===Republic of Bistonia (1960 - 1988)===
The State of Bistonian Shingleton under the Republic of Bistonia from 1960 to the present day saw prosperity and notable events such as the Tourism Era which lasted from 1961 to 1974 and during Bistonian presence the State of Bistonian Shingleton had seen economic prosperity and the island began benefiting off of their tourism sectors, eventually throughout the decades Bistonian Shingleton under the Bistonian administration would also see civil conflict and eventually terror would reign on the island in the late 80s and early 90s and would continue to rage this very day.
In September 1960 Bistonian Shingleton joined the Republic of Bistonia after a referendum was held with the majority voting to join the new republic and Bistonian Shingleton would be incorporated into the new republic and de facto established as a proper autonomous state due to their recent entry into the newly created republic, many Bistonian troops in the cities of New Jefferson, Shinglederry and Londonberry were greeted with respect including many officials. However many settlers from the St. Ark Federation in East Bistonian Shingleton welcomed Bistonian troops with violent gunfire and the region was given a bad reputation by generals assigned to the task of securing the island.
In 1961, a referendum was held on the design of a new flag for the State of Bistonian Shingleton and in the end of the referendum a new flag was designed and picked by the majority, the flag was given a named called the Shingleton Tricolour Flag with white, red and blue within the new flag, it was now the official and de facto flag for the newly created State of Bistonian Shingleton and in mid 1961 the flag was officially rolled out across the island.
In 1961 the following month elections were also held in Bistonia for the people to decide who would become the leader of the autonomous State of Bistonian Shingleton and as a result two candidates were chosen as the next leaders of the new State of Bistonian Shingleton, the first candidate as the new leader of the State of Bistonian Shingleton is Franklin Deon Cannon, a politician whose descendants root back to the settlers in the St. Ark Federation and is widely popular towards the general population in East Bistonian Shingleton and would be vilified by the Lithuanian majority West Bistonian Shingleton, the second candidate would be named Antanas Vitalijus Jankauskas who was a Bistonian politician originally from the island and widely popular among the general population in West Bistonian Shingleton, eventually as the 1961 Bistonian Shingleton elections rolled out Antanas Vitalijus Jankauskas eventually won the election and came into power as the first leader of the autonomous province of Bistonian Shingleton.
By the 1960s the Antanas administration had made attempts to drastically change Bistonian Shingleton such as shutting down coal and gold mines responsible for most of Bistonia's gold reserves and putting heavy investment into the tourism sector which resulted in the beginning of the Tourism Era, an era most of the population in Bistonian Shingleton would likely describe as the only era which brought prosperity and unity throughout the island, the Antanas administration was known to be slightly corrupt and would neglect the settler population in East Bistonian Shingleton in the hopes of gathering interest from the tourism industry and the administration would end in 1967 after an election between Antanas and the eventual future leader of Bistonian Shingleton, Ethelbert Landon Morriss.
====Tourism Era====
The Tourism Era in Bistonian Shingleton, also known as the Era of Prosperity among locals in the island, was an era which lasted from the beginning of the Antanas administration heavily investing into the tourism industry in 1962 and ended with the beginning of the Federation War and the sudden collapse of tourist interest in 1974 and 1976, this was known to be one of the most peaceful eras at the time and it gave Bistonian Shingleton a good reputation among the Bistonian population and thousands of tourists would flock to the island each year, with the island benefiting off of it, luxury hotels for the elite were constructed and casinos, notable landmarks and monuments were constructed as a result of the tourism boom including a huge amount of transportation and infrastructure projects such as the Green Line and the Bistonqwerty International Airport. 
In 1967, the Green Line was built extending from Bistonian Shingleton to the city of Jefferson in New Shingleton in the St. Ark Federation as part of their diplomatic relations during the Tourism Era, the construction of the Green Line was funded by both governments and funded by private banks, the Green Line extended from the city of Jefferson to the cities in Bistonian Shingleton, however eventually the Green Line would be partially abandoned in the aftermath of the Federation War which occured in 1974. 
In 1967, the Steven Ogg International Airport was constructed which would later on in 22 years the events of the game New Shingleton would begin, in 1969 additional facilities were constructed in the airport and in 1973 it had went under renovation, in 1974 it transitioned into an airforce base during the Federation War and would be abandoned for the next few years. 
The Tourism Era in Bistonian Shingleton would abruptly end as the outbreak of the Federation War began in 1974 between forces of the Republic of Bistonia and the forces of the St. Ark Federation, eventually Bistonian Shingleton would be occupied for a brief period and by this time the first violent conflict between the Lithuanian majority West Bistonian Shingleton and the St. Ark majority East Bistonian Shingleton broke out. 
==== Federation War (1974 - 1976) ====
The Federation War (aka. War on the Sea) was a war between the St. Ark Federation and the Republic of Bistonia which began in May 18th 1974 and ended in June 12th 1976 by the Treaty of New Shingleton, the war lasted 2 years and ended in an estimated 600,000 people dead and the Commonwealth of United Nations recognizing the genocide that occured and launching sanctions and bombarding the country, it is only mentioned in the New Shingleton lore. The goals of the St. Ark Federation were nearly similar to the justifications of war in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, their plans were to conquer and assert it's dominance over the Bistonian Sea, after Bistonia's announcement of discovering oil beneath their waters, and is rich in resources, the St. Ark Federation also plans to annex the Catholic majority South Bistonia and the second largest city in Bistonia, Mazoji.
==== Occupation ====
The State of Bistonian Shingleton in the Federation War would be invaded by forces from the St. Ark Federation and would be briefly occupied along with a military administration, the temporary military administration was heavily corrupt and unstable as the 1974 Bistonian Shingleton Conflict began along with a series of mutinies carried out by generals of the St. Ark Armed Forces and the constant occupation by the St. Ark Federation, with the 1975 Siege of Mazoji and the collapse of the frontline putting the Bistonian Shingleton military administration at danger of invasion by Bistonian forces, eventually they would evacuate and in 1976 the St. Ark Federation announced its unconditional surrender to the Republic of Bistonia and the treaty of New Shingleton would be signed, agreed and ratified by the St. Ark Federation.
The 1974 Bistonian Shingleton conflict began in the areas of West Bistonian Shingleton which had a majority population of Bistonians, with settlers from the St. Ark Federation siding in East Bistonian Shingleton, many of these Bistonians in West Bistonian Shingleton began rebelling against the military administration of the St. Ark Federation and reigned terror with bombings, assassinations of officials and eventually kidnapping, this made the western areas of Bistonian Shingleton known to be one of the dangerous fronts for troops stationed in the occupied territory of Bistonian Shingleton, as many had attempted to clear out the rebels, most of these rebels eventually in the aftermath of the Federation War began to form a group known as the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists, however the Bistonian Shingleton conflict was not known as a war against two sides, but known as a civil conflict.
As for many people in East Bistonian Shingleton, many people admired the occupation of Bistonian Shingleton and demanded the hosting of a vote to join the State of New Shingleton and the St. Ark Federation, many of these people in East Bistonian Shingleton also fought against guerilla rebels in West Bistonian Shingleton, sometimes often sending angry mobs of people to prosecute many Bistonians residing within Bistonian Shingleton, however many of these plans were halted and stopped as the military administration within Bistonian Shingleton fled and eventually Bistonian troops began taking over Bistonian Shingleton, eventually most of these people in East Bistonian Shingleton in the aftermath of the Federation War began to form a group known as the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists who would eventually fight eachother in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987.
The 1974 Bistonian Shingleton conflict would eventually begin a series of conflicts within the Bistonian Shingleton and contributed to hundreds of problems within the island throughout the decades as tensions between the two groups began rising up in the aftermath of the Federation War, it wasn't until 1987 when the Crimsonian-Bistonian War began and tension between Unionists and Seperatists began rising up and reigned terror throughout people within the island until an agreement was signed in 1992 ending all conflict with the Unionists and Seperatists within Bistonian Shingleton.
==== Aftermath ====
In 1976, the Federation War had completely ended and the State of Bistonian Shingleton would be restored back to its former glory, however the damage caused by the St. Ark Federation had been done and eventually Bistonian Shingleton would face a power vacuum and a decades long civil conflict and Bistonian Shingleton would still continue to lick its own wounds, infrastructure projects planned as an attempt to rebuild Bistonian Shingleton also failed as Federation and Lithuanian nationalist rebels would reign terror on streets across the cities of Bistonian Shingleton with car bombings, kidnappings and assassinations, eventually Bistonia had sent over 10,000 soldiers in an attempt to quell the violence and millions of dollars were also spent in the process despite their failures.
Along with the serious case of violent conflict between the two minorities, Bistonian Shingleton's reputation as a peaceful tourist attraction would be tarnished aswell, with thousands of people fearing their lives, it would also be considered one of the most dangerous places to live in and over hundreds of people would die monthly as a result of the violence, eventually most of these deaths would add more fuel to both seperatist and unionist nationalism which would further reign terror on the island until an agreement was signed in 1992.
==== Rise of seperatist nationalism ====
The rise of seperatist nationalism came as a result of the aftermath of the Federation War and the constant violence against settlers from the St. Ark Federation in East Bistonian Shingleton, the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists were formed in the aftermath of the Federation War after the union of many seperatist nationalist groups involved in insurgency attacks towards Bistonian and Federation soldiers, the BSS before the beginning of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War would patrol the streets of Shinglederry, New Jefferson and many other cities at night to protect their own people from violent attacks, eventually word came out that these patrols would often abuse many surrounding pedestrians and as a result many cities were contained. Seperatist nationalism also rose up due to the hosting of demonstrations and rallies calling for secession and equality. 
In 1980 in the aftermath of the Federation Civil War, General Fred Goldlock had plans to expand his military dictatorship throughout the surrounding regions, as a result General Fred Goldlock began focusing on funding the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists with weapons, ammunition, vehicles and uniforms despite the St. Ark Federation having heavy casualties by the St. Ark National Democratic Forces, after the Battle of Dimitri's Forest Roads, General Fred Goldlock started to cut the funding of the Federation military and spend it on investment towards paramilitary forces in Bistonian Shingleton, eventually Fred Goldlock's plans were discovered as ships transporting cargo from Bistonian Shingleton to the St. Ark Federation were caught with hundreds of stacks of weapons, an investigation was launched by Bistonian officials but the investigation was never pointed directly to the main command of the St. Ark Federation, as a result of Fred Goldlock exporting weapons to paramilitary forces the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists became powerful and heavily armed which posed a threat to Bistonian soldiers patrolling the streets of Bistonian Shingleton in the aftermath. 
==== Rise of unionist nationalism ====
The rise of unionist nationalism came as a result from both the aftermath of the Federation War and the rise of anti-Bistonian sentiment by the local population in East Bistonian Shingleton, along with the seperatists, unionist nationalism began spreading across West Bistonian Shingleton and as a result many local paramilitary groups were formed each with a task of defending Lithuanians from violence created by the seperatists, however there were many setbacks as the Bistonian Armed Forces saw the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists as another terrorist group similar to the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists, as a result many soldiers from the Bistonian Armed Forces began defecting to the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists in a drastic attempt to keep safety in the streets of Shinglederry and New Jefferson.
In 1981, corrupt politicians from the Republic of Bistonia began funding the Bistonian Armed Forces with advanced weapons and latest technology, allowing the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists to hold back the Seperatists for longer periods, however eventually they were caught red handed after an investigation was launched involving Bistonian intelligence and as a result the corrupt politicians involved in the funding of the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists were either imprisoned or fled the country, this would further contribute to discontent by the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists and in 1982 many districts fell underr the presence of the Unionists. They would later on join the Bistonian Free Army to fight against the Bistonian People's Republic and the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists in 1987 till 1992.
=== Crimsonian-Bistonian War (1987 - 1990) ===
The Crimsonian-Bistonian War was a massive scale conflict between the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the Republic of Bistonia which began in July 1987 and ended in late 1990 with the Treaty of Kraibrezhen which marked the end of the massive scale conflict. The war lasted 3 years and resulted in an estimated 1 million deaths and the massive manmade genocide occuring within the conflict. In the State of Bistonian Shingleton, the conflict was much more brutal and catastrophic and would face famine, genocide and eventually last 2 years after the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War.
In the aftermath of the Mazoji Revolution and the Crimsonian offensive through West Bistonia in 1988, civillians from the district of East Bistonian Shingleton began taking up arms and joining the Mazoji Revolution in return for an independent state, with the paramilitary group the BSS rising up among the ranks as the leading group against the Bistonian government, as a result half of the island was occupied by rebels and eventually the BSU also began rising up amongst the ranks in West Bistonian Shingleton and would join the Bistonian Armed Forces in combat against the rebels. Eventually during the midst of the conflict the Bistonian Armed Forces would withdraw from the island as their attempt to crush the BSS had ultimately failed, the Bistonian Shingleton by the late 80s became one of the most bloodiest and gruesome battles to ever exist before the beginning of the Northern Front in mainland Bistonia.
In September 3rd 1987, the Shingleton Genocide began in which the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists attempt to exterminate innocent civillians accused of affiliating with the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists and in an attempt to purify the island, bodies were piled up in mass graves across Shinglederry and Lithuanian villages were plundered and scorched in the midst of the Shingleton Genocide, as a result the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations also began directing most of its war efforts into Bistonian Shingleton, and would eventually launch Operation Schon as part of their peacekeeping efforts.
In September 23rd 1987, 20 days after the Shingleton Genocide, CUFN forces landed in West Bistonian Shingleton and occupied a large portion of Bistonias territory, leaving the territories in the middle to remain governed by the Bistonian government and the Free Bistonian Army to act as a buffer zone between the CUFN, the BPR and the Seperatists, eventually the partial occupation of Bistonian Shingleton led to the Bistonian People's Republic declaring war on the CUFN. By 1988 and the end of the war, Bistonian Shingleton was occupied by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, and the Free Bistonian Army, but still face heavy resistance and guerilla fighting by the revolutionaries, and they continue fighting until a peace agreement was signed in 1992 with all unionist and revolutionary paramilitary factions coming to peace.
==== Commonwealth of United and Free Nations occupation ====
The partial occupation of Bistonian Shingleton by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations began in 1987 as part of Operation Schon, a CUFN led operation in an attempt to establish buffer zones during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, as a result most of West Bistonian Shingleton was partially occupied by peacekeeper forces until the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1990. During the occupation, CUFN had made drastic attempts in evacuating many refugees from the island into several countries where they could set up a temporary life.
During the occupation, peacekeeper forces from the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations face discrimination and fierce attacks by seperatists across the insecure borders of the occupied territories, as a result of the seperatist attacks many landmines were set up near mountains and borders in a desperate attempt to prevent seperatists from trespassing within the borders of the territory, and the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations promised to many civillians living within the occupied territory were guaranteed rations and supplies by peacekeepers.
==== Bistonian People's Republic (1987 - 1988) ====
During the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, most of East Bistonian Shingleton came under the unrecognized puppet state known as the Bistonian People's Republic, a rump Crimsonian buffer state that emerged from the aftermath of the Mazoji Revolution in 1987, during the beginning of the Bistonian Shingleton conflict the Seperatists joined the Bistonian People's Republic in an attempt to combat the fragile remains of the Bistonian Armed Forces and the Unionists, however the Seperatists sparked major discontent among the divisions within the BPR and as a result the Seperatists remained fighting on their own despite East Bistonian Shingleton under the rule of the Bistonian People's Republic.
It wasn't until in 1988 after the Siege of Mazoji that the Bistonian People's Republic collapsed and what was left of East Bistonian Shingleton became a rumpt BPR remnant state under the Seperatists, it was fragile and many Seperatist divisions began fighting eachother for power over the unstable region until a new united seperatist front was established in another drastic attempt to destroy the unionists and the Bistonian Armed Forces, this however ended up in a decisive unionist victory and would eventually contribute to the Free Bistonian Army moving into the ungoverned spaces of Bistonian Shingleton which would force the seperatists to halt their advancements after their heavy defeat by forces of the FBA and the unionists in the Battle of Bistonqwerty International Airport. It would also led to the rump remnant state to collapse.
==== Free Bistonian Army intervention ====
The Free Bistonian Army began intervening in the Bistonian Shingleton Conflict and forming an alliance with Bistonian Shingleton Unionists after the near destruction of divisions belonging to the Bistonian Armed Forces, with their full intervention beginning in the aftermath of the Battle for Bistonqwerty International Airport after a clash between the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists at their temporary headquarters within the Grand Moylsturn Hotel, in the aftermath of the clash the Free Bistonian Army had decided to intervene within the conflict and forged an alliance with the Unionists, and eventually one of the generals of the Free Bistonian Army which had originated from Bistonian Shingleton, Ethelbert Landon Morriss, seized power in the ungoverned territories of Central Bistonian Shingleton, the epicentre for the conflict. His administration would last from the aftermath of the Battle for Bistonqwerty International Airport till the end in the Bistonian Shingleton Protests of 1997. 
During the intervention for the Free Bistonian Army, the Free Bistonian Army gave way for the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to secure their occupied territories and provide aid among the needy people, however an agreement was made with the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to provide loans for the Free Bistonian Army to purchase weapons needed to fight in the war in exchange for more protection among the CUFN buffer zone, in which tarnished the reputation for the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations during their situation in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War. 
As for the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists, they had fought along with the Free Bistonian Army and gave the FBA many directions to many seperatist holdings and hideouts within Bistonian Shingleton and their force was eventually strengthened with a new arsenal of weapons to fend off the seperatists themselves, eventually the seperatists with their equipment and weapons were soon weakened and fragile that they completely collapsed, leaving only a handful of seperatist divisions trying to defend East Bistonian Shingleton from any attacks and would often use ambush tactics in a drastic attempt to obtain the weapons from the unionist sides. 
By the events of New Shingleton in 1989, the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists face another clash with the Free Bistonian Army and the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists, forming another new front and trying to hit the Unionists and the FBA at its weakest points, many cities, roads and military bases belonging to the seperatists were captured and the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists were soon forced to hide within the mountainous areas as a result of the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army withdrawing from mainland Bistonia and stopping the flow of supply of ammunition towards the group. 
==== New Shingleton Incident (1989) ====
The New Shingleton Incident began in 1989 when the People's Republic of Crimsonia made a last ditch attempt to halt the migration of Bistonian refugees during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War by infiltrating in New Shingleton and the Steven Ogg International Airport and holding an entire Orange Airlines aircraft in hostage as part of their operation, however the St. Ark Police Force had destroyed Crimsonia's intentions by executing 4 of their spies involved in the operation, as a result Crimsonia would resort to Plan B by contacting a certain person known as Zhukov who had been involved in Crimsonian intelligence for a long time, and in the midnight hours minutes after takeoff, Zhukov had fired a missile towards the back of the aircraft destroying it into pieces and as a result all passengers were dead. This would eventually become another result of another catastrophe as the St. Ark Police Force fired towards the crowds as a drastic attempt to silence them and their attempt failed, causing many of the crowds to be violent and forced the St. Ark Police Force to crack down, leading to hundreds of people dead and sparking major protests as a result of the populations discontent including the collapse of General Fred Goldlocks military government. It also sparked major reactions to the world.
As for the reactions by people towards the New Shingleton Incident, these reactions were lacking due to the lack of telecommunications in Bistonian Shingleton which contributed to hundreds of people losing track of time and that communications in Bistonian Shingleton were destroyed as an attempt to ambush the FBA by Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists, at the time of the New Shingleton Incident the Free Bistonian Army and the Unionists were busy dealing with another united seperatist front and FBA headquarters would face attacks by BSS including the Grand Moylsturn Hotel situated in the Bistonqwerty International Airport, as news of the New Shingleton Incident finally spread across Bistonian Shingleton the reactions were fierce as it increased many attacks towards many of the local population in East Bistonian Shingleton, eventually in the aftermath of the New Shingleton Incident the Bistonian Armed Forces arrived temporarily in order to help out with the evacuation of Mazojiodesa and the Scattered Islands on their side while leaving many of the population on the St. Ark Federation side of the Scattered Islands to evacuate on their own.
In conclusion, the New Shingleton Incident further increased violence in Bistonian Shingleton despite the FBA's efforts in cooling down the tension within the region and in 1989 eventually the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists were finally weakened in the aftermath of the New Shingleton Incident after their heavy defeat and the collapse of the 3rd United Seperatist Front, by that point the BSS had withdrew from local villages and cities in Bistonian Shingleton and fled to areas with no government presence and dug up many military bases, these military bases would soon be used as a main center of command for another wave of attacks and eventually would further prolong the fate of the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists.
==== Crimsonian-Bistonian War aftermath ====
In August 1990, the Treaty of Kraibrezhen marked the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War with a decisive victory for both the Bistonian Armed Forces and the Free Bistonian Army and resulting in an ultimate defeat for the People's Republic of Crimsonia, in the aftermath of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, Bistonian Shingleton would only face another 2 years of instability, terrorist attacks and skirmishes by both the remnants of the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists and the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists before everything would be cooled down in the Shinglederry Agreement in 1992 only to be reignited by the Bistonian Shingleton protests in 1997. 
In the early morning hours of September 1990 both forces of the Bistonian Armed Forces and the Free Bistonian Army launched an operation to arrest and crack down on veterans involved in the Bistonian Shingleton Conflict, with the reasons for arrest being that most of these veterans were involved in carrying out terrorist attacks abroad in a terrible way of making most of the forces affiliated with the FBA to get away with war crimes committed, most of these veterans along with the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatist movement were detained and sent to a specially built prison where they would spend the rest of their sentences, most of the veterans that remained out of the FBA and BAFs way including the seperatists movement blamed the administration of Ethelbert Landon Morriss and as a result began arming fellow youth members nostalgic for the former Unionist movement in order to carry out attacks towards people in a desperate attempt to overthrow the government of Ethelbert Landon Morriss and establish a new administration in Bistonian Shingleton. 
As for Bistonian Shingleton, the cities of Shinglederry, New Jefferson and Londonberry had been partially destroyed as a result of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, and many attempts to rebuild the city and for many people to settle into the city had failed due to seperatist attacks in the way, as a result many people still remain in refugee camps established by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, there was barely any presence of police which contributed to the rise of organized crime and terrorism in Bistonian Shingleton. As a result of the instability within Bistonian Shingleton, the Bistonian Armed Forces were deployed to Bistonian Shingleton to quell it and would contribute to the beginning of a two year event, many of the Bistonian governments attempts to fund the rebuilding of Bistonian Shingleton also failed as Ethelbert Landon Morriss and his administration began stealing money to fund his private assets. 
In 1991, eventually the instability of Bistonian Shingleton began rising at its peak as tensions between the Seperatist remnants and the remaining youth brigades belonging to the Unionists began clashing towards eachother in major cities which would result in hundreds dead and more BAF forces deployed to the main cities, the Bistonian government had finally reacted towards the dire situation in Bistonian Shingleton and over a million dollars were spent in rebuilding the city, however the mass rampant corruption by Ethelbert Landon Morriss continued all throughout 1997 and in 1992 the Bistonian government eventually found a way to convince both the seperatists and the unionist brigades to settle peace, it would be known as the Shinglederry Agreement. 
=== Shinglederry Agreement (1992) ===
The Shinglederry Agreement is an agreement created by the Bistonian government in 1992 in order to settle peace in Bistonian Shingleton between the two sides so there would be a brief period of stability within the province, the Shinglederry Agreement was signed by both the seperatists and the unionists including all of their brigades, the Shinglederry Agreement promises peace and stability towards the region and amnesty for all Bistonian political prisoners including the disarming of many of the seperatists and unionists and the release of all prisoners from their specially built prison, the Bistonian government also promises the rehabilitation of many children and soldiers who had catched PTSD during the conflict including the guarantee of the rebuilding of highways, railways and many more damaged as a result of the conflict.
However, there were many negative sides towards the agreement as Ethelbert Landon Morriss, the former commander of the Free Bistonian Army which had taken power over Bistonian Shingleton, still remained in power and continue his spree of rampant corruption across Bistonian Shingleton, this led to many influential people within the ranks claiming they've signed the agreement for nothing in return but for more failures by the Bistonian government, the other negative sides towards the agreement involves the rehabilitation of children and soldiers that experienced the war and had PTSD as a result of the war, facilities that were promised to be constructed by the Bistonian government were never met and never constructed and children and soldiers did not recall any treatment or rehabilitation. The most negative part of the Shinglederry Agreement was that many seperatists still continue to resist against Bistonian Shingleton, many youth gangs across small towns in Bistonian Shingleton were influenced and nostalgic for both the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists and Seperatists and created a youth movement, sending death threats towards those they saw as opponents.
=== 1997 Bistonian Shingleton Protests ===
The 1997 Bistonian Shingleton Protests began as a result of major discontent towards Ethelbert Landon Morriss, the leader of Bistonian Shingleton who would gain his reputation as a dictator after his rise to power over the state during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1988 after the Battle for Bistonqwerty International Airport, during his rule he had stolen millions of dollars from his people and the Bistonian government during the process of rebuilding the state for his private assets and would become the richest man in all of Bistonian Shingleton, he would often host parties while many of the people continue to struggle making ends meet which would later contribute to his downfall.
In the early morning hours of July 17th 1997, factory workers demonstrated against Ethelbert Landon Morriss in the downtown streets of the city of Shinglederry for better working conditions, later on over time it grew from a small demonstration of factory workers into a massive demonstration in the city of Shinglederry, eventually many other cities in Bistonian Shingleton followed along with the demonstration against Ethelbert Landon Morriss and 5 days into the demonstrations it turned violent as Ethelbert Landon Morriss sent many of his police forces to crack down on protests and in July 21st 1997 live shots were fired, eventually many of the protesters began raiding several police stations throughout Bistonian Shingleton and took up arms, eventually outnumbering police, as a result the Bistonian government became aware of the violent protests and in August 3rd 1997 the BAF would be deployed to Bistonian Shingleton and ousted Ethelbert Landon Morriss in the process, a new and fair administration was set up in the aftermath of the incident but eventually it would reignite anti-Bistonian sentiment including the rise of the Seperatist and Unionist movement. 
== Terrorist Attacks ==
Ever since the 70s, Bistonian Shingleton has a lengthy history of terrorist attacks carried out by Seperatists and Unionists including a variety of groups from the extreme left including terrorist attacks connected and linked to Crimsonian intelligence, most of the attacks have been bombings utilising improvised explosive devices. The Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists carried out a series of bombings and assassination attempts throughout the 80s. A number of attacks associated with the Crimsonian-Bistonian War took place in the 80s. Various seperatists brigades carried out shootings and bombings in the 70s and 80s mainly in the city of Shinglederry. The last year without any recorded terrorist attacks were in the year 1984.

== Modern Day ==
Today, the State of Bistonian Shingleton remains one of the most dangerous states in the Republic of Bistonia, despite their slow progression into stability, the State of Bistonian Shingleton remains to be chaotic decades after the Shinglederry Agreement and the protests that occured in 1997, ethnic tensions and violence still ensue in the province and many police forces are required to wear heavily protective gear in order to carry out their operations, gang attacks were still rampant throughout the city and the State of Bistonian Shingleton would still be continued to be seen as Bistonia's negative side as the beacon of democracy and freedom.
The Bistonian Shingleton Unionists continue to exist as a political party and they had been disarmed decades ago, with the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists ceasing to exist as a faction today. The legacy that brought on by both factions spread to the youth and nostalgia for the once powerful factions in the island continue to rise up.
It is unknown what happens to the State of Bistonian Shingleton after the Third Great War resulted in a catastrophic nuclear war in 2079.

The outskirts of the city also would be filled with ghettos and old Crimsonian-era apartments.
=== New Jefferson ===
The city of Shinglederry is the second largest city and the main capital of West Bistonian Shingleton, it has a population of 500,000 and in the 50s it was a massive tourist attraction with several resorts built across the city, now in the modern day it would still become dangerous as violent crime is rampant across the city, despite that it would be filled with landmarks dedicated to the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists and many notable landmarks dating back to the 19th centuries are situated mostly there.

=== Bistonian Shingleton Unionists ===
THEY DON'T EXIST
===Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists===
The Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists are part of a rebel force affiliated with the Seperatist movement, it was formed in 1974 as a union of all seperatist militia in the aftermath of the Federation War in 1974 and it would be funded by the St. Ark Federation in the 1980s, their main goals in the Bistonian Shingleton Conflict is to secede from the Republic of Bistonia and join the St. Ark Federation either as East Bistonian Shingleton or the entire province itself, despite being funded by the People's Republic of Crimsonia and joining the Bistonian People's Republic, the seperatist movement is more distant from Crimsonia and the BPR and their affiliation, and the BSS only joined the Crimsonian side of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War to gain more ammunition and supplies in the front.
The seperatists in Bistonian Shingleton were well equipped and organized during the beginning of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, but however after uniting into a single front for 3 times they had all been defeated under the hands of forces from the Free Bistonian Army and the Bistonian Shingleton Unionists, as a result they have resorted to organizing bomb attacks across the city of Shinglederry and across cities in Bistonian Shingleton, and the Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists had an efficient supply of bombs to use against people in Bistonian Shingleton.
By 1992, the Seperatists in Bistonian Shingleton eventually stopped their violent rampage after the signing of the Shinglederry Agreement and most of their soldiers have been released and given political amnesty, they also have been disarmed of any weapons and currently in the modern era they serve as a political party.
