Crimsonia

== About ==
The Republic of Crimsonia (Crimsonian: Република Кримсония) is a Eastern Meosthemian country bordering Kraychovsk and Pogranitzem from the north, Vardarija from the west, and the Huelos Republic to the south, while also bordering Bistonia by the east on the island of Arshturn. Crimsonia is widely known in the region as a middle power, and has its own history dating back thousands of years. The capital of the Republic of Crimsonia is Kradovo, which also served as Crimsonia's historical capital for centuries. Currently the president of Crimsonia is Ventsislav Sergei, who has been president of Crimsonia since his entry into office in the year of 2003. Crimsonia's population is estimated to be at around 21.2 million according to Crimsonian census records in 2010. Crimsonia's status in Eastern Mesothemia has been largely seen among journalists and politicians across the continent as controversial, due to its declaration of war on Kraychovsk in 2010, illegally annexing the Tachovskoe Region located in southern Kraychovsk. It had also gained a foothold in the recent civil war in Wilnotarn, occupying the northern coasts of the country after the pro-Crimsonian government there had collapsed after the Wilnotarn Civil War. Crimsonia's government has also been widely seen to the world as an "increasingly authoritarian regime", and it has been kept that way since Ventsislav came into office. The country was ranked lowest on the democracy index, including alleged human rights violations, massive scandals and corruption at a large scale which has plagued the country for decades. 
Crimsonia's history began during the 3rd century, when the Crimsons, a nomadic Turkic group originating from the steppes, migrated to the modern-day city of Telvinra, driving out the Varitcheds from their homes. The Crimsons soon assimilated and adopted cultures from the Slavs, which soon brought Christianity to the Crimsons under the Bardan dynasty. The Bardan kingdom was partitioned and another Crimsonian kingdom was formed under the Aron dynasty, which soon expanded their boundaries on the mainland. The Arons were soon overthrown by the Posloks who later on established the Poslok dynasty. The Posloks soon expanded Crimsonia's territorial control outside of the mainland, conquering the Bistonian Empire in 1673 and the rest of it by the 1680s. The Posloks were soon conquered by the Beyliks, who placed Crimsonia under their rule for centuries until 1801, when the Crimsonians revolted against the Beyliks and gained independence. 
The Kingdom of Crimmitonia was established the following year, with the Beyliks handing over Bistonia, Wilnotarn and Arshturn over to the Crimmitonians. The Kingdom of Crimmitonia prospered throughout the 1800s, seeing a revival in Crimsonian culture and the rise of Crimsonian literature and a new intelligentsia. Crimmitonia's rise was further accelerated by a growing industry, with its development further boosted as a result of Crimmitonia's emancipation during a series of reforms in 1875 which effectively abolished serfdom in the country. Railways were being built across the entire country, including railway networks in Bistonia leading from New Vilnius to Mazoji. The towns and cities in Crimmitonia underwent rapid development as a result of these progressions. Crimsonia had essentially risen to become a middle power, annexing Kraychovsk and incorporating it within their borders. In the 1900s, Crimmitonia intervened in a war against the Beyliks in what is known as the Beylik War, gaining additional territory and forming the modern-day borders south of Crimsonia. 
However, the war with the Beyliks was not enough, Crimmitonia wanted more. In 1913, Crimmitonia would soon go to war against its neighbors, beginning the Crimmitonian Gamble which greatly diminished Crimmitonia's status as a middle power in the region and had forced the Crimmitonians to cede territory that they had gained, including Kraychovsk, which was occupied by neighboring Pogranitzem and gained independence as a republic. This loss soon drove the Crimmitonians to join the First Great War on the side of the Ruralians, committing atrocities, occupying Kraychovsk and the Vardarija region, and bombing St. Ark which led to the Columbian intervention in the war. The Crimmitonians eventually lost in the war by 1918 and the monarchy was dissolved, which led to the establishment of the Republic of Crimmitonia. The new democracy was an unstable one, having went through an economic crisis before being eventually overthrown by Crimsonian generals who were pro-Ruralian. The monarchy was restored the following year which led to the creation of the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia, although the monarchy was mostly ceremonial. The country soon underwent a rearmament program which brought advancements to the Crimmitonian Army which was made possible by the Ruralians. They soon engaged in campaigns, such as the Ruralian invasion of Zedrutia and the occupations, where the Crimmitonian Army was suspected of committing war crimes. The Crimmitonians had also put Kraychovsk under occupation, declaring it to be annexed. 
The Crimmitonians were soon forced to surrender when Orchestranians launched an offensive, forcing the Pogranitzems to defect to their side. They soon launched an offensive towards Dimitrovgrad and Groshnica, and when the Orchestranians moved towards Kradovo unopposed, Jargus IV signed an unconditional surrender and declared that they joined on the side of the Orchestranians. The remaining Crimmitonians who were pro-Ruralian and loyal soon fled to Arshturn in exile where they were soon forced to surrender. Jargus IV soon abdicated and the monarchy was abolished, which led to the restoration of the democratic government known as the Second Republic of Crimmitonia. After the war parts of Crimmitonia were put under occupation, and the situation in post-war Crimmitonia soon began a conflict between the Crimmitonian democratic government and the Communist Party of Crimmitonia, which had begun a civil war in the Kraychovsk border region. In what was known as the Crimsonian Civil War from 1946 to 1951, the Communist Party of Crimmitonia had drove out the Crimmitonian democratic government from the mainland, and soon had made it collapse, putting all remaining territories, including Arshturn, WIlnotarn and Bistonia, under the communists. The People's Republic of Crimsonia was declared after the communists declared victory in their civil war. 
== History ==
=== Origins ===
The history of the region which is now located in modern-day Crimsonia dates back to the 3rd century, when the land was initially inhabited by an ethnic group now known as the Varitcheds, which inhabited the coastal regions in what is now known as the city of Telvinra, the coastal port of Provadia and Tarnovtsa, where the Varitcheds established coastal settlements and had inhabited the regions for centuries. The region came under the control of the Mesothemian Empire, until the empire had collapsed and the region subsequently seceded in the 4th century. Crimsonians, which did not inhabit or migrate to the land yet at this time, were simply known as the Crimsons, a nomadic tribal group which originated from the central steppes, being given the name due to their reputation for causing brutal attacks against their neighbors and building a culture on blood.
However, the Varitcheds were eventually wiped off from existence. By the time they had seceded and formed their own kingdoms, which were one of the first kingdoms to be formed in Crimsonia, they were met with an unlucky fate, as the Slavic migrations began into the continent, resulting in the displacement of most ethnic groups around the regions, with the Varitcheds being one of them. The Crimsons, which began their migration several years ago, swept through the territories of the Varitcheds, and massacred most of their populations, and afterwards settled in the land. For the next few decades, the Crimsons, being mostly decentralized and lacking a presence of a government, became a eyesore towards many of its neighbors, including their Slavic neighbors.
=== Bardan dynasty (828 - 1057) ===
The Crimson kingdoms, which were decentralized, were united and came under the rule of Bardan in 828, which was Crimsonia's first king. He established the Bardan dynasty and soon began expanding his kingdom by invading his neighbors and imposing fur taxes on many of the towns it conquered. Soon eventually the Bardan kingdom thrived due to its abundant supply of fur and slaves. Soon, the Bardan kingdom established trade with its neighbors, establishing the port cities which would soon be known as Telvinra and Drein. These trade connections would soon enrich the Bardan kingdom, funding its earliest military forces and the construction of palaces, fortifications and towns.
Foreign merchants from abroad, along with missionaries were sent to the Bardan kingdom, influencing the Crimsons and bringing them Christianity. According to Crimson legend, Bardan's son, who ascended the throne as the second king of Crimsonia in 873, was the first Crimsonian to embrace Christianity, and became a tradition to celebrate his conversion to Christianity. After the Crimsons adopted Christianity, they soon became one of the earliest cultural centers of the Slavs. They soon developed one of the earliest scripts for the Cyrillic alphabet shortly after, and soon the Bardan kingdom became an empire in the region, conquering the modern-day regions of Glodzhev, Koshow and up to Dimovo. However, due to a secession crisis, the Bardan kingdom was soon destroyed and divided up by most of its neighbors. 
=== Aron dynasty (1198 - 1359) ===
After the Bardan kingdom was destroyed, the Crimson heartland was divided up by most of its neighbors, and for centuries the Crimsons were left without a state and were pacified. However, as most of these neighboring kingdoms were beginning to decline, a revolt broke out in 1187 which was led by Aron, and soon Aron's forces swept through and liberated most of the land owned by the Crimsons, and only stopped when he had liberated all Crimson lands from the kingdoms which had divided them. After most of them had been expelled out from the Crimson heartland, Aron established a kingdom which proclaimed itself as the successor to Bardan's dynasty.
=== Radomir dynasty (1556 - 1689) ===
=== Poslok dynasty (1689 - 1701) ===
=== Beylik rule (1701 - 1801) ===
=== First Kingdom of Crimmitonia (1801 - 1918) ===
During the aftermath of Crimmitonia's independence, Bistonia Vilayet and several other kingdoms were given to the Kingdom of Crimmitonia as part of an agreement with the declining Ottoman Empire, in 1858 most of Bistonia was colonized and an industrial revolution raged in Crimmitonia, in 1863 the city of Kradovo was proclaimed its capital of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia.
The final days of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia began when in 1914 it agreed to join against the allied powers of Mesothemia as part of an imperial competition, Crimmitonia along with its troops managed to invade Greece and Serbia, and then eventually annexing Northern Dobruja, Macedonia and parts of coastal Greece, it attempted to destroy the industrial sectors supplying the United States of Megaton and Columbia but failed.
The First Kingdom of Crimmitonia was eventually dissolved in 1919 after surrendering to the allied powers, and as part of a peace treaty between the two sides, the Republic of Crimmitonia was established but was a weak and unstable democratic government faced with a heavy task of rebuilding and facing heavy reparations, including with a shortage of 100,000 men.
== First Republic of Crimmitonia (1919 - 1941) ==
The First Republic of Crimmitonia was established after the dissolution of the Kingdom of Crimmitonia and the abdication of the king, because of the signing of the peace treaty and agreements made by the allies of Mesothemia, it was faced with a heavy task of rebuilding and paying heavy reparations to the allies, and was a weak and unstable democratic government.
Occupation zones were set up by the allies of Mesothemia in Bistonia and the republic agreed to a creation of a free city state within West Bistonia, which contributed to a population decline in the surrounding regions around the free city.
The First Republic of Crimmitonia also suffered from an economic crisis, the first republic lasted around 30 years until in 1941, a coup d'etat overthrowed the president of Crimmitonia, reestablishing the kingdom and placing it with a pro far right king.
== Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia (1941 - 1945) ==
During the coup d'etat, the Second Great War occured as the far-right spread their ideologies across Europe, dividing and occupying countries, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia followed along with the far-right as an agreement was signed with them, promising to join their side in exchange for Greek and Yugoslav territories, and in late 1941 it declared war on Yugoslavia to help with the invasion of Greece, after the war Macedonia and most of Northern Greece was annexed within the kingdom and incorporated as territories.
Crimmitonia also bombarded New Shingleton State as another way to devastate the industry, it managed to succeed but failed to takeover the Dominion of St. Ark, and in 1944 Crimmitonia's troops were in a stalemate, but in mid 1944, Soviet troops managed to break into Eastern Mesothemia, capturing most of Dobruja within 1 month, a massive operation was launched to invade Crimmitonia and in late 1944, Kradovo was finally captured, this forced Crimmitonia to sign a peace treaty and an agreement to switch sides in the war.
During the aftermath of the war, the Second Kingdom of Crimmitonia was dissolved after another peace treaty provided by the allied powers of Mesothemia, occupation zones were set up as Greece and Turkey occupy South Crimmitonia, and several occupation zones by the allies were established within Bistonia, the State of Trobvinka was established as a Yugoslav buffer state between the two countries, and the Republic of Crimmitonia was reestablished.
== Second Republic of Crimmitonia (1945 - 1949) ==
The Second Republic of Crimmitonia was established in late 1945 after the dissolution of the royal authoritarian Kingdom of Crimmitonia, because of the Red Terror on Mesothemia, the Second Republic of Crimmitonia was heavily anti-communist, and cracked down on freedom of speech, the Republic of Crimmitonia was faced with a heavy task with rebuilding the country and reviving the nearly destroyed economy. Crimmitonia's military was heavily weakened due to the Second Great War which made it poorly equipped.
The instability of the second republic and it's heavy crackdown on communism gave birth to the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front, formed by one of the remnants of the Fatherland Front, aimed to establish a one-party state within Crimmitonia, and end the authoritarian second republic, it reigned terror near occupied Southern Dobruja, and the State of Trebvinka, it was more of a guerilla force until in 1946 the communist bloc signed an agreement to give Southern Dobruja to the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front.
The Second Republic of Crimmitonia's final days lasted in 1949 as the Crimsonian Civil War destroyed the Crimmitonian army and forcing them to retreat to the colony of Bistonia in exile, the remnants attempted to hold onto Kradovo but in mid 1949 it was captured by the CRPF, people gathered within the streets of Kradovo to celebrate the end of the republic.
== State of Trebvinka (1946 - 1950) ==
The State of Trebvinka, otherwise known as Repvika, was an independent breakaway state served as a buffer zone between Yugoslavia and the Second Republic of Crimmitonia, it comprised of villages near the Macedonian and Greek borders, the territories of the newly created state were expanded between the later years of the state, the State of Trebvinka lasted 4 years until it was annexed as an agreement by Yugoslavia and the People's Republic of Crimsonia.
The State of Trebvinka was heavily dependant on Yugoslavia due to an agreement signed keeping Trebvinka away from trading and being dependant on Crimmitonia, the State of Trebvinka used Yugoslav currency and used Yugoslav passports despite being an independent buffer state established by Yugoslavia, the State of Trebvinka was mainly rural areas, the state had no capital and was more as part of a state within Yugoslavia.
The State of Trebvinka after 4 years finally dissolved and annexed within the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1950 after an agreement was signed between the two countries.
== Crimsonian Civil War (1946 - 1949) ==
The Crimsonian Civil War began as forces of the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front began clashing with forces of the Crimmitonian army after the handover of Southern Dobruja as a base to takeover Crimmitonia, forces of the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front had guerilla tactics that devastated the army, and eventually became a threat to Crimmitonia, the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front eventually became powerful from a peasant army to a powerful revolutionary force aimed to takeover Crimmitonia.
In the overseas territories of Crimmitonia, with the help from the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front, the Bistonian People's Liberation Army was established as a branch of the CRPF, the Bistonian People's Liberation Army was aimed at taking over Bistonia while the CRPF focuses heavily on the mainland, the BPLA was much more effective than the CPRF, the Crimsonian Civil War in Bistonia was the bloodiest front within the conflict.
The Crimsonian Civil War lasted a painful 3 years and eventually ended in 1949 as Kradovo and New Vilnius were captured, and Crimmitonian remnants forced the civil war into 1953. The People's Republic of Crimsonia was proclaimed in late 1949 and received global attention by the world, Thomas Cromwell, who was serving his first term as president of the United States of Megaton and Columbia, said that the last hope of a democracy within and deep inside the communist bloc fell, and their hopes of ever achieving that ended.
== Early years of Crimsonia ==
During the early years of Crimsonia and the takeover of Crimmitonia by the CPRF, the man known as Georgi Dimitrov returned to Crimmitonia after 20 years in exile, and was proclaimed as General Secretary of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, during the early years of Crimsonia, religions within the newly created communist state were restrained or banned in the state, the Orthodox Church continued functioning in the state but never regained the influence.
In mid 1950, Georgi Dimitrov suddenly passed away and Crimsonia adopted collective leadership as part of their socialist economic reforms, a new leader led the Crimmitonian Communist Party, the leadership didn't last long as the prime minister of the People's Republic of Crimsonia also suddenly passed away, the new leadership started a process of rapid industrialization and agriculture was collectivised.
During the early years of Crimsonia, these socialist economic reforms and rapid industrialization and the collectivisation of agriculture worsened Bistonia's post war rebuilding, as the collectivisation of agriculture forced millions of rural villagers to starve in Crimsonia, a great famine occured but was largely ignored by the Crimsonian government as it was focusing more on industrialization than agriculture.
The neglect within Bistonia contributed to the beginning of the Bistonian Conflict, a civil war that forced Crimsonia to recognize the independence of the Republic of Bistonia, and lose territories and their main Bistonian Sea.
== Sidanian-Ruralian War (1950) ==
Sidan's aim in the war was to liberate the Union of Ruralia and establish an anti-communist government with the help of the newly founded Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, and with aid from the United States of Megaton and Columbia and help from the Crown Union, the war went into several stalemates and ceasefires, with no major breakthrough within the war.
Because of the declaration of war on the Union of Ruralia, the People's Republic of Crimsonia sent an ultimatium to the Third Sultanate of Sidan to agree to a ceasefire and the end of the war or face heavy bombing, the Sultanate of Sidan and the sultan declined the ultimatium, declaring that the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations protect their civillians from heavy bombardment, this contributed to the Sidanian Revolution.
The Sidanian Revolution began during the late phases of the war against Ruralia, as the Sultanate of Sidan declined a 24 hour ultimatium sent by the People's Republic of Crimsonia to stop the war and agree to a peace treaty between the two sides, as Crimsonia's airforce began it's bombardment of Sidan and its large cities which contributed to the beginning of the Sidanian Revolution and the end of tyranny in the country.
Sidan was heavily bombed by the Crimsonian airforce and nearly collapsed the Sultanate of Sidan, parliament was bombed including several palaces owned by the sultan, highways and pipelines that sustained the population with water were damaged, power plants were destroyed leaving no power in the large cities, hospitals were overrun with injured people, thousands died within the heavy bombardments.
The dissolvation of the Third Sultanate of Sidan began the establishment of the Republic of Sidan, an unstable government also given the task of rebuilding after the bombardments caused by the war and the nearly dying economy, the Republic of Sidan was still at war with the Union of Ruralia, protests were still occuring against the new government aswell as demonstrations by Amphicians in the south.
The Republic of Sidan was an unstable democratic government assigned the task of rebuilding again after the war against Ruralia, in 1952 peace agreements were signed to end the war and a demilitarized zone was established between the borders of Sidan and Ruralia, the leftover sections of the wall that were damaged by the war were demolished and border walls and heavy checkpoints were established.
== Bistonian Conflict (1957 - 1960) ==
The People's Republic of Crimsonia prospered except for their overseas territories, Bistonia was completely damaged in the post-war recovery of Crimsonia as due to the economic reforms imposed by the government, the population in Bistonia were devastated by the economic reforms and the neglect of agriculture within the country as seen in the famine.
In January 23rd 1957, small demonstrations in New Vilnius, West Bistonia, Mazoji, Bistonian Shingleton, turned into massive riots aiming to force Crimsonia into recognizing the independence of Bistonia, the leadership of Crimsonia cracked down on violent protestors, and abducted activists opposing against Crimsonia's actions and their economic reforms, mass riots led to the National Guard within Crimsonia to shoot protestors with live ammunition, rebel groups within Bistonia began to support the riots and began fighting which devastated Crimsonian forces.
The Bistonian Conflict gained global attention across the world, with the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to impose sanctions after Crimsonia's refusal to allow CUFN peacekeepers within Bistonia, and the President of the United States of Megaton and Columbia, Thomas Cromwell, responding to the Bistonian Conflict as the greatest crime against humanity in history, and responding with a threat for war.
The newly created Mesothemian Organization planned to prepare a full invasion with the help of the Bistonian insurgency in Bistonia, and planned to bombard Kradovo in order for them to accept the ultimatium of recognizing the independence of Bistonia, people began fleeing from the communist regime to the St. Ark Federation.
The leadership within Crimsonia was forced by the entire world and in response, it was forced to recognize Bistonia's independence after 3 years of the conflict, and in mid 1960, the Republic of Bistonia was proclaimed, but was not given Wilnotarn and Arshturn due to an agreement they signed agreeing to independence, because of Crimsonia's decision, the United States of Megaton and Columbia halted sanctions along with the Mesothemian Organization, because of this decision, Crimsonia lost a chunk of territory and their main focus on the Bistonian Sea, but they managed to keep the Bistonian islands of Wilnotarn and Arshturn, because of that the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic was still continuing to function.
== Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict (1958 - 1960) ==
The Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict was a conflict between the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the Zedrutian military government, however the conflict was barely recognized and known throughout the population of both these countries, as both the Zedrutian and Crimsonian militaries control the press inside the country, and covering up information about the war afterwards, this conflict was not known until the leaking of documents after the fall of the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1995.
The Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict was a very small conflict between the Crimsonian and Zedrutian navy, then the conflict evolved into a potential threat to the Zedrutian army and the Crimsonian armies, eventually the Zedrutian army preformed well in containing the conflict, but it went out of control after another clash with troops, the People's Republic of Crimsonia threatened the Zedrutian army with force to stop and halt the flow of troops into the conflict or face bombardment.
The Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict lasted two years and during this conflict it had killed hundreds of troops, most of the islands nearby Zedrutia were completely destroyed and an evacuation was imposed, the conflict carved a deep legacy and nearly caused the imminent destruction of Zedrutia, however most of the populations of Crimsonia and Zedrutia did not know about the conflict except for a few high ranking officials, documents describing the war were also kept hidden in archives.
The Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict was also on the verge of contributing to a major nuclear war and the complete destruction of Zarush, but was immediately halted after an agreement was signed demilitarizing the nearby seas, the Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict also contributed to the eventual downfall of the military junta and the creation of the Second Republic of Zedrutian.
== Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic (1960 - 1990) ==
The decision made by the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the proclamation of the Republic of Bistonia in 1960, the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic was devastated as they continued to exist and function as an overseas province by Crimsonia, leaving only Wilnotarn and Arshturn governed by the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic.
In 1961, Kraibrezhen was proclaimed as the capital of the autonomous socialist republic, because of the continued economic reforms and the neglect of agriculture within the Bistonian section, ethnic tensions were high between the Crimsonians in Kraibrezhen and Bistonians in the south.
In the mid 70s, it was used as a base for 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 mid 1987, the Crimsonian-Bistonian War began, Wilnotarn became the hotspot for Bistonian spies but in 1989, Crimsonia's situation took a turn for the worse as Crimsonia was too weak fighting the war due to the harsh terrain and guerilla tactics by revolutionary groups and the Bistonian Armed Forces, and the terrifying Free Bistonian Army, most of Kraibrezhen's budget was spent funding local militias and relying on them to fight against Bistonian troops.
An offensive was planned to march towards New Vilnius and destroy the barrier controlled by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, but it left Wilnotarn and Arshturn vulnerable as Crimsonian troops were heavily defeated by CUFN peacekeepers, the Crimsonian army was terrified and immediately withdrew from Bistonia, leaving Wilnotarn vulnerable to invasion by the Free Bistonian Army.
In April 23rd 1989, Bistonian troops landed, which caused panic in the capital, hundreds fled as Crimsonian troops fought around the clock to defend the island, rebels also joined the FBA, which caused attacks across Kraibrezhen, Bistonia occupied half of Southern Wilnotarn and Crimsonia was at a heavy defeat.
In February 6th 1990, Bistonian troops and rebels entered and captured the capital of Kraibrezhen, successfully occupying the whole Wilnotarn, the island of Arshturn was heavily sieged aswell and troops immediately surrendered, in the treaty, the Crimsonian-Bistonian Socialist Republic was officially dissolved and the island of Wilnotarn and Eastern Arshturn were annexed and incorporated into the Provisional Government of Bistonia.
== Greco-Crimsonian War (1970) ==
The Greco-Crimsonian War was a fight against the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the military junta of Greece, somewhere between the early 70s, the war was aimed to end the military junta of Greece and assert their dominance over the Telvinra Sea and reclaim ocean territories stolen by Greece from before the war, in 1970 the People's Republic of Crimsonia declared war against the military junta of greece.
The border was the most devastating front of them all as Greek and Crimsonian troops heavily clashed between the border, the Greek troops were poorly equipped which gave Crimsonia the opportunity to advance through the border, and in the sea, naval wars were fought, because of the weakened state of the military junta in the war, the Greek Navy was nearly destroyed and because of several cities being bombarded by Crimsonia, the Greek military junta was forced to sign for peace.
The Greek military junta was forced to step down, and most of the territories stolen from Crimsonia were annexed into the state, this ended 7 years of military authoritarian dictatorship in Greece under the colonels, as CUFN attempted to settle the war between the two, the Greek Navy was nearly destroyed and the economy was on the verge of collapsing.
== Crimsonian-Bistonian War (1987 - 1990) ==
Main article: Crimsonian-Bistonian War
=== Invasion of Wilnotarn and Arshturn ===
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.
After Southern Wilnotarn fell to the Bistonian Armed Forces, Bistonian ships then arrived south of the city of Ribolov and then bombarded the city for hours, killing thousands of people in the process. Then, waves of Bistonian troops were transported to the coasts of East Arshturn, and the following day Bistonian ground forces began the invasion. Along with the situation in Wilnotarn, Crimsonian troops were desperate and lacked resources in order to defend the territories from ground invasion, Arshturn became one of the bloodiest frontlines during the invasion as the city of Ribolov was constantly bombarded. Lithuanian civillians also then took up arms and revolted against the Crimsonian government for the final time, and in April 1990, after the capture of the city of Kraibrezhen, Bistonian troops rolled in with tanks into the city of Ribolov, after weeks of heavy clashes against exhausted Crimsonian troops. After Bistonian troops rolled into Eastern Ribolov, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations then responded to the situation after giving Bistonia several warnings for the invasion of Wilnotarn, peacekeeper forces then moved into the city of Ribolov, where they received scrutiny and fierce resistance by civillians, after hours of clashes with both Bistonian and Crimsonian troops, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations managed to force Bistonia and Crimsonia into signing a peace agreement, despite an agreement being signed by Crimsonia weeks prior. They then accepted it and a treaty was being set up.
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.
After the intervention by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, clashes between Bistonian and Crimsonian troops were rampant, and ceasefires were often violated nearly every single week, with thousands more dead in the conflict. Then, later on, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations then came up with the Treaty of Telvinra, and forced Crimsonia to sign it.
== Kyric Village Incident (1988) ==
The Kyric Village Incident was the most devastating event in Mesothemia and Crimsonia, as it nearly made most of Crimsonia uninhabitable including Mesothemia, the incident also revealed the genocide that occured within the village by Crimsonian troops, and nearly 100,000 people in the incident died of the blast or the intense radiation they suffered throughout.
Kyric Village was a normal village near the border of Greece and Crimsonia, due to the agricultural reforms it was forced to abandon the agricultural industry, leaving fields reused as industrial areas for the city, the village's main power source was a nuclear power plant nearby the village and nearby a river, small wooden houses were built by the government in order to help with the increase of demands for housing, a railway also extends to the village but was barely used,
Kyric Village doesn't have a good side, as it serves as a hotspot for Greek rebels who aimed for revenge for the Greco-Crimsonian War, which forced the regions surrounding Kyric Village to be heavily fortified by Crimsonian troops, underground tunnels were also deep inside the village, suddenly in 1988 due to a terrorist attack by the Greek rebels, Crimsonian troops immediately patrolled the surroundings in Kyric Village.
In 1988, the Kyric Village Incident started, as another bomb attack occured in the police station, rebels immediately came into the village and took over, and securing the surroundings of the village, Kyric Village was finally in control by the Greek rebels, Crimsonia attempted to respond to the takeover by seizing the nuclear power plant and shutting down all power to Kyric Village including water lines to the village, Crimsonia also bombarded sections of the village.
In late 1988, what turned into a conflict between Greek insurgents and Crimsonian troops turned into a manmade disaster that nearly left Mesothemia and Crimsonia uninhabitable, it began as Crimsonian troops began to control the rebellion and attempt to retake Kyric Village, eventually it ended up in disaster as airstrikes by the Crimsonian airforce accidentally bombed one of the reactors of the nuclear power plant, causing a reaction in which all of the reactors exploded in the facility, causing an intense spread of radiation as winds worsened the situation.
Crimsonian troops eventually retook Kyric Village but they were too late as the radiation began spreading into Kyric Village, causing the population and the soldiers to be sick, an evacuation was ordered 2 days after the incident, and the government made attempts to coverup the damage and get rid of everything with their past experience of the Varna Incident in 1978.
Eventually, radiation was detected in surrounding countries including Bistonia, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations took notice of the incident and began alerting all countries of the incident, giving the incident global attention, the Mesothemian Organization ordered the mass evacuation of civillians from surrounding rural villages and made attempts to control the radiation spread, eventually it was too late and most of northern Crimsonia was nearly uninhabitable.
== Atrocities (1989 - 1991) ==
The People's Republic of Crimsonia's state in the war was desperate, sanctions against the country nearly destroyed the economy, limiting what people could get using ration cards, this ended up in protest but were immediately quelled and promises for better food and necessities weren't provided.
Ilya Zhivkov, the current president of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, blamed the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations and the Mesothemian Organization for the deteriorating economy, and with the help of generals in the country, secretly announced to Crimsonian intelligence agencies to plan bomb attacks across the countries that imposed sanctions and supported the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations and the main members including the United States of Megaton and Columbia, the St. Ark Federation, the Provisional Government of Bistonia, United Kingdom, Bostan.
Parliaments, town halls, metro stations and military bases were bombarded by Crimsonian terrorists, planes and transportations were vulnerable to a hostage crisis aimed to end the war, most of these incidents include the New Shingleton Incident, as Petrusca Village terrorists began firing at a Boeing 747 airplane after the execution of Crimsonian spies.
The People's Republic of Crimsonia was held responsible to these terrorist attacks in the surrounding villages, Crimsonia responded that they were not responsible for the attacks and claimed these terrorists were supposed nationalists aiming to end the war, ending all allegations of the responsibility of these terrorist attacks by Crimsonian terrorist groups.
The most devastating and dangerous terrorist attack by the People's Republic of Crimsonia was in 1989, in the St. Ark Federation, as they seized Petrusca Village and eventually destroyed an Orange Airlines Boeing 747 aircraft heading to Bistonia due to the St. Ark Military Police executing 4 spies sent to ignite a hostage crisis within one of the planes, from the Georgi Dimitrov Military Base an order was sent to Zhukov to fire a missile from his village area, and shot the plane down.
Because of the New Shingleton Incident, Crimsonia's alleged terrorist attacks across the country were proven, and the Mesothemian Organization responded by bombarding Kradovo and preparing an invasion by Crimsonia.
Crimsonia, after 4 years of war and their economy and resources drying up, finally surrendered, and met their ultimatium, to finally withdraw from West Bistonia and the Bistonian Sea, the generals were finally caught in Georgi Dimitrov's Military Base, and found survivors, they were held at a trial instead of being executed immediately, and the trial sentenced 5 of them to execution, 8 of them to 20 years in prison, and 3 of them to 1 year of house arrest due to no history of war crimes.
Zhukov was finally executed after an eye witness said that a missile launched from his lighthouse, and blew up the plane, news spread throughout the world, and that was the final nail in the coffin, Crimsonia will be invaded through Greece.
Crimsonia, after 4 years of war and their economy and resources drying up, finally surrendered, and met their ultimatium, to finally withdraw from West Bistonia and the Bistonian Sea, the generals were finally caught in Georgi Dimitrov's Military Base, and found survivors, they were held at a trial instead of being executed immediately, and the trial sentenced 5 of them to execution, 8 of them to 20 years in prison, and 3 of them to 1 year of house arrest due to no history of war crimes.
== Treaty of Kraibrezhen and Telvinra ==
Crimsonia, after 4 years of war and their economy and resources drying up, finally surrendered, and met their ultimatium, to finally withdraw from West Bistonia and the Bistonian Sea. After the surrender of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, the Treaty of Kraibrezhen was signed in 1990 along with the Treaty of Telvinra in 1991, the treaty of Kraibrezhen was to be in effect in May 5th 1991, and the Treaty of Telvinra to be in effect 5 days after the Kraibrezhen treaty, the treaty of Kraibrezhen was to officially end the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, and recognize all partial annexations of overseas provinces and pay heavy funds to rebuild Bistonia, and troops were limited to 540,000 and the rest were exiled.

== Kradovo Spring (1991) ==
Over the past few years, Crimsonia had been suffering from an economic crisis, including food shortages and many more problems, and as a result people began forming demonstrations against the government in the city of Kradovo, then it eventually followed to the city of Telvinra, and many several more cities. Zhivkov had caught an illness prior to the demonstrations and gave him delusions. He ordered many generals to aid him in cracking down the riots and Zhivkov's personal death squads were deployed to crack down on some of the violent crowds in Kradovo, killing thousands in the protests. After the brutal crackdown, many of Zhivkov's generals fled the country or committed suicide as a result of feeling regret. Then, the situation began worsening as police and the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army began joining the protests and handed over weapons to clash against death squads, and after the violent spring, Ilya Zhivkov managed to push many of the demonstrators away from the city of Kradovo.
Due to the lack of money to pay reparations for Bistonia, the government relied on taxing the population including a series of economic and industrial reforms, and the opening of the country, the transparency of the country contributed to the unrest and the beginning of the Kradovo Spring in early 1992, the economy worsened which limited the population to necessities using ration cards.
The Kradovo Spring began in Kradovo, Telvinra and Varna as small demonstrations against the government for better ration cards turned into a violent and massive riot for freedom and rights, Petar Vlademov, now in a declining state, ordered his generals to crack down on protestors, some of the generals began realizing the actions they've done, and eventually commited suicide.
Police and the Crimsonian military, exhausted and feeling betrayed by the government, joined the protests for freedom and gave the population weapons to help fight against the communist state, the Kradovo Spring and the support by the Crimsonian military and police, contributed to the beginning of a bloody civil war in 1992, and the eventual downfall of the communist state.
The Kradovo Spring also spread to the city of Ribolov in 1992, after desperation by the populace began turning into riots against the Crimsonian government, they then began storming into government buildings in Ribolov including military bases in which Crimsonian forces retaliated by shooting at rioters, over hundreds of people were killed and injured in the violence and then a curfew was placed in West Ribolov. Thousands also attempted to flee West Arshturn by crossing the buffer zone the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations had set up 2 years earlier, but they were again shot down by Bistonian troops along the border.
== Second Crimsonian Civil War (1992 - 1995) ==
The Second Crimsonian Civil War began in mid 1992 after the events of the Kradovo Spring, the Free Bulgarian Army was formed by the Crimsonian military and the revolting population after Petar Vlademov's refusal to step down, the Crimsonian Civil War began in Varna, and turned the Free Bulgarian Army into a massive rebellion group aimed to liberate and end the communist government.
The Crimsonian military attempted to crush the rebellion but failed due to the guerilla tactics adopted by the Free Bulgarian Army, Crimsonia wasn't widely supported due to the collapse of communism in Eastern Mesothemia and was the last communist state in Mesothemia, the Free Bulgarian Army was widely supported by the west and was given aid to overpower the Crimsonian military, eventually the Free Bulgarian Army took over Southern Dobruja in the first 4 months of the civil war.
The bloody Crimsonian Civil War ended in 1995 and lasted 3 years, killing 300,000 people in the civil war as the capital of Kradovo was captured, nearly ending the People's Republic of Crimsonia, the State of Trobvinka immediately gained independence after the capital of Kradovo was captured and the alleged death of Petar Vlademov, generals attempted to hold back but were executed, further leading the Free Bulgarian Army to ending the civil war.
== End of the People's Republic ==
The Capture of Kradovo in 1995 led to the end of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, ending nearly 50 years of communist rule within the country, Petar Vlademov who was apparently still in Kradovo, commited suicide after escaping Bunker 178 with his family and generals after realizing the total loss of the communist state, Petar Vlademov was brought to the center of Kradovo where his body was displayed hanging on the fountain while mass crowds gathered.
The People's Republic of Crimsonia was defeated in the civil war and announced it's dissolution after the Siege of Kradovo, remnants of the Crimsonian military flocked to the eastern countryside of Crimsonia to fight against the new and western democratic government, the remnants lasted until it's eventual defeat somewhere between the 2000s.
A first constitution of the new provisional government was assigned, disposing of the previous constitution by the People's Republic of Crimsonia, because of the ending of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, the State of Trobvinka seceded from the provisional democratic government and proclaimed itself an independent state, as claimed by an agreement signed earlier.
== Post War ==
The Provisional Government of Bulgaria was proclaimed in 1996 after the Free Bulgarian Army tookover Crimsonia, and in 1997 the Republic of Bulgaria was proclaimed dissolving the provisional government, a democratic and unstable government tookover receiving a heavy task of changing the country and destroying the communist past along with reviving the economy.
The Republic of Bulgaria in the late 90s was an unstable and weak democratic government with a nearly collapsing economy due to the civil war and the economic collapse, millions of people in Kradovo starved and agriculture was mainly neglected, the State of Trobvinka was also vulnerable to border conflicts by the Bulgarian army.
In 1998, the Trobvinka Wars began, as Bulgaria's government aimed to invade and annex the State of Trobvinka and incorporate it within the country, the first Trobvinka War was completely devastating for the Bulgarian army as the army was poorly equipped and was still using outdated equipment, insurgencies made the army weaker at advancing towards Trobvinka, it managed to capture the capital and destroy it, but failed to take the majority of the country which led it to withdraw from the capital and end the war.
In 2004, the Second Trobvinka War began due to Trobvinka invading nearby territories of Bulgaria but failed due to the actions of the locals, the Bulgarian army at this time is well equipped and is decent enough to advance through Trobvinka, eventually their capital was bombarded and in 12 days the capital was captured, after several advancements Trobvinka surrendered and agreed to annexation by the Republic of Bulgaria, remnants of the Trobvinkan army also contributed to several terrorist attacks in Varna, the now renamed capital Sofia, and Telvinra.
== Arshturn Conflict (1998 - 2008) ==
Prior to the Arshturn Conflict, the rapid decline of Arshturn and the city of Ribolov led to people resorting to drug trafficking and transporting drugs to the Bistonian border, across the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations buffer zone. This then led to a sudden increase in drugs across mainland Bistonia, and the Bistonian government then focused on the province of West Arshturn, afterwards, the Bistonian government sent a notice to the Bulgarian government to crack down on people involved in drug trafficking operations, however the Bulgarian government declined as they would later on anger the oligarchs and they were busy dealing with the Trobvinka Wars, which had recently broke out. This then forced the Bistonian government to retaliate against Bulgaria, as they began sending spies across West Arshturn in order to deal with the sudden influx of drugs across the border, and had began cracking down on the problem themselves without permission by Bulgaria. The Bulgarian government then retaliated against this action by condemning them and arming some of the groups responsible for drug trafficking in order to cause border tensions and then sent Bulgarian troops to patrol the border. The Bistonian government then took notice of the situation and then in mid 1998, the conflict began.
In mid 1998, Bistonian troops fired the first round, and then as a result Bulgarian troops at the border began firing back, which resulted in dozens of peacekeepers from the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations being dead as they were in between the violence. Then afterwards, the border conflict then began turning tense, as dozens of politicians from each side began throwing insults at eachother as a result of the violence. A few days later after a ceasefire was launched, violence then later on broke out, which then killed hundreds of CUFN peacekeepers. As the violence continued to get tense, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations began ordering the withdrawal of all CUFN peacekeepers from the buffer zone, leaving all equipment behind. After the withdrawal was complete, violence then resumed. Bulgarian and Bistonian troops attempted to recapture the remaining territories but came to no avail. The conflict then turned into a stalemate for nearly a year and the death rate began rising.
As the Arshturn Conflict reached nearly 2 years, with dozens of ceasefires being broken, in the year of 2000, Bistonian troops made a breakthrough, as they had finally crossed over and breached the abandoned buffer zone. The Bistonian troops then began moving north of the city of West Ribolov as part of their operations to surround the city. Then, after days of clashes, Bistonian troops finally completed their efforts to surround West Ribolov, and the operation to capture West Ribolov began. Both sides began firing rockets at eachother and West Ribolov was overwhelmed, as thousands of civillians couldn't spot an incoming rocket due to the heavy smog. The industries and companies in Ribolov were also overwhelmed of the situation. Then, in the weeks of the operation, Bulgaria had strengthened their army and had already captured the rest of the occupied territories by Bistonian troops. Bistonian troops then captured the northern districts in West Ribolov, however the Bulgarian army retaliated on the other side and a corridor was created which allowed Bulgaria to take advantage of the situation in Ribolov. Bistonian troops were overwhelmed and they were then forced to withdraw from West Ribolov.
After the operation came to a failure, violence then again continued to erupt, as Bistonian troops began making breakpoints and it resulted in a failure after Bulgarian troops then again retaliated. The war then exhausted both of the sides as they had little resources to use in the war. A stalemate occurred in 2004 and this allowed time for Bulgaria to begin the Second Trobvinka War. In 2006, clashes between Bulgarian and Bistonian troops then occurred again as retaliation for the civil war which had occurred in Wilnotarn, and Bistonian troops began repeating the same mistakes. After the Wilnotarn Civil War, clashes between the two sides were minimal, until in 2007 another last clash continued in Arshturn, however the Bistonian troops managed to make breakpoints. This clash lasted longer and resulted in a decisive victory by Bulgarian troops, however clashes then again continued for nearly a year.
In 2008, after desperate attempts to capture West Arshturn and West Ribolov, the Bistonian government then threatened to bomb Kradovo, and afterwards, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations have had enough of the conflict, and began taking the matter into their own hands. CUFN peacekeepers then landed on the coasts of East Arshturn and occupied the northern coasts of the island, and as a result the Bistonian government surrendered and dropped their weapons. Bulgarian troops were then also forced to drop their weapons. In 2008, they were then forced by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to sign the treaty, officially marking the end of the Arshturn Conflict. A new buffer zone was put in place and Bistonia was allowed to incorporate more territory, something in which the Bulgarian government had opposed against. However, after the conflict, the CUFN had done no efforts to combat the violence, and tensions between the two sides continued to rise. Thousands of troops from both sides were killed including thousands of civillians.
== Modern Day ==
The Republic of Bulgaria today is widely considered in Mesothemia as a democratic and free state, with a prosperous economy and decent agriculture and industry, the dark history within the country was nearly wiped out, Bulgaria was also facing population decline.
It is not known what happens to the Republic of Bulgaria in 2050 and 2070, other than it was bombarded by the great war in 2079.
== Geography ==
The geography in the People's Republic of Crimsonia is complicated, in the relatively small territories of the mainland there are extensive lowlands, plains, hills, low and high mountains, many valleys and deep gorges, the main characteristic of Crimsonia is bands of high and low terrain that extend east to west across the country.
=== Mainland ===
The People's Republic of Crimsonia most developed areas are the mainland, in the mainland most of the cities are thriving from the resources and mines in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, and is much more civilized and safer compared to the overseas provinces of Arshturn and Wilnotarn, it is also where Crimsonia's main capital is situated including its most vital port city Telvinra.
=== Arshturn ===
The island of Arshturn during the rule of the People's Republic of Crimsonia is known towards the mainland as a completely unique island, the island of Arshturn in the east is mostly very mountainous and remote, and West Arshturn is where most of their developed cities are from, however compared to their eastern counterpart, Western Arshturn is slightly developed and industrial, however not much is known about the geography of Arshturn.
The island of Arshturn is mainly inhabited by the Crimson minorities, as the island of Arshturn has been connected to thousands of years of history with the Crimsons, including several monuments.
=== Wilnotarn ===
The province of Wilnotarn is the most largest overseas province in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, and very diverse, it is the most vital overseas province of the People's Republic of Crimsonia and mainly inhabited by both the Crimsons in the north and the Bistonians in the south, the province of Wilnotarn and their geography is very unique as in the eastern part of Wilnotarn it is very mountainous and as for the western part it is full of plains and flat land, it is also developed. the island of Wilnotarn is situated between the Telvinra Sea and the Bistonian Sea.
== States ==
Provinces in the People's Republic of Crimsonia and their status and history were very complicated and unknown after the destruction of political records after the Second Crimsonian Civil War in late 1995, however most of the documents that survived stated that most of these provinces in mainland Crimsonia were either autonomous or functioned as a proper state, and that most overseas territories left behind were incorporated as provinces into the communist state.
=== Trobvinka ===
The autonomous province of Trobvinka is the only province mentioned in mainland Crimsonia in the lore, because of the majority in the province it was given a unique status as an autonomous and special province, Trobvinka was given self rule because of this unique status and relied on the city of Kradovo, during the 80s the province of Trobvinka had turned into a prosperous province due to its unique status, however the collapse of the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1995 led to the complete secession from the Republic of Bulgaria, however years after it would be eventually incorporated as an autonomous province after the Trobvinka wars.
=== Arshturn ===
The island of Arshturn is an overseas province located south of the Telvinra Sea, the island of Arshturn during the People's Republic of Crimsonia had much more better living conditions and better job wages, during the prosperous era of Arshturn, many immigrants from the mainland settled into Arshturn and created the city of Ribolov, however during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War the economy and rations caused a heavy impact on the Crimsonian economy and Arshturn, and the situation worsened as Bistonia began invading the island of Arshturn, dividing the islands.
Today, the island of Arshturn remains as a province of the Republic of Bulgaria, however the island of Arshturn had began to worsen after the collapse of the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1995, and the further division and the border conflicts reduced Arshturn into one of the most complex regions of the world.
=== Wilnotarn ===
Wilnotarn is known as the largest overseas province in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, due to its value within the communist state it was given special autonomy and the right to rule independently and declared itself as the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic as part of the union of republics under the People's Republic of Crimsonia, like Arshturn, the capital city of Kraibrezhen had larger factories, better living conditions, and better wages and better healthcare and education and more affordable housing, which contributed to the migration of thousands to the city of Kraibrezhen, because of the nearby war with the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the Republic of Bistonia in 1987, Wilnotarn was the most devastated province during their eventual decline, and the situation worsened as Bistonia began invading Wilnotarn, and in 1990 the city of Kraibrezhen had been captured, ending the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic and Crimsonian rule in Wilnotarn.
Today, Wilnotarn has descended into civil war after its independence from Bistonia in 2006 after the treatment of the Crimson majority, it has made attempts to rejoin the Republic of Bulgaria but completely failed after Bistonia had intervened in the civil war, the city of Kraibrezhen and their outskirts have been completely bombarded and became much more dangerous than the situation in Western and Eastern Arshturn, the fate of Wilnotarn has yet to be sealed.
== Cities ==
The People's Republic of Crimsonia during their height and downfall had plenty of large cities from the mainland to the overseas provinces nearby the Bistonian Sea, most of these cities are widely known throughout the population, however due to the collapse of the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1995, most of these cities face a rapid decline and face horrid conditions and violent crime, and due to the decommunisation process imposed by the Bulgarian government, these cities were either renamed or incorporated into other nearby cities, much of these cities also didn't last into the modern day.
=== Kradovo ===
The city of Kradovo, known today as Sofia, is mostly recognized as the main capital of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, is the largest city in the Crimsonian mainland, it served as the main office of the Crimsonian government, throughout the years the city faced complete demolition and was completely rebuilt from the ground, rising again to serve as the main capital, the city of Kradovo is primarily much more safer than the rest of the other Crimsonian cities and places combined, and had a large industrial area and better living conditions, this is where the residence of the Crimsonian head of state is situated including the presidential palace and the Crimsonian parliament, most of the highways were connected around the city of Kradovo and had an entire metro system situated underground the city of Kradovo.
However, the siege of Kradovo ended the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1995, and along with other cities had communist statues, monuments and governmental buildings except for the presidential palace and the parliament were demolished, and partially demolishing most of its industrial areas contributing to the decline, Kradovo was also named into the city of Sofia and most of its streets were renamed, this along with the shutdown of industrial areas the city of Sofia became a major hotspot for criminal activity and the city of Sofia has been neglected until the 2000s came along.
Today, Sofia compared to the 2000s have gotten better in the post-war recovery, and a much more better metro system and better highways connecting the city to many larger cities, however not much is known and the city of Sofia is on the verge of a skyscraper boom.
=== Telvinra ===
The city of Telvinra serves as the second largest city within the People's Republic of Crimsonia, during the early years of the city, it became a small fishing village to a massive port vital to imports within Crimsonia, it also became the main headquarters of the Crimsonian Navy, and the sea nearby is dedicated to the city of Telvinra, because of its unique city status it also had better organized systems equal to the capital of Kradovo, and is the most vital city in Crimsonia, however in 1992 it became the epicentre of a civil war that destroyed Crimsonia, and after the Second Crimsonian Civil War, the city was renamed to Varna and most of the monuments dedicated to the Crimsonian navy were destroyed.
Today, the city of Varna has began to decline ever since the collapse of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, and the hazardous metro system made the transit system across the entire city unusable, and over the years the government neglected the residents and the development of the city of Varna, and the eventual economic crisis two years after the collapse of Crimsonia permanently paralyzed Varna's development.
=== Ribolov ===
The city of Ribolov is the second largest city in the overseas provinces of Crimsonia, it is located deep in the centre of Arshturn and is mainly an industrial city, the city of Ribolov along with several other cities during the 60s to the 80s had expanded into a massive city, and was seen as Crimsonia's way to prosperity, this combined with the unique nature of the island turned Ribolov into a tourist attraction with the Crimsonian state investing million into investing in development of the industrial areas and residential apartment blocks, and monuments dedicated to the heroes that served the country during the civil war, however the city of Ribolov and their prosperity didn't last long as in the late 80s the economic decline led to the city being depleted of most of its resources and tourism, the invasion of Arshturn also contributed to the downfall of Ribolov and divided the city into two, between East Ribolov and West Ribolov.
Today, the city of Ribolov and the division of Arshturn, including the controversy surrounding it had completely damaged the reputation of both East and West Arshturn, as border checkpoints become vulnerable to bomb attacks and the cities were left neglected by both governments, causing the living conditions in Ribolov to deteriorate, in Eastern Arshturn, the city of East Ribolov has slightly developed and had much more better living conditions, while in West Ribolov, living conditions are horrid and industrial sectors began to close down.
=== Kraibrezhen ===
The city of Kraibrezhen is the largest city within the overseas provinces and republics in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, the city of Kraibrezhen is located north of Wilnotarn and serves as the capital of the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic, an autonomous socialist republic within Crimsonia, unlike Ribolov, the city is much more massive and more invested into by the state, including monuments, however the city of Kraibrezhen is not considered a tourist attraction, the city of Kraibrezhen in the 1950s was mainly a small industrial town in rural Wilnotarn, however during the aftermath of the Bistonian Conflict and the declaration of independence of the Republic of Bistonia in 1960 led to the moving of all governmental offices and administration from Crimsonian Bistonia to the city of Kraibrezhen, this action led to the further development and expansion of the city of Kraibrezhen, however this did not last as in 1990, Bistonian troops began invading the Crimsonian province of Wilnotarn and captured Kraibrezhen later on.
The city of Kraibrezhen today has descended into total anarchy as the Wilnotarn conflict began after the independence of the State of Wilnotarn from the Republic of Bistonia in 2006, however most of the districts were occupied by both Bulgaria and Bistonia, the rest of the city of Kraibrezhen has been partially destroyed including most of its pipelines and electricity, it is not known or determined if Kraibrezhen remains to be in the current state or would rebuild after the restoration of the State of Wilnotarn.
== Minorities ==
Minorities in the People's Republic of Crimsonia are not very diverse as during the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, most of these minorities faced deportation or assimilation, for example the Seruditian peoples, however the main majority of the People's Republic of Crimsonia are the Crimson minority, with the Bistonian minority being the second in Wilnotarn and Arshturn, however these are most of the minorities known in the People's Republic of Crimsonia and some widely recognized by the government.
=== Crimson ===
The Crimson peoples are recognized as the majority of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, making over 80% of the population in the People's Republic of Crimsonia and many other countries surrounding the state, most of these people inhabit the mainland including West Arshturn and Northern Wilnotarn, with a massive majority in West Bistonia, most of these people have no official religion due to the policies of the communist state but some were mainly orthodox, while most of the Crimsons in West Bistonia are mostly both Orthodox and Islam, the Crimsons arrived from Central Asia and then eventually throughout the years expanded into a empire that became an eyesore to Bistonia.
=== Bistonian ===
The Bistonian peoples, also formerly known as the Lithuanians, are recognized by the communist state as the second largest minority in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, making over 20% of the population in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, however due to the mass deportations by the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, the Bistonian minorities were reduced to Eastern Arshturn and Southern Wilnotarn, most of these Bistonian peoples have no official religion same with the Crimsons, but the majority of them are mainly Protestant, the Bistonians arrived from the Baltics after their devastating defeat by the Mongol Empire.
== Military ==
A few military divisions are affiliated or funded by the People's Republic of Crimsonia during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the Cold War, but the main military division is the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army, with their second division being the West Bistonian People's Liberation Army, an army division funded and affiliated.
=== Crimsonian People's Liberation Army ===
The Crimsonian People's Liberation Army, also known as the CPLA for short, was the main military division of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, before the founding of the communist state, the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army was a small guerilla group that seperated from the Crimmitonian partisans in the Second Great War. with Georgi Dimitrov leading the CPLA into victory in the Crimsonian Civil War in 1949.
The Crimsonian People's Liberation Army was well organized and equipped, but because of its low quality in vehicles, artillery and many other equipments used for war, the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army focused more on quantity compared to the quality of its military equipment, with military trucks being incapable of driving up mountains and eventually end up breaking down.
The Crimsonian People's Liberation Army was nearly destroyed after the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1990 and eventually 2 years later it fought against the Free Bulgarian Army in the Second Crimsonian Civil War, the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army had been completely destroyed and reduced to remnants after the capture of Kradovo by resistance, eventually it was incorporated after the civil war but was dissolved in early 1996.
=== West Bistonian People's Liberation Army ===
The West Bistonian People's Liberation Army, also known as the WBPLA, is a seperate military branch in the military system of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, it was the main military division that fought in the frontlines of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War along with the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army, the WBPLA was founded after the establishment of the West Bistonian Socialist Republic during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, and grew to become an eyesore towards the Bistonian military.
The West Bistonian People's Liberation Army in comparison with its counterpart is that it's much more smaller and poorly equipped, because of the production of low quality vehicles from factories in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, their military trucks were considered useless in the battle to takeover Central Bistonia, and often relied on local militia groups to help fight against the Bistonian military.
The West Bistonian People's Liberation Army was completely destroyed after the withdrawal of the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army from mainland Bistonia in late 1989, with the West Bistonian islamist insurgencies further damaging and weakening the military structure within West Bistonia, however eventually West Bistonia would be later replaced with an islamic republic and would be defeated by the Bistonian military afterwards in 1990.
=== Bistonian Socialist People's Army ===
The Bistonian Socialist People's Army, also known as the BSPA for short, is a resistance army funded and affiliated with the People's Republic of Crimsonia, originally an insurgency group in the wild regions of Central Bistonia, the Bistonian Socialist People's Army grew from a small and weak guerilla force into a massive rebel army force after the Mazoji Revolution in 1987.
The Bistonian Socialist People's Army, despite being funded by the People's Republic of Crimsonia during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and allied with major Crimsonian factions, their troops are completely weak and vulnerable to sudden counterattacks by the Bistonian military, this along with the equipment given by the People's Republic of Crimsonia worsened their situation quickly, as most of these were completely useless in the frontline.
The Bistonian Socialist People's Army was destroyed in 1988, one year after its rise in the Mazoji Revolution in 1987, as Bistonian troops and paramilitary forces began invading their main capital, Mazoji, the Bistonian Socialist People's Army were completely destroyed after the Siege of Mazoji and their forced incorporation into the West Bistonian People's Liberation Army, most of these were reduced to remnants but some of these remnants were completely destroyed in the aftermath of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1998.
=== Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists ===
The Bistonian Shingleton Seperatists are part of an organized rebel force aimed to gain independence from the Republic of Bistonia, however despite being allied and funded by the People's Republic of Crimsonia, these seperatists are more distant from the People's Republic of Crimsonia and their affiliation, most of these seperatists control the eastern part of Bistonian Shingleton.
The seperatists in Bistonian Shingleton are not well equipped, but they were well organized in bomb attacks across cities in Bistonian Shingleton, and had a efficient supply of bombs to use against the population in Bistonian Shingleton, however these seperatists are also largely unpopular in Bistonian Shingleton.
These seperatists in Bistonian Shingleton eventually ended years after the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the occupation of Bistonian Shingleton by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, an agreement was signed making peace between the two sides.
== Structure ==
The societal structure of the People's Republic of Crimsonia represented unity for workers throughout the world, while the rest of the population lived in middle class apartments throughout the cities of Crimsonia, the societal structure of the People's Republic of Crimsonia was stable. Many government and factory workers recieved free trips to Kraibrezhen and Ribolov aswell for contributing to their work. The structure included free healthcare, free education, stable laws and land for the people, including many more.
The societal structure of the People's Republic of Crimsonia collapsed in 1995 after the Second Crimsonian Civil War and the downfall of the communist state, while the Provisional Government of Bulgaria had changed most of its political and economic systems, the changes were unstable and nearly useless, although government reforms changed the unstable system.
=== Equality ===
During the 60s, the Zhivkov constitution which was adopted in the People's Republic of Crimsonia guaranteed the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of gender, race, and religious beliefs, however the conclusion of equality within the government and constitution of the People's Republic of Crimsonia were not considered fair, as the government continued to persecute the Orthodox church in the early years of Crimsonia for having too much power and influence over their people, these were a direct violation of these commitments.
The People's Republic of Crimsonia had passed laws that would erase and prohibit other minorities within the People's Republic of Crimsonia from speaking their own language, with children being forced into learning Bulgarian in schools and universities, however during the late 70s the laws would soon ease and as the People's Republic of Crimsonia began opening to countries in the mid 90s, the prohibition of other minority languages were completely erased.
=== Economy ===
The economic structure of the People's Republic of Crimsonia adopted a centrally planned economy similar to those in the Eastern Bloc, before the beginning of collectivisation, Crimsonia was a primarily agrarian state, with some 80% of its population located in rural areas. Production facilities of all sectors were rapidly nationalised aswell. The main sectors of the economic structure of Crimsonia was primarily based on agricultural sectors and industrial sectors, forming the backbone of the Crimsonian economy. Reforms also led to a massive industrialisation and development of the energy sector, which remained one of Crimsonia's most advanced economic sectors.
The main traders of the People's Republic of Crimsonia was the Union of Ruralia and many several other Eastern Bloc countries with large-scale importers of Crimsonian goods and many more, It is also one of the world's biggest producers of copper, silver, coal, furniture, and automotive parts behind the Republic of Zedrutian in the mid 80s, however the Second Crimsonian Civil War in 1995 would damage the economy and its sectors, contributing to a dark crisis which lasted decades.
=== Currency ===
The currency in the People's Republic of Crimsonia is the Crimsonian Crimit, (aka. CC), the Crimsonian Crimit was adopted as an official currency in the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1949 placing the nearly useless and inflated Crimmitonian currency, the Crimsonian Crimit went into circulation afterwards and the currency was used until the countrys eventual collapse in 1995.
Like many other Eastern Bloc countries, the currency in the People's Republic of Crimsonia is decent, well organized and fair, although not as strong as many other currencies in the world, it was valued at around 20% of the USMC Dollar and the Bistonian Provis, including 30% of the Zedrutian Krolaw, however due to the exhaustion and sanctions imposed on Crimsonia, the Crimsonian Crimit by the events of New Shingleton in 1989 has went into a sharp decline in value and pulled down most of Crimsonia's economic systems.
Eventually, after the collapse of the People's Republic of Crimsonia after the Second Crimsonian Civil War in 1995, the Crimsonian Crimit was immediately replaced and ended circulation in the aftermath of the collapse of the country, and many bags filled with the Crimsonian Crimit were thrown out due to its status as a worthless currency because of its low value.
=== Population ===
With many other countries, the People's Republic of Crimsonia in population numbers since 1949 has been rapidly increasing due to the construction of temporary housing across many cities in response to the high demand for housing, free healthcare, education and many things provided and guaranteed by the state contributed to the rise of population numbers, the population in Crimsonia is around 8.987 million civillians within the borders of the mainland by the events of New Shingleton in 1989, with the overseas Wilnotarn province having 9.467 million civillians total, and Arshturn having over 1.92 million, making the total population in the People's Republic of Crimsonia being over 20.374 million civillians, because of the small and decent population, the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army still has an advantage to recruit most of the population and grow large manpower, gaining the ability to invade countries easily, as done with the Crimsonian-Bistonian War.
However, after the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the invasion of Wilnotarn and Eastern Arshturn, including the Second Crimsonian Civil War, Crimsonia had lost over 9 million civillians in Wilnotarn and over 500,000 civillians in East Arshturn after the treaties, and in the modern day, the population in modern-day Crimsonia has began to slowly decline over the past 20 years, and lost 1 million people in the process, the reason for the population declining was because of low birth rates and migration.
=== Language ===
The official and most spoken language in the People's Republic of Crimsonia is Bulgarian, despite the complete destruction of the Bulgars by the arriving Crimson tribes in the land known as Bulgaria thousands of years ago, the legacy of the Bulgars languages, culture and names were preserved by the Crimson tribe and used Bulgarian as their language to communicate to eachother. Bulgarian is also the third spoken language of Bistonia where it is taught to children in schools and universities.
The second most spoken language is Lithuanian, due to many people from Bistonia still remaining in the overseas provinces of Wilnotarn and East Arshturn, despite being recognized as the second spoken language, the Lithuanian language has been under persecution by the Crimsonian communist state, with many attempts made to eradicate the language from being spoken.
=== Religion ===
Due to its secular policies imposed by the state including their ideals, ideology and beliefs, there is no official religion in the People's Republic of Crimsonia, and many people in the country do not have an official religion, however it is known that most of the population is Orthodox, with Islam being the second majority of religion in the People's Republic of Crimsonia.
Religion in the People's Republic of Crimsonia has went through persecution by the government with the excuse that the religion had been holding too much power over the influence and minds of the people instead of the government, and restricted the Orthodox church including the religion of Islam, however they still remain operative in the country, but however they face heavy monitoring.
After the collapse of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, the Republic of Bulgaria declared the Orthodox church as its official religion, however the new government remained prosecuting many members and high ranking officials related to the religion of Islam, and to this day Islam still remains as a heavily monitored religion within modern-day Crimsonia.
== Political ==
The People's Republic of Crimsonia is a Unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party socialist republic with its governance and power centralized by the Crimmitonian Communist Party, Their role was to exercise Party decisions in their respective areas and to otherwise defer to popular opinion in decision-making. In the late 1980s, the CCP had an estimated peak membership of 1,000,000 — more than 10% of the population. However due to the Zhivkov's political actions and their difference in ideologies, the People's Republic of Crimsonia enforced policies further distancing itself from the Eastern Bloc's affairs and political presence although retaining most of its support for countries on the Eastern Bloc.
=== Relations ===
Relations with the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the outside world has been very aggressive and volatile, due to its political ideology and its actions in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and in the past decades, the volatile relations with Crimsonia would eventually lead the world to impose sanctions, however on the opposite, many Eastern Bloc countries have very calm relations with the People's Republic of Crimsonia.
=== Provisional Government of Bistonia ===
Relations between the Provisional Government of Bistonia and the People's Republic of Crimsonia have been very volatile and aggressive towards eachother since the 60s, mainly due to Bistonia gaining full independence from the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1960 and the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987, officials and diplomats from both sides were endangered due to the aggressive relations and became one of the most violent in the world, both two sides have a rivalry despite being in the non-aligned movement.
However, the tension was tamed after the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the complete annexation of Wilnotarn and Eastern Arshturn, but further escalated during the Arshturn Conflict in 2005, in conclusion relations between Bistonia and Crimsonia remain violent till the destruction of humanity and attempts to ease the relations failed.
=== Democratic Republic of Sidan ===
The Democratic Republic of Sidan is known to be one of the greatest eyesores and enemies of the People's Republic of Crimsonia from 1961 till Crimsonia's destruction in 1995, with fierce and aggressive relations similar to Bistonia, both sides had been spying on eachother for decades with the reason for the bitter relations being the destruction of cities across Sidan and the deaths of thousands of people during the Sidanian-Ruralian war in the 50s, both officials from each sides were assassinated and because of the fierce relations with Crimsonia it had aided Bistonia in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War.
Not much was revealed or known about their diplomatic relations until in the 2000s, documents from the People's Republic of Crimsonia were discovered in the archives of the city of Sofia, formerly known as Kradovo, the documents suggested that most of its nuclear warheads would be directed to several cities vital to many countries involving Sidan, however this was never met, the volatile relations with the Democratic Republic of Sidan had eased after the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the Second Crimsonian Civil War which contributed to its collapse.
=== St. Ark Federation ===
Despite the St. Ark Federation's background of being allied with several enemies of the People's Republic of Crimsonia, relations between Crimsonia and the Federation were neutral even though the military government had reigned terror on the population and possessing absolute power over the country, because of the neutral relations, the St. Ark Federation was neutral in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, however the relations became bitter as the Federation began forcing out Bistonian refugees in 1989.
Despite not doing much to ease or worsen relations, the St. Ark Federation and its military government despised the People's Republic of Crimsonia and their actions after the New Shingleton Incident in 1989, sanctioning and exiling many Crimsonian officials, diplomats and immigrants from the country, including banning and boycotting products from Crimsonia, the St. Ark Federation also cracked down on Crimsonian intelligence and their presence within the State of New Shingleton.
