Shanto District

### History

The Shanto Kingdom was founded in the year 11 by its first Monarch, King William Shanto within a large fertile river valley. Over the centuries the country became known for its ranching and farming. It's crops and meat would be exported all across the continent and trade was booming until the death of its last monarch and his family. After nearly 700 years of ruling over the country the last monarch dies suddenly along with other members of his family. The remaining family members refused to succeed and all abdicated and moved from the nations capitol to the outer mountain regions. In response the Parliament of Shanto respected the families wishes and the nations new head of state was created with the office of the Royal Chancellor. The previous elected position head of state of Prime Minister was abolished. Over the next several centuries with the collapse of Royal House the Kingdom of Shanto would experience a decline in its culture and economy. The nation and its government would become very isolationist and refuse travelers to enter its borders. In the following centuries the country would have high rates of depression and suicide due to the death of several royal family members along with multiple other tragedies. Once Trussian became a space fairing civilization the nation of Shanto voted to join the world in a unified front. The office of Royal Chancellor was disbanded and the region was then placed under the leadership of a district governor. A few decades after Trussia had established colonies across the solar system the office of Governor was disbanded and authority was placed in local counties and townships. As Trussia Prime flourished during this new era more and more residents of Shato started to leave. At its height the region had 3.8 million canines within its borders, but in less then a decade this population was estimated to be less then 35,000. (The Regions largest city was simply abandoned) During the 700 Years war the Military established the 158 Garrison regiment in the area that was tasked with monitoring radar stations. After the war the 158th Garrison Regiment was disbanded and the several military installations within the region were simply retaken by nature.
