Provisional Government of Bistonia

About
The Provisional Government of Bistonia (Laikinoji Bistonijos vyriausybė) is a Unitary semi-presidential representative democratic republic, it's currently fighting in a war against the People's Republic of Crimsonia and is close to victory in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, it's capital is New Vilnius and the state Bistonian Shingleton takes place in New Shingleton, it is mentioned in Trostemb State Asylum, Dimitri's Forest Roads.

History
The history of Bistonia began in 1270 to the rise of the Mongol Empire, which reached from the unknown lands of Manchuria to a massive empire stretching all the way Eastern Mesothemia and threatening the Lithuanians residing in Eastern Mesothemia, the Lithuanians eventually fought against the Mongols but were too weak to face the Mongols and were eventually defeated.

Because of the defeat and the severity of the punishment by the Mongols, the Lithuanians were forced to flee out of Mesothemia and those who did not manage to escape were massacred, the Lithuanians discovered a land south of Mesothemia, and settled into the land to start anew.

Empire of Bistonia 1289 AD - 1673 AD
The Empire of Bistonia was proclaimed by an unknown leader in 1289 AD, nobody knew where the name Bistonia originated, but rumors said it was named after a king who ruled the land before their arrival, the empire expanded and built towns in their way in the new land and gathered wealth, slaves and troops to resist against empires interested in conquering the undiscovered island.

Throughout the 400 years of the Empire of Bistonia, the Empire survived the spread of Islam and the Black Death, somewhere between 1673, rumors of a land north of the empire spread, the Emperor planned to conquer it and launched an expedition led by a spanish colonist.

However, the spanish colonist was executed for disobeying the emperors orders, and invaded Crimson territory, the Empire failed to conquer the Crimsons and eventually the Crimsons followed the Empire's retreating troops, as the Crimsons invaded and slaughtered the Emperor in the New Vilnius City Center.

Crimson Rule 1673 - 1701
Bistonia fell under the Crimsons after the end of the Empire of Bistonia, and during the aftermath the Bistonian culture changed drastically as their cultures fused with the Crimsons, West Bistonia was also settled by the Crimsons and a seperate vassal state was established aswell.

Several Crimson dynastys ruled Bistonia for nearly a hundred years and ended in 1701 with the last Crimson dynasty falling and being conquered by the expanding Ottoman Empire.

Ottoman Rule 1701 - 1802
The Ottoman Empire conquered Bistonia in 1701, but the Ottomans weren't capable of moving southwards because of the harsh terrain in South Bistonia and the danger of local tribes in the area, they forced the Crimsons in West Bistonia to convert to Islam, Crimson rebellions also gave West Bistonia a bad reputation within the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire also attempted to colonize Nesekme and incorporate it within Bistonia, but because of the Ottoman Navy's destruction in the Napoleonic Invasion of Sidan, the chances of colonizing Nesekme were at a low level, and the Ottoman Empire was bankrupt.

The Invasion of Sidan in 1799 contributed to the spread of nationalism in Bistonia and other surrounding territories claimed by the Ottomans, it also contributed to the beginning of the Crimmitonian Revolution in Crimmitonia and Bistonia.

In 1801, 100 years after the conquering of Bistonia, the Crimmitonian Revolution began, forcing the Ottoman Empire to sue for peace and lose most of their territories within Europe, they also lost the Bistonian territories, Wilnotarn and Arshturn after an agreement was signed between the two.

Kingdom of Crimmitonia 1802 - 1919
The New Vilnius Agreement in 1802 between the newly created Kingdom of Crimmitonia was signed, with the Ottoman Empire handing over Bistonia, Wilnotarn, Arshturn and several scattered islands nearby Bistonia, this created major territory disputes between the Colony of Good Hope between New Shingleton and Bistonian Shingleton.

The handover between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Crimmitonia left a permanent scar on the Bistonian and Crimson populations in the territory, and so began the 1816 Mazoji Rebellion that nearly killed 10,000 people and aimed to give Bistonia independence and force out the Crimson majority in Bistonia, in 1842 Crimmitonia launched an expedition to takeover most of the undiscovered land in Bistonia and establish a major trading port.

The expedition into Southern Bistonia ended in 1850 with most of the undiscovered land conquered by the Crimmitonian expeditionary force, forcing the local tribes in the area to reside within reservations, and allowing the flow of settlers into Southern Bistonia, contributing to a divide between the Protestants in the north and the Catholics within the south.

In 1872 the Industrial Revolution spread through Bistonia, contributing to the Kingdom of Crimmitonia further tightening it's grip on Bistonia, New Vilnius became a hotspot for industrial activity and a railway was built stretching to the city of New Vilnius to Mazoji, in the process of the vital railway, tribal communities were divided and towns were deserted.

The Kingdom of Crimmitonia's rule in Bistonia ended in 1919 as the Great War in Mesothemia began, the Kingdom of Crimmitonia joined the war against the allied powers of Mesothemia in exchange to reclaim the territories lost in the previous war they fought, the kingdom joining the war contributed to a massive rebellion sparked in Mazoji inspired by the previous rebellion in 1816, the rebellion was crushed and carved a legacy within the city of Mazoji.

The Kingdom of Crimmitonia also bombarded the industrial sectors in the Dominion of St. Ark, causing condemnation by the settlers from the dominion in Southern Bistonia, however the bombardment was too late as in 1918 the Kingdom of Crimmitonia surrendered to the allied powers of Mesothemia. 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.

The peace treaty that was signed in 1919 also allowed the Dominion of St. Ark to occupy the West Bistonian region and talks with the dominion allowed a small city state in Western Bistonia and a withdrawal from the region by 1934, the Crimson minority within the occupied regions revolted against this act and eventually in the hands of the Dominion of St. Ark the region was stabilized and pose no threat to the army occupying the region.

Republic of Crimmitonia 1919 - 1940
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.

The Republic of Crimmitonia eventually ran out of money to pay heavy reparations to the allies and the Dominion of St. Ark, and because of it, the Dominion of St. Ark and it's allies occupied several industrial districts and the Mazoji-Vilnius railway which was vital to Bistonia, and an agreement was signed allowing the creation of a free city state within occupied West Bistonia.

Sometime in 1928, the Republic of Crimmitonia transitioned Bistonia into part of a process of transitioning colonies within the republic into overseas provinces and having seperate states, the population agreed to the transition and Bistonia along with the other overseas colonies transitioned into provinces for the republic, recieving support.

The 1930s arrived in Bistonia and the Republic of Crimmitonia was going into an economic crisis along with the rest of Mesothemia, the economy collapsed which devastated infrastructure, agriculture and industry within Bistonia, the currency nearly became worthless after the great crash and people were forced to eat what they have left, this contributed to the eventual demise of the first republic.

In 1941, the far-right in Mesothemia contributed to the spark of the Second Great War, and in mid 1941 a coup d'etat overthrew the republic and detained the president, abolishing the republic and a new and authoritarian royal dictatorship was established and joined the far-right against the allied powers of Mesothemia, the reaction by the Bistonian population was bitter as anti-fascist demonstrations spread across New Vilnius.

City State of West Bistonia 1928 - 1937
The City State of West Bistonia was created from the occupied territories of West Bistonia and was a small and free city state from the influence of Crimmitonia, it had democratic elections in 1929 and a new president was elected as the leader of the newly created city state, the city state was also where the last Bistonian city within West Bistonia resided.

The City State of West Bistonia mainly relied on the Crimmitonian currency, however due to the crash they resorted to making their own currency, the population in the city state had their own passports, their own police force and army in the city state, the city state was not affected by the economic downfall in Crimmitonia or Bistonia.

The City State of West Bistonia ended after the agreement expired, the city state was incorporated into the province of Bistonia, the inhabitants of the city state did not pose any threat to the expiration of the agreement and the end of the city state, and no fierce resistance was imminent within the region.

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 outbreak of the Second Great War, insurgencies in Bistonia rose up to fight against the authoritarian royal kingdom and aim to establish an independent republic in Bistonia and achieve full independence from the authoritarian regime, the insurgencies weren't mostly in New Vilnius and were only spotted within rural areas and Central Bistonia.

The allied invasion of Bistonia began after the surrender of Crimmitonia, ending the Bistonian insurgency and ending the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, after a peace treaty was signed, chunks of territory were seized and occupied by the allied powers and economic aid was sent in Bistonia except for Crimmitonia, it supported the creation of another Crimmitonian Republic.

Crimsonian Civil War 1945 - 1950
Bistonia's state was at a very desperate rate as infrastructure was bombarded by the allied invasion in 1944, the agricultural areas and industry were bombarded and railways supplying the other cities from New Vilnius were destroyed, depriving the cities of resources and necessities, the economy within Crimmitonia also contributed to the near collapse of the Bistonian overseas province.

During Bistonia's desperate state in the aftermath of the war, the Crimsonian Civil War began in the mainland after the communist bloc agreed to handover Southern Dobruja to the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front, beginning a civil war between the forces of the Republic of Crimmitonia and the Crimsonian Communist Party.

The Bistonian People's Liberation Army was formed by members of the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front and as part of an agreement signed with the Bistonian insurgency groups from the previous war, the Bistonian People's Liberation Army aimed to liberate Bistonia from Crimmitonian rule while the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front focuses more on the mainland, during the Crimsonian Civil War the BPLA controlled most of Central Bistonia, and used the railways and highways to New Vilnius as an opportunity to seize the capital.

The Crimsonian Civil War in the mainland ended as the Crimsonian Revolutionary People's Front surrounded and captured Kradovo, ending the Republic of Crimmitonia's rule in the mainland, and forcing the republic into exile in Bistonia, the Bistonian People's Liberation Army took advantage of this and surrounded New Vilnius, eventually after 30 days, New Vilnius fell into BPLA's hands, ending the Crimsonian Civil War within Bistonia.

Crimsonian Bistonia 1950 - 1960
In the 1950s, Bistonia met its fate under the hands of the communist ideology, Georgi Dimitrov took power in Crimsonia after 20 years in exile and was unpopular within Bistonia, Georgi Dimitrov was proclaimed as General Secretary of the People's Republic of Crimsonia and transitioned the country including Bistonia into an authoritarian communist state, and reigned terror with his secret police force in Bistonia.

The situation worsened as he continued religious reforms, restraining religions or either banning them, the Protestant and Catholic Churchs continued functioning in both Northern and Southern Bistonia, but never regained it's influence and popularity among the workers and the people, the religious reforms contributed to the decline of Islam in Western Bistonia.

In the mid 1950s, the General Secretary Georgi Dimitrov suddenly passed away in the Union of Ruralia, because of this a new leadership was assigned to the task of rebuilding the country and implementing rapid industrialization as part of their economic reforms in the aftermath of the death of Georgi Dimitrov, the new leadership started a process of rapid industrialization and agriculture was collectivised within Bistonia.

The living conditions in New Vilnius and Mazoji were worse than the average conditions within Kradovo, although temporary housing was built across the nation to ease the demands for housing, the living conditions deteriorated in New Vilnius and Mazoji, Bistonia under the communist rule was undeveloped and most of the infrastructure was slowly rebuilding, it's agriculture still remained but did not meet modern technology.

The ethnic tensions began to ease between the Bistonians and the Crimsons, but because of the religious reforms and the decline of Islam within West Bistonia, the Crimsons within the autonomous region blamed the Bistonians for attempting ethnic cleansing in the region, this led to a heavy wave of nationalism and insurgency forming within West Bistonia.

The rapid industrialization and the economic reforms contributed to the neglect of agriculture within Bistonia, as agriculture in the mainland had much better conditions and the government never improved the working conditions, leading to a worker strike, however the rapid collectivisation also contributed to the farmers opposing against the economic and agricultural collectivisation, and burned crops, killed livestock, depriving communities of crops and livestock, this contributed to a catastrophic event in Bistonia called "The Great Famine".

Great Famine (1956)
The Great Famine was a catastrophic famine that mainly occured in Central Bistonia and affected the rural areas within the region, the cause of the famine was Crimsonia neglecting agriculture within the area and the rapid collectivisation of crops and their socialist economic reforms in the overseas province, the famine starved and killed nearly quarter of the rural population in Bistonia.

The second reason for the beginning of the great famine was opposition by the farmers by burning crops and killing livestock in protest against the economic reforms and the constant collectivisation of their crops, this also contributed to the famine and worsened the situation, and also depriving communities in the rural areas.

The Great Famine in Central Bistonia forced the local population in the villages to eat cats and dogs and mice, and then eventually thousands of villagers started dying of starvation, the Great Famine didn't reach global attention by the world and the Great Famine was largely ignored by the Crimsonian government, however they did respond to the famine by aiding the local population with food, but it didn't solve the problem and the Great Famine continued to worsen.

The Great Famine and the situation in the rural areas of Central Bistonia were dire as villages affected by the famine were near empty, the Crimsonian authorities attempted to coverup the dire situation, but news spread out to New Vilnius and Mazoji about a massive famine occuring in the region, rural demonstrations occured but the Crimsonian secret police managed to control the demonstration.

The Great Famine was massive and devastating, nearly 1 million people died and the consequences resulted in several villages being abandoned, the event contributed to the beginning of demonstrations that eventually turned into the Bistonian Conflict, and as a consequence for Crimsonia.

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 Bistonian 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.

The Bistonian Conflict worsened as Crimsonian troops began getting involved within the massive protests, Crimsonian troops were ordered and shot protestors with live ammunition, news of the shooting spread across the world and caught global attention and the situation of the conflict including insurgencies formed to fight against the communist government.

The Commonwealth of United and Free Nations made a deal with the People's Republic of Crimsonia to station their peacekeepers, this proposal was rejected by the government and in response CUFN imposed sanctions on Crimsonia, the President of the United States of Megaton and Columbia, Thomas Cromwell, responded to Crimsonia's actions and role within the Bistonian Conflict as the greatest crime against humanity, and responded to the People's Republic of Crimsonia with an ultimatium. The Mesothemian Organization also noticed the Bistonian Conflict, and announced a full invasion if the People's Republic of Crimsonia refuse the ultimatium sent by Thomas Cromwell.

Cities were put under lockdown as the Bistonian Conflict worsened, Bistonian insurgency in the province made the Crimsonian army harder to act to the conflict and the instability, demonstrations also began spreading in most villages and cities aswell, along with mutinies in the military, Bistonia fell into anarchy in the conflict and civil war was rampant, people also began fleeing to the St. Ark Federation.

The Bistonian Conflict lasted 3 years and finally ended when the People's Republic of Crimsonia responded after immense pressure by the global world, and agreed to fully recognize the independence of Bistonia. 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.

Republic of Bistonia 1960 - 1988
The Republic of Bistonia was proclaimed in mid 1960 and gained independence from the People's Republic of Crimsonia, ending 287 years of rule by the Crimsons, the Crimson minority in West Bistonia were fiercely opposed against Bistonia's independence, but failed to gain national attention after attempting to secede from Bistonia and rejoin the People's Republic of Crimsonia.

In 1961, elections were held, electing a democratic government, and in 1962, the New Vilnius Research Facility was constructed and built to experiment and build nuclear weapons, and eventually used the research facility to build the first rocket to the moon. In 1969, the Republic of Bistonia ended its nuclear weapons program including it's program to land the first man on the moon, and helped the United States of Megaton and Columbia to land the first man on the moon, which was considered a success and the first man on the moon landed in mid 1969, reaching global attention, however Bistonian scientists didn't get their attention as they contributed mostly to the space program.

The Republic of Bistonia had a dark side but was mainly overshadowed, one of the dark side was the treatment of the Crimson majority in Western Bistonia, as the region was undeveloped and public transportation was poor, the average life expectancy in the region was between 50 years old, and the treatment of the population within Western Bistonia during the polio outbreak was poorly controlled, another dark side of the Republic of Bistonia was the constant coverups of the New Vilnius Research Facility, stating it as national security.

The Republic of Bistonia was also part of the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations and joined the Mesothemian Organization, it also opposed the People's Republic of Crimsonia and established relations with the neighbouring St. Ark Federation, the country was also the richest nation behind the United States of Megaton and Columbia, and along with the allies they also made enemies on their way to prosperity, communist bloc countries opposed the actions of Bistonia and the previous Bistonian Conflict.

The Green Line Metro System that connected Bistonian-Shingleton to the state of New Shingleton was built as part of the diplomatic actions by the St. Ark Federation and the Republic of Bistonia, however due to the rise of dictators in the country, the Republic of Bistonia cut ties with the St. Ark Federation, contributing to the Federation War that also led to the demise of the St. Ark Federation.

The prosperous days of the Republic of Bistonia didn't last, as the St. Ark Federation declared war on the Republic of Bistonia to seize Southern Bistonia, and the Bistonian Sea in 1974.

Federation War 1974 - 1976
You can read the Federation War page below here, the summary will be written here, the Federation War page is currently work in progress but you can read the summary.

Federation War The Federation War was a conflict between the St. Ark Federation and the Republic of Bistonia, the war nearly destroyed most of the railways connecting New Vilnius and Mazoji, including highways and infrastructure, the damage caused by the war was costly and nearly destroyed the Republic of Bistonia, the war caused permanent damage to travel across Bistonia and making it nearly impossible.

The Federation War also devastated air travel and contributed to the rise of Bistonian-Shingleton unionists and seperatists, who continued to bring terrorist attacks throughout Bistonian Shingleton, making it one of the world's worst places to live.

Crimsonian-Bistonian War 1987 - 1990
You can read the Crimsonian-Bistonian War page below here, the summary will be written below, the Crimsonian-Bistonian War can be fully read.

Crimsonian-Bistonian War

The Crimsonian-Bistonian War started in 1987 and throughout the events of New Shingleton, Bistonia is in a dire situation and is wartorn, the Republic of Bistonia was dissolved after a coup in 1988, and the occupation by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, and the Bistonian-Shingleton conflict worsening the situation of the war.

Dissolution of the Republic of Bistonia (1988)
In the years of 1988, things were desperate in the Republic of Bistonia, the people in Kriadavia began to protest against the government for neglecting them, and in the city of New Vilnius the consequences of the war were worsening, streets were empty and were constantly bombarded by the Crimsonian air force to force the population and the army to surrender in the city.

The Bistonian army took advantage of the situation and in February 13th the military tookover New Vilnius and detained the president including the entire parliament, the whole city went into lockdown and the military promised elections by the end of the war and 3 days after the coup d'etat, the Republic of Bistonia was dissolved and the Provisional Government of Bistonia was established to replace the currently deteriorating republic.

The Commonwealth of United and Free Nations condemned the act and made a decision to unconditionally support the establishment of a provisional government, the People's Republic of Crimsonia announced that the Crimsonian-Bistonian War is close to ending and achieve victory in the war, the dissolution of the Republic of Bistonia contributed to the beginning of the Kriadavia Mutiny and the formation of the Free Bistonian Army.

Bistonian People's Republic 1987 - 1988
The Bistonian People's Republic was established in the aftermath of the Mazoji Revolution by the Bistonian Socialist People's Army, a socialist insurgency group that formed in 1960s and was a small rebel force that opposed the independence of Bistonia, it turned from a small and weak guerilla rebel force into a massive threat and an eyesore by the Bistonian Armed Forces and the Free Bistonian Army.

The Bistonian People's Republic also controlled eastern parts of Bistonian Shingleton as the separatists in the island joined the Bistonian People's Republic, however the lack of equipment and the poorly preformed army in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War led to it's downfall at the Fall of Mazoji during the commencing of Operation Silo in March of 1988, after the Fall of Mazoji the Bistonian People's Republic fractured and collapsed into several factions controlling the rest of the state.

Provisional Government of Bistonia 1988 - 1990
The Provisional Government of Bistonia in it's early years was nearly considered as an authoritarian state and eventually would end up as it's neighbor, the St. Ark Federation, the policies by the provisional government were considered too strict and authoritarian in the country, although the provisional government responded by promising the end of the policies once a democratic government was established.

Organized militias in the Provisional Government of Bistonia were considered illegal in the country, as the punishment for the members of the organized militias excluding troops would serve a life sentence in prison, the doomsday cult, The Void, was prosecuted because of alleged claims of handling too much power over the people along with other countries before them. Terrorism was widely illegal in the country and possession of firearm and bombs were prohibited within the provisional government, groups involved in the possession of firearm and bombs would have their members serve a life sentence in prison, the alternative for the punishment is extradition.

Troops that were part of the Free Bistonian Army and the Bistonian Armed Forces and caught commiting warcrimes and human rights violations are sentenced to death or the alternative is extradition, and this crime would last all the way to the few years of the end of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, sometime in 1995, robbery and bribery in the country is usually not tolerated and the perpetrator would be arrested for several months, Bistonian troops were prohibited to plundering liberated cities.

Civillians were forced to stay in their houses during curfew as part of the rules of the military administration in the recently liberated territories, but recieved aid and food including water to stay alive within their homes, if civillians were sick including children they were either ordered to report to the police station and would be transported to a nearby field hospital, protesting in cities like Mazoji and New Vilnius would sentence you to 3 years in prison, those who were involved in a riot would have their sentence added to 3 more years.

People were demanded to report a person acting suspiciously in the military districts or the cities to a nearby police station inhabited and occupied by the Bistonian military or the Free Bistonian Army, promising with safety and action, those who lied about the suspicion were arrested and in jail for 3 days, these strict policies implemented by the Provisional Government of Bistonia worked effectively in capturing spies by the Crimsonian intelligence and preventing terrorist attacks throughout major cities, some of these policies did not manage to work however as anarchy in most of the cities completely damaged by the war were rampant.

Terrorist Attacks 1987 - 1995
The People's Republic of Crimsonia and it's Crimsonian intelligence planting terrorist attacks throughout it's targeted countries didn't affect most of the countries surrounding the People's Republic of Crimsonia, however the Provisional Government of Bistonia was mostly where the terrorist attacks would mostly occur, and mostly effect the lives of the people living in big cities and their view of public transportation.

The Parliaments, town halls, metro stations and military bases were either vulnerable to the terrorist attacks, car bombings spread throughout New Vilnius and hostage crisis would be rampant, the most deadly of all of the terrorist attacks were two incidents that happened in Mazoji and New Vilnius, as the New Vilnius School Siege in 1990 occured by alleged Crimsonian terrorists, killing 304 children and lasting two days, it was the second deadliest event in Bistonian history.

The Mazoji Attacks in 1989 was the top deadliest as a Bistonian Airlines 747 aircraft broke in pieces because of a suspected bomb within the cargo of the plane, the massive aircraft crashed into downtown Mazoji, causing the entire district to blaze for 8 days until it was extinguished by firefighters, it was also considered the most deadliest terrorist attack caused by Crimsonian terrorists.

The terrorist attacks caused by these alleged Crimsonian terrorists eventually stopped in between 1990 and 1995 as the Crimsonian-Bistonian War came to an end including the People's Republic of Crimsonia, however the ending of the terrorist attacks by Crimsonia began another series of these attacks by alleged West Bistonian terrorists aiming to liberate West Bistonia.

Bistonian Refugees
Bistonian Refugees are people who fled from Bistonia during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987, they mostly reside within the St. Ark Federation and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, and the Mesothemian Organization provided asylum for the Bistonian refugees, they are the most prosecuted people in countries recognized by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations as dictatorships, and behind the members of the so called doomsday cult, The Void.

During the years of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, Bistonian refugees increased at a high rate, as they began migrating to nearby countries to avoid the war, some of these refugees migrated illegally and without proper documents, some of these refugees were considered too impossible to deport as the war was currently still ongoing, one of these refugees migrated the infamous Green Line in New Shingleton.

These Bistonian refugees were heavily prosecuted within the St. Ark Federation, the Democratic Republic of Sidan, however the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations promised asylum including the United States of Megaton and Columbia, the St. Ark Federation's reaction to the refugee crisis was concerning as the treatment of refugees were poor.

The Bistonian refugee crisis eventually stopped after Crimsonia's failed attempt in capturing New Vilnius in mid 1988, eventually in 1989 refugees began returning back into Bistonia along with a stimulus to help in rebuilding their homes.

West Bistonian Socialist Republic 1987 - 1990
The West Bistonian Socialist Republic was a communist puppet state by the People's Republic of Crimsonia, established during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and acted as a buffer state between the People's Republic of Crimsonia and Bistonia, the West Bistonian Socialist Republic was stable in it's early years, but as the years went by it turned into an unstable and corrupt government and eventually ended after islamic insurgents captured the capital.

The West Bistonian Socialist Republic had their own army, but adopted the Crimsonian currency as it's official currency, and used Crimsonian passports, Bistonians within the West Bistonian Socialist Republic were forced into labor camps built by the Crimsonian government, it also was intended to be part of the Crimsonian-Bistonian Autonomous Socialist Republic, but during a referendum the intention of it being incorporated was rejected in mid 1988.

The West Bistonian Socialist Republic was forced to defend itself and use it's troops to handle most of the operations commenced by the People's Republic of Crimsonia, however due to the massive loss of troops by the New Vilnius Offensive, the West Bistonian Socialist Republic nearly collapsed to instability and corruption, the West Bistonian Socialist Republic was at the verge of collapse due to the formation of the West Bistonian Islamic Front, which eventually led to it's eventual demise as the West Bistonian Socialist Republic was dissolved after their capital was captured.

In 1990, the Islamic West Bistonian Emirates was established, but it was too late as the Bistonian Armed Forces and the Free Bistonian Army began ordering their troops to capture the capital of the West Bistonian Emirate, eventually the capture led to the end of the Islamic West Bistonian Emirate and forced the West Bistonian Islamic Front to hide within the forests of the region.

Invasion of Wilnotarn and Arshturn 1989 - 1990
The invasion of Wilnotarn and Eastern Arshturn was the final phase of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, as in late 1989 during the aftermath of the New Shingleton Incident, the Bistonian Air Force began bombarding the Crimsonian province of Wilnotarn and Eastern Arshturn and in 20 minutes after the bombardment ground invasion began, capturing coastal cities and areas of Wilnotarn, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations condemned the invasion, but no actions were taken to the invasion. The Crimsonian-Bistonian war reached into 1990, as Crimsonian troops were desperate and attempting to hold back against the invading Bistonian troops, local forces rebelled against the occupation but failed, and Bistonian troops were making major advancements into the island, civillians cheered on the streets as Bistonia invaded the island.

By January 3rd 1990, most of Southern Wilnotarn came under Bistonian control, as a curfew was set up and major checkpoints were set up, and martial law within the occupied island were set up, and several government offices and communist monuments were destroyed, and several highways were captured, and in Northern Wilnotarn things were desperate, as people attempt to flee the island. In April 1990, Bistonian troops entered Kraibrezhen, the capital of Wilnotarn, at this point the Crimsonian-Bistonian War is months into ending, and in May 1990, the Treaty of Kraibrezhen was signed.

Wilnotarn Civil War 2003 - 2006
The Wilnotarn Civil War began in 2003 as the rebels aimed to achieve independence after the alleged mistreatment of the Crimson population in the incorporated Bistonian province of Wilnotarn, the Wilnotarn Civil War contributed to the creation of the State of Wilnotarn and led to the constant instability, corruption and then eventually violent civil wars in the country, which many countries like Bulgaria and Bistonia intervened in the conflict since 2009.

The violent civil war in Wilnotarn began in mid 2003 as seperatists demonstrated against alleged mistreatment of the Crimson majority in the island, and demanded full independence, the Bistonian government began cracking down on demonstrations in Kraibrezhen, worsening the demonstrations, eventually the demonstrations turned into a full out civil war and reigned terror on the province of Wilnotarn.

The police in Wilnotarn, responsible for the crackdown of demonstrations, joined the demonstrations, and the Wilnotarn Civil War began in mid 2003, this eventually caused the Republic of Bistonia to mobilize it's forces and attempt to crush the rebellion, their attempt on crushing their rebellion failed and most of the rebels eventually captured most of Western Wilnotarn, eventually Bistonia sued for peace.

The Republic of Bistonia was forced to fully recognize the independence of the State of Wilnotarn and redraw all its troops from the province, eventually the creation of the State of Wilnotarn contributed to problems in the state as factions began fighting and turning on eachother, beginning a year long conflict and forcing both Bistonia and Crimsonia to intervene in the conflict.

Arshturn Conflict 1998 - 2008
The Arshturn Conflict was a border conflict between the Bistonian counterpart of Eastern Arshturn and the Bulgarian counterpart of Western Arshturn, this was the most recent war with the Republic of Bistonia and the country formerly known as Crimsonia, the border conflict eventually turned into a full out war and then eventually forcing the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to set up a demilitarized zone.

The Arshturn Conflict began as a border conflict between Bistonian and Bulgarian troops, eventually the border conflict forced Bistonia's army to act and bombarded Ribolov, the capital of Arshturn, and this led to Bulgarian troops responding to the border conflict with more bombardment, this turned into an all out war in the island of Arshturn.

Eventually, Bistonian troops were close to victory within the conflict as they surrounded Ribolov, but because of the violence within the conflict the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations intervened within the conflict, they put an immediate stop to the conflict and force both sides into signing an agreement to setup a demilitarized zone in Arshturn and the divide of the city, Ribolov.

The Arshturn Conflict contributed to the further division of Arshturn and anger by the population.

Modern Day
In the modern day, despite their various problems concerning the Wilnotarn Conflict, Bistonia today is a democratic and free government, their government was accused for the involvement of an alien species called the "Zebraliens" responsible for UFO sightings in Central Bistonia, Bistonia and it's government was also described as having reigned terror on its occupied territories with it's army.

However, Bistonia didn't last as eventually in 2079 after pressure from the Third Great War in Mesothemia and the entire planet, Bistonia launched its nukes immediately revealing its plans of the so called Void and nuked the St. Ark Federation, Sidan, and then eventually Bulgaria and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, the nations responded by nuking Bistonian cities and destroying the Bistonian government, this led to the evacuation of government officials and since 2079 their government is currently hiding within bunkers.

Geography
The geography within mainland Bistonia is that the region is diverse, from the huge mountains of Central Bistonia to the plain fields of Southern Bistonia, mainland Bistonia has two different worlds, and the geography of mainland Bistonia is divided into West, South, North and Central Bistonia, including most of its minorities.

Northern Bistonia
Northern Bistonia is the most populated region of mainland Bistonia, it is where the largest two cities of Kriadavia and New Vilnius are located, unlike Central and Southern Bistonia, Northern Bistonia is filled with forests and national parks, and much more secular compared to Southern Bistonia and West Bistonia, the majority of Northern Bistonia is mostly Lithuanian, which takes nearly 84% of Northern Bistonia's population, it is also where the Great Lake is located including main governmental facilites, and Northern Bistonia is mainly Protestant.

West Bistonia
West Bistonia is the most unique region of mainland Bistonia, and a much more different part compared to Bistonian cities, there is no existance of a large city within the region, unlike Northern Bistonia, most of West Bistonia is mostly fields although parts of this region are mountainous, with the Central Bistonian mountains dividing West Bistonia, it is where most of Bistonia's major exports and known ports were situated, it is situated between Bistonia's most vital sea called the Bistonian Sea, the majority currently inhabiting West Bistonia are the former Crimson settlers who converted to Islam during Ottoman rule in Bistonia.

Central Bistonia
Central Bistonia is a region in mainland Bistonia, and a much more rural area compared to the largest cities of Bistonia, unlike the rest of the regions within Bistonia, Central Bistonia is mostly mountainous and mostly winter and cold, and undeveloped, the region of Central Bistonia has very poorly connected roads and the sight of a bridge in Central Bistonia is not very common, most of the developed parts of Central Bistonia are in the northern part of the region, however the majority of the population inhabiting the rural areas of Central Bistonia have no record of religion whatsoever nor have any record of their minority group.

Southern Bistonia
Southern Bistonia is considered a unique and completely different region compared to Northern Bistonia, the region has a very unique history during the colonial era of Crimmitonia, most of their are rural and isolated before Bistonia's independence and the only thing connecting Southern Bistonia to the northern counterpart is the New Vilnius-Mazoji railway, however after Bistonia's independence in 1960, a massive highway project was planned further connecting the communities of Southern Bistonia, further developing the region, the majority of the population are settlers from the former Dominion of St. Ark and the United States of Megaton and Columbia, with an intense blend of culture and the carving of legacy within the region, they are mostly Catholic compared to Northern Bistonia and is much more populated, it is also next to the Bistonian Sea.

Bistonian Shingleton
The island of Bistonian Shingleton is a completely different region away from the influence of Bistonia and the influence of Southern Bistonian catholics, compared to the other regions, Bistonian Shingleton is mostly forest, similar with Northern Bistonia, Bistonian Shingleton is developed and a tourist attraction due to the unique culture and resorts, the majority of the population are Lithuanians from the west and settlers from St. Ark in the east, which divides Bistonian Shingleton into both Catholic and Protestant.

States
States within the Republic of Bistonia run in the regional system, as the Republic of Bistonia is divided into 5 states depending on their regional locations rather than organize and divide them into seperate small states and districts, the states are Northern Bistonia, West Bistonia, Central Bistonia, Southern Bistonia, and the island of Bistonian Shingleton, however after the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the reform of political systems in the Republic of Bistonia led to the end of the regional system in 2001, and the division of states into seperate and governed states.

Northern Bistonia
The region of Northern Bistonia is part of the regional state system within the Bistonian government, it is considered the most developed and secular state within the Republic of Bistonia compared to other parts of the country, where religion holds more power than the government combined, Northern Bistonia is connected through a vital series of highways spanning across mainland Bistonia, and where much more larger cities would be often noticed, Northern Bistonia is mostly developed and focused on and the state is much more safer.

Northern Bistonia during the events of New Shingleton in 1989 has it's infrastructure completely destroyed, along with power lines, roads and highways connecting to the city of New Vilnius after the New Vilnius, a last ditch attempt by the People's Republic of Crimsonia to capture the city of New Vilnius and expect Bistonia to surrender, Northern Bistonia afterwards faced a heavy task in rebuilding.

West Bistonia
The region of West Bistonia was granted autonomy by the Bistonian government, with self governing, it is considered the second most neglected state behind Central Bistonia, in the region the Crimson majority has faced discrimination and treatment as second class citizens, and the inefficient control of the polio epidemic that occured in 1986 earlier had worsened the reputation of the Bistonian government, and the Islamic religion had nearly controlled 50% of the autonomous governmental system in West Bistonia.

West Bistonia during the events of New Shingleton has been completely unstable and on the verge of collapse after the West Bistonian Socialist Republic had been dissolved in late 1989 and the sudden takeover by the West Bistonian Islamic Front, currently West Bistonia is under full military control and divided into several military districts, and faced with a heavy task of rebuilding after the events of New Shingleton.

Central Bistonia
Central Bistonia is a state within the Republic of Bistonia, however due to the rural and unconnected areas in the mountainous regions of Central Bistonia, there is no presence of a governing state in Central Bistonia including districts and towns in the city, it is the most neglected state within the Republic of Bistonia, in the region most of the rural villages are in poverty.

Central Bistonia during the events of New Shingleton in 1989 still remained the same, although it became the most controversial region during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War as both sides attempt to control the region, however due to the lack of roads, Crimsonia failed to takeover the mountainous region due to the major flaws of the vehicles used within the war, currently Central Bistonia is deserted and has a lack of population, it is not sure what happens after the New Shingleton Incident if Central Bistonia remains an isolated and neglected state or becomes much more safer for the locals inhabiting the region.

Southern Bistonia
Southern Bistonia is considered the most largest state within the Republic of Bistonia, with the second largest city of Mazoji as its capital, with the New Vilnius-Mazoji railway connecting the two cities, in Southern Bistonia most areas are suburban neighborhoods and farmland, before the war, Southern Bistonia gained their reputation as being much more better compared to the north and western areas of Bistonia.

However, there are many dark sides of the region of Southern Bistonia, as it became a known area for alleged UFO sightings by an unknown species from a different galaxy, and that the Catholic division controlled too much power on the people compared to the governing secular government of Northern Bistonia, it is considered not secular and slightly isolated.

During the events of New Shingleton during the year 1989, Southern Bistonia became one of the most dangerous places to live in, as the Bistonian state became known for intense battle against Crimsonian and Bistonian troops and rebels in the area, and many utilities for the population inhabiting Southern Bistonia are limited within the city of Mazoji.

Bistonian Shingleton
Bistonian Shingleton is the smallest state within the Republic of Bistonia, with an unknown city as it's capital, the state of Bistonian Shingleton has a reputation of being the most greatest places for tourism, and Bistonian Shingleton was considered widely as a tourist attraction, cities were filled with vacational resorts and companies flock to the state to gain revenue from tourism.

Bistonian Shingleton is unique and mostly inhabited by settlers from St. Ark, because of this unique status, it was given autonomy and the right to self govern as a Bistonian state, which made Bistonian Shingleton far more of a different world compared to the rest of mainland Bistonia, it was also considered as the New England of Bistonia.

However, during and before the events of New Shingleton, the island of Bistonian Shingleton became one of the most devastating conflicts, as seperatists and unionists began reigning terror on Bistonian Shingleton, the conflict worsened that the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations occupied a portion of Bistonian Shingleton, it is not known whether or not Bistonian Shingleton retains its autonomy and tourism after the Crimsonian-Bistonian War.

Cities
In the Republic of Bistonia before the war, there were known to be 4 largest cities spanning across the landmass of Bistonia, these cities are named, New Vilnius, the capital of the Republic of Bistonia, Mazoji, Kriadavia, and Bistonian Shingleton, most of these cities have been partially destroyed and bombarded by the Crimsonian army during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War by the events of New Shingleton in 1989.

New Vilnius
The city of New Vilnius serves as the main capital and headquarters of the Republic of Bistonia, once formerly the capital of the Bistonian Empire and once a great and marble civilized city, the city of New Vilnius is now one of the most largest cities of the Republic of Bistonia, the city of New Vilnius is divided into boroughs and comprised of a mix of old industrial sectors, downtown areas and skyscrapers.

The city of New Vilnius is uniquely diverse, as immigrant workers arrived in the city and established businesses including a blend of culture from other cities from Mesothemia, and the downtown areas including industrial sectors are inhabited mostly by migrant workers and illegal immigrants, and most highways built in Bistonia lead directly to the city of New Vilnius, an entire transportation system was built under the city of New Vilnius, allowing further travel of districts in the city.

During the events of New Shingleton in 1989, New Vilnius is deserted by the constant bombardment by the Crimsonian army and the New Vilnius Offensive, most downtown areas and industrial sectors are occupied by the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations to defend the capital from ground invasion from the Crimsonian army, and most highways are either blocked or destroyed, most of these disconnect New Vilnius from their presence of other cities.

Mazoji
The city of Mazoji, also known as Small or Little in Lithuanian, is the second largest city within the Republic of Bistonia and serves as the capital of Southern Bistonia, despite its long distance from the city of New Vilnius, it is connected through highways and railways leading to the city of New Vilnius and many other towns in Southern Bistonia, the city is filled with historical landmarks dating from the migration of settlers from the colony of St. Ark.

The city of Mazoji is uniquely diverse as equal with the capital city of New Vilnius, although the big difference between the city of New Vilnius and Mazoji is that the city of New Vilnius is much more secular and larger compared to the city of Mazoji, it is filled with downtown areas and a metro system connecting to the several districts of the city.

During the events of New Shingleton in 1989, the city of Mazoji is nearly deserted and much more devastated than the city of New Vilnius, as industrial sectors were completely destroyed including utilities required for the city to function, most downtown areas were completely bombarded and the city of Mazoji has been partially destroyed by the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the siege of Mazoji in 1988, the railway connecting to New Vilnius has also deteriorated further accelerating the decline of the city of Mazoji, including metro systems which have been completely buried under rubble.

Kriadavia
The city of Kriadavia is the third largest city within the Republic of Bistonia and is located in the state of Northern Bistonia, serving as the second city in Northern Bistonia behind the city of New Vilnius, formerly the city of Kriadavia was a small Bistonian village during Crimmitonian rule, and then eventually expanded into the third largest city in the Republic of Bistonia.

However, not much is known about the city of Kriadavia before the Crimsonian-Bistonian War in 1987, however it is noted in New Vilnius Radio and stated by Mr. Braun that a hotel in downtown Kriadavia has been set on fire, damaging it's surroundings and killing hundreds of people in the process, it is not known what happened afterwards or any further detail of the city of Kriadavia in New Vilnius Radio.

During the events of New Shingleton in 1989, it became the capital and headquarters of the known Free Bistonian Army, a known paramilitary group that seperated from the Bistonian Armed Forces after the New Vilnius Coup, it is not known about the conditions in Kriadavia, but due to the reputations gained by the Free Bistonian Army by the Crimsonian army, it is either damaged or destroyed.

Minorities
Minorities within the Republic of Bistonia are only a few, with the main majority being the Lithuanians, with the Crimsons as the second, and tribals in Central Bistonia, most of these minorities are segregated by the regional system implemented by the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1940, and the neglect of the regional system led to the segregation.

Bistonians
Lithuanians, also known as Bistonians, are the main majority of the Republic of Bistonia, taking over 78% of the majority population of the Bistonian mainland, they are recognized as a minority group within the People's Republic of Crimsonia, most of these Bistonians inhabit most of Northern Bistonia and parts of Southern and Western Bistonia, the religion of these Bistonians are mostly Protestant, while in the isolated towns of Northern Bistonia some of them retained their Catholic division of Christianity.

Crimsons
Crimsons are the second majority of the Republic of Bistonia, taking over 15% of the population in the mainland, most of these Crimsons inhabit most of Western Bistonia and most of these Crimsons arrived into the mainland during the 16th century, not much is known about their history in the Bistonian mainland, but they are mostly segregated and face utter discrimination by it's neighbouring states. Their religion is mainly Sunni Islam while some retained their Orthodox Christianity.

Settlers
Although not a minority in the Republic of Bistonia, these settlers take up the rest of the population in the mainland, most of these Settlers come from the St. Ark Federation in the 1800s and 1900s to look for work, but over the centuries they have become civillians of the Bistonian mainland, most of these settlers inhabit most of Southern Bistonia, their religion is mainly Catholic.

Military
Although there were several military divisions connected to the Bistonian government and the Bistonian mainland, the main division of the Bistonian government by the events of New Shingleton are the Bistonian Armed Forces, and the infamous Free Bistonian Army, while some military groups are hostile to the Bistonian government and some plead allegiance to Crimsonia.

Bistonian Armed Forces
The Bistonian Armed Forces are the main military division of the Provisional Government of Bistonia and the former Republic of Bistonia, they were founded after the independence of the Republic of Bistonia in 1960, and before the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, despite the advanced technology given and funded by the government, they are poorly equipped and underfunded as the Bistonian government began to focus more on development than reinforcing the strength of the military.

Because of this, during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, the Bistonian Armed Forces was completely weakened and took over the country after the New Vilnius Coup in 1988, and the Bistonian Armed Forces were split by the Free Bistonian Army after the coup d'etat and alleged betrayal, however throughout the late phases of the war the Bistonian Armed Forces were eventually strengthened and eventually pushed out Crimsonian troops out of the mainland.

Free Bistonian Army
The Free Bistonian Army is the second military division related to the Provisional Government of Bistonia, it claims itself to be the main military of Bistonia after their split between the Bistonian Armed Forces after the New Vilnius Coup in 1988 and the Kriadavia Mutiny, it is infamous as it became one of the biggest eyesores of the Crimsonian army, as guerilla tactics used by the Free Bistonian Army weakened their operations in the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, it was also involved in major operations to weaken Crimsonian presence in the region.

The Free Bistonian Army eventually merged into the Bistonian Armed Forces after the establishment of the Second Republic of Bistonia in 1990, after an agreement was signed between the two military divisions, ending the Free Bistonian Army, the Free Bistonian Army also inspired revolutionaries in Bulgaria to merge into one group known as the Free Bulgarian Army to completely destroy the People's Republic of Crimsonia.
