The History of The Isle of Sheaman Leaders Wiki

Welcome to The History of Sheaman!

A Fictional History of the leaders that led a fictional island called the Isle of Sheaman (Pronounced He-mon)

Back-Story About The Beginning of The Island
In 1681 after a French-Spanish loosely related British person by the name of Sheaman discovered the island in early 1681 with 12 crew members the French colonized the island as the mission the crew were sent on was officially successful.

After the french government ships arrived on the island they found only one person left on the island who was Sheaman and for the time being between 1681-1689 the island would be under the french monarchy.

Later in 1689 Sheaman would be proclaimed leader of the island until his arrest in 1693 because the french government wanted to take full responsibility for finding the island.

Throughout 1689-1693 under the rule of Sheaman the nation only reached a population of around 40-50 people meaning the Sheaman hardly had much people to rule over and most of the the people on the island (except from 3 people including Sheaman) were put into forced labour to expand the island.

In 1693 Sheaman was arrested in his house on the island and sent to a small jail cell on the other end of the island constructed in 1692. Only two days later Louis XIV of France would become King/ruler of the island and would increase production of house building.

In 1696 Sheaman would be sentenced to death for an unknown reason by Louis XIV but the execution never took place due to Louis XIV deciding to change the date of his execution which also never happened.

In 1699 Sheaman was sent an even more secluded place on the island in the south-west due to the first people settling in the west of the island.

In early 1701 Sheaman was finally sentenced to death but only a few days before his execution he somehow escaped his prison cell. Throughout the rest of march and April of 1701 there was a search for Sheaman who couldn't have possible left the island due to there being guards at the docks and no other boats in sight. However, in the end he was never found and on May 7th 1701 Britain and France signed a deal after their war and Britain now completely owned the island. After the 7th of May 1701 until 1844 the British monarchy ruled the island until the "Act of Sheaman Political Government Reforms Rights of 1844" when the Isle of Sheaman was given a government under supervision by the British government.

What Happened To Sheaman?
Sheaman lived from 1662-1753 and lived a long life that was very emotional and secretive. He was born in France to a Spanish-British Father and a French mother. In 1678 he left his parents house and went to buy himself a small ship where he would begin serving the French navy due to being incredibly experienced for 16 years old. In 1681 he was tasked with an important mission to explore the oceans of the pacific and report back his findings however instead he found a new island which the French government colonized. In 1693 he was sent to prison and was sentenced to death in 1701 but somehow he manged to escape. This mystery was first professionally discussed between Jose Alcara and some of his friends how would later begin his research on Sheaman's life and how he escaped the prison cell he was in.

In March 1701 Sheaman somehow managed to escape prison and only was it in 1786 new information came out about Sheaman and what happened to him. then between 1786-1853 the person who found out new information about Sheaman and where he went spent his whole life into finding out where Sheaman went and what happened to him. His name was Jose Alcara who lived from 1770-1853 and was famous on his work on Sheaman by finding out his last resting location, his prison cell on the island and how he escaped.

In 1786 Jose found out that Sheaman had somehow escaped form his prison cell and lived on the island for almost 7 years without being found. This meant that he left the Isle of Sheaman in 1708 and sailed to the Philippines which was currently owned by the Spanish at the time. After reaching the Philippines he left the Philippines one year later in 1709 and went to Qing China where he quickly left and traveled through Russia and then into Prussia and by 1710 he ended up living in Prussia. He spent lots of his life writing in a journal that was discovered by Sir Thomas of England in 1876 in Berlin whilst visiting old housing properties to refurbish. he later went to Britain where he traveled from and presented it to Queen Victoria who sent it to the prime minister who revealed it to the public a couple months later in 1877.

After many years of writing in his journal about his life he finished his book in 1712 that he would end up never publishing due to him wanting to keep it as a secret for no apparent reason. Between 1712-1724 he would live without a social life and hardly interact with anyone but in 1725 he finally opened up his life again by the name of Herman and became a beloved person for telling stories about what happened to Sheaman and gathered many crowds. Many people believed his stories about a man who was poisoned and helped Sheaman escape his prison cell and how he escaped the island to the Philippines with just a boat and some food. He told these stories for many years until 1733 when people became suspicious of his identity and he was never seen again after that until he died in 1753.

Jose Alvcara was heavily invested in Sheaman's life and in 1793 found out where he exactly lived throughout his life and was proclaimed a genius by many history books. In 1798-1803 he studied how Sheaman may have escaped his prison cell but found nothing until he revisited his study in 1810 and found out that there was one guard at his cell all the time and eventually found out in 1818 that the guard had been poisoned and died with his hand in the jail cell with the keys in his hand. So In 1818 Jose officially found out how Sheaman had escaped the prison. Between 1836-1853 Jose tried to find Sheaman's journal and even though he never found the Journal he knew that it was in Berlin and that it was home to all the stories that Sheaman had told to the public.

So in the end Jose had found out almost everything he could about Sheaman and his research would be very important for future research on Sheaman such as when Sir Thomas found Sheaman's journal he wouldn't have found the book if it weren't for Jose's studies and research on Sheaman. or even Boris Maurice found out that Joseph Jacks was related to Sheaman in the 1950s he had to find out information about Sheaman written by Jose Alvcara.

1681-2045 The Expanded History of Sheaman
This History will explain any political sides of the history of Sheaman and keeping to more of the major parts of Sheaman History.

It begins at 1681 when Sheaman and his crew arrived on the shores of the Isle of Sheaman and ends with the dissolution of Sheaman itself.

1701-1919 The Harsh Reign of Great Britain
After the "Treaty of Conversion of Sheaman" in 1701 England took full control of the island under the rule of William III who would only stay in power until his death in 1702. William made bad reforms to the island such as demanding a 16 hour work day to all people that would strain every living person on the island but what worked about the new law was that people were way too tired to revolt meaning that the Isle was still firmly under English Rule.

After William's death in 1702 Anne I would become Queen of England and would decide that the people should start building more agricultural based areas in the center of the island. These agricultural center farmlands would be beneficial for the island as it would finally bring a sustainable food source. Anne I managed to keep the first handful of people to stop forwarding a revolution and Anne I could sit back and relax now.

In 1707 When the Acts of Unions law had been passed which united Scotland and England under one crown Great Britain was formed and ever strengthened their power. Anne I continued here agricultural plans until 1710 when the plans had been completed with an abundance of food all over the island. When Anne I died in 1714 and George I took over as King of the island the population were displeased as Anne I had at least boosted the agricultural industry and food production. George I finally focused on the island in 1720 when he decide that the country needed to have a higher population and George I issued a law that if any person was over the age of 18 and was married had to have 3 children or more otherwise they would be committing a crime. This Law was called the "Reproduction Law for Sheaman 1720" that would be seen a sin by the population of Sheaman for forcing pregnancy.

Later in 1727 when George I died and George II took the throne the population of Sheaman were happier now that there was a new King that would hopefully be better than the last. In 1736 with George II making terrible laws and extending the work day to now 18 hours people had enough and began planning a revolution with any time that they had. Soon on the 2nd of May 1738 the Revolution of Sheaman begun with 2600 people against 200 odd British soldiers this battle lasted from the 2nd of May-28th of May 1738 and lead to around 400 civilians lives gone and 130 soldier casualties. In the end the british arrived on the island again with a larger amount of soldiers which was about 2,000 and manicured the population until there was only 300 people left. This battle lasted from June 11th-August 12th 1738 and lead to even more harsh punishment. Also a couple weeks later after the revolution the British disallowed anybody from the British Isle under the control of Great Britain to visit or immigrate to the island.

Throughout 1738-1764 would be a time of awful treatment for the people of Sheaman as they would be punished by the king relentlessly. These times would be hard for the economic situation in on the island as between 1746-1753 there were be low rainfall and in the years of 1748 and 1752 there be be major droughts. The country's population would try their best to keep the island rich in plantation but would ultimately fail to recognise their problem and in 1752 the country blamed the problem on the King of Great Britain (George II) as the problem and would demand to have their own political freedom. George II responded by denying that a government was needed at this time and forced the people of the country to start paying more taxes to the King. The country faced a worse problem in 1753 when the population was beginning to fall and the people relied on the rainfall to be better next year. In 1754 the people's wishes were heard as they got plenty of rainfall that year and could begin reconstructing the agricultural based economy. In George II decided that he needed a commandant of the island or a vassal leader to keep the island under a firm control of the British Government. the people were happy that George II had made his decision and could begin reconstructing under a new leader. In 1757 Harvey Colton-Gray was announced as leader of the island and began constructing his own minor cabinet to help run the country. With a council established and a rule in place the people could cheer for George II but not for long as George II would announce a 50% tax on yearly income means that the average man would gain £8,000 a year instead of £16,000 a year (2021 Conversion). The people however didn't have time to frown on his rule as only three years later he would die and was succeeded by his son George III.

Between 1760-1794 the agricultural based economy would grow and try to combat the massive taxation on yearly income. In 1764 the brutal punishment of the colony ended when the vassal ruler of the island Harvey Colton-Gary was given the power of punishment and power of jobs on the island and decided to lower the daily working day to 14 hours a day and end the mass punishment of civilians of the country. In 1767 Harvey Colton-Gray abolished the "Reproduction Law of Sheaman 1720" due to it being seen as a sin to the country and Harvey Colton-Gray disagreeing with the law. In 1771 Christianity would be challenged by a new religion on the island founded by Max Colton-Gray (brother of Harvey Colton-Gray) called Maxifolian that saw being cruel and manipulative as powerful and virtuous traits. They also saw the importance of freedom and authoritarian rule. They also created a secret society that lasted from 1764-1857 and would later establish a pope in the name of the religion. For now the religion stayed quite quiet and secretive until their uprising in 1798 until 1803. Between 1771-1780 Harvey tried to make laws that worked around the new religion but in the end he only made the religion even more popular in the island.

Between 1784-1786 British and Sheaman people began protesting for the island to have free borders as many people wanted to immigrate to the island and many others wanted to immigrate to Britain. In 1786 George III decided there was no point to say no to their demand and agreed that they could once again have free borders.

1786-1800 Change In Religion
Between 1786-1800 the religion of Maxifolianism grew and by 1792 50% of the population were supporting and practising the religion. For the first time civilians who practised Maxifolianism started to build their own churches across the country due to the government banning all Maxifolian practises in public. Harvey Colton-Gray began to punish those who built churches and imprison or even execute them. People however stood up to his harsh authoritarian punishment and by 1796 the first riots began. These riots consisted of over 8,000 Maxifolians against 2,800 Christian protesters. The peacefully protest however ended in violence when over 300 men began to brawl in the city center and shots began to fire. The riots ended in 700 civilians dead and the brewing of a civil war. In 1798 the civil war began and at the time 65% of the population were Maxifolians which meant the christians would have a much harder time trying to force the Maxifolians to surrender even with an army.

1798-1803 The Maxifolian-Christian Civil War for Sheaman
The Civil War that began in the country in 1798 due to high tensions between the Maxifolians and the Christians due to Maxifolians being 65% of the population and did not agree with the current government. The first battle was in Shriel-brit in 1799 between 1,300 Maxifolians and 700 Christians this battle ended with a Christian victory due to there being no Maxifolian commander and no proper leader of the revolution.

Although the Christians suffered more casualties they successfully managed to win the battle again due to there being no commander/leader of the battle. The Christians and Maxifolians would then take another year to fully recover due to the battle harming both political sides. On the 7th of April 1800 the Maxifolians launched a surprise attack on the military barracks with 2,400 men against 200 trained musket soldiers. This attack was actually costly for the Maximilians as the battle ended with a draw due to both sides retreating.

After the battle the leader of the Maxifolian revolution was assigned as dictator. His name was Max Colton-Gray who was the founder of the religion and brother of the government authoritarian leader Harvey Colton-Gray. He was to lead to revolution and win it otherwise he knew his head was to be on a spike. On September the 13th 1800 Max ordered 300 men to blockade the dock in Shriel-brit where all the imports came in. Max did this so that no food could be imported without them raiding and plundering the boat and taking the resources. When dock workers arrived on September 15th for an import of food they were killed by 4 Maxifolian guards. One of the dock workers escaped and told Harvey who sent 70 guards to finish them off. When the guards arrived they were ambushed however they successfully stood there ground and caused some casualties. In the end the guards failed to capture the docks and the Maxifolians took their first win.

In October 1800 the food situation got so bad that Harvey ordered 300 trained guards to exterminate the Maxifolians. When the Maxifolians heard this news they reinforced the docks with 430 moe guards leaving the Maxifolians with 600 guards. The battle was costly for both sides and led to a Christian win.

After that battle the imports once again flowed in and they began to rebuild the nation. Between 1800-1802 a few skirmishes and battle took place that ended in Maxifolian victories and some draws but in February 1803 with the Maxifolian population dropping by 3% since January 1st 1802 the government declared that the Maxifolians were weak so they began to plot the capture of Max Colton-Gray who was the leader of the revolution. On March 17th 1803 the government almost captured him leading an execution in the center of town and were almost seen. However on April the 26th 1803 they had finally captured Max Colton-Gray and sentenced him to death in one week. After the Maxifolians heard the news over 80% of Maxifolians surrendered seeing no point to fight on and also recognising that the population of Maxifolians were dropping. The execution of Max however never happened due to him being given a trial and his lawyers managing to let him live with a 30 years sentence to prison. After Maxifolian was sentenced to prison only around 600 men still fought under his name but were soon all killed and the rest sentenced up to 20 years of imprisonment.

1803-1808 Clamping down on Maxifolian supporters and the rebuilding of the nation
After the major civil war the government had faced they began to rebuild the nation due to many skirmishes and battle that destroyed many homes and even the dock in Shriel-brit. In 1804 Harvey Colton-Gray would from old age at 58 and his memory would be very controversial due to his authoritarian punishment but also his prosperity of the nation. After his death this lead to his son Jonathan Colton-Gray who was 33 at the time took power. The country was not an heir situation it was that Jonathan had managed to seize power after his death and became dictator. Jonathan decided as his first act was to higher the military strength of the government and reduce the power of Maxifolians into the military and this deeply upset the Maxifolians. By 1808 the Maxifolians tried their luck again (as their power was increasing with 57% of the population being maxifolian) and started a civil war against the current government. This civil war only lasted one year and only had one battle. The battle was between 5,000 Maxifolians and 1,100 trained Government soldiers. the Government won the battle and due to it being such a big battle only two months later the Maxifolians would surrender.

1809-1831 The Fall of Maxifolianism and the fall of the old government
This battle would be the most costly battle that Sheamans had ever seen until 1886 and would mark a turning point in the whole of the country itself. By 1811 the Maxifolian population peak with 62% of the country practising the religion but after 1811 the religion would begin to fall and by 1820 only 43% of the population would practise the religion. As the religion fell so did the governments grip on the people. In 1820 after George III died and George IV took control George IV decided to strengthen his position as leader of the Isle of Sheaman and stripped many government rights. In 1821 Maxifoliansim which had fell to around 27% of the population decided to change their ways and religion to fight the Liberal ideals that people wanted. So they decided that their religions liked Liberalism and democracy and that they supported kindness and saw rich people and politicians as the higher power. In 1823 they began to grow at a rapid rate that sent them off the rails that threatened the whole government. Already by 1827 Maxifolianism had reached over 50% of the populations following and they demanded for Max Colton-Gray to be released. the government would not release Max so 600 Maxifolians stormed the government building and demanded that they release hima nd after a couple hours they forced Jonathan to release Max. In 1828 Max once again became the leader for the movement and planned to start the civil war in 1831. By 1831 over 67% of the population were Maxifolians and were ready to start a civil war, so in that same year the civil war officially began on the 14th of August 1831.

1831-1844 The Third Revolution of Sheaman
Between 1831 and 1834 there were 5 battles that all ended in Maxifolian victories and further strengthened the Maxifolian religion. In 1835 a major battle between Catholics and Protestants began due to the small 3% of protestants in the population wanting to have their own independence as a protestant city state. This battle came out victorious for the Protestants and would later ally with the Maxifolians (by the way there was 800 protestants vs 2,000 Catholics).

Protestant Casualties-600

Catholic Casualties-1,600

After that battle the Catholics were extremely weakened and depended on major taxation to survive. By 1836 the Maxifolians had almost complete control but were soon stopped due to having lost their first battle between the Catholics. In 1839 although the Maxifolians had suffered soe defeats they managed to come back and began starting to win battle again. By 1840 Max Colton-Gray said something that would change the whole meaning of the civil war "I and you should now understand that we are not fighting for the government we are now fighting for complete independence from the British government". these words would change the whole meaning of the civil war as it made it a fight for independence. In 1841 the Catholics had been defeated and Jonathan abdicated as leader of the country leaving the position under control of Max Colton-gray. Late that year british troops would arrive on the island to fight the revolutionists due to Max calling out the british and demanding they have independence. From 1841-1844 this is known as the British Fight for Power or most commonly known as the 4th Revolution of Sheaman. In the end the Maxifolians won and achieved semi-independence of the whole entire island and not just the city of Shriel-brit.

1844-1879 The Freedoming Era
After the end of the war came on the 15th of August 1844 a treaty was signed 7 days later on the 22nd of August which gave the people the vote for either more autonomy or less autonomy. The public voted 91% in favour of higher autonomy and so it was given the next day and on the 1st of September 1844 the country would have their first elections between two parties, the British-Sheaman Crown Rule Party (BSCRP) or the British-Sheaman Liberal Party (BSLP). The people voted for the BSLP in the end with 62% of the vote and they would work on trying to distance themselves from the British.

In 1844 much Higher autonomy was granted to the government of the Isle of Sheaman and Max Colton-Gray who was 91 years old now was elected as leader of Sheaman after some quick elections. Max Colton-Gray certainly exceeded the average life expectancy in Sheaman as at the time of 1840-1850 the average life expectancy for a male was 48 and for a female 50.

Also in September 1844 the first parliamentary vote was taken on the count of taxes and whether it should stay at 5% taxation rate as a regressive tax or 10% as a regressive tax to pay for many loans that the British had requested until 1860. The name of the decision was called the "Colton Tax Proposal" that was proposed by Max Colton-Gray to reduce the major issue of debt in Sheaman. Evidentially On the 16th of September 85 to 18 of Constituent Representatives or CR's voted in favour of the tax.

In 1845 Decisions were made on the agreement of the country remaining part of the Commonwealth or leaving it entirely to form their own Monarchy or even a Republic. The government head/leader of the government Max Colton-Gray decided on staying part of the commonwealth as to him it was an industrial benefit as well as a economic benefit to the country as a whole. A minority of people however saw this as treacherous and deceitful to have not distanced from the commonwealth as he had promised to do whilst fighting for independence and many came to protest in Shriel-Brit. Later that same month he addressed the situation and managed to convince much of the minority that staying part of the commonwealth would be beneficial.

In 1847 Max Colton-Gray addressed the people over the situation of the economy and said that he would be working on it as fast as he could. The situation got dire however between March 1848 to May 1849 when the economy went into recession and taxes had to be raised as well as the only government programs to be taken down. Max Colton-Gray was shamed on for not leaving the commonwealth earlier as the British had been taking large quantities of money over the past few years that had destroyed everything.

On the 30th of October 1850 Max Colton-Gray passed away aged 97 in his home and many of his family and friends attended.

After his death on the 1st of September 1850 an election was held and Maraquita Ala won the election.

After the elections Maraquita would start his journey as leader of Sheaman and hoped for a rule under Britain.

Maraquita was very hated in his first year as prime minister as she believed that the British monarchy should take control of the island completely once again.

On the 10th of September 1851 however, he committed two crimes, he had first raped someone only a few weeks earlier and also abducted a child only hours before he was discovered. On the 14th of September 1851 he was arrested and executed only a day later.

On the 16th of September 1851 elections were held and the first non-major party won the election. The party was called the National Centrist Independent Party (NCIP) and just won the majority.

Population-140,000

NCIP-52%

BSCRP-43%

BSLP-5%

Martin Von Coloras who was the leader of the NCIP party had officially became the leader of Great British-Sheaman and was one of the few who supported the full independence of Sheaman and splitting from the commonwealth.

Martin Von Coloras had and English Mother and a German Father and they adopted an english name for him. Martin identified as German-British and became the first foreign prime minister to rule over Sheaman. Martin Von Coloras is usually called Von Coloras and he had short brown messy hair which peaked over his forehead. he had dark blue eyes and a bushy mustache and was 46 when he became Prime Minister.

Von Coloras started his early years as prime minister starting to replace the agricultural economy with an Industrial economy and he adopted a 20 years plan to convert the economy. Although no one said it was possible for him to last 20 years in office he still went on with the plan and began making new acts to change farming entirely.

One of his first Economic acts was to increase tariffs on international trade to support local industries with their products. In one act called the "Act of Economic Industrial Modification 4" he increased wages for factory workers to encourage more youth to work in these industries and create products that could benefit the economy.

By 1853 Von Coloras wanted to distance himself from the British and so he began cutting their diplomatic meetings and stopped British influence over the island. The crown get incredibly angry by this and demanded that Von Coloras repealed his decisions but unfortunately for the British he didn't.

In 1854 industries began popping up everywhere in the country and he even made plans to create a new city that would host the new capital called "Coloras City" which was suggested by one of his friends. He eventually backed out of the decision to make it the capital but still built the city and integrated some of the population there.

In 1856 Martin Von Coloras made the decision to lower the penalty of same-sex behaviours from a death penalty to life imprisonment.
