Sintopiaball

Sintopiaball (officially the Republic of Sintopiaball) is the 51st state of USAball an island teleported from the far future into today a countryball in the Atlantic Northeast region of North America. He is known as a futuristic country, and is depicted as a time-traveller in Countryball comics, due to the futuristic buildings in his cities. He also has a mix of American and Commonwealth cultures.

History
Sintopiaball was originally a bunch of islands, inhabited by 3balls called the Ustlali. Then the British arrived and made a colony there. That colony was eventually divided into two colonies, North Sintopiaball (with the capital in Rotando) and South Sintopiaball (with the capital in Sintopia City). South Sintopiaball was eventually annexed into Massachusettsball, which joined the American Revolution and became a state of USAball.

North Sintopiaball continued as a British colony, and became a self-governing Dominion known as the Dominion of Sintopiaball in 1909. South Sintopiaball was a county in Massachusettsball (like how Kentuckyball was originally a county in Virginiaball) until the War of 1812, when Britain tried to retake it and failed; as a compromise, South Sintopiaball was made an unincorporated territory (like how Puerto Ricoball is today), known as the Commonwealth of Sintopiaball.

Castinelandball, now the largest city in Sintopiaball, was started in the 1820s, as an city in the American half, named after the governor at the time, Julius Castine.

By the interwar period, Sintopians were fed up with the UK and US controlling them. The UK refused to give North Sintopiaball status as a Canadian province or make it an independent republic; the USA refused to give South Sintopiaball statehood. So, in 1920, the Sintopian Revolution started. On February 17, 1921, the clay of Sintopia was finally granted independence from both the US and the UK, as the Republic of Sintopiaball.

Sintopiaball was neutral all through World War II. In the 1950s, Sintopiaball stole from Netherlandsball discovered how to make new land out of where there was once water, and started expanding its clay by stealing from the sea. By the 1970s, what was once an archipelago was now one big island.

In 1992, the current capital, Ustlali Cityball, was built smack-dab in the middle of the island, replacing Sintopia Cityball as the capital of Sintopiaball. It was named after the native Ustlali people.
