Shitstania was a spawn base founded by IAmTheSheriff in the Summer of 2019. It was unique from other bases by directly clinging to spawn, with access to an indestructible bed, ender chest, and many more useful things. It became a base of operations during The Second Siege due to its location.

Founding

In the summer of 2019, IAmTheSheriff was moving his home at the McCapital when he died without resetting his bed, sending him to spawn. As a distraction, he did the spawn parkour course. At the end was a small house on a floating island, with some useful items and a bed. More importantly, there was a 2x1 hole in this specific area of the glass case surrounding spawn. This would allow him to move between this indestructible 'starter base", and his new city. At Ostrich1414's suggestion the base was named "Shitstania", since making a base so close to spawn is considered a "shitty", ridiculous idea.

The Original Shitstania

Due to the scarcity of items at spawn, Shitstania was built in a manner similar to skyblock bases, relying on renewable resources. Its many tunnels through the lavacast held many farms, most importantly a watermelon farm which fed new players who passed through. Many griefers would come to Shitstania to destroy its farms and other structures. Sheriff never kept track of who griefed what, however, so only guesses can be made by various calling cards. IPyxis, Antzakes1, and The Fellowship all left a sign or other calling card at Shitstania, although not all of them may have griefed it.

Revivals

Shitstania was revived in the winter of 2021. The new base, built on the same location, had various farms, along with a Church of Melon (formerly the church of Francis, a build by Lord1), a cobble generator, and a large glass-floored room overlooking a deep tunnel left by a previous TNT-duped grief. After the destruction of Sigil, many members fled to Shitstania for temporary refuge. On January 17, 2020, Lord1 griefed Shitstania following his trial that found him guilty for The Sigil Conflict. Following AntHand and Lord1's waterlogging of spawn (Operation Moist Boiz II), the idea fell into dormancy while Sheriff worked at Takyon and later Exultia. At the first Simpvp Summit, Sheriff represented Shitstania's and built a booth explaining the base's history.

In September 2021, Sheriff returned to SimPVP. Thanks to The Dominion and their lavacasting of spawn (Operation Dry Boiz), Shitstania could be constructed once again, now under the name New Shitstania. Since the glass spawn walls and ceiling were removed, access to the indestructible spawn island was less available but still possible. During its construction, Shitstania was a hotbed for griefs from players such as Chease1 and the Operators. At the same time, however, Sheriff found allies in Chipinazo, 1590283112 and MFSIMPSON. Together, they built a collection of farms, a humble building to act as their base of operations, and a replica race car. On September 19, 2021, 4Pilot visited Shitstania. At the same time, 159 revealed himself as a traitor to Shitstania, presumably spurred by a grudge against 4Pilot, and killed several people in a crystal bombing. He then claimed the base for YeeterMyPeter, dubbing it "Copelania". After exchanging insults with the others, 159 decided to simply destroy what was left of the base with TNT. Following the incident, Sheriff and MFSimpson swore revenge on YMP, joining the Church of Francis. Another revival, under the COF, began in the fall of 2023.
