===Prehistory===
[[File:Niah Skull.jpg|200px|
The first inhabitants of the Sokalan archipelago are thought to have come from prehistoric [[Iphelklori]]. Boats of a similar structure dating back to 40,000 years ago were unearthed in east Iphelklori as well as in South Sokala. The cause of the migration is unclear but it is speculated that migration of [[Species#Elves|Elves]] downwards south might've been the cause. Preserved skeletons were also found by [[Nuesperanza|Nuesperanzan]] archaeologists in caves in [[Nada]]. The first to be found was the "''Unang Bungo''" or "The First Skull" in the Nadan cave. Further exploration in the surrounding caves revealed at least 150 preserved skeletons, all of which were human. While most of the skeletons belonged to adult humans aged 30-40, "''Unang Bungo''" was told to have belonged to a 15-16-year-old male. A crack can be observed in "''Unang Bungo''"' leading many to speculate on the cause of death. The skeletons resembled the [[Eastern Civilization]] skeletons, a mass grave of over 300 skeletons that were as old as "''Unang Bungo''".
===Pre-colonial history (1000 BCE - 1620 CE)===
====Early states====
[[File:Lǎo Chéngqū Village.png|200px|thumb|left|Lǎo Chéngqū Village was unearthed in 2018 and was estimated to have been built in 900 BCE]]
A study conducted in 2003 concluded that the Sokalan islands were a hotbed for trade. According to the study, the Sokalan islands originally only had [[Tagisla]] and [[Durdneelian]] speaking tribes prior to the arrival of traders from [[Fuso]] arrived in north-eastern Sokala around 1100 BCE. These traders would later create small trading communities in the coastal areas. An example of these old trading communities is the [[Lǎo Chéngqū Village]] found in southern [[Diyu]]. Lǎo Chéngqū is believed to be one of the first villages built by [[Fuso|Fusoan]] traders. These trading communities would soon grow to coastal kingdoms with many Tagislan and Durdneelian tribes allying with the newcomers as recorded by the [[Silangan Tablets]], stone slabs inscribed in Old Tagisla detailing the alliance between 15 Tagislan tribes and Lǎo Chéngqū Village. The Fusoan settlements would grow sporadically, growing large enough to even rival [[Durdneel]] and the largest Tagislan tribes: the [[Silangan]], [[Baduyaw]], [[Tagupad]], [[Dumadag]], and [[Meri Laulu]] tribes. According to Tagislan writing, the Fusoan settlements, now united under [[Diyu|''"Empire of Diyu"'']] and led by [[Zhou Xiang|Empress Zhou Xiang]], would absorb the over 35 tribal nations since its inception. It would wage numerous wars against the southern Tagislan tribes, most notably the [[Diyuhan-Silangan War]] which are estimated to have lasted 50 years.
[[File:Monreal_stone.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The [[Silangan Tablets]], dated to be 2750-3000 years old, are stone slabs discovered in [[Laguna]] that were recording historical events from wars to diplomacy to even the speculated arrival of [[Staynes|Maltervenian]] traders.]]
Tagislan tribes are one of the few known civilizations to keep a record of events. Several caves and smooth stones have discovered around Southern Sokala that point towards the Tagislan use of flat stones and caves to record a variety of subjects however by 200 BCE, Tagislans have begun to switch to the use of wooden slabs for record-keeping. Their Diyuhan neighbors to the north had a different way of record keeping. Early Diyuhans discovered a way to create a writable surface called ''"yídòng shí"'' or 'mobile stone'. ''Yídòng shí'' was actually paper that was made from the bark of the mulberry tree. The bark fibers were broken and pounded into a sheet. Later, the Diyuhans discovered that one could make higher quality paper by adding hemp rags and old fish nets to the mix. The earliest record of this paper-making process is a diary of a Silangan historian, dated 120 CE.

===Colonial rule (1620-1920) ===
==== Formation of Sokala and Colonial rule ====
The former territories of [[Meri Laulu]], [[Empire of Diyu]], and [[Kingdom of Durdneel]] were put into one administration. The colonies, under the name of ''Sokala'' or officially "Sokalan Islands", was governed from the islands of Oileáin Iontacha, basing themselves in the [[Yadylikan Congressional Building|Oileáin Iontacha Colonial Governance Office]]. The name ''Sokala'' was derived from the Old Tagisla of "''Sokarata''" which meant "homeland". It was meant to unite the archipelago under one name. The Morststaybishlian Empire would rule over the archipelago for 200 years. During that time, natives were used by the Morsts for physical labor. They would be sent with expeditionary ships as physical laborers as the natives were very skilled in carpentry and masonry. In 1689, Natives would be sent to help Captain Kerden establish what would soon be called Queensport. For the following years, the natives would total up to 25% of Queensport’s population as more and more Lauluans were sent to build up the settlement and help construct a military naval port and other important buildings. In 1694, Caven forces attacked the Staynish port during which all the natives were conscripted and were forced to fight off the Caven soldiers. Unfortunately, Caven soldiers were more superior in numbers and equipment and slaughtered the Queensport population. Queensport would later be declared a Caven trading port. After receiving news of the Queensport’s defeat, Commodore Kerden, previously Captain, would be sent along with 2000 Morst soldiers and 800 conscripted natives. In a very short battle, Queensport would be retaken by Morst forces with very few casualties while most Caven soldiers died with only one Caven ship managing to escape. After the Battle of Queensport, The natives would see little to no participation in what would be the Caven Wars. During the Caven Wars, Native men were commonly employed as construction workers and shipbuilders while the women were employed as farmers and maids of the royal family.

After the [[Great War]], Morstaybishlia's military presence in the archipelago weakened and despite being granted home rule by Morstaybishlia, the various peoples that resided within the archipelago were vying for independence. In 1920, native tribes lead by [[Andrew Matagumpay]] took over the cities of [[Seibhu]], the then capital of Sokala, and the neighboring city of [[Bondoc]]. Clashes between Matagumpay's forces and the forces of the Sokalan government and Morstaybishlia occurred throughout Sokala. Despite 7 weeks of fighting resulting in heavy losses, the frontline ceased to move and resulted in a stalemate. Talks were launched between Matagumpay and [[Orson Klarass]], the prime minister of Morstaybishlia. After a week of back and forth, an agreement was formed. In exchange for Morstaybishlia keeping the city of [[Sontoc]], [[Nada Naval Base]], and [[Betho Air Base]] under Morst control for 75 years, Sokalan independence recognized by Morstaybishlia as an independent nation.

The Constitution of the First Republic was approved by referendum on 1 January 2001.

This system revolves around three separate and sovereign yet interdependent branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. Executive power is exercised by the government under the leadership of the president. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the bicameral Parliament: the House of Lords (the upper house) and the House of Commons (the lower house). Judicial power is vested in the courts with the Supreme Court as the highest judicial body. The President of the Republic, currently [[Domingo Rolex]], is the head of state and government, elected directly by universal adult suffrage for a 4-year term (formerly 2 years). The Prime Minister, currently [[Aruto Matagumpay]], is the co-head of government, appointed by the President of the Republic. The president can be removed from the parliament with a vote of no confidence. On the occasion that the president is removed from office, the prime minister can assume the duties of the president. The Sokalan parliament is the bicameral legislative body of Sokala. Its lower house is the [[House of Commons (Sokala)|House of Commons]] while the upper house is the [[House of Lords (Sokala)|House of Lords]].
