In prehistoric times, Islander Native from mainland Arcturia migrated to the islands in search of better resources. Following the arrival of [[Noramous Belth]] and his small group of [[Staynish]] crewmen, the small group of islands became the trader nation of [[Meri Laulu]]. During Meri Laulu's time as a nation, waves of [[Aurora|Aurorans]] and [[Arcturia|Mainland Arcturians]] arrived. Exchanges with [[Durakia|Durakian]], [[Great_Morstaybishlia|Morst]] and [[Staynes|Staynish]] nations occurred. |

In early 1620, [[Lambertus V|King Lambertus V]] of the [[Great Morstaybishlia|Great Morstaybishlian Empire]] took interest in Meri Laulu. He began preparations for an invasion of the group islands. By late 1620, the [[The Morst-Lauluan War of 1620|The Morst-Lauluan War]] ignited and led to Meri Laulu turning to a Morst colony while [[Tiaro Matagumpay]], Meri Laulu's leader at the time, was captured along with the rest of the Meri Lauluan citizens. |

After Meri Lauluan Coalitions's defeat, the archipelago became a Morstaybishlian colony |
After the Meri Lauluan Coalitions's defeat, the archipelago became a Morstaybishlian colony. During this time, Meri Laulu became a hot spot for merchants from Yasteria, Concord, and Gondwana to exchange and trade goods with Morst traders. Inhabitants of the archipelago became slaves to the Morstaybishlians, with some serving as manual laborers and other serving as troops in the [[Royal Armed Forces of the Empire]] during the [[Great War]]. |
||
After the [[Great War]], Morstaybishlia's military presence in the archipelago weakened and despite being granted some autonomy 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 city of [[Bondoc]]. Clashes between Matagumpay's forces and the forces of the Sokalan government and Morstaybishlia occured throughout Sokala. Despite 7 weeks of fighting resulting in heavy losses, the frontline didn't budge resulting in a stalemate. Talks were launched between Matagumpay and [[Orson Klarass]], the prime minister of Morstaybishlia. After weeks of back and forth, an agreement was formed. In exchange of Morstaybishlia keeping a hold of the city of [[Sontoc]], [[Nada Naval Base]], and [[Betho Air Base]] for 75 years, Sokala is recognized by Morstaybishlia as an independent nation. |

In the early months of 1920, [[The Sokalan Rebels]], lead by [[Andrew Sokala]], revolted and attacked the Morst town of [[Gamely]]. News of the rebel attack spread across the Meri Laulu archipelago and inspired other Lauluans to rebel against the Morst Empire. This would lead to a nation-wide rebellion, formally called [[the Sokalan Rebellion]], that would lead to their eventual independence in 1926. |
|||
Despite Matagumpay's wishes to establish a democratic republic, people were showing support for establishing a monarchy headed by Matagumpay and his clan. This was due to the Matagumpay tribe being one of the descendants of the Tanashiri tribe, the tribe that was the monarchy of Meri Laulu. After a month of debate, Matagumpay established Sokala as a monarchy with the Matagumpay family as its first royal family. |
|||
The Sokalan Rebels established [[The Monarchial States of Sokala]] in 1927. Andrew Matagumpay and his wife, Aiko, would become the nation's first leaders as King and Queen. Sokala would prop a parliamentary system with all 23 provinces that have their own Parliamentary representative. The nation became one of Arcturia's leading exporters of agricultural products; mainly rice, corn, coconuts, and bananas. |
|||
From 1928 to 1929, the nation was engulfed with racial tension between Staynish and Islander citizens. In 1930, tensions would finally come to its peak as a gang of Staynnes massacred 37 Islander children and adults in what would be called the [[Betho Kindergarten Massacre]]. By late 1930, the three years [[Staynish-Islander Civil War]] would spark and lead to the death of 157,000 combatant deaths and 51,000 civilian deaths. |
|||
Three years after the end of the civil war, Sokala would unite under the Democratic Republic of Sokala under the leadership of the Sokalan Family. Trade with nations across the globe would be established. Surprisingly, Morstaybishlia would be Sokala's greatest economic partner during its first years as a country. |

Sokala originated from the Old Arcturian Islander word of ''"Isokakala"'' which vaguely translates to "coconut heaven". The first use of the Sokala was in 1632 by an Iphelklorian scholar after visiting the archipelago during the Morstaybishlian occupation of the islands. |

The following months would lead to the unification of various tribes of Arcturian Islanders. By the end of the month, a total of 100 tribes have congregated and decided to merge with the growing nation. The nation would be unofficially called Meri Laulu or 'united flowers' in old Arcturian Islander. The fledgling nation began establishing settlements across the southern portion of the archipelago with most settlements being built on the coast. These settlements were later spotted by Morstaybishlian merchants who then opened trade with the natives. Soon, news of the new nation spread across Aurora and the other continents. |
