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.

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 of 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.

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.

== Etymology and terminology ==

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.
