The Democratic Republic of Sokala, commonly called Sokala, is a unitary constitutional semi-presidential republic in Arcturia. Situated in the Arcturian Sea, it consits of 11 islands that are broadly categorized between three geographical divisions from north to south: North Sokala, Central Sokala and South Sokala. The capital city and most populous city of Sokala is Bondoc city. Sokala covers 408,421 km² square kilometres and has an estimated population of 50 million people. While mostly Human, there are several communities of Nekomimis, Elves, Dwarves, and Felines.
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 Aurorans and Mainland Arcturians arrived. Exchanges with Durakian, Morst and Staynish nations occurred.
In early 1620, King Lambertus V of the Great Morstaybishlian Empire took interest in the three kingdoms. He began preparations for an invasion. By late 1620, the Meri Lauluan Coalition War ignited and led to the defeat of the three kingdoms and consequentially being turned into a Morst colony while Tiaro Tanashiri, Meri Laulu's leader at the time, was arrested and executed a year later. After the Meri Lauluan Coalitions' 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 others serving as troops in the Royal Armed Forces of the Empire during the Great War.
In 1920, Andrew Matagumpay and his forces occupy parts of Sokala in a bid to expel the Morstaybishlians from Sokala and declare independence. Despite fielding a smaller military because of the Great War, Morstaybishlian and Sokalan loyalists resisted the rebellion. Despite heavy losses on both sides, the frontline was unable to move. Recognizing the stalemate, Matagumpay and Morstaybishlian prime minister Orson Klarass agreed to have talks which resulted in recognition of Sokalan independence in September 1920.
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 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.

Formation of Sokala
Sokalan War of Independence
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.
