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
After Meri Laulu's defeat, the archipelago became a Morstaybishlian colony. This lead to the proliferation of Staynish culture and language. During this time, Meri Laulu became a hotspot for merchants from Yasteria, Concord, and Gondwana to exchange and trade goods with Morst traders however Meri Laulu's resources were heavily exploited by Morst merchants and government leading to 50% of wildlife to be extinct only after 300 years of occupation.

The Sokalan Rebels established [[The Monarchial States of Sokala]] in 1927. Andrew Sokala and his wife, Marybelle, 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
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

===Background===

Very little is known where the island natives came from. No record was found of the natives until the early
From what can be observed, the early Islanders were primarily a hunter-gatherer society. They would tend to live within groups of 5-7 people with most being men. In the 2nd millennium BCE, several Islander tribes begun farming root plants and fruits. This development rapidly pushed most Islanders to live in flat and exposed areas leading to frequent conflicts between Islander tribes. Sharpened bones were used as weapons and tools during what would be called the Age of Buto. In the late 2nd millennium BCE, Islanders regressed back to hunter-gathering due to conflicts leading to most tribes losing most of their men. This

===Meri Laulu's Establishment===
In the early
After 5 days at sea, Deckhand Noramus Belth and the other 37 survivors of Haligar finally found an island that was suitable to take shelter in. With the little supplies and armament, they managed to bring, they established what they thought would be a temporary settlement.

Three weeks after establishing a settlement, Belth decided to explore the nearby islands for more resources. On the first island, Belth and his men found several abandoned huts constructed from coconut lumber and corn leaves. After several hours of exploring, Belth decided to explore the next island. Before reaching the next island, Belth encountered several of what looked like islander natives. The deckhand, leading his men, tried to communicate with the natives. Instead of responding with words, he was met with various kinds of objects being thrown at him, causing him and his men to hastily row away to their settlement. Deciding that

Line 135:
After receiving news of the Queensport’s defeat, Commodore Kerden, previously Captain, would be sent along with 2000 Morst soldiers and 800 conscripted Lauluans. 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, Lauluans saw little to no participation in what would be the Caven Wars. During the Caven Wars, Lauluan men were commonly employed as construction workers and
===The Sokalan Rebellion===
After the Great War, the discontent of the Lauluans continues to grow because Lauluans were conscripted to fight for Morstaybishlia during the Great War which leads to the death of 5,000 Meri Lauluans. Several Lauluans started planning rebellions. One of them was Tiaro Sokala’s 5th generation relative, Andrew Sokala. Andrew Sokala, along with his wife, founded the Meri Lauluan Rebellion Corps. In January 1920, The Meri Lauluan Rebellion Corps, using a mix of stolen and smuggled guns, attacked and captured the town of Gamely. The attack on Gamely inspired other Lauluans to rebel. By February, 13 provinces would be secured by the MLRC. Summer would bring less success for the MLRC as Morstaybishlia had sent several thousand of its Imperial Armed Forces to quell the rebellion.
