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 Meri Laulu. He began preparations for an invasion of the group islands. By late 1620, the 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 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.
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 nation-wide rebellion, formally called the Sokalan Rebellion, that would lead to their eventual independence in 1926.
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.
