Etymology
The name "Alezia" comes from an ancient Alezian word "Ali'icha'a'i" which means "I Found It". This word allegedly came from a shout of someone who was predicted to come from the Polynesian Islands. However, the word was made up and thus has no relation to any language of the Polynesian Islands.
The original word itself was contested previously. Some say "Ali'cha'a'i" "Ali'i'i'a'i" "A'i'cha'a'i" and many variations of the word. However, after referring to a written artifact of an Ancient Alezian Story called "The Life That Founds", the National History Committee of North Alezia (predecessor to the National History Committee of the Alezian Union) in 2009 added with consideration and agreement by Native Alezian Leaders of Dadon and Salem suggested and cemented that the actual word that was shouted is "Ali'icha'a'i" which remain in use to this day.
Previously, the name "Alezia" was used even from the start of the colonial era, where colonial powers would use terms such as "British Alezia" (North Alezia), "Dutch Alezia" (South Alezia), "French Alezia" (Pantabang Islands, later divided between Britain and Netherlands), and "Russian Alezia" (Mosin-Nagan and Pyalivostok-Daya Island, North Alezia, later given to Britain).
History
Founding of the Alezian Isles (around 100 - 1427 AD)
Not much is known about the people who settled in what would now become the Alezian Union. However, it was said that the ancestors of the Native Alezian people has ancestral connections to the people living on the Pacific Isles. However, there hasn't been an exact known location of where did the first group people that would be 1st generation Alezians came from. However, it can be speculated that since the language of Alezian has connection to Hawaiian, it can be speculated that there's a probability of Alezian ancestors coming from Hawai'i. However, there are other speculations saying that the first peoples came from somewhere in what would now become Indonesia instead.
It was speculated that it was a fishing boat from the Pacific who faced a terrible storm that founded the Isles as an Ancient Alezian story that ran mouth-to-mouth says so. The boat was said to contain a family of a man and his wife, and their four kids including one who was a baby. Legend says that the family ran from their previous homes due to an unknown reason, the largest speculation being due to rejection from their previous community. The name of all of the family members are still unknown to this day.
When the family reached land, the man shouted "Ali'icha'a'i" at the scene of an empty island, not yet touched by man. The family docked in the beach on what would become A'u'cha Dock in A'na'au'i, Bucinnois (Northern Main Island), Pantabang Islands. This is the reason why Native Alezians wanted to live in the Pantabang Islands.
According to the legend, when word spread about an island that accepts and welcomes people of all kinds, who are rejected because of the wrong reasons, people flock into the isles and build a community in the isles. After the settlement in the Pantabang Islands was found, people continue to find other lands to settle, where they found the other lands of North Alezia and South Alezia.
It was speculated that there are 1,175,000 native people spread around the Alezian Isles before 1427 AD.
Asian and Buginese Merchants Arrival (1427-1580 AD)
Around 1427 AD, the native Alezians started to receive outside contact from merchants who come from East Asia. However, there are minimal proof of their arrival in the Alezian Isles.
In 1526 AD, another ship had to face a terrible storm on their way to China, which forced them to dock in the Alezian Isles. It was a group of merchants coming from the Sultanate of Bone in what would now become South Sulawesi, Indonesia. When they arrived, the native Alezians welcomed them and let them stay in their own house until they're ready to go home.
It was storied that when the Buginese returned to their home in Bone and telling stories of how they were so impressed by the hospitality of the Alezians even if they don't understand what the Alezians are trying to say a lot of the times, the king of Bone which at the time was La Tenrisukki, Mappajunge ordered the Buginese Merchants at that time to return to Alezia and teach them how to trade and to help them build what would now become Oldport in Zafizamarrah, North Alezia.
In the present, the Alezian Union and the Regency of Bone in Indonesia remained in close contacts.
Muslim Merchants Arrival (1580-1700 AD)
Around 1580 AD, Muslim Merchants started to arrive in what would now become Oldport-Newport, ZF, NA to start trade with the Native Alezians. At that time, the Muslim world knew of the Alezians commodity of spices and fish. When they arrive from the Middle East after their stop in China, while also trading, Islam was also start being spread around the Isles. Ibn Hasma who was the leading merchant of the Muslims asked the joint chiefs of the native Alezians about if they can settle in the land as long as they promise to keep the peace around the isles.
The chief council agreed, and the Muslims established Zafizamarrah (coming from the Alezian word of Cha'i'cha'a'ma'pa) as its settlement. Around this time, the spread of Islam was succesfully initiated, using apporaches of Native Alezian art and culture to spread the word. The chiefs of Ka'upa'i, Na'a'pi, Dadon, and Salem converted to Islam and with the agreement of the chiefs of Ancic and Makarina who kept their beliefs, the Sultanate of Zafizamarrah was established in 1700 AD with the leader being A'una'i of Salem, who later changed her name to be Aminah Salem, and would become Aminah I.
Sultanate of Zafizamarrah (1700-1800 AD)
With Zafizamarrah as it's capital, the Sultanate of Zafizamarrah started to grow with an increasably noticeable power in trade. Around this time, there are noticeable increase in amounts of merchants coming from around the world, especially from the Middle East, China, and Europe. European interest increased due to news being spread about the high quality of Alezian spices, tea, and coffee.
While the Sultanate declared Arabic as their official language, the language of Alezian was preserved although it was rewritten so it could cater to the Arabic alphabet.
While the Sultanate implement Islamic laws from the start, the Merchants of Middle East recalled that the way the law was implemented in Zafizamarrah was very relaxed, for example, there are almost no women that covered up, except for those in Pyalivostok who had to due to the cold temperature.
In 1750, the Sultanate decided to carve the Sultanate into two regions in order to ease administration. It was divided by the center location of the Pantabang Islands, resulting in North and South Alezia. Historians speculated that this is the first time that an idea of "North and South Alezia" existed for the very first time. Both regions had different functions. South as the "protector" of the Sultanate and North as the "representative" of the Sultanate.
In 1753, a merchant by the name of Muhammad Na'ua'i Ancic was sent to the faraway lands of the Na'api tribe who was having a tribal civil war due to disagreements on how they shall rule their forests. The merchant mediated the conflict and while both decided to stay at the Sultanate of Zafizamarrah, with approval of the Palace and M.N. Ancic, the Na'ua'i decided to be divided into two to the Mosin tribe and Nagan tribe, creating a new land called Mosin and Nagan.
In 1773, with the death of Aminah III, the Sultanate started to decline, and European powers started to meddle into the Sultanate's affairs. And in 1779 the joint European powers of Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Russia jointly attacked the Sultanate from all sides, forcing the Sultanate to surrender and to sign the 1779 Treaty of Zafizamarrah which ended the Sultanate and carved the Alezian Isles into four parts.
