Prehistorical Era
Researchers note that the history of Robloxian life in Labublox as a whole dates back to 65,000 years. Many cave drawings exist in caves around the area, and the native Labubloxians there went through multiple different eras, such as the Stone Age and more. The native Labubloxians, which derive from many tribes, were the earliest followers of the religion created by the God 2x2 as well as Animism and Noobism. Spawn plates and seashells were the main trading material those days.
The first cave drawings in Labublox were found in 1997 by a group of archaeologists from Netherblox. They were found in the Gua Gulai cavern in the remote town of Alor Palawan, located in Labublox Tengah. The drawings date back to 40,540 years, and were drawn using stone tools and natural dye.
Ropta Imperial Influence Era and Subsequent Ro-Indian Imperial Semi-Colonisation
During the 4th to 5th centuries AD, the islands which now form Labublox were under the influence of the Ropta Empire, which was one of the predecessors of modern Ro-Indi. This brought Indian culture to the Labubloxian islands and gave birth to the Indian population of Labublox, which is particularly concentrated in the western region of the Labublox Island and Ro-Papan Island. This influence has gotten so much more prevalent in the later years of Labublox's history.
After the 5th century AD, different Ro-Indian empires influenced the territory, such as the Bloxavalla Empire and Bloxkatiya Empire. However, the Roysala Empire, the last Ro-Indian empire that ruled the territory formally withdrew from the territory in 1231. From then on, Labublox was independent until 1301. Speaking of..
Bloxjapahit Influence Era and Temporary Independence
In 1301 AD, the Bloxjapahit Empire took control of the territory of Labublox. This further justifies the joint Sino-Indian heritage of the country nowadays. The territory was directly ruled by the Maharaja of Bloxjapahit. However, in 1365 AD, the native Labubloxians staged a war against the Bloxjapahit rulers, hence the Bloxjapahit rule came to an abrupt end. For more than a century after that, the Labubloxian land was left uninvaded and independent of any foreign invader. It was left unscathed by the many other empires in New Luobu and Zargistan, as well as the Ro-Philippines, People's Republic of Slendernawa and many more.
Luobese Settlement Era
Then, more explorers and traders from many countries came to trade in New Luobu (including Robloxians from the country of Robloxia). Primarily the ancient Luobesetraded in Labublox due to its strategic location in the South Luobu Sea. This history of trade continued until 1511 AD, when the Luobese actually decided to establish a trading settlement in Bricktoria, thus colonising it entirely.
This settlement introduced Luobese culture to the Labubloxian islands. Hence why there are a lot of Luobese residents living in Labublox today. The Luobese negotiated a free trade deal with the Bumiputera tribal leaders in 1516 AD. During this time, the newly created ceramic spawn plates as well as tea plantations were the new trading material. The settlement remained until 1570, when the governor was bribed by the Sultan of Zargistan to cede the territory to Zargistan.
During this period, the Luobese Governor of South Lop Port (州長) ruled the settlement on behalf of the emperor.
Ottobloxian Occupation of Bloxraman Island and the Formation of the Sultanate of Suleybloxia
In 1547, the Ottoblox Empire invaded Bloxraman Island and took it from the Luobese following a fierce battle in what is now Bandar Ro-Tentera. The reason is that the Ottobloxians saw huge potential in exploiting natural resources in the island, particularly wood, to build their magnificent stuff. They somehow managed to reach Borneo due to naval expansions. Keep in mind that during this time, the Ottoblox Empire was ruled by Suleiblox the Magnificent.
For 11 years, the Ottobloxians administered Bloxraman Island as a beylerbelik(province) of the Ottoblox Empire. They called their colony 'Süleyblox Adası', or Suleybloxia in Western terms and translation purposes, even though that name directly translates to 'Suleyblox Island'. The capital city was named Borneo Şehri, meaning 'Borneo City'. However, this beylerbelik proved unpopular with the locals, as they rallied for independence, since the Vali of Suleybloxia, Mehmet Abbash Şakir, clearly wasn't comfortable with them, as he restricted their rights.
Due to the fierce backlash, Padishah Suleiblox deposed Mehmet Abbash Şakir and abolished the beylerbelik system. He instead established an Ottobloxian puppet state called the Sultanate of Suleybloxia, with a more lenient and conservative Sultan as the head of state. The state was given military support by the Ottoblox Empire. This state would then exist for more than three centuries.
The colonisers of the other Labubloxian islands have tried to invade Bloxraman Island to incorporate it as part of their Labubloxian colonial territory, however all attempts failed, as at the time, the Ottoblox Empire was very powerful. The locals in Bloxraman Island still faced persecution, as the puppet government only cared about the Ottobloxian immigrants, however the locals faced less severe persecution than what they faced during the beylerbelik era.
According to Ottobloxian statistic experts, 47.3% of all wood found in Bloxraman Island was exploited and stolen by the Ottoblox Empire to further expand their naval army by building more ships. By the 1800s, though, Ottobloxian exploitation of natural resources had been halted, and the puppet state still existed as a territorial expansion for the empire. The Ottobloxians' military presence grew weaker and weaker with each passing year in the 1800s.
Finally, in 1901, Bloxraman Island was legally ceded to the Bloxians, who incorporated the territory as part of the Crown Colony of Labublox. The Bloxian High Commissioner to Southeast Baoji, Sir Dominus Crownly, and the Sultan of Suleybloxia, Samad I, signed the Treaty of Borneo City.
Zargistani Colonisation Era
Meanwhile, in 1570, the Sultanate of Zargistan took control of the other islands, incorporating them as a territory of theirs. The Zargistanis introduced the Islamic religion to the country and were the first slave-holders in the country. The Sultan, on the other hand, was getting richer thanks to the valuable resources plundered from the territory. Small smirkishes with local tribe councils ensued up until the early 1600s, in which the Zargistanis won. This brought Islamic culture to the other Labubloxian islands for the first time, since Bloxraman Island has that culture thanks to the Ottobloxian invaders. Further details about this era remain obscure and undocumented.
Ro-Spanish Colonisation Era and Temporary BERC Occupation
Then, in 1665 AD, the Sultan of Zargistan ceded the territory to the Ro-Spanish Empire in exchange for exotic materials. The Ro-Spanish placed the former Zargistani territory under the control of a viceroyal system. Then later in 1710 AD, the colony gained an official name, the Virreinato de Nueva Filipinas. And so on, until independence, Labublox went under the name of New Ro-Philippines (in Ro-Spanish and Ro-Portuguese).
They named the capital Ciudad de Nueva Ro-Filipinas and they had some workmen in Labublox taken away to faraway lands to harvest other things, rather than harvesting palm oil and rubber like in Labublox, obviously. Additionally, there was rampant piracy, especially thanks to piracy in the Bloxaribbean. The Ro-Spanish created a law on piracy stating that execution is the main punishment for piracy in 1765 AD. The Ro-Spanish also brought diseases to the native Labubloxians, and a lot of people were terminated during the Ro-Spanish colonial era (1665-1778, 1781-1791). Researchers note that the main cause of native Labubloxian deaths were caused by diseases like malaria and smallpox.
On June 16, 1778, Nueva Ro-Filipinas was invaded and temporarily occupied by the Bloxian East Ro-Indi Company (BERC) due to the failure and demolition of the main administrative station in Bloxlambangan Island. The Sultan of Zargistan, Hafi Jamaluddin I, kept offering Nueva Ro-Filipinas's islands to the BERC to secure their support in defending North Borneo from the Bloxulu invaders. In Bloxcha-Bloxcha, the BERC made a failed attempt in establishing a new station. This cycle of build-and-fail would be repeated until somewhere in 1781, when the chairman of the BERC at the time, Sir Vermillion Dominus, agreed to establish a new station in Bloxlambangan Island again.
Ro-Portuguese Colonisation Era
In 1791, the Ro-Portuguese bought the territory from the Ro-Spanish, hence renaming the colony to Província de Novas Ro-Filipinas and changing the system to the status of a Ro-Portuguese province (like all other Ro-Portuguese colonies). The capital was changed to Cidade dos Anjos. They ruled the country until the end of The Ro-Portuguese forces were more evil than the Ro-Spanish and even the Ottobloxians, however. You'll see why.
The Novas Ro-Filipinas Massacre of 1811
On March 3, 1811, at 10:00 a.m., local Bumiputera tribe leaders took part in a march to the Gabinete do Governador-Geral da Província de Nova Ro-Filipinas which is located in the capital, Cidade dos Anjos (now known as Bloxtoria). They demanded tribal independence from the hands of the tyrannical Ro-Portuguese.
In response, the provincial governor-general at the time, João Bloxrraia Peléz, ordered his private army to stage an enormous massacre a month later. The soldiers committed war crimes so horrendous and repulsive that they aren't suitable to be mentioned in this article. An estimated 235,000 people were pronounced terminated, while 600,340 more were injured.
Because of this, a tribe leader, Bloxgana (who somehow survived the massacre), reported this to the International Criminal Court in Roblox in the year 1812. The court formally ruled Ro-Portugal to be rightfully not guilty because 'the rebels aren't fit to rule the country on their own'. However, after much pressure by ally states like Robloxia and former enemies like Ro-Spain, the court finally ruled that Governor-General Peléz was guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, much to the chagrin of the Ro-Portuguese. He was then executed two weeks later.
