Etymology
Vizhutua is named after the Vizhutu Empire, which itself is named after the Vizhutu ethnic group. "Vizhutu" is a corruption of the Tamil word Vedū (வேடுவன்) meaning to hunt, reflecting the hunter-gatherer life of the Ondalsan peoples. It originally referred to the inhabitants of the Ondalsan Archipelago as an ethnic slur, but it gradually became a endonym of the Vizhutu people.

Prehistory and Nutaderrami kingdoms (-5th century)
Vizhutua was inhabited by the indigenous starting around 63,000 BCE. The Jazalic expansion which originated from the Jazali Mountains in Cadasa went to Baratlamuri and then went southward towards the rest of Nesiondalsa. The Vizhutuan language is classified as a Kuliadeic language. From 498 BC to around 100 AD, the Tambal Empire existed. It was the first government in Vizhutua and even Nesiondalsa as a whole.

In 98 BCE, the Rangit Kingdom was formed after trade relations between the Rrangit people and the Nytans were established. Throughout the next few centuries, the Rangit and Tambal peoples adopted Gali Nutaderram, which had a major effect on the language and culture of those living in Vizhutua. Traces of Kubusa writing have been found as early as the 1dt century, and it is still used to write the Tambale and Rangitle languages. In 193 CE, the Rangit and Tambal kingdoms merged to form the United Kingdom of Rangitabal. However, Rangitambal was dissolved in 358 CE after ethnic tensions between the Tambal and Rangit were intensifying due to the Tambal establishing trade relations with the Nesionytan Empire, but the Rangit Empire brutally annexed the Tambal Kingdom after the Two Hundred Years' War ended in 499.

Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms (5th century-1622)
Throughout the 5th century, Buddhist missionaries converted the Vizhutu, Fusoncha, Pondunya, and Lenying people in the south, causing the Vizhutu, Lenying,and Hianghun kingdoms to branch out from the Rangit Empire. There were many conflicts between the four kingdoms, and after Islam spread throughout Vizhutua in the mid-11th century, the Islamic sultanates of Keimas, Oshuasil, and Brajasiya branched out of the Rangit Kingdom. In 1330, the sultanates of Bur and Nyidush were established.

After the Tambals were defeated by the rival Rangitians, many other monarchial entitles appeared. In the south, the Vizhutus and Lenyings appeared, while in the north there lived the Rangitians and Keimas. There were many wars between the nations.

Starting in 1163, Vizhutuan military leader and Buddhist Candavira defeated and conquered several other states in the area, namely the kingdom of Hianghun in 1163 and the Muslim sultanates of Oshuasil and Brajasiya in 1165 and 1167 respectively. Candavira declared himself emperor and the Vizhutuan Empire was formed in 1167 after the Kingdom of Hianghun was defeated and annexed. The state embarked on territorial expansion, and in 1268, Vizhutu began a campaign to expand its influence by conquering the kingdoms north of Vizhutua, after it failed to conquer Duhawa Kingdom in present-day Keimasia in 1258. The U'udiny Kingdom was conquered in 1268, Elidish in 1278, Ungeg in 1284, and Quylyadei in 1298.

The Vizhutu Empire also wanted to expand its influence southward. Raja Poonkuzhali attempted to counterbalance the Nutaderrami influence in the Kagrash Sphere by launching an invasion against Baratawle, Maha Achonkar, and the United Kingdom of Dajankagru in 1330. The invasion failed in 1331 due to the three kingdoms having much more superior armies than Vizhutu, so Poonkuzhali decided to invade the Hajor Kingdom and the Hokirai Kingdom in order to exploit the coconuts, phosphate, and iron. The kingdoms were defeated in 1332, but Vizhutuan rule was short-lived because the Hajor and Hokirai kingdoms successfully rebelled in 1333, so only a small portion of the natural resources were exploited.

In 1562, the Southern Tansai War started between the Lenyings and the Keimas. A total of 4 million people died, and the Sultanate of Keimas was exiled to the Duhawa Kingdom as the Emirate of Keimasia. Through the Keimaso-Duhawan War, the newly-established Keimasia was able to conquer all of Duhawa by 1568.

Vizhutu Empire (1622-1856)
In 1616, the Vizhutu Empire, which had grown into one of the largest and wealthiest empires in Nesiondalsa, decided to conquer all of Tambal Island, starting the Vizhutuan War of Unity. In 1619, the Vizhutus conquered the Lenyings, then the Rangitians in 1620, what was left of Tambal in 1621, and Nyidush and Bur in 1622.

In 1766, Baraltamuri, which was formerly part of the federation, was ceded to the Cahaya dynasty, after it was annexed through the Vizhutuo-Cahayan War.

From 1805 to 1806, there was a famine affecting Lenying, Fusoncha, and Ponduoy states. A total of 500,000-800,000 people died of starvation, and it started discontent towards the monarchy and emperor, who lived in luxury and opulence when most of his citizens were dying and poor.

In 1856, the states of Kuliadei, Ungeg, Elidish, Ququdin, Bur, and Nyidush were ceded to the British following the Battle of Oching of the Anglo-Vizhutuan War. There was so much outrage, that it caused the Lenying Revolution, a series of armed conflicts, protests, and riots that started in the city of Lenying. The revolution was a catalyst for changing the Vizhutuan government, which had become increasingly unpopular over the years. The government forces were weak and within a few months the revolutionaries had taken Visaha. Emperor Tathagatha I and the revolutionaries signed a truce and a new constitution came into force November 21, 1856. As a result, the monarchy became constitutional, the title of "emperor" became "king", and the office of prime minister was established.

Federation and reforms (1856-1944)
The 1856 elections were the first elections in Vizhutuan history. However, the system was corrupt and not free. There were many coup d'etats up until the reign of Kaushtubh, which started in 1901. He, along with elected prime minister Armand Parekh, introduced reforms that cut down corruption and introduced liberal democracy. The 1906 federal election was the first free and fair election in Vizhutua.

Although Vizhutua was neutral during World War I, it was not the same for World War II, as the Japanese cilent state of Cadasa and Dajankagru invaded Vizhutua in 1942, in order to partition Vizhutua into Cadasan and Dajankagrash territory. In 1943, the city of Tambal was ravaged by Cadasan and Dajankagrash bombing. Vizhutua subsquently joined the war under the Allies, attempting to regain its territory. The following two years were the bloodiest years in Vizhutuan history. As much as 5 million Vizhutuan soldiers sacrificed their lives while Cadasa and Dajankagru tried to invade the country.

Modern Vizhutua (1944-present)
In 1944, Cairo Raijar was elected prime minister. After the war, Raijar started to make Vizhutua developed, modeled after the US post-war boom. In 1946, Bur and Nyidush were returned to Vizhutua from Britain for their co-operation in the war. In the 1950s, the Vizhutuan population grew fivefold, and the capital city, Visaha, became a modern city with office buildings and skyscrapers.

In fact, Raijar was so popular that he died in office in 1972. His son Rafiq Raijar became prime minister from 1973 to 1986, and Rafiq's son Bhaswar was prime minister from 1986 to 2000, until Bhaswar's ties to the Tsanakarunese criminal group Kheng Tin were exposed.

On December 26, 2004, along with the rest of Nesiondalsa except for Toalugi, most of Isandarual, and Ulakisonia, Vizhutua suffered from major casualties and damage by the. However, Vizhutua's economy continued to prosper at the same rate because it was not heavily reliant on fishing and tourism, as fishing was prohibited and tourism didn't constitute a large portion of the economy.
