Prehistory
Before of the colonization of Raland, there was four kingdoms, Kliphocyra, Vhillurok, Hirhuwu and Ruvim. The first kingdom, Kliphocyra, was established in around the 13th century.

Colonial era
During the Conquest of the Arito Islands, the British bought islands Erep and Urdu from New Japan in 1866 and, between 1868 and 1871, invaded all four kingdoms, along with the neighbouring kingdoms of Kapura, Haalis, Trayu and Engotu.

Following the conquest, Raland annexed Kliphocyra, Vhillurok, Ruvim and Hirhuwu and Britan mostly unified the neighbouring Kapura with Haalis, Trayu and Engotu while forming the new seperate colony in south western Kapura called “Kipariki”. While Kapura remained a colony, Raland was made into a autonomous territory of the UK, complete with its own government. Raland later annexed Kipariki, a seperate British colony under the United Kingdom’s authorisation in 1872. In 1886, Raland moved its capital from Huvich to Kirato.

20th Century era
In 1947, Raland adopted the Statute of Westminster, making Raland independent from United Kingdom. It wasn’t until 1990, when the Raland Act was signed, meaning the British government wouldn’t be involved with the Ralander government.

In the late-1960s, an economic miracle began, and during the Vlokist period of the 1970s and 1980s, Raland had the largest economy of any of the non-Vlokist nations of the El Kadsreian Islands. With the international success of RAMI, Lind & Co. and Manly, Raland also gained the fourth-largest automotive industry in the world.

In 1973, a devastating earthquake struck Villamonte. It is arguable that the economic miracle Raland was undergoing helped the country recover quick from the disaster.

Modern era
On January 24, 2017, Keala Giffard was sworn in as Prime Minister at age 39, becoming the youngest Prime Minister to date.

Culture
Raland is known to have a biggest population of Sentanese people outside Sentan, as the majority of them fled to the country to seek refuge following the end of the Eight-Day War. Raland is currently the seat of the House of Asuka, as Emperor Shori's children Fuyuko, Sakichi and Shunta fled to Raland under fake names shortly before the rest of the House of the time were executed. Raland also has the largest population of Arab people in the El Kadsreian Islands, which originates from the mid-1960s when the first Arab emigrants to Raland, a group of Jordanians, arrived in Kirato to work for RAMI in Ramitown.
