Etymology
Pentala's name originates from the deity Pental, of an ancient religion of the Pentalian Tajiks. The name was chosen for representing the peoples history as a whole.

Pentalian Mythology
The universe was created by a deity called Pental. He had 5 split personalities that each controlled a portion of the universe. The portions were Space, Time, Balance, Nature, and Power. Power later killed himself to kill the other 4 personalities, and the universe was released from its creator. This means that the universe is free to do whatever it wants, and no one is controlling it from helping, or killing, all of humans. Pental was still worshiped by the Pentalians until the Pentalian Communist Party took control in year 46 BSC. Some Pentalians may worship Pental in secret.

Early Pentala
Pentala was full of many tribes, and after many wars the Kazakh regions in the south however formed a small kingdom called the Kingdom of Sagin. It was conquered by a small tribe from Qirmi Island called the Jatkor. The Jatkor then tried to attack the mountains tribes of the north, and failed. At that point the conquered people of Sagin had enough of Jatkor and rebelled, creating the Republic of Canu in 1091 BSC.

Teralian Simol
The Tajik tribes north of the mountains kept fighting in tribes for much longer. They only finally united once a empire from the East invaded the region. This empire was the Teralian Empire. Teralia mistook one of the first tribes they invaded, Simol, as the name of the whole region. Teralia named their new land Simol due to their confusion. The Tajiks in Simol, once the Teralians were in a weak position, armed and rebelled. They gained their independence and formed the Pentalian Empire.

Pentalian Empire
The Pentalian Empire started after Teralia was weakened by other kingdoms to the east. in 1013 BSC Namvar the Conqueror took power as the ruler of the Pentalian Empire. The Pentalian Empire went on to fully conquer Teralia in 1011 BSC. Afterward the Pentalians invaded the mountains and took them for their own. The Pentalians then forced the Teralians into the mountains, later becoming the Russian population that still lives there presently.

The Pentalian Empire then moved west and captured the vast empty grasslands in 1001 BSC. They then pushed south and fought the Republic of Canu. The Pentalian Empire won and annexed the whole region in 997 BSC, at the height of their power.

In 989 BSC, Namvar the Conqueror died of a unknown reason. With his death came the death of the empire. The old Teralian lands were taken in 981 BSC by a eastern kingdom. The western region became to hard to settle after a natural disaster occurred in the region, and was abandoned in 952 BSC. The Pentalian Empire was able to keep the Republic of Canu's lands, which is controlled by Pentala.

Pentalian Republic
Pentala stayed a kingdom until 174 BSC when a large peasant rebellion occurred and a constitutional monarchy was put in place. This constitutional monarchy lasted for 2 years before a radical political party took control. This party, the Devona Party, demanded the king to abdicate by death. They one with 1 vote, and the king was killed by a getting ripped apart by two horses.

After this the Moderates protested this decision heavily, and the Devona Party killed them. This lead to a great civil war, which the moderates won. After the war the Pentalian Republic was proclaimed.

Modern Pentala
In 50 BSC, the Democratic Socialist Acclamation was released. This document inspired the masses to take up arms against the government. This sparked a bloody civil war which saw the Communist succeed in 46 BSC. Since the civil war there have been 4 rulers of Pentala, with the current one being Darab Arashev.
