Although inhabited since the Paleolithic Era, what is now Porlos was molded by a mix of [[Cartadania|Cartadanian]] and [[Tierrador|Qabór-Tierric]] civilization, due to the colonization from both empires. It began with the conquering of the Betlands region, which at the time would be referred to as the [[Soqweux]], named after the [[Soqweux people]], by [[Tierrador#Qabóri Woqalate|Imperial Qabór]]. There, for close to 700 years, the Qabóri settlers established several colonies and ports, which were typically limited to just coastal settlements and trading posts, as the areas being as far as they were from the Qabóri proper area were heavily neglected by the central government of the Woqalate. In 1351, modern-day Porlos and the surrounding areas were granted independence as the [[Woqalate of Soqweux]]. Relations between Qabór and the Soqweux would remain tightly-knit, as most economic, social and political influences would still be brought upon from the Woqalate. Eventually, following [[Aster's expedition]] and the colonization of present-day [[Asteria]] by [[Faneria]], settlers from Cartadania arrived and established several colonies and posts of their own, starting in the 16th century as the West Bay Colony. In the 19th century, Cognatian settlers slowly and hesitantly began to establish themselves in the interior. The Cartadanian colony that became Porlos did not have its present borders until the early 20th century due to resistance by native groups and Tierrador. The Cartadanian settlements were very unstable, due to outsider influence from various indigenous nations led by Tierrador, and in 1938, following a brutal year-long conflict, Porlos was granted its independence from Cartadania. Eventually, the Porlosi Woqalate would be restored, as it stands today.

Despite the devastation of the Porlosi economy following the withdrawal of all Cartadanian economic activites, it would not last for long. In 1940, the newly-founded government of Porlos would eventually be reorganized, with the assistance of the Walakee State under High Woqala [[Satola Sanléc]]. The same government structure that was seen under the Woqalate of Soqweux would be restored as the Woqalate of Porlos, establishing [[Sonta I]] as the first [[Woqala of Porlos]] since 1712. As the return took place, most colonial aspects from Cartadania would slowly be scrapped and replaced with indigenous Cronan influences. This included demoting Cartadanian as an official language and replacing it with Soqweux. Along with the many cultural changes, the Porlosi government also allowed many Tierradorian companies and organization to open subsidiaries within the nation. [[Auqali Lithium]], one of the largest mineral extraction companies in the world, began operations in the country in 1951, boosting the nation's economy by a significant margin.

The [[Porlosi Defense Forces]] are constitutionally subordinate to both the Prime Minister, via the Porlosi Defense Office, and the Assembly of the Woqalate, via the various Defense Committees. As of 2034, there are 96,000 personnel serving in the [[Porlosi Army]], 31,000 in the [[Porlosi Navy]], and 28,000 in the [[Porlosi Air Force]]. The PDF is organized on the essential principle of legitimate Porlosi self-defense: the repelling of any external military aggression in order to guarantee freedom of the Porlosi people, national sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Its secondary missions include committing to multinational operations within the framework of the [[League of Nations]], participating in internal support missions, assisting allied nations, and establishing a sub-regional defense system. Military service is voluntary, with enlistment age between 18 and 24 years old and no conscription. Decades of Tierradorian military influence and support allowed for the PDF to evolve into what it is today, with the PDF being considered as one of the best equipped in South Crona. The PDF manages its own weapon research facilities, shipyards, ordnance, tank and plane factories, mostly using resources imported from Tierrador and [[Alstin]]. Following the end of [[The Deluge]], real military expenditures declined steadily and the defense budget in 2026 was only about 0.56% of GDP, a historical minimum, below the Cronan average. Within the defense budget itself, funding for training and even basic maintenance has been significantly cut, a factor contributing to the accidental loss of the Porlosi submarine Kuaahalisa in 2029.
