The Ryukyu Kingdom (Ryukyuan: 琉球國 Ruuchuu-kuku), more commonly known as the Ryukyus, is a Island nation located in Asia. It is encompasses the Ryukyu archipelago and is exclusive to the previously mentioned area.

Unified in 1429 by Sho Haishi it became a kingdom that would remain united since. It later fell under the political hegemony of the Japanese empire as a protectorate until it's loss in World War II. It later became a protectorate of the Kingdom of Sierra until 1973 when it gained full independence. However the Kingdom kept it's policy of Isolation until 1996 when it officialy opened it's borders. The kingdom has seen significant changes since, with more western traditions being slowly adopted by the natives of the Kingdom.

The Kingdom itself is vastly different from the rest of the world, with many stating "it as if, feudal japan was suddenly thrown into the modern world."
