However, until recently, they have kept to themselves, keeping them and their technology closed to the world. It has only been on the world stage for a few centuries but has already adapted quite well. [i]Emperor Shitastu Amaburi:[/i] A shy young but well-learned ruler who puts great effort into trying to improve his realm. However, he is also fairly socially awkward, staying in his palace and study much of the time and does not make public appearance. Despite this, people who know him clain that he is both talkative on some subjects and a legendary swordsman. [b]Geography:[/b] The Ryukyuan Empire is costal empire that stretches into great forests and has mountain in its western most parts. There are man-made floodplains due to cutting down the forests in that area. A network of both natural and man-made waterways carves up the land but also provides plenty of spaces for cities and villiages. The mountains are peppered with small villiages and camps while the interior is home to towns and larger villiages. The largest cities are on the bay. The three major cities are in their own little terrain. The Capital city of Ritang is cultural and technological capital of the Empire and located on the Northern Hime Coastline and stretches out into the Northern Hime Sea. Talsong is the Empire’s manufactory; it sprawls over the great forests and plains of the interior with a network of canals and natural rivers cutting in and around. Inshingu Castle is the military hub of the entire nation and is located in the snowy mountains. While just a large castle, the sheer number of nearby villages and encampments makes it able to call itself a city. A realm of ever advancing technology and proud people, the Ryukyuan Empire has just started its role on the world stage. Wishing to control and empire under the sun, the Ryukyuan Empire will one day rule the first global empire.
