-Ryukyu: The citizens of the State are sympathetic to Ryukyu, it is familiar, like it was before the State came to be: A supreme leader heading a militaristic and socialist state with control over the heavy industry to sustain war but little else. While the State acts cordially it still prefers to limit interaction from their people with those, by fear of reawakening old ideas within the population.

Objection, Ryukyu isn't meant to be militaristic. They have recent military reforms but military isn't their national focus. Even just looking at their ships, they only have one real warship, everything else is either multi-use for both military and civilian use or just converted. I choose gauss-based weapons since it would make the most sense in regards to mining.

I don't plan to use them as an offensive attack force, most likely they'd be part of some relief effort of a war zone which even in that case, they would be more back line recovery units. The only way I actually see Ryukyu attacking other players is if they get called into war via alliances. Their industry is to produce and develop, not to sustain a war.
