It contains an AI/psientific laboratory with the Okinawa Jail overlaid on top of it. Its Monarch, Shuzo Ubukata helped study the EMMA application for Akira Konoe and used himself as a test subject, causing its denizens to become insane. When Konoe told him to hand over his Desires (in order to replicate a Calling Card), Ubukata committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. Having the improvised application in his hands, Konoe began to spread EMMA all over Japan.
==Trivia==
*Traditionally, Okinawans followed Ryukyuan religious beliefs, generally characterized by ancestor worship and respecting of the relationship between the dead, the living, the spirits and the gods. This ties to how the state was chosen as the start point for "Operation Oraculi" (summoning an artificial god) by Akira Konoe, sacrificing its Monarch and its remnants remaining insane as a result of their Desires not being returned upon the Monarch's death.
