Louria Kingdom

The **Louria Kingdom** (ロウリア王国, *Rouria Ōkoku*) was a human-only country that controlled the western half of the Rodenius Continent. Under the rule of king Hark Louria the 34th, Louria embraced ideologies such as racism, human suprematism and expansionism, aimed at the hegemony of the human race over the demi-Humans in the continent.

The Louria Kingdom was the instigator of the Rodenius War in 1639 CC and would likely have successfully conquered both the Qua-Toyne Principality and the Quila Kingdom, unified the Rodenius continent under its rule and committed a demi-human genocide if only Japan had not meddled in the dispute and initiated a counter-invasion which culminated in the pacification of Jin- Hark and the arrest of King Hark. With the disappearance of the king, the kingdom quickly collapsed into a civil war that led to the partitioning of the territories into four pro-Japan successor states.

According to the method of geopolitical and technological categorization employed by the international community of the New World, the Louria Kingdom was classified as a country outside the civilization area, which means that it was located in that peripheral region of the planet that contains all the nations with the most primitive level of science and technology and weakest military.

The Louria Kingdom is the first hostile nation that Japan is forced to face in war since its magical transference to the New World.

## History

The Louria Kingdom was advocating human supremacy and so, only pure humans were allowed to live there. Elves, dwarves, beastkin, those who were called demi-humans were persecuted as hideous creatures.

Hark Louria XXXIV had spent over six years building up support and accepting humiliating demands from the Parpaldia Empire in order to feign obedience, but he was finally able to assemble and train a polished, unyielding army capable of uniting the entire continent of Rodenius. The country invested nearly all of it possessions and national power, putting the entire country in debt for decades, to create the legion to conquer Rodenius Continent.

However, all these efforts came to naught after invading the Qua-Toyne Principality and threatening the surrounding territories. Once Japan became involved, the Lourian military was crushed in a lopsided conflict, and the king was arrested. Currently, the Louria Kingdom has been separated into 4 independent states after a brief civil war between Louria's vassal lords and are now recovering by embracing Japanese imports and businesses.

Great Naval Battle of Rodenius

Liberation of Gim

### New World War Arc

Louria Kingdom were later used by Japan as a starting point for air strikes against the 1st and 2nd Advanced Fleet of Gra-Valkas Empire.

## Military

Louria Kingdom had the largest military power in the Rodenius Continent. After years of buildup, it had over 600,000 personnel for ground, aerial, and naval warfare. Like most other military forces in the Outside Civilization Area, it was composed of medieval-level infantry, wooden sailing ships, primitive projectile weapons, swords, shields, bows and siege weaponry. Mages provided combat support. They did possess a wyvern air force, but nearly all were destroyed during the war with Japan.

It is mentioned that individually, each Lourian soldier or sailor is subpar compared to those of neighboring kingdoms, but the country's population of millions means it can field a numerical advantage to counter this. Louria also absorbed many former brigands and pirates into its ranks as it spread across the continent, with the 15th Cavalry being an infamous example.

Due to the feudal nature of Louria though, military cohesion and chain of command can be difficult to maintain. Despite having 500,000 troops in theory, the King was unable to convince the many lords in the country to actually bring them to the field, as they simply ignored the order.

After the war, Admiral Sharkun, who'd been captured by Japan during the Rodenius War, would help rebuild Louria's Navy to one of wide renown after studying in their former enemy.

## Politics

The Louria Kingdom was a feudal monarchy. The Louria’s Kingdom’s supreme council, King’s Royal Council, was a gathering of the topmost people who controlled the fate of the country. After the failed attempt to unite the Rodenius Continent and the removal of the king, the nation is currently a republic and roughly 60% of its territory has seceded into three separate nations.

## Economy

Before the war, Louria was considered the most powerful state in Rodenius. That can imply a much more developed economy than other countries; there is no specific description, although Beadsure has been mentioned as the largest craft city in Louria.

After the war, with a non-aggression pact signed with the of Qua-Toyne Principality and the Quila Kingdom, diplomatic relations normalized and the Louria Kingdom began to prosper as a hub connecting Japan, the Central World, and the Third Civilization Area. Their port facilities has developed to a level incomparable to before by Japan; they also took advantage of the characteristics of their continental reach and used the immense amount of land at their disposal to construct humongous storage facilities that take in all sorts of goods, home appliances, cars, and others. These national policies further stress their effectiveness as a hub.

## Foreign Relations

### Parpaldia Empire

For six years, the Louria Kingdom had been receiving military aid from the Parpaldian Empire and had to remain subservient to them, amassing a huge amount of national debt. It was under the assumption that would be uniting the Rodenius continent and cleansing it of demi-humans.

### Qua-Toyne Principality

Louria had a hatred of demi-human or non-human races and sought not only to take the fertile lands, but to cleanse it of all demi-humans.

### Quila Kingdom

Since majority of the population of Quila are Beast People, Louria also hatred of them. However, they are not invaded immediately since they have an infamous Beast Mountain Squad that is know for their strength.

### Japan

Louria had complete ignorance toward Japan and thought it to be a barbaric nation outside of the civilized areas. After being totally crushed by the JSDF, the four independent states of the former Lourian Kingdom has established diplomatic and economic relations with Japan.

## Notes

Before it fractured into 4 different nations, Louria's population was stated to be around 38 million.
