The State of Ryokara or simply Ryokara is a Constitutional Republic located in Mahaborei. The country is one of the wealthiest in Ophion, with an impressive natural gas, industrial, agricultural, and raw materials base. Its capital Konkawa is seen as one of the largest financial hubs in the Japonic speaking world.

Ryokara is divided into 16 provinces, and 4 economic regions. It's largest cities include Konkawa, Mayomori, and Hamata. The capital and largest city, Konkawa has over 6 million people, and is seen as one of the most dynamic in Ophion. Ryokara sees a shallow divide between wealthy cities and a middle-class countryside, and "Japanese flight" has caused the decimation of many inner cities.

Ryokara's government system is a monarchy, aiming for the "harmonious cooperation" of diverse interest groups. While the country has a Parliament, suffrage is restricted to those who have graduated from the school system The monarchy has limited powers, limited by the Treaty of Monarchical Powers, which gives most power to Ryokara's Legislature. The nation has two major political parties, the Ryokara Party, and the Association of Workers. The Association of Workers is commonly seen to endorse more socially democratic positions, whereas the Ryokara Party is more pro-capitalist and conservative. Ryokara's government system is often seen as orientated towards Ryokara's wealthy and elite. Regardless, it it has provided stability, rule of law, and a framework for much of Ryokara's natural gas sector to thrive.
