The Grand Kingdom of Leiden (Nihongo: ライデン大王国, Leidish: Großes Königreich Leiden) is a satellite state of the Organization of Shinkei. It holds an important role in securing the Organization's control over Jūmin-ryōiki Island.
The Kingdom was established by a group of humans under King Albert Bartolomeu. The Kingdom ruled for a relatively long time with little conflicts with its neighbors despite having abundant rivers and fertile plains. The Kingdom fell into a short civil war when three princes of the House of Bartolomeu fought over control until a treaty was signed.
The Kingdom was the first official sovereign state to interact with Organization in its early stages, establishing bilateral relations and trades. In 1539, King Vaz Bartolomeu was forced to guarantee a little land in the small fishing village of "Masaqui" to the Nihonjin after being unable to repay for weapons and inventions that the Kingdom had bought. Shortly after, the Kingdom of Leiden fell into debt and became a puppet state for the Nihonjin following the Treaty of Masaqui.
The Kingdom was on the winning side of the Nihonjin forces during the War of The Thousand Flowers, participating by sending forces and occupying nearby territories. By the end of the war, the Kingdom grew in size and the Organization promoted Leiden into a Grand Kingdom, a title of which it still holds to this day.
Leiden is the most important country on Jūmin-ryōiki Island, holding the largest city and economic capital of the Island, Vonderburg, as well as the largest amount of riches. The Grand Kingdom also holds many of the Island's important institutions such as the Adventures and Guild Organization, Interrace Cooperation Association, Magic Research Institute, etc...
