Kingdom of Malukshure

The Kingdom of Malukshure (マルクシュア王国) is a small, coastal, southern nation located on the border to Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion.

Background
Malukshure is a nation that arose from the communities that were formed by various mages who sought knowledge from the Magic Tower. The newly formed nation quickly made official ties with the Magic Tower as well as the Council of the West. The country quickly became one with an extremely high concentration of mages despite its relatively small size, only being beaten out by the magic superpower Sarion to its eastern border.

After the events of How to Spend a Certain Vacation and the ascension of Cyrus to the throne, Malukshure formed close diplomatic relations with Tempest. In addition to creating new exports of the nation’s fish, they were also commissioned to build a massive dreadnought-class ship made out of pure magisteel, with the intent of it one day being used to explore the oceans.

Economy
Malukshure was originally a mostly self-sustaining economy, with the wealthy nobles in the city receiving taxes from the various farming villages and towns in its surroundings. However, after the events of How to Spend a Certain Vacation, they created trade routes with Tempest that export their supply of uniquely small ocean fish.

Magic Tower
The Magic Tower, although technically not under the sovereignty of Malukshure, is nonetheless an extremely important location to the country and its history. The tower is the reason that the nation was originally formed, with it serving as an educational institution for both mages and scholars alike.

The Tower is owned and operated by the Trinity Wisemen, a sub-group of the Pupils of the Ancestor who once worked alongside Luminous Valentine but went their separate ways after various disagreements. They provide education and protection to the nearby Ocean City in exchange for the Magic Power and Calculation Power of its citizens being supplied on a monthly basis.

Ocean City
Ocean City (海洋都市) -formerly known as the City of Sages (賢人都市)- is the capital city of Malukshure. The city is located on the coast, in the immediate proximity of the Magic Tower.

The city is home to a dense population of wealthy noblemen and ambitious mages, with most individuals living there being capable of using some form of magic or another, even if only of the household variety.

The city is surrounded by a massive barrier constructed by the Trinity Wisemen. The barrier serves to protect the city from all forms of monster attacks while also collecting Magic Power for the various purposes of the Wisemen. The barrier also results in a rather low concentration of Magicules as a side effect, which resulted in the usually enormous local ocean fish only growing to a much smaller and much more manageable size.
