Tsuruki
Tsuruki was a city existing in Japan in the Fourth Period. It was the setting of what would later be known as the Meta Escape Incident.

Early History
Tsuruki existed as far back as the Meiji period. In 1874, all locks in the city stopped working as a result of the woman Kameko using the black box in Mekage Shrine; this event was recorded in Tsuruki's folklore.

Meta Escape Incident
At some point, members of Evillious.net moved into the city and lived there under false names. During modern times, another unlocking incident occurred, later dubbed the Meta Escape Incident. With the black bear Meta being given the powers of the Master of Evillious.net's game on Tanabata, an invisible barrier went up around the city's borders and its junior high school and all locks once again stopped working. Before the week ended, the bear's powers were countered by the student Takahagi Otoha and the incident came to an end.

Twenty years after, another incident occurred at one of the schools in the city, with the student Hadzuki Mana using her contract with the wraith Deus to brainwash all the male students. Following the incident, all the affected boys lost their memories.

Tsuruki Junior High
A junior high school within the city. During the Meta Escape Incident, an additional barrier also went up across the school, leaving the students trapped while the bear Meta rampaged inside.

Mekage Shrine
A Shinto shrine in the outskirts of the city. Existing during the Meiji Restoration, it was presumably owned by the Mekage priest family. It contained a black box that, when used, granted certain individuals the power to put up invisible barriers and stop locks from working.

Toy Shop Père Noël
A toy shop existing within the city, formerly known as the Koumori Toy Shop and presumably owned by the Koumori family. Existing near one of the city's schools, it later disappeared completely for unknown reasons.

Magic Kingdom Levianta
Magic Kingdom Levianta was a state in the Bolganio continent's Evillious region. Dominating as the world power during the early days of the Third Period, it became a hub for magic and its users.

Early History
Early in the Third Period, many humans began gathering in the north of Evillious, eventually settling as the country of Levianta. Excavating numerous super technologies buried beneath them, the new Magic Kingdom prospered. Eventually, the nation excavated the white ark Sin. With a handful of humans hearing the voices of the twin gods Levia-Behemo trapped inside the relic, the Leviantans sealed the device in a temple. Worshiping the deities through their prophets, they created the Levin faith.

Over time, with numerous magic families flocking to the new nation, the kingdom became among the most magically and technologically advanced nation in Evillious, rivaling the great Tasan Empire. After the nation of Heldogort broke off from the kingdom, worshiping the dragon god Held in its pantheon, the Magic Kingdom Levianta severely repressed its neighboring country.

Project 'Ma'
Around BT 005, Queen Alice Merry-Go-Round prophesied that Sin would lead to the country's destruction and that the twin gods must be incarnated as humans to purify the ark and prevent their end. The Leviantan Senate then established Project 'Ma' to artificially produce the twin gods' human incarnations. Following numerous applications, Eve Zvezda was selected for the project.

After the subject failed to produce living twins and fled with the project director, Adam Moonlit, Seth Twiright took over the second project and selected Meta Salmhofer as the test subject. Following the successful births of Hänsel and Gretel, Prophet Merry-Go-Round established the Evillious Calendar in commemoration and the kingdom celebrated; Meta fled with the twins soon after, making the project a failure.

In the following years, new projects were established and either failed or were suspended. In EC 013, the Senate selected Irina Clockworker for the seventh project and was celebrated as the new Queen. Around six months later, Kiril Clockworker activated the ark Sin and the device went out of control, causing an explosion. Afterward, the freed dragon Levia-Behemo rampaged through the skies, reducing the Magic Kingdom Levianta into a ruined wasteland.

Power Structure
The Magic Kingdom was a constitutional monarchy, with the ruler of the government restrained by that of the Senate. The ruler also acted as the religious leader in the country. With the Senate's consensus, the ruler could be removed from power and replaced, with the senators managing the nation's day-to-day affairs. The Senate was also capable of sanctioning research projects when needed, with many researchers involved in the study of magic and medicine.

Military
The magic kingdom had a capable military, presumably overseen by the Senate. Among its duties were capturing criminals; it was powerful enough to kill even the likes of Apocalypse member Raisa Netsuma.

Economy
Due to its heavy reliance on magical technology, scientists, engineers and artisans were a necessary trade in the Magic Kingdom. Among the latter, clockworkers were especially popular for creating and repairing the local magic tools.

Society and Culture
The Magic Kingdom Levianta was built upon its great magical and technological prowess, developed from having the vast majority of magic-aligned clans under its banner. Because of this, magic held a great importance in their society, with individuals given ranks based on their magical abilities. In a similar manner, only those with certain magical power were eligible for some positions in the government or its projects.

This magical elitism extended so far as to tear apart families and close friends over proving who was stronger. The nation also had a noble class with aristocrats having a great influence in the political affairs of the Magic Kingdom, particularly because of their affluence.

Racially, Leviantans were a diverse people, with many different characteristics found among them. Despite this, the vast population of mages were regarded as being extremely beautiful even a century after the original kingdom fell. After Levianta's destruction, several Leviantans survived although it is unknown whether or not they died out in the following centuries.

Founded around Sin, the precepts and ideas of Levin were deeply rooted in Leviantan culture, with the twin gods, Levia-Behemo considered the absolute twin deities in their faith. This religious zeal led to the intense persecution of followers of Held in Heldogort and the dragon god being labeled as an evil deity.

Similarly, fear of those with Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome led to a desire for their complete eradication. Due to the invention of the television, media reporters spread news quickly to viewers across the Magic Kingdom and kept them updated on important political or societal affairs within the country. Like with most technology and culture, the moving picture device was lost with the kingdom's destruction.

Geography and Climate
Levianta was a northern region of Evillious, located directly above Lucifenia and Asmodean. Originally, the Magic Kingdom consisted of flora and fauna but, following the Levianta Catastrophe, became a barren wasteland and was inhospitable. The climate was also much cooler and would snow during cold weather. Compounding this, the nation experienced long winters and short summers.

Royal Institute
The primary research laboratory of the Magic Kingdom. The institution was used for scientific and magical study as well as the location for government projects. It was destroyed in the Levianta Catastrophe.

Levia-Behemo Temple
The place of worship for Levia-Behemo. It was located in the northwest part of Levianta, near Alicegrad. The ark Sin was sealed inside the temple. Due to the danger of Sin, those suspected of malicious intent were banned from the temple. The temple was run by a religious order and members were expected to follow a strict conduct. It was destroyed in the Levianta Catastrophe, though its ruins continued to exist even in the 10th century EC. It later became a pilgrimage site for devout Levin believers and tourists.

Lighwatch

Holy Levianta
Holy Levianta, also known more simply as Levianta, was a state in the Bolganio continent's Evillious region. Functioning as the spiritual headquarters for the Levin Church, it later became part of the Union State of Evillious.

Early History
In EC 301, the land that the Magic Kingdom once occupied was resettled, with a national construction aimed at rebuilding the once great kingdom. Called "Holy Levianta", the new nation became the center of the Levin Church and acted as the faith's headquarters. At some point, the nation made an alliance with the neighboring Kingdom of Elphegort. After the Kingdom of Lucifenia invaded Elphegort in EC 500, Levianta requested the Yellow Country stand down. Ignored, the religious capital remained uninvolved in the conflict.

In EC 508, conflict between factions within the church led to numerous terrorist strikes by Neo Apocalypse. As the group attempted to bring about the fall of the church, the nation petitioned other countries to assist in their efforts to suppress the terrorists. Lucifenia sent them a single unit and the attacks were quelled later that year. Afterward, the Levin Church's influence with its followers began to gradually decrease.

After some negotiation with the Freezis Foundation, the Evillious nations all agreed to the establishment of the World Police organization in EC 573. In September, EC 609, Levianta imported 90% of the Freezis Fishery Association's abundant ziz tiama catch. Throughout the 9th century EC, Holy Levianta began working with other national governments to create an organized union.

Union State of Evillious
Following the Aishikeru Treaty, Levianta joined Marlon, Lucifenia and Elphegort as part of the Union State of Evillious in EC 878. At some point, a zombie epidemic broke out across Evillious, affecting Levianta. In January of EC 982, Levianta sought an alliance with Elphegort to check on Lucifenia; the USE later consented to the alliance. After Asmodean declared war on Lucifenia, Levianta accepted Lucifenia's request for help and declared war on Asmodean. Later that year, Beelzenia declared war on Levianta among other countries.

The following year in EC 983, General Tony Ausdin massacred the village of Zenosai in the Samadin region. After the man was exonerated by Judge Gallerian Marlon, revolts broke out in Alicegrad before spreading across Levianta. After Elphegort invaded Lucifenia in EC 993 and was expelled from the USE, Levianta declared war on the nation. With Marlon's cooperation, Holy Levianta launched a two-pronged siege on Elphegort. In EC 998, the USE army succeeded in liberating Lucifenia.

World's End
In EC 999, Levianta was completely decimated by Punishment. Following the end of the Third Period, the destruction site merged with the Hellish Yard along with the rest of the ground world.

Military
The Leviantan military was at some point weak and corrupt, unwilling to move troops into foreign territory except in self-defense, and susceptible to bribery.

Economy
Following the founding of Holy Levianta, tourism to the local temples became popular. Due to its use as a cooking ingredient, the nation also imported a large amount of ziz tiama over the centuries.

Society and Culture
As the headquarters of the Levin Church, Holy Levianta was heavily influenced by the religion. The country also contained remnants of the Magic Kingdom's culture, such as the use of ziz tiama, albeit as a food rather than as a magic tool.

Following the establishment of the USE and the founding of Levin University, Levianta's cultural exchange increased with the inflow of foreign students. Automobiles were also invented in the nation during the EC 860s.

Geography and Climate
Levianta was a northern region of Evillious, located directly above Lucifenia and Asmodean. The climate was much cooler and would snow during cold weather. Compounding this, the nation experienced long winters and short summers. In the wake of the Magic Kingdom's destruction, much of their ruins remained, stretching as far as Asmodean. Eventually, the area became hospitable again and it was made possible to resettle.
