Jura Tempest Federation

Rimuru is an eccentric and childish person by nature but this shouldn't be mistaken for immaturity and naivety. Underneath the surface, Rimuru is constantly analyzing, planning, and weighing the pros and cons of their actions, taking the smart move in the long term over more rash and emotional decisions.

Shion appears as a cool, professional beauty at first glance, but is actually very clumsy and simple-minded. Despite her calling herself Rimuru's first secretary, she has no actual secretarial skills and serves as no more than a bodyguard, leaving Shuna to assume the duties of her purported job in her stead.

Though Gobta considered a fool, he proves to be a very competent individual when the situation calls for it. His prowess on the battlefield surprises many. He is a natural airhead and an idiot but is a hidden genius.

Benimaru has a carefree personality, that of an excited and confident man. Even so, he is actually really cautious and cunning as well. He has no interest in serving anyone who he doesn't deem worthy, however, he doesn't belittle those weaker than him either.

Shuna is a gentle and forgiving girl with keen senses. Being raised as a princess, she also possesses a refined and graceful personality. Rimuru often relies on her regal disposition when it comes to diplomacy with leaders of other nations. Initially, during her introduction, Shuna appeared to be shy and fearful, staying behind Benimaru and Hakurou while they confronted Rimuru.

Milim, by nature, is a rather childish and outspoken individual. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and throws away any pretense of formalities. This, however, shouldn't be mistaken as her having the mind of a child. Those who can look past her childish demeanor will find a fierce, extremely intelligent woman who cannot be tricked or outsmarted even by the brightest minds. Despite this intellect, her tendency to be inconsiderate of other people and do whatever she wants often results in her overlooking the complexity and importance of a situation entirely, in favor of a more straight-forward approach.

Appearance: Jura-Tempest Federation ｢ジュラ・テンペスト連邦国, jura tenpesuto renpōkoku｣, commonly referred to as Tempest ｢魔国連邦テンペスト, tenpesuto, lit. "Monster Federation"｣, is the country founded and ruled by Rimuru Tempest in the Jura Forest. Initially founded near the Sealed Cave after abandoning an old goblin village, the nation started off as a new Goblin village built by dwarven craftsmen. This village then joined with the lizardmen, emancipated orcs (now High orcs), surrounding Goblins (now hobgoblins) as well as the dryads and treants to create The Jura Forest Alliance which, several months later, evolved into the Jura-Tempest Federation, kicking off the founding of the nation with a magical treaty with the Armed Nation of Dwargon. Beginning as a humble goblin village, Tempest expanded rapidly with more and more allies joining the nation, while facing increasingly powerful enemies. As of Volume 12, Tempest has already amassed a formidable military force in preparation against the Eastern Empire's invasion. Due to its geographically central location, sound military security, extensive infrastructure and road systems, Tempest is an economic hub where many nations trade or pass through while trading with other nations. As such, Rimuru City is home to a large variety of shops, species, cultures and infrastructure. Tempest's chief exports are mainly high-quality manufactured good. Namely, the nation is well known for its large quantity of potent healing potions. Other exported goods include alcohol in the form of Brandy, Wine and Whiskey; silk among other fine fabric clothing, and top-tier dwarven/ogre crafted weapons, armor, and accessories. Production of goods in Tempest is overseen by "Goblin Lord" Lilina. Among it's known imports are fruits from the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania which are used in the making of alcohol. While money from all over the world enters its borders, monster residents refuse to be paid with it (wanting to give everything to their leader or hoard it as a gift given to them by their lord which would stagnate the economy), causing the Demon Lord Rimuru to pass the payment and salary issue to Mjöllmile to solve. By law, the residents of Tempest are provided every basic necessity (water, food, housing, clothing, training, etc.) however there is also a law that Rimuru established saying "Those that don't work don't eat." People who refuse to work while living in Tempest will find themselves starving. As such any monster resident from Tempest doesn't have a need for money as simply by working they get anything they want. Since Rimuru still wanted to pay his citizens a solution was reached by Mjöllmile, Rigurd and Diablo. After many trials and errors, a system of Effort Points was established. This consists on the accumulation of points by each individual as they work, gaining more points by a good performance or less by a poor one. Expensive products such as gourmet food, magisteel armor/weapons, finer clothing, VIP services, etc. all cost Effort Points. Citizens still have free access to necessities, so the Effort Points are a good incentive to work harder to try the best their country has to offer.
