Liukue

Liukue is a fictional island nation commonly used in worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It sits in the southeastern arc of the imagined continent of Aralos and comprises a chain of volcanic islands surrounded by coral reefs. The terrain includes coastal plains, tropical forests, and a central highland range. The climate is maritime tropical, with a pronounced wet season and relatively mild temperatures year-round.

Liukuean is the de facto official language; it is spoken by the majority of residents, while several regional languages and pidgins are used in trade and education. The population is ethnically diverse, with indigenous Liuke communities making up a plurality alongside settlers and migrant workers.

Liukue operates as a constitutional republic. The president serves as head of state and government, while a unicameral National Assembly passes legislation. The judiciary is independent, with a system of customary law intersecting with national statutes in coastal districts.

Economy centers on sustainable fishing, agroforestry, and growing ecotourism. Key industries include fish processing, spice and cacao cultivation, and handicrafts. The nation pursues conservation programs in its marine protected areas and maintains a small but active offshore financial sector.

Historically, Liukue traces settlement to ancient coastal communities, later experiencing contact with seafaring traders. It achieved independence in the fictional year 1975 after negotiations with a former imperial power and has since participated in regional trade agreements.
