Shin's Territory
The sovereign domain where a slime ascended to become a true Demon Lord in the Human World.
The Tempest Federation, later known as the Jura Tempest Federation, refers to the domain established by Rimuru Tempest (formerly Satoru Mikami) within the Human World. Centered in the Jura Forest Region, this territory marks Rimuru's evolution from a wandering slime into a sovereign ruler capable of challenging the established order. While often associated with his later influence in the Demon Realm, his primary base remains firmly rooted in the human world, serving as the heart of his nation where he fosters unity among monsters and humans alike.

Lore & Background
Unlike the earlier days in the Jura Forest where survival was paramount, this phase marks the establishment of order and diplomacy within the Human World. The territory serves as a beacon for coexistence, fostering alliances that prevent catastrophic wars between humans, monsters, and eventually demons. It is here that Rimuru's unique philosophy begins to reshape the rigid structures of the world around him, proving that strength can be used for protection rather than domination.
In Their Own Story
The air in the capital shimmered with an oppressive weight, yet the figure standing before the assembled demon lords felt surprisingly light. 'Shin' adjusted his collar, a habit he had picked up from observing human nobles, though the name was merely a mask for the slime beneath. The Great Demon Lords watched him silently, their ancient eyes calculating threats that no longer existed. With a simple gesture, the tension dissolved; this land did not belong to conquest, but to understanding.

Its role in the story is pivotal, serving as the stage for high-level diplomatic negotiations and the resolution of conflicts between the Demon Realm and other factions.
