Kijima is an insular settlement in the south of the Sabishi Archipelago, dominated by its main island from which it derives its name. It is closely associated with Florina.

In December of 2012 MystiaLorelei had returned from her long exile, wanting to join the server once again and help the small Japanese settlement of Florina. Though once she reached Florina she found it half empty with just one man called Walrus building around. Dissapointed of the small settlement she searched for a small island to make her new home. It was then that she discovered a small archipelago with a cozy jungle isle. Delighted with the discovery, she quickly claimed it for herself, crashing her boat on a beach cristened Shipbreak Point. Once on the island she discovered it was thickly forested with an inpenetrable jungle, and thus she named the island “Kijima”, Japanese for “Tree Island”. In the days that followed a lighthouse was quickly built to alert any would-be explorers to keep clear of the Isle's dangerous coast. The settlement of Kijima was born.

A few weeks after the construction of the lighthouse, around the middle of January of 2013, MystiaLorelei had returned from building in the city of Voelhaven to dedicate herself fully to Kijima. Her first task was to start building a great Torii Gate, a symbol of the island's native faith, Shintoism. When this task was finished, and the island properly consecrated into the Shinto Faith, she turned her attentions into building her Emperial Palace in the north shore of the island. Due to help from the mod Enton, and the discovery of an ancient long lost GAM treasure in a far away land, the Palace was built in just one night, a true miracle. With the Palace built and the island consacrated, the Empire of Kijima was properly ingrained into the island.

The settlement of Kijima lies the main island of the Sabishi Archipelago. The archipelago consists of 14 islands of which Kijima is the largest. To the north of Kijima lies the Nieuw Walschor colony of Noord Wortland, to the west and south lies the Sea of Florina, while in the east there lies an unnamed middle-sized desert archipelago.

The Palace/Capitol building consists of various towers, and a large keep, built on top of stone platforms which give them a high vantage point over the sea. The name of the imposing castle is “Dōkutsu-jō” which means “Cave Castle” in Japanese. The name comes from the fact that the castle was built on top of many natural cave entrances.

The Great Torii gate was the second building built on the island, it stands proud and tall on the eastern shore. The morning rays of the sun pass through it every day, making for an amazing sight. It is a powerfull symbol of the Shinto Faith, the main religion of the Empire of Kijima.

Kijima is a peacefull tropical island, far away from the troubles and conflicts of the rest of Oceania. As such, the ruling goverment under Empress MystiaLorelei has expressed the desire to be completely neutral and refrain from getting tangled in Oceania's political and autistic problems. Since the foundation of the settlement not much has happened to the tiny island, being so far away it gets little visitors. Recently though the island has been visited by P_P_A, the ruler of N.W. and of Enton, a friendly mod.

Kijima is home to a deep mining operation that has proven to be quite rich in materials such as iron, coal, lapiz lazuli, and diamond.
