| rdfs:comment | - Rokugan, which meant Emerald Land in the language of the Celestial Heavens, is the central location of the Legend of the Five Rings universe and its ruling Rokugani Empire's culture is similar to that of feudal Japan. Rokugan is sometimes referred to as the Emerald Empire. Rokugani society is also based on aspects of other Asian cultures such as China and India, as well as their magical systems and mythical beasts.
- Rokugan is the focus of the Legend of the Five Rings setting. It is based heavily on feudal Japan, though it also includes aspects of other Asian cultures, as well as magic and mythical beasts. Rokugani society is based on a clan structure, with seven (and later eight) so-called "Great Clans", as well as several minor clans. Each clan also has areas of land bequeathed by the emperor under their control. The emperor retains ownership off all lands, however, and the clans essentially rent the lands they use by paying taxes annually.

There is no given name for the entire world which the setting describes, so "Rokugan" is used alternately to refer to the specific nation within the setting or to refer to the entire world. Strictly speaking this is incorrect, but as the Emperor lays claim to all that is as a right of being the descendant of Amaterasu and Onnotangu, the courtiers of the Emerald Empire would see this as an appropriate use. The citizens and rulers of the Burning Sands and Ivory Kingdoms might disagree, however.
