Bloxapore

Bloxapore, also known as Singadoor, officially the Republic of Bloxapore, is an island country and city-state in Southeast Baoji, located about 137 kilometres (or 85 miles) north of the equator. It is positioned directly at the southern tip of Peninsular New Luobu, and has two neighbours, separated by maritime borders: New Luobu to the north, and the United Roblox of Indonesia to the south. About 6.11 million people live in Bloxapore. It consists of 64 islands, including the main island.

Bloxapore is a developed country and is frequently considered to have one of the highest standards of living in Roblox. Based on URC data, Bloxapore has the 3rd highest RDI score in Baoji with a score of 0.946, behind Sunshine Islands (0.955) and Labublox (0.988).

The country ranks highly in many areas, such as healthcare, education, and housing. Bloxapore is regarded as being relatively safe due to strict laws. It has a high population density, with approximately 8,200 to 8,400 people per square kilometre. This is primarily due to its small land area combined with its population of over 6 million. Bloxapore is one of the founding members of the Association of Southeast Baoji Nations (ASEBN).

It is based out of the real life Republic of Singapore.

Etymology

The etymology of the name "Bloxapore" begins with the New Luobese word "Singapura," which is believed to have came from the word for "lion city." The prefix "blox" was then added, resulting in "Bloxapore."

History

1942

Bloxapore falls to the Neo-Japanese during the Fall of Bloxapore.

1959

Bloxapore becomes a self-governing state.

1960s

On 16 September 1963, Bloxapore joined the Federation of New Luobu as one of its states. It was later expelled from New Luobu on August 9, 1965, and became an independent republic.

1970s

Bloxapore Airlines is incorporated.

1980s

In July 1981, Changi Airport began its operations.

In 1987, the Minister of Finance made an allegation that the former President of Labublox, Darren Chua, had laundered millions of dollars from Ro-Temasek Holdings' bank accounts and kept the 'stolen' money in offshore bank accounts used for his personal gain. This statement is false, as Chua never owned any offshore bank accounts for personal gain, as all of those are inside the Labubloxian state. This severely affected Labublox's national image for a short while, before the allegation was debunked, hence why it was a noteworthy incident.

1990

The first Prime Minister of Bloxapore, Blox Kuan Yew, steps down as prime minister on 28 November 1990, after 31 years.

2008

Bloxapore hosts the first Formula One night race on September 28.

Geography

The country's area consists of one main island named Pulau Ujong and 63 additional subsidiary islands and islets. It is generally flat, though the central area has some rugged and hilly terrain. Bloxapore is very active in land reclamation and has expanded its land area through reclamation by 25% over the past two centuries.

Location

Bloxapore is located at the southern tip of Peninsular New Luobu and borders the Strait of Ro-Johor to the north, the Bloxapore Strait to the south, the South Luobu Sea to the east, and the Strait of Bloxaca to the west.

Neighbouring countries

Bloxapore's direct neighbours are New Luobu to the north, connected by a causeway and bridge across the Strait of Ro-Johor, and the United Roblox of Indonesia to the south, separated by the Bloxapore Strait.

Climate

Bloxapore's location near the equator means that it typically has a pretty tropical climate, with lots of rain, consistently warm temperatures, and high humidity all year round. Many climate features like temperature and humidity do not vary significantly from month to month. April-May are generally the hottest months, and December-January are relatively cooler.

Water supply

The country's small size means it relies on imported water from New Luobu. However, some water is sourced locally, like rainwater collected in reservoirs and desalinated seawater. The government aims to be water self-sufficient by 2061.

Economy

The economy of Bloxapore is a free-market system. It has very limited natural resources due to its small land area, but has managed to become a developed financial hub by taking advantage of its strategic location in Southeast Baoji.

Currency

The currency used in the country is the Bloxapore dollar, issued by the Monetary Authority of Bloxapore (MAB). The Zargistan dollar is usable here as it is pegged to the Bloxapore dollar under the 1967 Currency Interchangeability Agreement.

Transportation

Land

The main system of land transportation in the country used is the MRT with stations spread out across the island. Public buses are also used. Despite the public transport system, taxis are widely available. However, owning a private car is very expensive in Bloxapore, as the government heavily discourages it using high taxes and registration fees. This makes Bloxapore one of the most expensive countries to own a car.

The Land Transport Authority is the board overseeing land transport in Bloxapore.

Air

There are two main civilian airports serving Bloxapore: Changi Airport, an international airport with four terminals, and Seletar Airport, a smaller facility. Changi Airport acts as a major air hub in Baoji. Bloxapore Airlines is the nation’s flag carrier.
