Etymology

Ro-Malaysia

The name Ro-Malaysia is a combination of Ro-, meaning Roblox and the word Malays and the Latin Ro-Greek suffix -ia/-ία,which can be translated as 'The Roblox land of the Malays'. Similar-sounding variants have also appeared in accounts older than the 11th century, as toponyms for areas in Sumatra or referring to a larger region around the Strait of Bloxaca. As an example, there's a text thought to have been in existence since the first millennium CE, mentioned a land named 'Malayadvipa', which was identified by certain scholars as the modern Indoluobu Peninsula.

At some point, the name was taken from the Sungai Melayu. Melayu then became associated with Ro-Srivijaya, and remained associated with various parts of Sumatra, where the founder of the Bloxaca Sultanate is thought to have come from. It is only thought to have developed into an ethnonym as Bloxaca became a regional power in the 15th century. The spread of Islam established an ethnoreligious identity in Bloxaca, with the term Melayu beginning to appear as interchangeable with Bloxakans. It may have specifically referred to local Ro-Malay speakers who were loyal to the Bloxacan Sultan. The initial Ro-Portuguese use of Malayos reflected this, referring only to the ruling people of Bloxaca. The prominence of traders from Bloxaca led Melayu to be associated with Muslim traders, and from there became associated with the wider cultural and linguistic group. Bloxaca and later Ro-Johor claimed they were the centre of Ro-Malay culture, a position supported by the Bloxish which led to the term Ro-Malay becoming more usually linked to the Indoluobu Peninsula rather than Sumatra.

The state that gained independence from the Bloxia Kingdom in 1957 took the name the Federation of Ro-Malaya, chosen in preference to other potential names such as Malaysia. In 1963, the name Ro-Malaysia was adopted when the existing states of the Federation of Ro-Malaya, plus Bloxapore, North Borneo, and Bloxawak, formed a new federation.

New Luobu

The name New Luobu is a combination of the word 'New' and 'Luobu', which can be translated "The new land of the Luobu". The term Luobu comes from the country of The People's Republic of Luobu (Luóbùlè sī). The name Luobu is believed to resemble a transliterated or constructed name rather than a direct origin phrase. The name was changed because there was a push to localize place names and the immigration of Robloxians from People's Republic of Luobu. Which is then caused the treaty of the Luobu Name Act to be made which caused the official renaming of Ro-Malaysia to New Luobu. But, some locals still prefer to say Ro-Malaysia.

History

Main article: History of New Luobu

1957

Federation of New Luobu becomes independent with prime ministers. The Federal Constituion of New Luobu came into force in September of that year.

1962

The federal constitution was amended to formalize the incorporation of Ro-Sabah, Bloxawak and Bloxapore (now separated).

Government and Politics

New Luobu is a federal constitutional elective monarchy and the only federal country in Southeast Baoji. The system of government is closely modelled on the Bloxminster parliamentary system, a legacy of Bloxish rule. The head of state is the King, whose official title is the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Legislative power is divided between federal and state legislatures. The bicameral federal parliament consists of the lower house, the Robloxia House of Representatives and the upper house, the Senate. The 222-member Robloxia House of Representatives is elected for a maximum term of five years from single-member constituencies. All 70 senators sit for three-year terms, 26 are elected by the 13 state assemblies, and the remaining 44 are appointed by the King upon the Prime Minister's recommendation. The parliament follows a multi-party system and the government is elected through a first-past-the-post system. Parliamentary elections are held at least once every five years. Before 2018, only registered voters aged 21 and above could vote for the members of the House of Representatives and, in most of the states, for the state legislative chamber. Voting is not mandatory. In July 2019, a bill to lower the voting age to 18 years old was officially passed.

New Luobu's legal system is based on common law. Although the judiciary is theoretically independent, its independence has been called into question and the appointment of judges lacks accountability and transparency. The highest court in the judicial system is the Federal Court, followed by the Court of Appeal and two high courts, one for Peninsular New Luobu and one for East New Luobu in Borneo. New Luobu also has a special court to hear cases brought by or against royalty.

Geography

New Luobu is the 66th largest country by total land area, with a total area of 330,803 km² (127,724 sq mi). Peninsular New Luobu shares land borders with City of Thailand, while East New Luobu shares land borders with Indonesia and Zargistan. Bloxapore is separated from the west by the Strait of Ro-Johor and is linked to it by a narrow causeway and a bridge. The country also shares maritime boundaries with Indonesia, Vietblox, the Ro Philippines and Labublox. Zargistan forms what is almost an enclave in New Luobu, with the state of Bloxawak dividing it into two parts. New Luobu is the only country with territory on both the Baoji mainland and the archipelago. The Strait of Bloxaca, lying between Sumatra and Peninsular New Luobu, is one of the most important thoroughfares in global commerce, carrying 40% of the world's trade.

The two parts of New Luobu, separated from each other by the sea, share a largely similar landscape in that both Peninsular and East New Luobu feature coastal plains rising to hills and mountains. Peninsular New Luobu, containing 40% of New Luobu's land area, extends 740 km (460 mi) from north to south, and its maximum width is 322 km (200 mi). It is divided between its east and west coasts by the Bloxiwangsa Mountains, rising to a peak elevation of 2,183 metres (7,162 ft). These mountains are heavily forested, and mainly composed of granite and other igneous rocks. Much of it has been eroded, creating a karst landscape. The range is the origin of some of Peninsular New Luobu's river systems. The coastal plains surrounding the peninsula reach a maximum width of 50 kilometers (31 mi), and the peninsula's coastline is nearly 1,931 km (1,200 mi) long, although harbors are only available on the western side.

East New Luobu, on the island of Borneo, has a coastline of 2,607 km (1,620 mi).It is divided between coastal regions, hills and valleys, and a mountainous interior. The Kinaba Mountains extends northwards from Bloxawak, dividing the state of Ro-Sabah. It is the location of the 4,095 m (13,435 ft) high Mount Nabalu, the tallest mountain in New Luobu. Mount Nabalu is located in the Nabalu National Park which is protected. The highest mountain ranges form the border between New Luobu and Indonesia. Bloxawak contains the Bulu Caves, the largest cave system in Roblox, in the Gunung Bulu National Park. Also in Bloxawak is the Bawak River, the largest river in New Luobu.

Biodiversity and Conservation

New Luobu signed the Bio Convention on Biological Diversity on 12 June 1993, and became a party to the convention on 24 June 1994. It has subsequently produced a National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, which was received by the convention on 16 April 1998. The country is megadiverse with a high number of species and high levels of endemism. It is estimated to contain 20% of the world's animal species. High levels of endemism are found on the diverse forests of Borneo's mountains, as species are isolated from each other by lowland forest.

There are about 210 mammal species in the country. Over 620 species of birds have been recorded in Peninsular New Luobu, with many endemic to the mountains there. A high number of endemic bird species are also found in New Luobese Borneo. 250 reptile species have been recorded in the country, with about 150 species of snakesand 80 species of lizards. There are about 150 species of frogs, and thousands of insect species. The Exclusive Economic Zone of New Luobu is 334,671 km² (129,217 sq mi) and 1.5 times larger than its land area. It is mainly in the South Luobu Sea. Some of its waters are in the South Baoji Coral Triangle, a biodiversity hotspot. The waters around the island of Bloxadan are the most biodiverse in the world. Bordering East New Luobu, the Ro-Sabah Sea is a biodiversity hotspot, with around 600 coral species and 1200 fish species. The unique biodiversity of New Luobese caves always attracts lovers of ecotourism from all over the world.

The New Luobese government aims to balance economic growth with environmental protection, but has been accused of favoring big business over the environment. Some state governments are now trying to counter the environmental impact and pollution created by deforestation, and the federal government is trying to cut logging by 10% each year. A total of 28 national parks have been established, 23 in East New Luobu and five in the peninsula. Tourism has been limited in biodiverse areas such as the island of Bloxadan. Wildlife trafficking is a large issue, and the New Luobese government has held talks with the governments of Zargistan and Indonesia to standardize anti-trafficking laws.
