For the ancient mythological Banlands, see here: Banlands.

Banlands, also known as Banland National Prison, is a mythical place where Robloxians are said to be exiled to. It is so mythical that Robloxians would make memes about that place. The meme is old now. There are many versions of Banland; this article attempts to merge all versions to create a unifying description about the place, with apparent contradictions in the stories in parentheses (like this).

Description:

Banlands is a federal prison open to only ten non-exiled Robloxian visitors at a time. Commonly described as a true hell, it is where exiled Robloxians are tortured after they have abandoned all their hopes. The federal prison is so dark that pyrocity, a notable inmate in the federal prison, gives non-exiled Robloxians flashlight, torches, and a sparkler to illuminate the federal prison. Inmates in this prison are forced to face monsters made out of consumed darkness after being dropped in here, betrayed and assigned to wander the void that they are in (this is contradicted in some lore, where they are crammed into cages and are safely guarded). The inmates are believed to have no chance of escaping (though this is contradicted in some lore, where there is a chance to escape simply by walking up the prison's only staircase). The inmates are also always crying out for help only for the pain of silence to return with damped platforms forever to explore. The inmates are alone and are begging for someone to save the inmate or to tell them that is is all a dream. The inmates believe they have not met real pain until they have visited this prison. The federal prison has been described as endless and infinite monochrome by inmates. The inmates here miss their families and long to go home, be free, and become a part of life. If they stay for a long time, they truly believe they are imprisoned and will start to write diaries to be read to visitors. If they still are not freed, the inmates start to give up and go insane, starting to kill anyone that comes here.

Further investigation reveals that there is a room in Banland, designated the Super Bomb Testing Site, designed solely to torture Robloxians by dropping all sorts of bombs on them while they are imprisoned in rusty cages. Some of the rusty cages form stacks. The room's floor is a purple shade and made out of stone. It is open to the public. Formerly, employees would drop bombs to the public. Nowadays, they still continued to drop bombs, but only on plastic toys imprisoned on rusty cages or exiled Robloxians who managed to escape the first room of the prison without getting caught due to ethical violations. The former experiment was known as the Banland National Prison Experiment.

1x1x1x1

In The Games event, which came right after The Classic event he first appeared in, 1x1x1x1 faced off the players in the Banlands. Players had to defeat 1x1x1x1 in a boss fight to complete the event, which would award them with the catalog item Glitch Hacker Laurel.

Minish

Minish was a famous Roblox mayor and a frequent brickbattler who was exiled in 2009. Her deportation order was lifted during the April 1, 2012 terrorist attack in which she was allegedly framed.

History

Minish was a former well-known "troll" on the forums, particularly General Discussion (aka Robloxia Talk) from the summer of 2008 until her termination in late 2009. She was believed to have the alias "Diana", but this has remained unconfirmed. Diana, however, was indeed a stolen federal government employee account from 2005 but it is unknown if Minish once owned or had access to the account or not.

During her time on Robloxia, Minish was known to be a talented builder. She had even won an ice crown from a winter building competition and shortly after received a red banded top hat for constructing the Shrine Of The Fallen Hero.

Minish was also involved with Robloxia's sword fighters as she was seen often fighting with swords in arenas such as Fencing and Bridge Sword Arena before her deportation.

Areas owned

Exile

Minish was exiled on an unknown date in 2009 for undisclosed reasons. Some believe this was due to a feud between a federal government employee while others believe it was due to Minish allegedly claiming that she was an alias of Diana in which she was not. Neither of these have been confirmed, although someone has claimed that the latter is true.

April 1, 2012 Terrorist Attack

During the April 1, 2012 terrorist attack, Minish's deportation order was lifted. Minish was then blamed on for many things, such as being blamed on purchasing a domino crown from another Robloxian for 12,000,000 Robux. After the incident, false rumors stated that Minish actually purchased a domino crown from another Robloxian for 12,000,000 Robux.

Fun Facts:

• Minish's net worth is 2 million ROBUX at her peak.
• DracoBulletMaster has claimed on occasion to have actually been Minish the whole time.
• During the April 1, 2012 incident, the Robloxia Emergency Alert System was hijacked. The voice said, "thank you minish for messing up the economy. nub."
• An Robloxian named DoctorPandemonium has made several claims to being an alias of Minish. This was supported by another Robloxian via social media.
• In a forum post, Minish admits that she is transgender.
• During the CWPST17 attacks, the prison doors would randomly open and close and eventually every last electronically managed door would be locked shut and stuck until engineers could cut through the doors using blowtorches and specialized diamond plate-cutting chisels.

This is believed to be a photograph of a test on the Super Bomb Testing Site. Codenamed Survival, it involved the dropping of many bombs into plastic toys imprisoned in rusty cages.

As Inspiration:

Unfortunately, the fact the prison has a mythological folklore story based on it caused several contentious Robloxians, including Matt Bloxman, the secretary of Robloxians Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, to recreate the prison in the mortal Roblox planet and build it to its exact specifications. This has triggered a great resonating moment for those who believe in the mythological folklore, leading some to conjecture that Matt Bloxman created the story of Banlands only to fulfill the story's chilling prophecy in the end to make it seem like a self-fulfilling prophetic text or Matt Bloxman being an actual deblox.
