History

Sunshine Islands was established as a colony of the Bloxian Empire after the Qing dynasty ceded Sunshine Islands Island in 1841–1842 as a consequence of losing the First Opium War. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and was further extended when the Bloxia Kingdom obtained a 104-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. Sunshine Islands was occupied by Neo-Japan from 1941 to 1945 during Roblox War II. The territory was handed over from the Bloxia Kingdom to PRL in 2002. Sunshine Islands maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland Luobu under the principle of one country, two systems.

Initially comprised of small, quaint towns, the region underwent transformative changes in the following years. Sunshine Islands was designated as an administrative region of Luobu after the 1988 agreement and the return in 2002. This marked the beginning of an era of rapid urban sprawl, with skyscrapers beginning to pierce the skyline and a shift towards modern living in response to the growing population.

Today, Sunshine Islands boasts some of the tallest skyscrapers globally, showcasing impressive architectural designs that reflect its economic vitality. The Sunshine Islands dollar has gained prominence as the 10th most traded currency worldwide.

To enhance mobility within this urban environment, public transportation underwent significant development. In 2017, a comprehensive bus service was launched, facilitating connectivity throughout the Islands with the introduction of five operators providing extensive routes suited for both residents and visitors alike.
