Labublox (/lə'buːblⱰks/), officially the Republic of Labublox, is a fully-recognized country that resides in the island of Labublox and its several other smaller islands, which resides in Southeastern Baoji. As a federal republic with a predetermined line of succession, Labublox comprises 10 districts. Five districts represent the six islands of Labublox (aside from the main Labublox Island) and five more are situated in the Labublox Island. It is a tourist destination for scuba divers and Ro-Sabahan/Zargistani tourists. It borders the beautiful South Luobu Sea. It is just 10 kilometers away from the beaches of Ro-Sabah and 30 kilometers away from the beaches of Zargistan. It has maritime borders with New Luobu, Zargistan and the Ro-Philippines.
Labublox is a highly-developed and highly-industrialized country that is famously known as the epitome of an excellent financial hub. The country is currently the third-richest country in all of Roblox (also known as Okodomos) and the richest country in Baoji when measured by GDP per capita.
Etymology
The name Labublox first derived from the New Luobese word labuhan, which means 'harbour'. To represent its status as a country in Roblox, the Bloxian colonial government decided to add a 'Blox' suffix to the end of the name, creating what is now known as 'Labublox'.
The Luobese called their settlement in Labublox, '南羅布港', which means 'South Lop Port', a rough translation for 'South Luobu Port' in Traditional Luobese.
The Zargistanis did not call Labublox anything however, as they considered the territory to be part of their own sultanate. However, old government manuscripts state that the actual name for the territory is 'Pulau Luobu Selatan', which means 'South Luobu Island' in New Luobese.
The Ottobloxians named their puppet state in Bloxraman Island, 'Suleybloxia', named after the Ottobloxian sultan Suleyblox, however this never had an impact on the rest of the Labubloxian islands.
The Ro-Spanish and Ro-Portuguese on the other hand, gave Labublox the name of 'New Ro-Philippines', both in their languages each during their respective colonial periods. The Ro-Spanish coined this term first, when one of their explorers found the island while sailing to the Ro-Philippines during the Zargistani colonization era. He came to the island for a pit stop and called it that. Later, when the actual Ro-Spanish colonisation era began, the name was used officially. When the Ro-Portuguese bought the island from the Ro-Spanish, they kept the name.
When the Bloxians came, that's when the name was officially changed to Labublox. However, during the Neo-Japanese occupation era, the territory was called Kensuke Island (ケンスケアイランド), named after the first Commander of the Neo-Japanese 37th Army, Marquess Taitō Kensuke.
After the defeat of the Neo-Japanese forces in Roblox War II, the name was reverted back to Labublox.

Similar standalone article: History of Labublox.
Prehistorical Era
Researchers note that the history of Robloxian life in Labublox as a whole dates back to 65,000 years. Many cave drawings exist in caves around the area, and the native Labubloxians there went through multiple different eras, such as the Stone Age and more. The native Labubloxians, which derive from many tribes, were the earliest followers of the religion created by the God 2x2 as well as Animism and Noobism. Spawn plates and seashells were the main trading material those days.
The first cave drawings in Labublox were found in 1997 by a group of archaeologists from Netherblox. They were found in the Gua Gulai cavern in the remote town of Alor Palawan, located in Labublox Tengah. The drawings date back to 40,540 years, and were drawn using stone tools and natural dye.
Ropta Imperial Influence Era and Subsequent Ro-Indian Imperial Semi-Colonisation
During the 4th to 5th centuries AD, the islands which now form Labublox were under the influence of the Ropta Empire, which was one of the predecessors of modern Ro-Indi. This brought Indian culture to the Labubloxian islands and gave birth to the Indian population of Labublox, which is particularly concentrated in the western region of the Labublox Island and Ro-Papan Island. This influence has gotten so much more prevalent in the later years of Labublox's history.
After the 5th century AD, different Ro-Indian empires influenced the territory, such as the Bloxavalla Empire and Bloxkatiya Empire. However, the Roysala Empire, the last Ro-Indian empire that ruled the territory formally withdrew from the territory in 1231. From then on, Labublox was independent until 1301. Speaking of..
Bloxjapahit Influence Era and Temporary Independence
In 1301 AD, the Bloxjapahit Empire took control of the territory of Labublox. This further justifies the joint Sino-Indian heritage of the country nowadays. The territory was directly ruled by the Maharaja of Bloxjapahit. However, in 1365 AD, the native Labubloxians staged a war against the Bloxjapahit rulers, hence the Bloxjapahit rule came to an abrupt end. For more than a century after that, the Labubloxian land was left uninvaded and independent of any foreign invader. It was left unscathed by the many other empires in New Luobu and Zargistan, as well as the Ro-Philippines, People's Republic of Slendernawa and many more.
Luobese Settlement Era
Then, more explorers and traders from many countries came to trade in New Luobu (including Robloxians from the country of Robloxia). Primarily the ancient Luobese traded in Labublox due to its strategic location in the South Luobu Sea. This history of trade continued until 1511 AD, when the Luobese actually decided to establish a trading settlement in Bricktoria, thus colonising it entirely.
This settlement introduced Luobese culture to the Labubloxian islands. Hence why there are a lot of Luobese residents living in Labublox today. The Luobese negotiated a free trade deal with the Bumiputera tribal leaders in 1516 AD. During this time, the newly created ceramic spawn plates as well as tea plantations were the new trading material. The settlement remained until 1570, when the governor was bribed by the Sultan of Zargistan to cede the territory to Zargistan.
During this period, the Luobese Governor of South Lop Port (州長) ruled the settlement on behalf of the emperor.
Ottobloxian Occupation of Bloxraman Island and the Formation of the Sultanate of Suleybloxia
In 1547, the Ottoblox Empire invaded Bloxraman Island and took it from the Luobese following a fierce battle in what is now Bandar Ro-Tentera. The reason is that the Ottobloxians saw huge potential in exploiting natural resources in the island, particularly wood, to build their magnificent stuff. They somehow managed to reach Borneo due to naval expansions. Keep in mind that during this time, the Ottoblox Empire was ruled by Suleiblox the Magnificent.
For 11 years, the Ottobloxians administered Bloxraman Island as a beylerbelik (province) of the Ottoblox Empire. They called their colony 'Süleyblox Adası', or Suleybloxia in Western terms and translation purposes, even though that name directly translates to 'Suleyblox Island'. The capital city was named Borneo Şehri, meaning 'Borneo City'. However, this beylerbelik proved unpopular with the locals, as they rallied for independence, since the Vali of Suleybloxia, Mehmet Abbash Şakir, clearly wasn't comfortable with them, as he restricted their rights.
Due to the fierce backlash, Padishah Suleiblox deposed Mehmet Abbash Şakir and abolished the beylerbelik system. He instead established an Ottobloxian puppet state called the Sultanate of Suleybloxia, with a more lenient and conservative Sultan as the head of state. The state was given military support by the Ottoblox Empire. This state would then exist for more than three centuries.
The colonisers of the other Labubloxian islands have tried to invade Bloxraman Island to incorporate it as part of their Labubloxian colonial territory, however all attempts failed, as at the time, the Ottoblox Empire was very powerful. The locals in Bloxraman Island still faced persecution, as the puppet government only cared about the Ottobloxian immigrants, however the locals faced less severe persecution than what they faced during the beylerbelik era.
According to Ottobloxian statistic experts, 47.3% of all wood found in Bloxraman Island was exploited and stolen by the Ottoblox Empire to further expand their naval army by building more ships. By the 1800s, though, Ottobloxian exploitation of natural resources had been halted, and the puppet state still existed as a territorial expansion for the empire. The Ottobloxians' military presence grew weaker and weaker with each passing year in the 1800s.
Finally, in 1901, Bloxraman Island was legally ceded to the Bloxians, who incorporated the territory as part of the Crown Colony of Labublox. The Bloxian High Commissioner to Southeast Baoji, Sir Dominus Crownly, and the Sultan of Suleybloxia, Samad I, signed the Treaty of Borneo City.
Zargistani Colonisation Era
Meanwhile, in 1570, the Sultanate of Zargistan took control of the other islands, incorporating them as a territory of theirs. The Zargistanis introduced the Islamic religion to the country and were the first slave-holders in the country. The Sultan, on the other hand, was getting richer thanks to the valuable resources plundered from the territory. Small smirkishes with local tribe councils ensued up until the early 1600s, in which the Zargistanis won. This brought Islamic culture to the other Labubloxian islands for the first time, since Bloxraman Island has that culture thanks to the Ottobloxian invaders. Further details about this era remain obscure and undocumented.
Ro-Spanish Colonisation Era and Temporary BERC Occupation
Then, in 1665 AD, the Sultan of Zargistan ceded the territory to the Ro-Spanish Empire in exchange for exotic materials. The Ro-Spanish placed the former Zargistani territory under the control of a viceroyal system. Then later in 1710 AD, the colony gained an official name, the Virreinato de Nueva Filipinas. And so on, until independence, Labublox went under the name of New Ro-Philippines (in Ro-Spanish and Ro-Portuguese).
They named the capital Ciudad de Nueva Ro-Filipinas and they had some workmen in Labublox taken away to faraway lands to harvest other things, rather than harvesting palm oil and rubber like in Labublox, obviously. Additionally, there was rampant piracy, especially thanks to piracy in the Bloxaribbean. The Ro-Spanish created a law on piracy stating that execution is the main punishment for piracy in 1765 AD. The Ro-Spanish also brought diseases to the native Labubloxians, and a lot of people were terminated during the Ro-Spanish colonial era (1665-1778, 1781-1791). Researchers note that the main cause of native Labubloxian terminations were caused by diseases like malaria and smallpox.
On June 16, 1778, Nueva Ro-Filipinas was invaded and temporarily occupied by the Bloxian East Ro-Indi Company (BERC) due to the failure and demolition of the main administrative station in Bloxlambangan Island. The Sultan of Zargistan, Hafi Jamaluddin I, kept offering Nueva Ro-Filipinas's islands to the BERC to secure their support in defending North Borneo from the Bloxulu invaders. In Bloxcha-Bloxcha, the BERC made a failed attempt in establishing a new station. This cycle of build-and-fail would be repeated until somewhere in 1781, when the chairman of the BERC at the time, Sir Vermillion Dominus, agreed to establish a new station in Bloxlambangan Island again.
Ro-Portuguese Colonisation Era
In 1791, the Ro-Portuguese bought the territory from the Ro-Spanish, hence renaming the colony to Província de Novas Ro-Filipinas and changing the system to the status of a Ro-Portuguese province (like all other Ro-Portuguese colonies). The capital was changed to Cidade dos Anjos. They ruled the country until the end of The Ro-Portuguese forces were more evil than the Ro-Spanish and even the Ottobloxians, however. You'll see why.
The Novas Ro-Filipinas Massacre of 1811
On March 3, 1811, at 10:00 a.m., local Bumiputera tribe leaders took part in a march to the Gabinete do Governador-Geral da Província de Nova Ro-Filipinas which is located in the capital, Cidade dos Anjos (now known as Bloxtoria). They demanded tribal independence from the hands of the tyrannical Ro-Portuguese.
In response, the provincial governor-general at the time, João Bloxrraia Peléz, ordered his private army to stage an enormous massacre a month later. The soldiers committed war crimes so horrendous and repulsive that they aren't suitable to be mentioned in this article. An estimated 235,000 people were pronounced terminated, while 600,340 more were injured.
Because of this, a tribe leader, Bloxgana (who somehow survived the massacre), reported this to the International Criminal Court in Roblox in the year 1812. The court formally ruled Ro-Portugal to be rightfully not guilty because 'the rebels aren't fit to rule the country on their own'. However, after much pressure by ally states like Robloxia and former enemies like Ro-Spain, the court finally ruled that Governor-General Peléz was guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, much to the chagrin of the Ro-Portuguese. He was then executed two weeks later.
Early Bloxian Colonisation Era
As a result of the conviction of Governor-General Peléz, there was no governor-general in Novas Filipinas. The Bloxians took advantage of this government vacancy and established a transitional government during Peléz's conviction, in which the Bloxians deposed the Ro-Portuguese government and established a crown colony in which James Bloxxe would become the ruler of the territory. In 1821, the transitional government was dissolved and the Crown Colony of Labublox was the official government. Until 1905, the capital city's name was Labublox City. Then, after 1905, it was called Bricktoria, honouring Queen Bricktoria of Bloxia.
The Labublox Archipelago Company (LAC) was one of the first companies to exploit the natural resources of Labublox Island and its surrounding islands. It never exploited resources from Bloxraman Island though, because the Ottobloxians strategically safeguarded their territory from invaders. However, the LAC themselves had a dispute with James Bloxxe and was dissolved in 1851 by orders of the colonial government.
In 1842, upon his ascension to the Rajah of Bloxarwak, James Bloxxe resigned from this post as governor of Labublox and the ownership was transferred directly to the monarchy. In 1890, the North Borneo Chartered Company (NBCC) took control of the ownership of the territory. They were very repressive and rude towards the locals, as their only goal is to plunder all those sweet, sweet resources.
The first passenger and freight rail systems in Labublox operated in the 1850s, and were mainly used to connect the cities in the main Labublox Island. Trade activity with other Bloxian colonies also flourished during this era, with the rise of cargo ships. Later, in 1918, cargo and passenger jets were introduced.
In 1901, following the admission of Bloxraman Island into the Crown Colony and proof that the NBCC was not good at managing the colony (skill issue), the NBCC ceased to own 100% of the territory, now sharing 50% of the territory with the monarchy. In 1902, the Bloxians decided to build a submarine communications cable that connected Labublox with Bloxapore, North Borneo and the Sunshine Islands for the first time.
On May 15, 1903, the NBCC ceased to maintain ownership in Labublox. Labublox was then admitted into the Straits Settlements, and the Governor of the Straits Settlements ruled the territory. During Roblox War I, some Labubloxians fought alongside the Bloxians. Former President Kaswi Zakaria was one of them. The Bloxians didn't credit them for their victory though, however they did so in Roblox War II.
The Great Depression severely impacted the colony. Throughout the 1930s, many citizens were unemployed and lost their jobs. Not only did economical and social progress stagnate, but this period also created heavy burdens for the Bloxian Empire, who seemed to not benefit from any of its colonies during this period. Unfortunately, this condition remained until the end of Roblox War II and up to the early 1950s.
Neo-Japanese Invasion and Roblox War II
Labublox was occupied by the Neo-Japanese Empire from 14 August 1942 to June 1945 as part of the Southeast Baoji Campaign and was garrisoned by the Neo-Japanese 37th Army, who controlled North Borneo at the time. Labublox served as the administrative center of the Neo-Japanese 37th Army and the North Borneo region. The territory was named 'Kensuke Island' (ケンスケアイランド), named after the first Commander of the Neo-Japanese 37th Army, Marquess Taitō Kensuke, who was murdered by an unknown perpetrator in Bloxdakan, Ro-Sabah.
In February 1945, plans to liberate Borneo have been made by the allied forces. In April of that year, the allied forces launched Operation Borneo Forever. The Telamon Islands, Robloxia, Bloxia, the Republic of Luobu and Bloxstralia partook in the operation. The operation officially started on 11th April, when the Telamonian Armed Forces, led by the Field Marshal of the Telamonian Armed Forces, Rakatua Ranga, launched several attacks on the administrative capital of Kensuke Island, which isn't Bricktoria, but rather Batu Bloxnikar, which had been named 'Sakura City' (さくら市) during the occupation. Labublox became their main target to repossess.
By the end of the month, the Bloxian and Telamonian forces managed to capture Ro-Papan, establishing a new administrative base of operations in what is now known as Perhentian Ro-Papan. The Labubloxians also began fighting as part of the Bloxian Empire, ditto soldiers from the Bloxian Raj, Bloxian Ro-Guiana, Straits Settlements, Bloxian Mainland New Luobu (I'll have to wait until Mirza Hakim gives an official name for this), Rhodebloxia and many more Bloxian colonies.
Not long after, the Robloxian Armed Forces launched an airstrike with the help of powerful airships and missile-launchers, capturing Labublox's airspace within a heartbeat. By the second half of May 1945, 90% of all Labubloxian land was occupied by the allied forces. On 4th October 1945, Neo-Japanese General of the Southeast Baoji Campaign, Kemono Satowara officially surrendered at a place now known as Surrender Point, near the Ro-Layangan beach.
Satowara was taken by the 9th Division of the Bloxstralian Army to their headquarters to sign the Borneo Surrender Accords in front of Bloxstralian Major General Kim Wattleby.
Allied Occupation Era and Subsequent Late Bloxian Colonization Era
The Neo-Japanese formally withdrew on June 1945, however it wasn't until October of that year that the Neo-Japanese General of the Southeast Baoji Campaign legally surrendered to the allied forces. Labublox and its outlying islands were divided into five zones of allied occupation by the very same five powers that helped to liberate it. They occupied the territory together until a set time period by the Bloxian Empire of 6 months before Bloxia (not the state in Robloxia) fully ruled the territory again. These zones actually shaped the districts of current Labublox. Kinda.
The allied forces legally ruled the territory from June to December 1945.
The Telamon Islands controlled the territory that currently belongs to the district of Labublox Timur, capturing the capital, Bricktoria, although currently Bricktoria is its own independent district. The Bloxian Empire controlled the territory that currently belongs to the district of Labublox Tinggi, managing to control land as far as Ro-Layangan, because the Bloxians have a well-established record of messing up land borders. Robloxia controlled the territory that now belongs to the district of Labublox Barat, Taiblox controlled the territory that now belongs to the district of Labublox Tengah, and all the outlying islands were controlled by Bloxstralia, the Telamon Islands and Bloxia, 2 islands for each.
Initially, the Telamon Islands and Bloxstralia wanted to retain their occupation zones for longer, and were given permission to do so by the Bloxians, however RW2 devastated the two countries massively and the territory was deemed unprofitable to them. So, on December 1945, Bloxstralian, Robloxian, Taibloxian and Telamonian forces formally withdrew from the territory, leaving only the Bloxian forces on the territory. A small garrison of Telamonian forces, however, remained on the territory until May 1946, when they left the territory. The Bloxians then incorporated Labublox into the Crown Colony of North Borneo, which would later become the state of Ro-Sabah.
In 1948, the first nationalised oil company in Labublox was founded in the city of Bricktoria. Its name was the Bloxian Labublox Petroleum Corporation, otherwise known as the BLPC. It made huge profits out of discovering crude oil fields scattered throughout the South Luobu Sea. Around 25% of those profits went to the colonial government. Its successor was the much-more successful Syarikat Petroliam Labublox Berhad, or PETROLBX, which was founded in 1985, shortly after the Great North Neo-Korbloxian-Labubloxian War ended.
During the 1950s, the effects of the Great Depression started to fade away, leaving more room for economical advancements and better colonial stability. Somewhere around mid-1955, Labublox became a town board area of the Crown Colony, alongside Bandar Nabalu, Bloxdakan and Kota Tapo.
The Dissolution of the Crown Colony of North Borneo and The Resurrection of the Crown Colony of Labublox
Shortly after Ro-Sabah became a state of New Luobu in 1963 following the New Luobu Agreement, the Crown Colony of North Borneo ceased to exist. Because Labublox was very valuable to the Bloxians, the Bloxians decided to bring back the Crown Colony of Labublox, which was dissolved following the Neo-Japanese occupation of Labublox in 1942, much to the native Labubloxians' dismay. The Bloxian forces also rigged a local independence referendum in 1964. This time, only Bricktoria and Batu Bloxnikar were designated as town board areas.
The former Governor of North Borneo, Sir Turnpike Thompson, became the new Governor of Labublox. Because the Labubloxians wanted independence from the Bloxians like Ro-Sabah, they started the 1974 Labublox independence riots, led by the LIM (which is now a legal political party in the country), which resulted in the death of 22 people and the injuries of an estimated 195 more. The riots ended in Bloxian victory, before the riots could have the potential to become a full-scale war.
Labublox's Independence
On November 15, 1979, Labubloxian independence activist Montpelier Kimberley Pelo, or simply known as M.K. Pelo, decided to venture to mainland Bloxia itself to talk with Bloxian colonial leaders about Labublox's potential independence, the same way Danman Hanja I and his mates helped New Luobu gain independence.
She gathered members of the town board areas of Bricktoria and Batu Bloxnikar as well as local independence leaders. The next day, they went on the SS Cooper and set off to Ro-London. After three days of meetings and conferences, the Bloxians finally gave in and announced that on September 3, 1980, Labublox will finally gain independence.
And so, on September 3, 1980, the Bloxian forces formally withdrew from the territory and gave Labublox their independence. The Bloxian flag was lowered for the last time and the Labubloxian flag was raised. A massive national celebration was held in Bloxtoria the day after. Multiple countries recognized Labublox on the day of independence. M.K. Pelo became the new president of the country and the first GWD was then held in July 1981.
Labublox was then admitted into the United Roblox Countries in October 1981, and into the Bloxian Commonwealth a month later.
The Early 1980s- A Horrible Start for Labublox
The Cold War became a huge threat to the newly-independent Labublox, especially, taking into consideration, the rise of pro-communist parties like the Parti Komunis Labublox (PKL) and the Persekutuan Rakyat (PR). The aforementioned parties played a major role in destabilizing the country's administration and peace.
Labublox was largely pro-Robloxian in the Cold War, since Robloxia has helped them a lot and the ideology of the Tovokian Union proved to be really unpopular and harmful to the country's stability. This stance was heavily implied by M.K. Pelo, who became increasingly anti-communist. Radio stations and the Novocom channels were dedicated to broadcasting pro-democratic propaganda so that the citizens would never get involved with the pro-communist parties.
However, on March 21, 1982, signals from the radio stations Suara Labublox (Voice of Labublox) and LBRW were reportedly received by listeners from the North Neo-Korbloxian capital, Ro-Pyongyang, as well as certain areas in Luobu. It turned out that there was an error made by the two stations that happened two days ago that caused the radio signals to be received by listeners across the South Luobu Sea. This was not well-received by the two pro-Tovokian countries.
The People's Republic of Luobu didn't do anything about this situation other than publicly denounce the Labubloxian government, however the situation was escalated in North Neo-Korbloxia. On April 3, then-North Neo-Korbloxian president Kim Blox Sung (picture) declared full-scale war on Labublox, with the reason given being that 'the signals were a threat to national integrity'. And so, this incident marked the beginning of the Great North Neo-Korbloxian-Labubloxian War, or as locals called it, 'Krisis Perang Dingin' (Cold War Crisis).
On April 25, 1982, North Neo-Korbloxian forces stormed and invaded the capital, Bricktoria. They launched several attacks on the city and bombed the Novocom headquarters in Bandar Baru Labublox, where the two radio stations' offices were located. Although the damage was small and unimportant, this caused the Novocom channels and the radio stations to go off-air until 1983.
On the radio station LBRW, the last broadcast message was delivered before cutting to a long, high-pitched noise. Two hours later, LBRW's signal was cut off completely. Suara Labublox was not as lucky; it too had its signal cut off due to the invasion. By April 27, all radio stations were dead.
And on April 28, the government had its power significantly reduced, with General Hyeung Jeun-bin becoming the de facto leader of the territory. However, M.K. Pelo was still recognized as the de facto and de jure president of Labublox by the majority of nations.
Throughout the days that followed, the North Neo-Korbloxians set up 'camps' called '더 큰 선을 위한 캠프' (Camp for the Greater Good), where selected Labubloxian individuals (e.g. intellects, pro-democratic activists and families of suspected enemies) will linger. The 'prisoners' suffered a lot. They were left to starve for many weeks, brutally tortured and were even forced to salute the North Neo-Korbloxian flag. At this point, North Neo-Korbloxian forces had committed many war crimes.
As told earlier, in late 1983, the Novocom channels and radio stations resumed normal broadcasting, as the headquarters were rebuilt and the Robloxian and Telamonian forces garrisoned the area. For some odd reason, the technology Novocom used post-war was significantly more advanced than the pre-war technology used from 1981 to 1982.
The war devastated the entire country. Terminations totalled up to an estimated 101,573 by the end of the war. Economists reported that Labublox was the poorest country in all of Baoji in 1983. There was literally no hope for this country. However, ally states like Robloxia and New Luobu kept on supporting it. An estimated ⏣100,000,000,000,000 in total aid was donated by ally states to the Labubloxian government, who used it wisely to help victims affected by the war, especially the '더 큰 선을 위한 캠프' prisoners. The remainder of the budget was used for national purposes (e.g. infrastructure and education) after the war.
The ally states also helped Labublox defense-wise in defeating the North Neo-Korbloxians. Their militaries have actively participated in the war and garrisoned important areas of the country from being attacked by the other side. By 1984, North Neo-Korbloxia was losing the war. The war officially ended on January 16, 1985, when Kim Blox Sung was forced to sign the Treaty of Ro-Layangan in front of the president of Labublox at the time, Darren Chua, at Surrender Point, the same area where the signing of the Borneo Surrender Accords took place. Labublox had finally won the war, after almost three years of suffering.
Until 1988, Labublox experienced a 'democracy obsession' period, in which the government was extremely paranoid of authoritarian states (even non-communist ones), because the country was rebuilding its momentum. Even though ally states like Robloxia and Bloxapore advised the government to stop being paranoid, the government did not listen as they claimed that they were extremely worried for the safety of the nation.
Throughout the war, most of the pro-Tovokian countries legally claimed that Labublox was an overseas province of North Neo-Korbloxia. However, Yugobloxa was an exception, as it claimed that North Neo-Korbloxia did not deserve the attention it got from other pro-Tovokian countries. The pro-Robloxian and Robloxia-leaning Third World countries thought the same, too.
The Late 1980s- An Emerging Economic Miracle
After the Great North Neo-Korbloxian-Labubloxian ended in Labubloxian victory, the Labubloxians did not need to worry about anything. They could finally focus on developing their ruined country.
Multiple infrastructure projects were planned under the governance of the presidents Darren Chua and Kaswi Zakaria. The most prominent of them all was the ambitious Green Apartment Project, or the Projek Pangsapuri Hijau, which was a project planned in 1988 that sought to lay the foundations for multiple eco-friendly condominiums in almost all cities nationwide. The project was headed by the government-funded Ekojaya Corporation Berhad and was completed in August 2025.
In June 1986, the Labubloxian government officially declared the country to be of tax-haven status. The Perbadanan Hasil Negara (PHN) was created to control taxes and protect the status. Soon after, as expected, more and more professionals came to the country throughout the following years.
Labublox's trade activity was becoming more frequent, and the old cargo ships used to carry out export and import activities in the garrisoned ports of Labublox during the war were replaced with more modern, efficient ones, that were given the label 'LSS'. The national oil company PETROLBX expanded its electrical generation branches to cover hydroelectric generation and wind power generation in 1987, further strengthening Labublox's stance as an eco-friendly country.
Speaking of 1987, just when things were great for Labublox, the Bloxaporean government hit them with an allegation of money laundering. This became a huge scandal as a result of what followed after the allegations. The city-state's minister of finance at the time, Mark Tan Guo-Yeng, claimed that President Darren Chua allegedly stole millions of Bloxapore dollars (BAD) from Ro-Temasek Holdings' bank accounts and kept the 'stolen' money in offshore accounts in ally states for personal gain.
Following that allegation, the foreign relations of Labublox started to decline and the newly-formed Jabatan Hal Ehwal Luar Negeri (JHELN)'s funding decreased drastically. A lot of ally states turned against Labublox. However, the statement actually proved to be false by both the Labubloxian government and the prime minister of Bloxapore at the time, Blox Kuan Yew, as all bank accounts belonging to Darren Chua were kept only within state boundaries, with 'offshore accounts' being used to fund organizations like the Association of Southeast Baoji Nations (ASEBN).
After that incident, the economic growth of Labublox continued to rise sharply, even more so than usual. Project 80, a very famous skyscraper project, was completed in 1989. It closely resembled the then-nonexistent New Luobese skyscraper Merdeka 118. The skyscraper resembled a glass sculpture of M.K. Pelo holding a Labubloxian flag, which was built using colorful gems like rubies and topaz. It has a high-quality lightning protection system.
The 1990s- Labublox Under Two Reformist Presidents
As the Cold War ended in 1991 and nations in Southeast Baoji began to liberalize, Labublox became widely known as a worldwide jurisdictional point. It was then given the nickname 'Crossroads of Baoji'. The 1990s, in particular, oversaw the impossibly astonishing economic success of Labublox as a whole.
Labublox flourished under Kaswi Zakaria's rule, however he was terminated on May 12, 1992, due to cerebral haemorrhage. He was very, very old when he passed away, his age almost reaching 112 years at the time of his passing. The vice president at the time, Abindabad Mehreen, who also replaced Zakaria in February when he was incapacitated due to the haemorrhage, continued and completed Zakaria's term, until he was succeeded by Janani Hemamalini (picture), former president pro tempore of the Dewan Kebangsaan, who ascended to the vice presidency during Mehreen's rule. Pelo, Chua and Zakaria were fully conservative, however Hemamalini was the first ever reformist-conservative president to rule Labublox.
President Hemamalini was a center-right urban reformist at heart, as she and her party focused more on economic growth, professionalism and also conservatism. Her political stance remains centrist, for some unfathomable reason. She established the Hemamalini Foundation, or the Yayasan Hemamalini, which sought to propel economic success while also enforcing and supporting President Hemamalini's policies around the country. The Hemamalini Foundation also held annual donations to charities nationwide, even going as far as to donate to international charities as well. The donations are still held every year until now, as the foundation still exists until now, under a different name.
The GDP per capita growth of Labublox increased by a whopping 81.5% under President Hemamalini's rule, making it one of the richest countries in Baoji, but still not the richest in the world, a title it would earn later on in the late 2010s and still holds to this day. The nominal GDP also increased drastically, putting the country ahead of many Southeast Baoji countries. President Hemamalini was given the title of the 'Mother of Modernization', or 'Ibu Kemodenan'.
Somewhere around mid-1993, Labublox joined the Pula Compact, sharing its dissent for the notorious Confederate Union and further improving Labublox's defense forces.
The following is related to a voting scandal. So, in July 1996, before the first morning of the GWD elections of that year, several members of Parti Perjuangan (PPJ), which is an authoritarian far-right party made up of rebellious ex-soldiers, stuffed the ballot boxes around the voting venue, which was Sekolah Kebangsaan Bloxtu Lima, with rigged votes, making sure that their candidate in the election, Ismail Jazmien, wins the election. Fortunately, security cameras were already installed around the school, and the members involved were caught red-handed by the MODKEB. Parti Perjuangan was later banned from participating in any GWD elections until the year 2020. The ballot boxes were emptied just before any of the voters came.
On August 1996, Janani Hemamalini stepped down as president of Labublox. The former vice president of Labublox (and also Hemamalini's husband), Ramsay Gibrong took her position. President Gibrong was also a reformist, like Hemamalini, and was a really close friend of her ever since they were in elementary school. They married in 1995.
Gibrong kept the Hemamalini Foundation, believing that it would bring further stability and success to Labublox, only changing the name to the Labublox Forward Foundation, or the Yayasan Labublox Maju, as it is known today, to reflect the new presidency. He was the visionary of the Misi 2010 ideal, which was a government idea dedicated to making sure that Labublox achieves the status of a fully-developed nation by the year 2010. However, this obviously was a ripoff of the real-life Wawasan 2020.
President Gibrong also made poverty eradication one of his top priorities, implementing extreme economic policies to achieve that target. His efforts paid off, as Labublox was officially given the status of a 'poverty-free nation' by the United Roblox Countries in the year 1999, alongside a few other countries.
In the year 1999 alone, Labublox's GDP per capita sat at a whopping ⏣375,678, cementing its path to become one of the wealthiest nations in all of Baoji. At the time, it was THE richest country in all of Southeast Baoji when measured by GDP per capita, even managing to surpass the Republic of Pacifico, although the latter did surpass Labublox from 2001 to 2003.
Labublox was never affected by the 1997 Baoji financial crisis. During this time, it was building its very own business center in Tanjung Bloxbong, the home of the Chimney Museum. The government called it the 'Bloxbong Bizworld', and the area was lined up with the headquarters of both local and global companies, as well as tall skyscrapers which would be filled with offices. Roggle and Pear built their first Southeastern Baoji headquarters here. The business center sought to propel Labublox's financial success even further, as if it wasn't already enough. This dedication did pay off, however, as you'll see in the next section.
The 21st Century- Labublox and the New Milllennium
Ramsay Gibrong officially stepped down as president in the beginning of the new millennium, being replaced by former vice president, Juan Agusto Salias. The very early 2000s saw Labublox's economy stagnate. It didn't rise sharply as it used to, yet it didn't fall like a brick. It just grew slowly. And yet, it was still known as the richest country in Baoji. However, Juan Agusto still delivered.
His governance oversaw the introduction of the very first flying car (known as a carjet, or a kereta terbang) in the entire Roblox universe, in April 2001. The car model was made by the national automobile company Northwest Auto in collaboration with Robloxian aircraft company Roeing, and the earliest lineup of flying cars made by these two was named, 'Northwest Future'. Today, Labublox still remains the largest producer and exporter of carjets in the world, now mixing in green technology as part of the country's commitment to environmental sustainability. Juan Agusto also legalized free education and healthcare in both urban and rural areas, offering opportunities to lower-income households.
In 2003, Labublox was officially recognized as the sixth-richest country in the world. The GDP per capita of the country at the time stood at a whopping ⏣418,716. This economic success was further amplified during Morkosa Pagheyan's presidency from 2004 to 2008. Her emphasis on improving the sports aspect of the country in particular also paid off really quickly, as in 2006, Labublox became the first country in Southeastern Baoji to send athletes to the Roblox Winter Games. Some of them surprisingly managed to get bronze medals.
In March 2005, Labublox became the first country in Roblox to fully complete the digital switchover. By February of that year, according to the Jabatan Statistik Negara, almost 99.8% of Labubloxian households owned a 16:9 digital television set, because at the time, the sets were sold for at least L⏣35 (after this, television sets became more expensive). The other 0.2% were those who cannot afford a digital television set. They mostly come from rural areas. Thanks to a government program which handed out free digital television sets to the remaining households, the switchover was complete.
In 2007, Labublox was officially recognized as the third-richest country in the world in terms of GDP per capita, after the Telamon Islands and the UXXR, with an official GDP per capita exceeding over ⏣600,000, since the mid-2000s saw a sharp increase in economical growth.
The presidencies starting from 2008 never saw anything insane or radical happen in the country other than the following. Labublox was only mildly affected by the 2008 global financial crisis, unlike other countries. This was a miracle given the country's status as a financial services hub. However, it still was affected and economical progress stagnated until the following year. On April 18, 2010, the president at the time, Tan Shai-Yang, resigned due to unknown reasons. He was replaced by the vice president at the time, Amalinda Nasir, for the other two years of the four-year term designated to him. After her, Angus Ramayan became the president of Labublox until 2016.
The former vice president from 2012 to 2013, Ghanesa Sarbadalingam was notoriously known for being a kleptocrat, who stole part of Labublox's financial assets and stored them in his multiple bank accounts. This, as you can imagine, sparked a huge controversy among the Labubloxians. Groovie19, a Labubloxian political and Roternet culture commentator on BloxTube, was the first person to report on this matter, calling Sarbadalingam the 'Marcos of Labublox'. He was the only Labubloxian leader in history to ever get involved in kleptocracy. As a result of this, he was immediately arrested and given a life sentence in 2013 and was prevented from ever holding any office due to fears that he will ruin the country's financial and moral success.
His significantly more kleptocratic partner-in-crime, the president pro tempore of the Dewan Kebangsaan, Francine Kopong, was also arrested for laundering and storing an estimated total of L⏣6,000,000,000 in her private bank accounts. This, as you can imagine, equals to a whopping ⏣30,000,000,000 (1 L⏣ = 5 ⏣). In total, the duo stole about L⏣26,000,000,000, or around ⏣130,000,000,000 when converted to Robloxian Robux. The stolen assets from the bank accounts were later recovered shortly after Sarbadalingam's arrest. This scandal was named as one of the biggest money laundering cases in history, and Sarbadalingam and Kopong became notorious figures.
To simplify it, Labublox's economy slightly fell from 2012 to 2013 thanks to the kleptocracies of Sarbadalingam and Kopong, as the GDP per capita was now sitting at just ⏣709,923, ⏣7,209 less than 2011's record. After the assets were recovered, however, the economy rose back up, as stated in the 2014 record. Minnie Sabado, the department-general of the Jabatan Kebajikan Negara, ascended to the vice presidency and later became president in 2016.
On November 30, 2024, M.K. Pelo was officially terminated while being treated in the Kenparker's Kingdom Hospital due to lung cancer. Her termination ceremony was held in the Tanjong Mawar Arena and multiple world leaders came to visit her grave.
In early December 2025, Labublox legally abolished the termination penalty for 98% of crimes. Convicted criminals that are charged with crimes such as murder and drug trafficking will now be sentenced to life imprisonment instead of capital punishment. The termination penalty is still enforced for convictions involving terrorism, war crimes, crimes against humanity, high-level treason (attempting to overthrow the government illegally), premeditated crimes relating to serious child endangerment and aggravated trespassing (this only aUPLies to the New Voldex Party and the Luobese Triads, as well as other terrorist-designated groups). On December 31, 2025, the RCC officially recognised Labublox as an official affiliate member of the RCC. This started a new, bigger chapter for Labubloxian cricket as a whole.
The 'Bakushin' Incident
On the tragic day of January 15, 2026, four vessels belonging to the Tentera Laut Labublox (TLL) were brutally attacked by 'Bakushin', an Asuka-class submarine that belonged to the Monika Corporation, in an attempt to rescue captured Labubloxian Fembloxians from horrendous experiments conducted by the corporation. They strayed too close in the vicinity of the research facility that held the 'test subjects'. Three vessels were shot with torpedoes and they sank, while the remaining one, 'TLL Seremban', also known in Bloxlish as 'LNF Seremban', almost dodged the torpedo attacks and suffered a minor hull failure.
120+ sailors and naval soldiers were killed in the attacks. A nationwide moment of silence was observed by the people of Labublox on January 16, 2026. It is since remembered as the 'Victims at Sea Memorial Day'. 16 Labubloxian nationals, who were revealed to be part of the perpetrators of the attacks, were succesfully tracked by the Labubloxian government and sentenced to the termination penalty for high-level treason, mass murder and terrorism. The government also heavily fined Monika Corporation and Urbanshade and designated the two companies as terrorist organizations. However, due to corporate backing and governmental influence, the fine charges were dropped. Monika Corporation and Urbanshade are still designated as terrorist organizations that aren't allowed to enter the country. Today, the 'Bakushin' incident remains one of the biggest military tragedies in Labublox history.
The Arrest of M.S. Samuel and a New Labublox
On January 27, 2026, Groovie19 (the BloxTuber mentioned in the kleptocracy section) released an exposé video titled 'The President is not who you think he is..' In that video, Groovie19 accused President M.S. Samuel of abusing his power to silence critics, as she explains that he called her names for exposing the flaws of the government, stating that people like her don't know how to investigate. He also liked to make fun of his opponents, calling them incompetent without any proof.
According to Groovie19, this has been going on for a long time in clandestine, through the online platform known as Electron. She also accused Samuel of threatening to deport her to Robloxia, stating that she 'deserves to suffer from age verification for '. He also apparently threatened to dox her address if she doesn't comply with him. M.S. Samuel was also reportedly racist towards her and, indirectly, the entire Ro-Indian population, stating that the Robloxputera and other people are the only ones who know about the country in a deep manner, and that minorities are simply irrelevant. He was also sexist. This strengthened his contradictory right-wing position, which clashed with the DPL's values. This sparked a huge controversy among the people of Labublox, who were worried for Groovie19's safety and the rights of the Ro-Indian minority. The following day after the video was released, they stormed the Kediaman Presiden, demanding that M.S. Samuel resign from office. There were even citizens who reported his actions to local law enforcement, who eventually decided to put him on trial.
On the day of the trial, M.S. Samuel pleaded guilty to the abuse of power and political crimes he has committed, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Former vice president Abdul Tsaqif officially ascended to the presidency on February 2, 2026. In his speech, he denounced M.S. Samuel's actions and stated that he will try to do better than his predecessor. He also announced that he will be keeping the former cabinet as well, as they did nothing wrong. The news spread like wildfire internationally, and the situation even made headlines in countries like Robloxia and the Xenonist Union.
M.S. Samuel's sentence was further increased to life imprisonment on February 3, 2026, after it was revealed that he received bribes from Labubloxian companies which sell fake licenses to pilots. He was charged with fraud and corruption.
Geography
Labublox is made out of about 23.5% of land, and about 76.5% of territorial waters.
Labublox's total geographic area comprises the main island (Labublox Island, which is 201.32 square miles) and six other smaller islands, Bloxrong, Daatun, Bloxraman, Big Ro-sukan, Small Ro-sukan and Ro-Papan Island with a total area of 221.76 square miles. The islands lie 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) off the coast of Borneo, on the northern edge of the Bay of Zargistan facing the South Luobu Sea. Labublox Island is mainly flat and low-lying; its highest point is Bloxbong Mountain at 148 metres (486 feet) above sea level. Over 78% of the territory is covered in vegetation (yes, green apartments, vertical farming and hydroponics do count in this situation). The main city of Bricktoria is located in a position facing the Bay of Zargistan.
Bloxraman Island has 89% of the total elevated peaks in the entire Labublox nation. Additionally, there is a small central basalt plug in Ro-sukan Besar Island, which contains the remains of a former 2 million-year old volcano called 'Batu Ahasu'. Said volcano only erupted in the years 1456 and 1765, and has remained dormant ever since.
Labublox has a tropical rainforest climate with no dry season. Over the course of a year, the temperature typically varies from 25 to 32 °C (77 to 90 °F) and is rarely below 24 °C (75 °F) or above 33 °C (91 °F). The warm season lasts from 1 April to 13 June with an average daily high temperature above 31 °C (88 °F). The hottest day of the year is 29 April, with an average high of 32 °C (90 °F) and low of 26 °C (79 °F). The cold season lasts from 7 January to 17 February with an average daily high temperature below 30 °C (86 °F). The coldest day of the year is 8 September, with an average low of 25 °C (77 °F) and high of 31 °C (88 °F). There are two weather stations for Labublox. One is located at the Bricktoria Center for Meteorology (BCM), and another is located in Terminal 3 of the Bricktoria International Airport.
Thunderstorms and heavy rain are known to be the most severe precipitations in Labublox, with 60% of those days with the precipitations.
Government: GWD and Governmental and Congressional Functionality
Labublox is a federal republic utilising a line of succession for its presidency (more on that later). The vice president and other leaders however, are elected using a system in which representatives (like district ministers) from each of the 10 districts undergo a taking-turns system, which the government calls 'Giliran Wakil Daerah', or GWD. The english name for this is 'District Representatives' Rotary System' or the DRRS. This is also the name of the voting process too, since that is related to the actual GWD system. So instead of 'general elections', the Labubloxians call voting 'GWD' or 'DRRS'. It is very similar to the New Luobese system in which each of the 9 states with a Sultan/King or YDPB (in the case of Negeri Sembilan) gets to take turns to make their monarch the legal head of the country (YDPA).
If there are no legal representatives from a district when it is the district's turn to rule the country, then the system will move on to the next district. Although this never happens, this rule is still emphasized in the District Representatives' Rotary System Selection Act of 1981. If the governance is bad, then the disagreeing district representatives in line can impeach the person in power. If they are succesfully impeached, then the representative from the next district can hold power. The system always starts with Bricktoria, according to the constitution. The selection process is always held every four years since 1984 (to simplify it, every leap year this process will be held), and is always held in the month of July.
To take part in the GWD process, you need to be a high-ranking and well-respected member of a legal political party (before 2020, PPJ representatives were automatically dismissed due to their 1996 voting scandal involvement). You also need to be 25 and above. You must also legally own an IdentitiLBX card, which you will own when you are 18 years old. Registering an IdentitiKanak card or an IdentitiRemaja card for GWD (which only three people have done in history) will not help you in this case, as you will get arrested. If you don't own any, you also will get arrested if you are a legal citizen of Labublox. And that card must be registered by the Perbadanan Identiti Negara (PIN). If it wasn't, then you also will get arrested and have to pay a fine for owning an illegal IdentitiLBX card.
The bicameral federal congress (Kongres Persekutuan) consists of a lower house, the House of Representatives (Dewan Wakil), and the upper house, the Senate (Dewan Kebangsaan). The Dewan Kebangsaan has 80 seats, and the 80 senators are elected each time during the same GWD process. The president elects 30 senators, the vice president elects 30 more, and the respective 'Majlis Kedaerahan' elects the next 20 (2 from each division). The president will pick senators not based on GWD, but based on experience and innocence factor. So, for example, you can have Bloxrong and Ro-sukan senators while the GWD says its Ro-Papan's turn. And just because the president/vice president picked them, the president or vice president-picked senators don't get higher authority. Instead, they are at the same level as the other senators.
The 156-member Dewan Wakil, on the other hand, is elected by both single-member consituencies and the vice president, 50/50.
The congress has a multi-party system (although LIM and DPL representatives take up more seats naturally) and the government is elected through a plurality system every time the GWD happens (because of its ties with the former Bloxian Empire). PPJ representatives were never allowed inside the congress until 2020 due to reasons that you probably know. Labubloxian citizens need to be 21 and above to vote, however talks and debates of lowering the age requirement to 18 are still being discussed to this day.
Executive power is held by both the president and the vice president, about 60/40. The vice president is the legal head of the Kongres as a whole, which makes sense, since the president is legally elected from the Kongres. The vice president's cabinet (since the president is not elected democratically, but rather elected through a predetermined line of succession) is elected by members of the Dewan Kebangsaan and Dewan Wakil. The vice president is also the head of cabinet and the second-in-power head of government.
The judiciary of Labublox is mainly independent, and Labublox's law system follows Bloxlish common law, but mixed with the former Ro-Indian Penal Code, which was used in Ro-Indi during the Bloxian Raj era. The court hierarchy follows the same system as New Luobu's court system. There is a high court (Mahkamah Tinggi) for both Labublox Island (Mahkamah Tinggi Pulau Labublox) and the outer islands (Mahkamah Tinggi Pulau-Pulau Tertabur), to simplify the ultra-complex court system that would come if there are six high courts.
The presidency is not directly hereditary by bloodline. Instead, there's a whole line of succession installed for this. The president would be elected one month after the GWD ends. The first candidate in line (who is eligible) would receive the Keyline ID (Kunci Presiden) and would pass it on to later president-candidates when the election is held again. The first predetermined candidate in line is the vice president at the time. Nearing the end of his/her vice presidency, the vice president at the time can become the president for another four-year term. However, if the vice president passed away/is capacitated or is a convicted criminal, then the president pro tempore of the Dewan Kebangsaan can become president. Up next in the line of succession are the department-generals, all lined up in order of their department's succession. And then lastly, if none of the said candidates are eligible, then the government will pick a random reputable member of either the Dewan Kebangsaan or Dewan Wakil. There will be nobody else below this rank of succession.
The president sits for terms that last four years. There can never be another term for one president; once his/her term is finished, he/she's no longer the president and he/she is not allowed to hold any other federal high-ranking job. He/she, however, can run for other public offices like mayor or council leader. The president has a lot of responsbilities; he/she has to give the laws for the country, appoint the department-generals belonging to his/her administrative arm, and vice versa. After the president sits for his/her term, he/she also can no longer participate in any other major leadership roles (like chairman of a political party or district minister), possibly to prevent longevity and abuse of power (unfortunately, this isn't true for M.S. Samuel's case).
Labublox ranked 46th in the Democracy Index, being classified as a 'flawed democracy'. In fact, it is one of the top 3 most democratic countries in Southeast Baoji thanks to its flawless operation of the GWD and almost no scandals aside from the 1996 one (which was fixed soon after, so it doesn't count), as well as the arrest of Ghanesa Sarbadalingam, the kleptocrat that held the title of the vice president of Labublox from 2012 to 2014. The relatively recent arrest of former president M.S. Samuel also contributes greatly to Labublox's position in the Democracy Index.
Labublox is also the least corrupt country in all of Baoji, placing 2nd in the Roblox Corruption Index (RCI), just behind Ro-Iceland. This is partly due to the government's policies of corruption and bribery, as the almighty and trusted MODKEB will sentence you to 50 years if you are caught bribing someone or accepting bribes (for the latter, the sentence is 30 years). For the more egregious cases of corruption, the perpetrator will be sentenced to life imprisonment. As of June 2025, Labublox ranks 9th in the Roblox Peace Index (RPI), with a score of 1.395.
The current president is Abdul Tsaqif, who took power since 2026, replacing the former president M.S. Samuel. The incumbent vice president is Ayla Beren, the former president pro tempore of the Dewan Kebangsaan.
Government: Political Parties in Labublox
The political stability of Labublox is one of the most stable in Southeast Baoji. There are two major parties in Labublox that form the majority of Labubloxian politics: the Labublox Independence Movement (LIM/PGKL) and the Democratic Party of Labublox (DPL or PDL). Both parties share their desire for libertarianism. However, the LIM is a right-wing party, while the DPL leans more to the left. This is due to the LIM and DPL having different views on libertarianism, with the DPL leaning to the more democratic-socialist side while the LIM leans to the more conversative (and even slightly to the populist) side. Formerly, LIM was all-on populist, however that changed when Labublox gained independence in 1980. Both parties also share their roots in moderatism, advocating for non-violent political reforms in the state.
However, this doesn't inherently cause other smaller parties to not win important titles like the vice presidency, even though they would be at a disadvantage due to the plurality system. Historically, for more than a decade, candidates from United Alliance of Centrist Ideals (UACI) and the United Reformist Party (URP) won the vice presidency repetitively.
The incumbent president of Labublox, Abdul Tsaqif, is the current chairman of the URP, a radical center to center-right party focused on national reform and professionalism. Meanwhile, Ayla Beren, the incumbent vice president, is the current chairwoman of the LIM.
Below is a table listing all of the political parties found within Labublox. Keep in mind that abbreviations are only taken from the most recent GWD, which is the 2024 election, and that ballot access as well as other information relating to direct voting would not be listed here.

Administrative Divisions of Labublox
Above is a New Luobese-language map of all the first-level administrative divisions of Labublox made by Nottingham. There are ten districts in Labublox. The districts are further subdivided into several mukims. All of these districts will take part in the 'Giliran Wakil Daerah' system. Their respective state laws must align with the national federal law, 'Perlembagaan Negara Labublox'. The outer islands have a higher degree of autonomy than the mainland districts for some reason (Bricktoria being an exception, as it has the highest degree of autonomy within the state).
During the Bloxian colonial era, Labublox was split into two regions, Mainland Labublox (Tanah Labublox) and the Outlying Islands (Pulau Tertabur). It wasn't until 1983 that President M.K. Pelo reversed this decision and instead split the two former regions into multiple districts, which are what you will see in the the table below.
The bodies responsible for the governance of the districts are called 'Majlis Kedaerahan (insert district name)'. These bodies are legally controlled federally by the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Persekutuan, which is the executive department responsible for federal-state relations and the coordination of the federal administrative subdivisions. The current Department-General (New Luobese: Ketua Jabatan) of this department is Jeonand Singh, who has held this position since 2024.
The districts are further subdivided into several suburbs, also known as mukims, due to the country's small size.
Below is a table listing all of the districts within Labublox, with population numbers taken from the 2025 census conducted by StatNegara (Jabatan Statistik Negara, as it will be referred to).

Economy: General Overview and Sectors
Labublox is the third-richest country in Roblox in terms of GDP per capita, a record it has been proudly holding since 2007. In fact, the country's GDP per capita has even surpassed ⏣1,000,000, a milestone that, in real life, would be literally impossible to achieve. The only other countries to achieve this milestone are the Telamon Islands, the UXXR and Neo-Japan, both the richest, third-richest and fourth-richest countries in the world, respectively. Labublox's economic story is widely regarded as one of the most successful ones ever in the continent of Baoji, and even the entire world, documenting its transition from a doomed, war-torn state to a prosperous financial hub within the span of almost a mere decade (the full modernization started when Hemamalini became president in 1992).
As of 2025, the GDP per capita of Labublox is ⏣2,381,970 or approximately L⏣476,394 in local currency. Its PPP per capita, on the other hand, sits at around ⏣2,572,859, or about L⏣514,571 in local currency, making it also the third-richest country in terms of PPP per capita. It is one of only three nations in Baoji to be in the top ten Roblox nations with the highest RDI (Roblox Development Index) scores, alongside the Sunshine Islands and the Republic of Pacifico. Its Bling coefficient for income/wealth inequality is very low, possibly the lowest in the Southeastern Baoji region, sitting at just 34.6, indicating very few economic disparities (mostly dealing with foreign investors and technocrats). It is also the second-most economically free country in the world, just behind Bloxapore.
The national currency of Labublox is the Labubloxian Lablux (L⏣), issued by the Bank Negara Labublox (BNL) and controlled by both the Jabatan Kewangan Negara and the Jabatan Ekonomi dan Pembangunan Negara. According to multiple sources, including Ro-Indian newspaper The Economic Times and even Ro-Forbes, the Lablux is listed as the second-most valuable currency in the entire world, with 1 L⏣ having the same value as exactly 5 Robloxian Robux (⏣). The currency is just behind the Telamonian Robux (TR$).
The Bank Negara Labublox (BNL) manages its monetary policy similarly to how the Monetary Authority of Bloxapore (MAB) controls their policy, by allowing the Lablux's exchange rate to rise or fall within an undisclosed trading band. Labublox has one of the highest net international invesment position (NIIP) per capita in the continent of Baoji, just behind Bloxapore.
Labublox is an investor-friendly tax haven for the wealthy since 1986, partly due to its low tax rates for foreigners, ridiculously low crime and economically-friendly surroundings. Individuals such as Bling Robuxman (the Robloxian economist who invented the famous Bling coefficient), Reickhard Wieesconsin (a Ro-Surinamese multi-millionaire) and Clarentine Hope (the founder of the Hope Foundation, dedicated to helping victims of domestic abuse) are examples of notable and wealthy individuals who have settled in Labublox. Labublox has also ranked third in the 2015 Financial Secrecy Index.
In 2013, the Bank Negara Labublox fined local bank operator 3Bank for its involvement in allowing the kleptocrats Ghanesa Sarbadalingam and Francine Kopong to store laundered money in their personal 3Bank accounts without prior verification from the operator. This verification process is stated in a legal act which requires those who store more than L⏣10,000 in their bank accounts in one sitting to be verified by the bank operator, as part of a nationwide approach to prevent money laundering. Those who gradually store more than L⏣10,000 are exempt from the act. Those who breach this law will be arrested under charges of monetary fraud. Due to the carelessness of 3Bank, the kleptocrats managed to store suspicious amounts of money in their bank accounts. The BNL's actions were deemed absolutely necessary, and it was praised by many prominent monetary agencies worldwide.
Labublox is classified as a highly-developed mixed market economy. Its economy is diversified. According to a 2023 report on economic sectors made by the Jabatan Statistik Negara, there are six main economic sectors which make up the total GDP of Labublox (exports included). Below is a table that lists all of them, with notable examples included as well.
| Sector | Approximate % of GDP | Economic Type | Notable Examples |
| Industry and manufacturing | 25% | Secondary |
|
| Knowledge and finance | 25% | Tertiary/quaternary |
|
| Civic and public services | 5% | Quaternary |
|
| Agriculture | 15% | Primary |
|
| Energy and natural resources | 20% | Primary |
|
| Tourism and culture | 10% | Tertiary |

Economy: Employment
Labublox's population maintains practically full employment, driven by a high-productivity, skills-intensive labor market. Most jobs are concentrated in advanced manufacturing, digital services, logistics, finance, and trade support, while low-skill labor is limited through automation and strict labor standards. Unemployment remains ridiculously low due to continuous workforce upskilling, strong private-sector demand, and active nationwide government labor-matching and retraining programs, like the 2002 'Satu Warga, Satu Kerja' program, commonly abbreviated as 1W1K. Currently, only 0.35% of the working-age population is unemployed.
The nationwide legal retirement age is 65 years old. Previously, up until 2021, the retirement age was 70 years old. However, several members of both the Dewan Kebangsaan and Dewan Wakil began to oppose this idea, stating that the government should grant leniency to the elderly folk. Hence, in 2021, the retirement age was changed to 65 years old.
Demographics: Population
According to the 2025 population census conducted by the Jabatan Statistik Negara, Labublox's population is 1,204,885. This makes the country the second-least populated country in all of Southeastern Baoji. According to another 2025 estimate, the population is increasing by a rate of 2.34% per year. However, using the results from the 2025 census, Labublox has an estimated average population density of 5,433 people per square kilometre (km²) as of 2025. This makes Labublox one of the most densely-populated regions in Baoji and the second-most densely-populated country in Southeastern Baoji. According to a 2018 estimate, people within the 18-64 age group (working age) correspond to 72.3% of the total population; people within the 0-18 age group constitute 15.6%; while senior citizens aged 65 and above constitute 12.1%. The median age, as of 2025, is around 48.6. In 1980, when the first Labubloxian population census was conducted, the national population was just around 420,500.

Demographics: Ethnicity and Citizenship
93.7% of the population are Labubloxian citizens, with the rest being foreigners (immigrants, wealthy individuals, etc.). The Labubloxians are made up of different ethnicities, and Labublox itself is a diverse, multi-racial country. The Robloxputera group makes up the majority of the population, or around 59.6%. The Robloxputera themselves are made up of three main religions, which will be explained soon.
The term Robloxputera in Labublox is much different from the New Luobese version. The Robloxputera group, according to Labublox, is a group that encompasses the 'communities demonstratably present on the islands prior to any foreign invasion or settlement of any kind'. In basic terms, that means 'indigenous peoples of the land'. Hence Robloxputera status is accorded to the indigenous groups of Labublox. Notable examples include the Bloxdazandusun, the Ro-Dayaks, the Kedayabloxians, the Ro-Melanau, the Bloxjau and the Bloxdayeh. Unlike the New Luobese version, the New Luobese (Muslims of New Luobese ethnicity) are not included in this group, due to not legally and practically being indigenous to Labublox. It functions as a broad demographic term to describe the indigenous peoples of Labublox, since there are many.
Aside from the Robloxputera, there are also other non-Robloxputera local ethnic groups in Labublox. According to the 2025 population census, 15.3% of the population are of New Luobese descent, 12.7% of Labubloxian Luobese descent, 6.63% of Labubloxian Ro-Indian descent, 4.42% of Labubloxian Tavukian descent and the remaining 1.35% of other descent (e.g. Telamonian or Ro-Filipino). The Labubloxian Luobese as well as the Robloxputera have been historically more dominant in the business industry. Labubloxian Ro-Indians are mostly of Ro-Dravidian descent, particularly those of Ro-Tamilian descent. The Labubloxian Tavukians are the descendants of the Ottobloxians (now known as Tavukians as of 1922) and mostly come from Bloxraman Island, due to the Ottoblox Empire's heavy influence in the island's cultural and demographical legacy.
Labubloxian citizens mostly live inside high-rise condominiums and apartments that are all partially owned by the Jabatan Perumahan dan Pembangunan Luar Bandar Negara (JUPLBN), with a small minority living in traditional, low-rise houses and grand mansions. This is due to the scarcity of land in the country. Most low-rise houses are found within Labublox Tinggi and the outer islands. Live-in foreign domestic workers do exist in the country, albeit in a small quantity. As of 2023, there are 75,417 of them living in Labublox.
Labubloxians created inside the country will be granted automatic citizenship, subject to the Perlembagaan Negara Labublox. Alternate accounts of Labubloxian citizens will also be granted automatic citizenship, as they are affiliated with Labubloxians. Dual citizenship is permitted. Citizens who are aged below 12 can hold a biometric card known as the IdentitiKanak. That card will be upgraded to the slightly larger IdentitiRemaja card once the holder turns 12. And finally, when the holder turns 18, they will be eligible to own the IdentitiLBX card. The aforementioned cards will have to be registered by the PIN.
Demographics: Religion
The national federal constitution, the Perlembagaan Negara Labublox, permits freedom of religion. Any religion can be practised by anybody, as long as it doesn't harm the 'national integrity' of the state. According to the 2025 population census, the majority of the Labubloxian population, or around 46.9%, practise Christianity. 12.5% practise Islam, 12.3% practise Robloxic religions (e.g. Robloxism or Noobism), 9.9% practise Ruddhism and other Luobese religions, 6.64% practise Hindubloxism, 5.7% practise Telamonism, 3.5% practise Ro-Sikhism, and the remaining 2.56% practise other religions or practise no religion at all. From the results of the census, the three main religions in Labublox are Christianity, Islam and the Robloxic religions combined. Almost all Robloxputera citizens practise at least one of these three religions, with only a reported 1.21% who don't practise any of these three religions, and 0.91% who are multi-religious.
More intricate censuses conducted by the Jabatan Statistik Negara and other bodies will be documented in this section. According to a 2024 joint census conducted by both the Jabatan Statistik Negara and the Association of Labubloxian Christians (ALC), there are five main documented branches of Christianity found within the Christian population of Labublox. 48.2% of the Christian population practise Catholicism (particularly Roman Catholicism), 23.7% practise Protestantism, 14.6% practise Oriental Orthodoxism, 7.9% practise Keanism and the remaining 5.6% practise Eastern Orthodoxism.
According to another joint census conducted by the Jabatan Statistik Negara and the Al'Sultat Al'Islamiyyat Al-Aoulyya Fi Wilayat-Labubluks (Grand Muslim Authority of the State of Labublox) in 2017, Sunni Islam was found to be the majority branch of Islam practised by the Islamic population, with an overwhelming 96% of the Islamic population practising Sunni Islam. According to the Robloxic Order of Borneo, the majority of the Robloxic population practises Robloxism. Lastly, according to the 2025 population census, citizens who are documented as part of the 2.56% of the national population who don't practise any religion or practise other religions are mostly Atheists. Members of cults are rarely found within the country as cults are heavily shunned and looked down upon by the government and the MODKEB.
Demographics: Languages
Bloxlish and New Luobese are the two official languages of Labublox. The main reason why the federal government chose Bloxlish as a national language is because the language can be used as a language to unite all Labubloxians, similarly to how New Luobese functions in New Luobu. It is also the lingua franca of international trade, making it easier for Labubloxians to communicate with business partners from abroad. Formerly, Bloxlish was the only de facto official language of Labublox until 1981, when the National Linguistic Act of 1981 was created and enforced, stating that New Luobese is also an official language of Labublox.
The variant of New Luobese used as the official language of Labublox is the native New Luobese variant. This variant of New Luobese is primarily spoken in countries like New Luobu or Bloxapore. The previous official terminology of this particular variant was 'Bahasa Luobu Baru Labublox'. However, in 1982, to prevent reverse linguistic terminology appropriation (since the variant was originally from New Luobu), the federal government swiftly altered the terminology to be known as just 'Bahasa Luobu Baru', as it is currently known to this day. The National Linguistic Order of 1981 specifies the Latin script as the official script of the New Luobese language as a whole, however usage of the traditional Rawi script is not prohibited.
There exists the Zargistani variant of New Luobese, which is used more commonly in everyday communication and media, however the government chose the native New Luobese variant as it is more common and widespread across the Baoji region. However, this variant is still considered a second language alongside Luobese and Ro-Tamil, and can be used in certain official contexts. The Robloxian language is also a very popular language in the country, earning more than 601,234 speakers.
Lablish, or Labubloxian Creole, is another common colloquial form of Bloxlish derived from Bloxian Bloxlish which is very unique to the country. It is the basilect form of Labubloxian Bloxlish, a local version of the Bloxlish language which is more commonly used in business contexts. Lablish is filled with heavy New Luobese, Ro-Tamil, Luobese, Tavukian, Robloxian and indigenous influences. As an example, the Lablish term for the word 'give' is 'onway', derived from the Bloxdazandusun word for 'give', which is 'onuai'. The federal government actively discourages the use of this language in anything other than everyday communication, and will issue fines or compounds to anybody who use what is perceived as improper Bloxlish on their advertisements.
Diplomatic Relations with Other Countries
Labublox has a long list of allies. Every single country that maintains diplomatic relations with Labublox (except countries whose diplomatic relations are strictly monitored by Labublox) is considered an ally of the country. Multiple countries have recognized Labublox on September 3, 1980, the day that Labublox officially gained independence. Certain countries (e.g. Tovokian Federation or Robloxia) would have their diplomatic relations (with Labublox) strictly monitored by Labublox. This is often due to problems occuring within said countries.
