Neon

The Democratic Republic of Neon is the
largest and most powerful region on Zearth. The region was united in 2011 (Premium
city) after their victory in the mob war. Zeon is the largest city and the
capital, but the head government is in Premium. Neon is currently ruled by
President Gax Prixton which is the regions 5th president and serves
the region as a federal democratic republic. Neon is the world’s largest peninsula
& is divided by 12
provinces, these are Zeon, Premium, Glow, Kloomon,
Nabur, Petreville, Veinrose, Riverstone, Konjiki, Kampes, Indutae and Aperta.
Neon has 4 major cities, these are Zeon City, Premium City, Kloomon City and
Glow City. It borders Cepton in the south and shares a maritime border with
Nova. Corsairs point located north of the Kloomonian coastline are owned by the
region of Santoria, whom also share a maritime border with Neon. The region is
surrounded by the Bofamic ocean and Envy ocean in the north east for the Nabur
islands. Neonian`s are nationalists, well-educated and rich.

Neon has a total area of 9 880 000 bm2, and a
population of 72 000 000 (as of May 2019). The coastline stretches
all around the region before hitting both the east and west Ceptonian borders. Neon
also claims a large portion of islands in the Bofamic & envy ocean. Some
notable ones being Nabur, Petreville, Parrot and Solitaria island. Neon has
both administrative and political subdivisions on two levels: provinces and
municipalities. Neon is a founding member of the United Regions and the
G7. Neon maintains a universal health care and a comprehensive social
security system, and its values are rooted in egalitarian ideals.

The Neonian government has large ownership positions in key industrial
sectors, having extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber,
seafood, and freshwater. The petroleum industry accounts for around a
fifth of the country's gross domestic product (GDP). On a per-capita basis,
Neon is the third largest producer of oil and natural gas in the world.

The region has the fourth-highest per capita income in the
world on the World Bank list. Neon has a high Human Development Index ranking
in the world and previously had the highest inequality-adjusted ranking until
2018 when Nova moved to the top of the list. Neon has one of the lowest crime
rates in the world.

### History

**Prehistory**
The first inhabitants are said to have been western
colonizers coming with boats from a conflicted region. Most of the supply had been
lost during the escape, but a lot of farmers and architects were brought with
them. They were strong believers of Notch and claimed any new extended land as
their own in the name of god. As a result of this a large portion of land went
under the jurisdiction of these people. The Cryzler temple was constructed in
the heart of Plaza mountain & represented the strength of heaven and hell
with the concept of time representing man. The temple tributes Notch and is in
Plaza district Zeon city, preserved by the Neonian government. More temples
were built close to the Cryzler monument as the people believed it would keep
them safe from all evil. The Cryzler was in a hilly mountain with snow lands to
the east, a large lake to the west and forestland to the north. This diverse
biome change gave people all sorts of different riches to feast from and
boosted the quick progress of the colony.

**Mob war (2010-2011)**
About 1 month had passed since the first settlement,
and progress on the Cryzler temple was looking staggering. First roads (Diamond
road) & bridges (Carter bridge) were developed as well as households in the
southern district behind the temple. After Xoyjaz`s journey to expand the land,
the explorers decided to split it up into districts: Plaza, downtown (North/South),
Pedget and Woyls village.

With everything still very much in
progress, the political parties were set to make a big governmental &
economical move to advance the new settlements order. Unfortunately, these
decisions had to be put on hold as a dangerous war was about to break out.
Exact dates of this incident are unknown but early October 2010 the settlement
was attacked by a horde of vandalizing mobs. All districts were under heavy
attack & damaged by the opposition. The threat was to great and it was too
dangerous staying in the districts. This resulted immediately into a combat
response between man and mob. Construction work & agriculture were all left
behind to receive no progress over the next time period. Politicians, woman and
their children were brought to safety and out of the battle zone. People would
hide in underground bases or mountain caverns while the war was undergoing.
Chaos spread quickly as there was no real organization of anything anymore,
people were scared and desperate for someone to take charge and action during
these war times. Their only hope was to pray for the gods which General Xoyjaz
disputed as he never was a firm believer of their unnatural powers. Looking for
Nexus to make a political move, Xoyjaz realized instant action was needed. Late
October 2010 as Nexus had failed bringing the population together for great
retaliation, General Xoyjaz proclaimed himself as emperor and united all the
districts into a city naming it Xoyjaz city. A small group of people disagreed
with his decision to crown himself emperor, so they went against him & his
policies in all secret. These people established themselves as the Cepton
movement. Xoyjaz also claimed to be the only God and claimed the temples as his
domain.

At the end of 2010, the Emperor had
already conquered most of the land owned by the hostile mobs. Many hard battles
were fought to claim land on both sides, but as time passed on the mobs never
seemed to surrender. Meanwhile new land was discovered in the south and a new
town (Yashar Town) was founded. Most of the battles would take place in Xoyjaz
city or in the outskirts, while Yashar town hosted shelter for the civilians
& politicians. The Emperor conquered this new land and made it his empire;
the capital would remain as Xoyjaz city. It was very important for the Emperor
regain back power in this city. Even though Xoyjaz city had the largest
settlements of locations & builds, Yashar town had bigger plans at this point.
Xoyjaz city was much more reminiscent of a war zone at this point, divided into
a land of hostile mobs and emperor warriors battling over territory.

More people were forced to move out of the
city and establish a new life in Yashar town, where there was better resources
and environmental conditions to live by. People of the Cepton movement did not
believe the new settlement in the south would keep them safe from the war &
couldn’t stand the new Xoyjaz regime, so they parted from the empire and
founded a new settlement further south (This settlement would later go on to
become the Cepton region).

Going into the new year of 2011, Xoyjaz`s empire was
under heavy attack from both hostile mobs and undercover sabotages from the
Ceptonian movement. In order to change people’s attention during these dark
periods, he introduced football as a distraction. The Emperor started many new
building projects, structures like Tower of Milad and Emperor stadium were all
part of this project during that time. Staying away from Xoyjaz city and letting
the army handle the losing war, Emperor Xoyjaz had no other choice then to take
battle into his own hands once again. February of 2011, he launched a huge
offense towards Xoyjaz city coming from the harsh winter conditions of the
south east to support inner city soldiers. As the Emperor left the power
position in Yashar city (formerly known as Yashar town), the new appointed
general Rahib Xoyjaz gained temporary leadership of the empire. In the
long-awaited battling months, no progress was seen to show from Emperor Xoyjaz
and his men. Casualties kept rising and more money was being spent into the
military. People were exhausted and kept starving from harsh conditions of the
war.

During this time Yashar city was starting to grow into
a modern society. Under the leadership of General Rahib Xoyjaz they had built
new households, buildings, banks and much more. Hard battles in the north
forced the Xoyjaz regime down south to Yashar city and at this point Rahib
Xoyjaz actioned to advance his own military tactics with the help of his very
own trusted colonels and warriors (Diamond & Gold). Ceptonians would also
join this fight in favor of Rahib Xoyjaz & protecting their heritage. Their
strongest warrior (Emerald warrior) alongside the rebellious army of Rahib Xoyjaz
crushed almost all resistance. In august 2011 General Rahib Xoyjaz and his army
had successfully defeated the mobs ending the yearlong mob war once and for
all.

**Birth of Neon**
The success of Rahib Xoyjaz had been recognized
throughout the province. A long battle fought for peace alongside Ceptonians,
the city of Xoyjaz had finally fallen into the emperor’s hands. After a
difficult period, the Xoyjaz regime fell apart. A new democratic government was
established with the freedom party as the leading power in control. Xoyjaz city
was renamed Zeon city & Yashar city was renamed Premium city. The leader of
the freedom party Nexus had passed away a month before the Mob war (October
2010 – August 2011) ended.

With the new government taking charge, Rahib Xoyjaz was elected to lead
the new regime. The region of Neon was established with Zeon as its capital
city. Emperor Xoyjaz was crowned King under the power of the new government.
The monarchy had nothing more than pride to hold onto, everything was
controlled by the democratic Neon government from that day on. The parliament
of Neon was built in Premium city where the government was established and
Xoyjaz (Formerly known as Rahib Xoyjaz) became the first president of Neon.

**1st Building revolution**
President Xoyjaz next challenge was rebuilding a
fallen empire & protect the new region with everything he had. His plan was
to make Neon into a solid fortress, *"United*
and loyal until the mountains of Plaza crumble" *is a very known phrase*
amongst Neonian’s originally birthed from president Xoyjaz`s most famous
speech: “If Cryzler falls, we fall”.

Zeon was his main priority, so he built a 64-block tall obsidian wall
known as the great wall around it to keep any intruders outside the city limits.
People would need permission to leave the cities and a lot more control
stations were built around the region. Large number of light sources were
strategically placed in the inner-city districts as well as popular travel
paths. Zeon & Premium would also get bordered with fence walls around it
for maximum security.

Military forces were cut, and spending’s were invested into local police
forces. President Xoyjaz was certain his protection spending’s would be enough
to keep any danger away since he despised using any military force due to his
horrific past with the army. Military bases were shut down and more police
stations were built in the cities. Most of the regional budget went into
building up the inner cities as urban culture raised even more each day.

Affording this huge investment required a lot of resources and therefore
spending’s had to be cut elsewhere. Chances of putting the region into economic
crisis were high, but it was a risk he was willing to make in order to reach
his dream vision for the region. He would open trade deals with Cepton and even
let companies cross over to each other as well as giving people cross regional
jobs. The government also started the Glow project during this period, which
was a huge failure and was ended shortly after. Neon looked completely
different after a short period of time. Nature had vanished under the city
landscape as tall buildings were roaming the new land of Neon.

**Neon-Cepton union**
In the aftermath of an intense war period, a new
challenge presented itself to build up the fallen Neon region. The new thriving
government of Neon encouraged all people to take part of this massive
rebuilding process known as the 1. Building revolution. Meanwhile the Cepton
region was founded in the south by a Ceptonian council. The Ceptonian movement
had the resources and time to build a whole new regime. Their beliefs were
based on Notch as the first and only creator, so they had finished building a
huge monument honoring Notch`s greatness.

Neon economy was much more advanced and
way ahead of Cepton. The Neon government prioritized growing their new modern
society and taking advantage of all resources their land had to offer. This new
and powerful Neon started to get worldwide recognition in the world of Zearth.
Their trade deals started increasing and more regions were interested in
starting their businesses in the region. Neon used to provide Cepton everything
they needed to build up their economy and region. This resulted in the “Zeon
treaty”, where Neon government would gain major control over Cepton territory
as part of their agreement. As time progressed you would see more Neonian flags
in Cepton, Neon police and companies expanding their seeds in the region.

The old mob war protection wall between
Neon and Cepton was now transformed into a border between the regions by the
Neon government to regulate traffic as Ceptonian’s tried getting into Neon for
work purposes. As the region of Cepton started growing under Neon supervision,
the government did not approve Ceptonian leadership. Instead the President of
Neon placed King Xoyjaz in power to rule Cepton. The king renamed Notch’s
temple in Jijilocity (Capital of Cepton) to King’s palace in favor of himself.
A large community in Cepton did not approved of this at all, so they took their
free speech to the streets of Jijilocity in demonstration. The king ignored the
protestants and it resulted into riots which was met with violent police forces
putting people down.

As a punishment the president of Neon
taxed Ceptonian citizens with higher import charge & property fees. The
whole idea of building a new Cepton faded away as Neon abused Cepton resources
directly to build their own region. A large amount of coal, iron & gas was
imported from Cepton to Neon. Cepton became Neon`s industrial theme park and
the people of Cepton had enough with the ongoing exploitation. Ceptonians felt
suppressed and grew tired of it while Neonian`s would visit to use their land
without paying taxes.

**The great exploration**
Known as the big expansion, the great exploration took
place in 2012 when a group of expeditioners took on the task to map out new
territory under the consent of Neon. More northern, eastern and western parts
were explored. In the south a whole new tropical biome was found, which later
become province of Kloomon. The east and west had oceans where a lot of islands
were mapped out. The biggest discovery was the Nabur islands in the east
Bofamic sea, where old artefacts were found in the desert biome. Neon`s
regional borders tripled in size and the expeditioners were granted the Medal
of Merit for their amazing efforts.

**2nd Building Revolution &**
**The great depression (2013-2014)**

As a part of Cepton breaking out of the union, Neon
was left facing a huge economic crisis. President Gold Xoyjaz started new funds
and risky building investments that took a huge hit on the economy. This
started the 2. Building revolution that took place in Neon. Cities received
major changes in their infrastructure as huge renovations & construction
work took place. Few major corporations could expand their network throughout
the region on the premises of paying more taxes (Prixton company, Blue
corporations, Union bank are some few companies mentioned). These trade deals
and investments helped expand Neon`s economy even more, giving the regions
first stock market & building the Neon World trade center was built (2013).
In 2013 all cities in Neon were connected with national roads (In 2019 every
populated location in Neon had been connected with roads).

In the mist of losing business relationships on Cepton ground, a lot of
businesses went bankrupt and banks had hard time paying people off due to the
crisis. The government would keep spending money on new building projects,
putting them in high debt.

In 2014 the Neon government acted in a falsification of documents known
as the Looptrick Scandal, revealing huge leaks about their GDP values and other
highly classified information. It was said 2014 was Neon`s highest GDP value,
when it factually was their worst year to date.

**Neon & Cepton turmoil**
By the time of summer 2015, both regions had made
headlines again as the tension was compared to the great suppression of 2012.
Cepton was recognized as a leading superpower, while Neon was still on the rise
to restore its glory. Past events between the regions had kept the tension in a
cold period. Most noticeable the declaration of independence of Cepton and the
decision of not removing the border wall between the regions had kept the
regions on their guard. Neonian intel had gathered information about a 5
billion Emerald (Em) deal determined by the Cepton parliament to convict a
military program. The Delta program involved building the regions first
independent army, which stunned the Neonian government to raise questions. The
presidential party suggested their response to the delta with the echo program.

The process for approval had to go through
many steps before they could launch their military program. Neonian government
had sworn through the Qualdron order in 2011 after the mob war, to put all
military down and invest in police forces, walls & light sources to prevent
any new mob attack. This had the Neonian people furious, riots had emerged in
both cities of Jijilocity and Zeon city to protest the rise of any army from
both regions. In 2016 the Neon government agreed to go further with their Echo
program, increasing the tension between the north & the south even more.
Major import deals between the regions fell apart and most recognizable was the
Petreville port which shut down in result of this.

**Industrial revolution**
The Echo program blossomed a whole new generation of
industrial growth in Neon. Construction work begun on material producing
industries in the cities that had new large districts built around them. This populated
all the new cities of Neon even more and helped grow the inner-city districts
even larger. More people were employed to work in these factories and the
districts attracted more businesses. Petreville import station was built out
even more to now connect all the industry parks together. Neon built their
largest harbor in Glow city, making themselves a very important trade region in
the world. A huge innovation in gas technology, coal and iron was made building
their economy back to a solid state. A lot more companies interested investing
into the region along with new regional trade deals that were made. Neon would
no longer be held back by depth, as the country’s GDP was rising.

**New presidency (2017-2019)**
The Neonian people were very excited for the 2017
presidential election. President Coppercut was running up against Gax Prixton
from the Novantic party. As it was said “Running for congress had never been
this challenging”. The controversial president had mixed support from both his
peers and the people. Neonian’s did not want to engage in a war with Cepton
& did not support his Echo program. His work for the industrial revolution
was praised leaving the region in a crossfire.

Gax Prixton went through with his campaign in favor of the Novantic party.
The Novantic party inherited old democratic beliefs used in Nova. Prixton corp.
grouped the political party in Neon to what it is today. Neonian nationalists
did not support this foreign parties’ origin, but Gax being native Neonian it
didn’t matter to much.

On April 7, 2017, Gax Prixton
defeated President Coppercut, making him the President of Neon with majority of
the votes. Picking up where Coppercut had left, he quickly turned the military
tension around by organizing the UR and G7. In his earlier days with the power
of the industrial revolution, the whole region of Neon would undergo the
largest construction & renovation project known to Neon known as the 3rd Building Revolution.

**Neon-Cepton border**
The threat of an attack in Ceptonian territory during
the mob war was deemed as high, and so a military force was recruited
patrolling alongside a border wall created between the two lands. During union
times the wall was used as a border control pass between the regions and once
the union broke up, Cepton decided not to take down the wall. Ever since the UR
commission was established in Neon, it has become easier to cross the border
then before. Some still suggest taking down the border is the better option.
During recent UR council meetings, Cepton have suggested to extend their
borders into Neon where they claim to own land. The Wake islands, east of the
Neon-Cepton border, has started a territorial dispute in which Neon claims to
own the Temsah island, while Cepton claim the rights to all the Wake islands.

Some speculations suggest that in the
aftermath of the “Maritime border agreement for all regions” by the UR
commission, that the two superpowers fight to extend their borders into newly
discovered oil fields. Some even suggest Cepton are planning to make artificial
military islands just to extend their borders further and claim more fields.
The race for territorial gain is being monitored by Neon region and do spark some
heat between the regions.

### Geography

**Environment**
The geo landscape of Neon is formed by old Alpha and
Beta terrain, giving it hilly spikes in the center, flatter surfaced terra in
the northern and southern parts of the region and vast snow landscapes in the
east. Neon has 2 majors lakes and 6 smaller ones, quite few lakes and bay area. Approximately 50% of the region’s surface is covered in forestation. The longest river
(Konjiki) crosses through the region from the Devon pass (west) to the Premium
pass (east). The Nabur islands are covered in 40% forest and 60% dry desert.
Nabur Island is a collective of 3 islands that is divided by a river. The
tallest mountain is Mt. Klogax 106 B.A.S.L located north west of Kloomon city
& the second tallest mountain is in Alpine village 93 B.A.S.L. The longest
mountain range is Mt. Ripper located in Zeon with an area of 96 000 bm2.
Neon has a lot of islands both in of the coast and the inner lands claiming
about 50 islands in total.

**Climate**
Neon has a very diverse climate throughout the region.
Tropical in the north, forests in the north east, snow lands in the south east
and lush forests in the south west. 60% of the Nabur Islands are covered in dry
desert and the rest being dry forest land.

**Biodiversity**
The Neon region has great diversity in its climates
and weather, leading to incredible biodiversity throughout the region and some
unique species only found in some places. Recent building for settlements and
other uses have threatened the ecosystem of some places, and endangered some
species living in unique situations. The geography of Neon ranges from plains
and forests to jungles to tall snowy mountains and deserts. These varied
climates create many different ecosystems for biodiversity to flourish. The
Neon government has recently created policies to protect biodiversity as a whole
and has also created initiatives to protect specific endangered species, as
well as funded some NGOs (non-government organizations) dedicated to the
protection of biodiversity.

History
Early settlers contributed greatly to the biodiversity in the Neon region, as
the movement of these settlers spread plants and animals throughout the region
and allowed them to adapt and evolve for these different climates. As well, many
new species of plants evolved when settlers selected specific traits that best
suited their farming needs. A biologist by the name of Margarita Schwartz
dedicated her life to the study and documentation of biodiversity in Neon. Dr.
Schwartz is credited with creating the basic guide for identification of plants
and animals in Neon, a guide which is still used by many biologists and
scientists today. Dr. Schwartz documented many unique species, including the
tomato clownfish. She is recognized as the most important individual in the
history of Neon biodiversity studies.

Efforts to improve biodiversity
The government in Neon has implemented a program to promote and fund the
preservation of biodiversity. In Petreville, environmental activists have
joined together in an effort to preserve the butterflies, and after a petition
was signed by many, the government has pledged money to the effort. As well,
the government has implemented a program on Nabur to preserve the wildlife and
prevent destruction of the natural habitats of the species living there. The
government has planned to budget money for nature and biodiversity preservation
efforts in the next budget.

**Politics and government**

**Administrative divisions**
Neon, a unitary region, is divided into ten
first-level administrative provinces and two none self-governed provinces.
The provinces are administrated through directly elected province assemblies
who elect the province Governor. Additionally, the President and government are
represented in every province by Governor. As such, the Government is directly
represented at a local level through the province Governors' offices. The provinces
are then sub-divided into second-level municipalities, which in turn are
administrated by directly elected municipal council, headed by a mayor and a
small executive cabinet.

Nabur Island and Indutae are both provinces with administrative
divisions in Premium city, with no local administrative centre.

**The provinces of Neon are:**

**Qualdron Order**
The Qualdron order is the supreme court of Neon. The
original order consisted of the President, the king, three royal Qualdron
families and two regional justices. The 4th reformed order has two
more regional justices (4 in total) and a non-active king seat.

Each regional justice judge makes 10% of the total votes, the president
makes 30% of the votes, the king makes 10% and each royal Qualdron family
member makes 5% of the votes. The regional justice judges higher voted judges
from the most powerful provinces in Neon, those being Zeon, Premium, Kloomon
and Glow province.

**Largest cities**

**Judicial system and law enforcement**
The Neonian government, while delegating many of its
legal duties to independent cities, has recently adopted federalist ideals into
their justice system including a supreme court in Premium, the highest appeals
court in Neon and a Ministry of justice, a semi-independent executive ministry
tasked with upholding fair legal practices.

Citizens may be tried in two courts, a common law court and a criminal
court. A common law court is a court in which citizens may be tried by other
citizens in civil disputes. The criminal court is a court in which a publicly
elected prosecutor tries people for crimes against the criminal code. Those
convicted in the common law court may only appeal in the common appeals court,
however their conviction usually ends up with financial penalties.

**Foreign relations**
Following the Mob War
(2010-2011), the Neon region began to expand the role of government and improve
the effectiveness of peacetime governing. Unlike before the Mob War, the Neon
government shifted the responsibility of the foreign ministry away from the military
and into the hands of civilian control. At the end of President Xoyjaz the
Great’s office, the foreign ministry communicates regularly with all regions in
Zearth and extended economic and security deals with foreign regions. Although
the Royal Military would no longer solely control Neon’s foreign policy, it
would continue to manage Neon’s security commitments and would oversee the
regions security. Today, the Neon Royal Military oversees the regions alleged
nuclear program, its armed forces, its navy and air force. The foreign
department today oversees the region’s economic, diplomatic, and cultural
relations with other regions.

**Military**
The Royal Neonian Armed Forces numbers about 200 000
personnel, including civilian employees. According to 2016 mobilization plans,
full mobilization produces approximately 600 000 combatant personnel. Neon
has conscription (including 6–12 months of training). The Armed
Forces are subordinate to the Neonian Ministry of Defense. The
Commander-in-Chief is Gax Prixton. The military of Neon is divided into
the following branches: the Neonian Army, the Royal Neonian Navy, the Royal
Neonian Air Force, The Neonian Cyber Defense Force and The Regional guard.

The Royal Neonian army had been removed between
2011-2016 due to previous presidential decisions. The military was made in 2016
after the president commission approved of the Echo program.

### Economy

**Resources**
Oil industry
Oil production has been central to the Neonian economy
since 2014, with a dominating state ownership.

Export revenues from oil and gas have risen to almost 50% of total
exports and constitute more than 20% of the GDP. Neon is the fifth-largest oil
exporter and fourth-largest gas exporter in the world.

The government controls its petroleum resources through a combination of
state ownership in major operators in the oil fields (with approximately 62%
ownership in Prixton company in 2014) and the fully state-owned company State
Oil. Finally, the government controls licensing of exploration and production
of fields. The fund invests in developed financial markets outside Neon. The
budgetary rule is to spend no more than 6% of the fund each year (assumed to be
the normal yield from the fund).

Between 2014 and 2019, Neonian companies drilled 200 oil wells, mostly
in the eastern envy ocean. Of these 169 are in regular production, 21
are exploration wells and 10 have been terminated.

Biggest oil fields are the Bofamic Oil Field—calculated size in 2018,
15–54 million barrels of oil and 4 to 20 billion cubic feet of gas.
And the Envy Oil Field—calculated size 54 million barrels of oil, and 2 to
7 billion cubic feet of gas.

Fish industry
Neon is also the world's second-largest exporter of
fish. Fish from fish farms and catch constitutes the second largest (behind
oil/natural gas) export product measured in value.

Electricity
Hydroelectric plants generate roughly 98–99% of
Neon's electric power, more than any other country/region in the world.

Mineral resources
Neon has a significant amount of mineral resources,
and in 2019, its mineral production was valued at GN1 billion (Neonian
Geological Survey data). The most valuable minerals are limestone, building
stone, iron, coal, redstone, nickel, gold and diamond.

**Transport**
In recent years there have been more projects to
develop public transportation in Neon. The region has a long-standing water
transport tradition, but the Neonian Ministry of Transport and
Communications has in recent years implemented new rail, roads, and air
transport through numerous subsidiaries to develop the region's infrastructure.

The regions two largest international airports are in Zeon city (Ziptip
national airport est. 2011) & Premium city (Premium airport est. 2015).
Kloomon city and Petreville both have domestic airports. Glow city &
Kloomon city have ferry stations that do domestic and international travel
routes. Each city has a subway system running through them and they are all
connected with railways through many different line systems. The region has one
speed rail system running through Glow city and Zeon city ending in Premton
town.

### Demographics

**Population**

**Migration**
In 2012 a large community of Neonian’s migrated over
to Cepton for work purposes during the Zeon treaty. Other groups of Neonian’s
would also migrate to Nova and Santoria region early 2017. Migration policy
requires a travel or work visa enter the region. While most countries/regions
do have it easier travelling into Neon, travel visa for Ceptonian’s are
stricter and more regulated.

**Religion**
Notchism (80%) and Xoyanity (18%) are mostly practiced
in Neon. About 40% of the population practice these religious beliefs.

Notchism comes from the belief that Notch is the creator of all and is
said to be the oldest practiced religion do date.

Xoyanity originated during the days of the mob war, as Emperor Xoyjaz
claimed himself to be the only true prophet of god. “You can make a religion
out of this!” quoted by someone.

**Health**
Neon was awarded first place according to the UR's Human
Development Index (HDI) for 2018. In the 2010s, by contrast, poverty
and communicable diseases dominated in Neon together with famines and
epidemics. From the 2012`s, improvements in public health occurred as a result
of development in several areas such as social and living conditions,
changes in disease and medical outbreaks, establishment of the health care
system, and emphasis on public health matters. Vaccination and increased
treatment opportunities with antibiotics resulted in great improvements within
the Neonian population. Improved hygiene and better nutrition were factors that
contributed to improved health.

The disease pattern in Neon changed from communicable diseases to
non-communicable diseases and chronic diseases as cardiovascular disease.
Inequalities and social differences are still present in public health in Neon
today.

In 2015 the infant mortality rate was 2.5 per 1,000 live births among
children under the age of one. For girls it was 2.7 and for boys 2.3, which is
the lowest infant mortality rate for boys ever recorded in Neon.

**Education**
The Ministry of Education have decided the following educational
process mandatory for each citizen:

·       Primary education (1. Graduation)

·       Secondary education (2. Graduation)

·       Highschool education (3. Graduation)

Higher education in Neon is offered by a range of 6 universities and 1
private college. Education follows the Bologna

architects were inspired by Brovillian style and took it in use in Zeon and
Premium city. The style would be redefined over time, but the original
essentials are still seen in most Neonian architecture. The 2nd
building revolution led to more modern times as new skyscraper designs roamed
the cities.

Architects would push limits and give birth to a new converted style of
Brovillian, which can be found all over Zeon, Premium and Kloomon. This became
a more defined Neonian architecture, as the style was perfected during the 3rd
building revolution.

Foreign architects have also had their hands on the regions building

of architectural masterpieces.

west of Neon. As one of oldest settled communities in Neon, many historically
significant sites are located on the island including “King Emblem Tree” and
the “Petreville Church”. Since 2015, the island has modernized its
economy, government, and tourism which has caused conflict on the island
between traditionalists and those who are open to modernizing the island. Among
traditional voices on the island is the Petreville Freedom Party, a registered
political party who seeks to seek independence in Petreville.

with a similar housing style as Devon. Its most known for its caves rich with
minerals and the tower ruins on the west coast of Minora.

years been a popular destination for north Ceptonian farmers and locals to go
shopping for anything that is sold cheaper over the border. The town has
experienced more growth over the recent years and is planning to expand its
local shops for more revenue and variation.

**Centymental Orc Woods**

2012, this village had been kept hidden for many years. The village is located
in the Orc woods forest, which lies on the north coast of Neon. Scientist believe
the village is one of the oldest settlements in Neon and is said to date back
to 2010. As for the mysteries that surround the village, there have been few
speculations of unnatural phenomenon’s dating back to the early 2015’s. Some
people have rumored seeing scientists doing weird experiments in the caves,
hearing loud drilling noises during nighttime. This was later ruled out by
government officials, stating that sample testing was made only for future
potential cave mining. Nothing has been done ever since.

### Islands

**Petreville island**
The largest island in Neon has one of the oldest
settlements in the region. It’s the most western located land of Neon with an
area of 212 504 bm2. The island is mapped into 4 locations;
Petreville, Fort Huston, Peridot and Casbah. Petreville island has an oceanic
climate with a hilly terrain in the north west and a sandy terrain combined
with low land forests on the other half of the island. Petreville is a popular
destination for hikers and sailors alongside its sprawling wildlife. The
island has several docks for boats and a domestic airport.

The species found in Petreville are typically the same found in all of
Neon, except for the butterfly population. This area in Neon has many small
mammals, fish, and birds, as well as many insects.  Petreville, due to its location and climate,
is home to thirty-seven different species of butterfly, sixteen of which are
only found in Petreville. Due to recent development and building, 3 of those
species have become endangered, and efforts are being made to preserve these
unique butterflies.

**Solitaria island**
The 2016 economic boom left several companies
investing partnerships with Kloomon city. The city had gained much popular
attention for investors, and in the late 2016’s the Favvion investor Tenna had
made his 10 000 000 GN island deal with Kloomon. The resort is
private owned under the regulations of Kloomon city. Solitaria is located west
of Kloomon and can be reached with the local ferry or boats. The island is a
popular destination for tourist visitors with a tropical oceanic climate, mild rainy winters, and warm rainless
summers. The total area of the island is
12 960 bm2.

**Nabur island**
The Nabur Islands are the eastern geographical limit
of Neon, where it shares the maritime border with Nova. The three islands of
Kuma, Naburo and Iawa make up the Nabur Islands. Naburo island, which is the
most east island, closest to Nova, is unofficially claimed by Nova. This
statement has created a territorial dispute between the two regions. The total area of the island is 588 874 bm2. The islands have the most diverse
wildlife compared to any other location in Neon. Nabur is an island mostly made up of sprawling desert, although it also
contains dense forests, which have recently become very popular for campers and
adventurers.

The increased human activity has had a negative impact for the
biodiversity in the forests, as many of the animals are nocturnal and are being
disturbed in their natural habitats and are unable to hunt effectively, as
campers often scare away the prey for these animals. A species especially
impacted by this human activity is a small bat exclusive to Nabur forests, the
Nabur Brown Bat. This bat hunts during the nighttime, but constant activity by
humans has made this bat afraid to hunt and the status of the species has been
recognized as endangered. Some nature activists are protesting and calling for
nature preserves to be established on Nabur.

**Parrot island**
Located west of the Nabur Islands, known for its
tropical habitat and exotic wildlife. The island is covered in a dense jungle
forest, with few local private residences. The island is open for limited amount
of tourism and host a yearly tropical festival during springtime.

**Pentecoast Island**
Pentecoast Island lies north west of
the Nabur Islands. Covering a staggering surface of 11 000 bm2.
The island is currently property owned but visitors are free to visit. The
island surface engages in a lush natural environment and great coastal beach
surfaces. The perfect paradise for the curious traveler.

**Corsairs point**
Corsairs port is a small
island belonging to the Region of Santoria off the Northwest coast of Neon.
Once a prolific trading stop, it is now isolated and relies on its primary
source of revenue, mining exports. Anonymous sources note the island suffers from
a deep wealth divide, inequality, and suggests that the majority of its
workforce likely comes from the region of Santoria as indentured slaves. While
the island holds a large palace, its governance is thought to be controlled by
the Vizier’s commission, a body of civil servants selected by the Grand Vizier,
Ra’id Sarraf Shah. While foreigners are allowed open access to the island,
tourism is not common, and the island remains largely self-sufficient.
