'''Neopia''' (either from [[wikipedia:Ancient Greek|Ancient Greek]] ''[[wiktionary:&#x03BD;&#x03AD;&#x03BF;&#x03C2;|&#x03BD;&#x03AD;&#x03BF;&#x03C2;]]'' meaning "new" and ''[[wiktionary:&#x03c4;&#x03cc;&#x03c0;&#x03bf;&#x03c2;|&#x03c4;&#x03cc;&#x03c0;&#x03bf;&#x03c2;]]'' meaning "place", or ''[[Neopet]]'' and ''&#x03c4;&#x03cc;&#x03c0;&#x03bf;&#x03c2;'') is the [[wikipedia:extrasolar planet|extrasolar planet]] on and around which the events of the [[Neopets (website)|Neopets website]] take place. It is orbited by a single moon, [[Kreludor]], and a large [[Virtupets Space Station|Space Station]], both of which are also inhabited. Neopia is a [[wikipedia:goldilocks planet|goldilocks planet]], being in the [[wikipedia:habitable zone|habitable zone]] from its star, and is capable of sustaining many different forms of life. 

The phrase ''Neopia'' or ''World of Neopia'' may also refer to the [[Wikipedia:Fictional universe|fictional universe]] or reality in which all the Neopian activities take place. The entire planet operates on the [[NST]] timezone, which correlates with the [[wikipedia:Pacific Time Zone|Pacific Time Zone]] and its [[wikipedia:Daylight saving time|daylight savings]] changes. 

==Inhabitants== 
Neopia is inhabited by 55 different species of [[Neopet]]s. It is where most of these species originate - although [[Grundo]]s come from its moon Kreludor and [[Alien Aisha|certain Aishas]] come from a different home world. Neopets live in the planet's oceans, both on and under the planet's surface, and high above in the sky. It is also home to over 600 different species of [[Petpet]]s and 40 even smaller organisms called [[Petpetpet]]s. Neopets and Petpets can be [[colour|painted]] into an even more diverse range of appearances. It is also home to many [[Faeries]]. 

Neopia is also home to the [[Coco people]] of [[Mystery Island]] and the [[Snowbeast]]s and [[Snowager]] of [[Terror Mountain]]. It is unclear if [[Neopets]] users 'inhabit' the planet - although much of the site's content is addressed to the player, no [[wikipedia:human|human]]s are ever seen around the world or in [[plots]], except possibly the humanoid [[Tiki Tack Man]].

There is also a wide variety of [[wikipedia:plant|plant]]life resembling that on [[wikipedia:Earth|Earth]], including [[wikipedia:fern|fern]]s, [[wikipedia:grass|grass]] and [[wikipedia:tree|tree]]s. Certain trees in Neopia however are more animal like: trees in the [[Haunted Woods]] have mouths and eyes and some level of [[wikipedia:sapience|sapience]], as does the [[Money Tree]]. Most of these trees are [[NeoQuest 3D|quite gullible]] and [[The Brain Tree]] is described as "the only tree to have developed intelligence".

The seas of Neopia are filled with many varieties of fish, plant life and cephalopods as well as aquatic (freshwater & related) and [[Maraquan]] Neopets and Petpets. Neopia is also home to insect life in the form of [[Petpetpets]] and the [[Bug Brothers]], and mysterious [[wikipedia:supernatural|supernatural]] creatures like the [[Lava Ghoul]], [[Pant Devil]], and the [[Monocerous]].

==Worlds==
[[Image:Revolving neopia.png|thumb|upright=1.5|Neopia revolving. <small>[http://pinkpt.com/neodex/images/6/61/Revolving_neopia.png See bigger] or [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/images/b/bd/Revolving_neopia.gif more supported image].</small>|left]]
Neopia is divided into several regions called ''worlds'' or ''lands''. A world may be notable for its environment or climate as much as for its customs or rulers. Neighbouring worlds often contrast sharply in these respects. 

Worlds are typically themed after certain eras or places in Earth's history. The level of technology varies between worlds: the Virtupets Space Station has technology even greater than Earth standards, while residents of Meridell are still in Medieval times. 

However, some worlds possess technology that would be considered [[wikipedia:anachronistic|anachronistic]] on Earth in the era they represent: Medieval-themed Meridell recently invented the [[Skies Over Meridell|aeroplane]], prehistoric-themed [[Tyrannia]] possess [[Ugga Smash|stone automobiles]], and in the [[wikipedia:Ancient Egypt|Ancient Egypt]]ian-themed [[Lost Desert]], tanks [[Swarm - The Bugs Strike Back|have been used]] as a means of pest control. However, industry isn't widespread on Neopia, allowing for a low pollution rate, except in Mystery Island where visiting tourists have [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=7&id=41 caused a disturbance].

Before 1 March, 2006, only one side of the planet had been charted. As of October 2010, there are 19 visible worlds on the marked on Neopia's map, with new worlds being discovered occasionally in relation to site events or [[plot]]s:

Kreludor and Virtupets Space Station themselves, while being worlds, are not actually on the planet Neopia itself, but orbit it. They are featured on the world map, however, and in certain events featuring Neopian worlds - such as the [[Altador Cup]]. 

Almost all of these lands can be explored normally through the website, with the exception of Lutari Island, which when visited on the Neopets website can only be faintly seen through fog. Lutari Island floats around Neopia and is always on the move, and can only be accessed by those who use the (now defunct) [[Neopets Mobile]] service.

There are other lands which are either hidden from view, or can't be explored by normal means. There are four of these types of worlds:

===Climate===
The [http://www.neopets.com/weather.phtml climate and weather patterns] of Neopia vary from region to region and season to season. Exceptions to this rule are The Lost Desert which is always hot, Terror Mountain which is in constant winter, and the Virtupets Space Station and Kreludor, which have no weather because they are in space. 

Climates of neighbouring lands can be completely different to each other: for example, Terror Mountain's perpetual winter borders Tyrannia's tropical and arid climates. Weather in Neopia is [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=676 controlled both] by scientific principles as well as magic.
