== | '''Roo Island''' is a [[Mini-World]] in [[Neopia]] ruled by [[King Roo]], a [[Blumaroo]]. It is a small (approximately 50 miles by 100 miles) island situated 30 miles east off the coast of [[Neopia Central]] and connected by a rainbow. The weather in Roo Island is very temperate, with hot summers and cold winters. It's the wettest in the spring and fall months. | ||
The palace area in the center is the largest city on the island and is home to the biggest [[Dice-a-Roo]] tournament in Neopia. According to the [[Neopedia]] article on [[Count Von Roo]], one of the regions of Roo Island is called Blumaria, which is in the northern area of the Island. | |||
==Inhabitants== | |||
Roo Island is heavily populated with Blumaroos. According to a survey done for an old Neopedia article, 95% of the population of 275,000 inhabitants are Blumaroos (4/5 Blumaroos are born there). Several of the buildings are designed to resemble Blumaroos, particularly the palace of King Roo, and the [[Colouring Pages]] building is reminiscent of a Blumaroo tail. For those non-Blumaroos, all buildings in the shopping district are shaped like little huts. | Roo Island is heavily populated with Blumaroos.
