'''Roo Island''' is a small (approximately 50 miles by 100 miles) island of Neopia situated 30 miles east off the coast of [[Neopia Central]] and connected by a rainbow. For years, Roo Island has been the home of the fun loving and energetic Blumaroos, ruled over by their wise monarch, King Roo. There are three main towns on Roo Island: Roo City, Blumaria, and the Art District. Each of the towns is connected via a well-kept road, and trade caravans are not uncommon. There are also a handful of little villages dotted around the island.

==History==
Roo Island was first released on 19 June 2003. In [[The Case of the Missing King]] - the [[Neocash]] component of the [[Daily Dare]] in 2012 - players were invited to help [[Lulu]] catch the bugs that had invaded Roo Island. Once they were all caught on 27 March, a redesigned map was released.  


==Attractions==


===Roo City===
'''Roo City''' is the largest town on the island and is home to the royal Roo Palace, home of [[King Roo]]. The [[Dice-A-Roo]] Tournament Hall is located in Roo City. Though it was originally intended for town hall meetings, the Tournament Hall, once a year, houses the biggest Dice-a-Roo tournament in [[Neopia]], but smaller games can be played every day.
:*'''Games:''' [[Deadly Dice]], [[Dice-a-Roo]]


==Roo City==
===Blumaria===
{|align=right
'''Blumaria''' is a bustling port city on the south side of Roo Island. Ships carrying tourists from all over [[Neopia]] arrive daily. The town's famous boardwalk surrounds the bay and contains the majority of the Island's shops. But the boardwalk's main attraction is, of course, the Game Room. To celebrate his love of games, [[King Roo]] ordered this massive building constructed in the heart of Blumaria. Travellers from every corner of [[Neopia]] to visit the Game Room to earn [[Neopoint|NP]] and, more importantly, have fun.

==Inhabitants==
==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.

Known as "the underdogs of the cup", Roo Island shock all int the first cup when a small team from a small island made all the way to 4th place. With an average finish of 4th place, their is no doubt that Roo Island is one of the best teams in the league. Roo Island won the [[Altador Cup]] in 2008 and though they suffered from the "Winner's Curse" worse than any other team, they were also the quickest to recover.
