Neopia is the planet (or sometimes referred to as the universe) in which Neopians exist on in the gaming website Neopets. All the events which occur on Neopets take place in and around Neopia. It is orbited by a single moon, Kreludor, and a large Space Station, both of which are inhabited.

Worlds

Neopia is divided into several regions called worlds. A world may be notable for its environment or climate as much as its customs and rulers, with neightboring areas usually contrasting sharply in these respects. as of July 1, 2007, there are 18 visable worlds on the map of Neopia, with new worlds being discovered occasionally in relation to site events (or plots)...

Maraqua Meridell Mystery Island Neopia Central Roo Island Shenkuu Terror Mountain Tyrannia Virtupets Space Station

Its should be noted Kreludor and the Virtupets Space Station are frequently counted as worlds, but they are not on the planet Neopia itself, but rather orbiting around it. Due to the words "The World of Neopia" on the exploring map in which Kreludor and the Virtupets Space Station also appear, it can be assumed they are considered part of Neopia despite not being physically part of the planet.

In addition to these worlds, there are other worlds not shown on the map, and are either too small to be noted on their own, or are basically a part of that other world. As of July 1, 2007, there are 3 worlds of this kind...

Darigan Citadel - Meridell Neovia - Haunted Woods Lost City of Geraptiku - Mystery Island

Almost all of these lands can be explored normally through Neopets, with the exception of Lutari Island, which when visited on Neopets can only be faintly seen through fog, due to the fact it's a floating island and always on the move. It can only be accessed by those who use the Neopets Mobile service.

However, there are also lands which are either hidden from view, or can't be explored by normal means. As of July 1, 2007, there are 3 of these types of worlds...

Jelly World Petaria Scurvy Island

Climate

The 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, which has no weather because it's in space. Some climates in contrast of neighboring worlds are completly different to each other, such are Terror Mountain, constantly in winter, next to Tyrannia, which is a combination of a tropical and desert climate. The placement of such climates next to each other have been long debated, if it has been caused and maintained by Faerie magic or was simply an error in planning by The Neopets Team.

World development

The "Other Side of Neopia", which has been unexplored for a very long time.

The development, history, and expansion of Neopia progesses slowly, with new worlds and parts of history being explored whenever a new plot is released. Much of the world is unknown to its inhabitants, especially the "Other Side of Neopia", which has remained unexplored until (need date). Because of this, even more worlds can be around Neopia, including the mysterious Jelly World, which has been visited countless times by Neopians yet never officially revealed.

The technological advancement and social customs differ from every world. Despite the Virtupets Space Station having technology even greater than Earth standards, residents of Meridell are still in Medieval times, only recently discovering the invention of the airplane, as seen in Skies Over Meridell. The technology is expanding however, as seen in Tyrannia where they haveall but accepted the use of automobiles (made of stone), using them in Ugga Smash, and in the Lost Desert where tanks are being used in Swarm - The Bugs Strike Back. However, industry isn't widespread on Neopia, allowing for a low pollution rate, except in Mystery Island where visiting tourists have caused a disturbance.
