Blop

Blop is the capital of Pusapom (the Poswob Empire). It is a small capital (human population about 45000 in the year 8743) for such a large empire. This is because humans are just one of many sepcies living there. It is very dangerous for humans, as an average of 5 humans are murdered every day by animals, primarily by monkeys, rabbits, and squirrels. None of these are natural predators of humans, they simply attack humans the way anyone would and it is considered a crime rather than "hunting". Thus, with disease added in, about 5% of the human population dies every year and Blop only survives because of constant immigration. Women are discouraged from having children because it is so violent, so anyone who isnt killed by animals tends to die with no descendants anyway. However, women are not considered "delicate" in this culture, and are treated as physical equals of men. Indeed women in Blop are about as strong as men.

Economy

Blop produces nothing of its own because its only purpose is to keep the govenrment of the Empire functioning and it is entirely funded by taxes. The only jobs other than gov't are cleaning up animal messes, and that is actually conxidered a govt job as well.

By head count, Blop is slightly below 50% human, with about 48000 humans and 53000 other animals. Rabbits are the second most numerous, followed by monkeys, and then ravens. Although humans are ideal prey for ravens, they are not often preyed upon, as ravens are good at controlling their appteitte and avoiding "spree kill" behavior. Moreover, ravens consider killing a human to be a crime, and most ravens lucky enough to live in Blop would not want to risk the punishment of being exiled.

Demographics
