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

As the most interpsieces city in thwe world, humans ar ejust trated as humans and languages etc dont matter much.,

Humans

Humans come from all over, but many come frtom Lypelpyp. The "native" Blop tribes (actually called Wababa) were extinct long aog, torn apart by eagles and even the prey of the eagles. Instead it is low0-income , high birthrate areas such as Lypelpyp tjhat provide the poplation,knowing they will die sortl;y aftyer getting there.

Rabbits

Rabbits are native to this area and most just hopped on in rather than having to be carried to Blop. Rabbits also consider Blop their capital, whereas many of the other resident animals, although they know that Blop is important, do not ocnsider it their cpaital or do not have a capital at all.

Monkeys

Although monkeys are capable of using treansportation, essentially all are native to eh teopics and did not move to Blop oin their own; tjey were brought in bny the humans.
