Description

Level 650 resembles a modern city built upon the middle of a forest and is the capital of the Republic of Boveta. The design of the city took heavy inspiration from Level 11 with perpendicular roads to form a grid system. Boveta is designed to match living standards in the Frontrooms, or in many cases be better.

Geography

Not much is known about the level itself. Before Boveta was built, the level was entirely occupied by an expansive forest with both flat and mountainous regions. The city of Boveta now occupies the main area of the level¹ while the forest occupies the rest of the level.

History

The Republic of Boveta was established by President Wilson Pottinger on May 4, 2016. He and his team were originally seeking to find the Nation of Boveta through texts in The Cygnus Archive but instead found an empty forest; instead of leaving, he founded the Republic of Boveta.

Right after the foundation, the general public of the Backrooms was skeptical about the success of Boveta. Due to this, population growth of the nation consisted mostly of other people cast out by major GOIs. The neglect and inhumane treatment that most GOIs put onto their members lead to many individuals choosing to immigrate to Boveta, which has a ruling institution that respects its citizens.

By August 2017, the first government offices were completed, which was a crucial step in the development of the nation. Constructing the offices was not an easy feat; with a population of just 500 people, the construction of the offices required incredible resourcefulness. The excellent planning of our leaders and unprecedented efficiency of the project demonstrated that the Bovetan people are unstoppable. After the success of the project, immigration into Boveta grew exponentially, and the city reached a population of 3,000 by 2020 and 12,000 in 2026.

City Center

The city center is the core of Boveta. It contains all of the most important buildings, such as the Presidential Palace, the offices for different government departments, and the Bovetan Parliament. Additionally, the city center also contains a large economic zone, which has been the heart of the Bovetan economy.

Residential Area

President Wilson Pottinger declared in July 2017 that the Republic of Boveta must be able to provide every citizen with housing. Following this, the Boveta city council commissioned 5 public housing blocks to be built beside the city center to be completed by July 2018 and another 5 to be completed by July 2020. The incredible diligence of the nation led to the project being completed 1 month ahead of schedule. As of today, the Republic of Boveta provides a free apartment for every household, making it a much better option than buying an apartment on Level 11.

Transportation

Transportation in Boveta is mostly done by foot, as automobiles are quite rare in the Backrooms. Bovetan city planners have designed intricate road designs that make traversing the level efficient on all mediums. Recent initiatives by Goodwin Industries on Level 902 have been rapidly introducing buses to Boveta, and they aim to bring the cost of private automobiles down enough that all citizens can afford one.

Inter-level logistics have been key to the development of the city, as many construction supplies are purchased from external sources. Thus, Bovetan city planners made inter-level logistics as convenient as possible after the 2018 logistics project constructed roads linking all known level exits. While there is a customs office at all known entrances and exits, the Boveta Customs Department made it incredibly efficient and convenient to enter and leave Boveta, with the average time taken being just 2 minutes for regular citizens. It is common for citizens to spend weekends and holidays outside of Boveta. Additionally, the Customs Department also made the inspection of cargo incredibly simple, and the median time it takes for cargo to pass customs inspection is just 10 minutes. The optimization of inter-level logistics played a crucial role in the development of Boveta, as it not only allowed rapid transportation of supplies but also made it incredibly easy to immigrate to Boveta.

Economy

The Republic of Boveta's economy is a mixed economy where the government has the ability to interfere with the market at any time but chooses not to most of the time. The economy is currently developing rapidly with an economic growth rate of 5% in every quarter. The currency of Boveta is the Bovetan Dollar (ℬ), which the Bovetan central bank set to be equivalent to the value of 32 ml of Liquid Silence. In 2019, President Wilson Pottinger declared that the Republic of Boveta should specialize in the technology industry. Shortly after, subsidies were given out to technology firms, and there has since been a rise in the quantity of small technology firms in Boveta as well as immigration of scientists and engineers into Boveta to start their projects.

The workforce of Boveta consists mostly of secondary sector workers. Due to the rapid urban development of Boveta, the most common job is in construction, followed by manufacturing and logistics. The Bovetan Government puts the wellness of citizens at the highest priority; thus, in December 2018, the Department of Labor passed the Labour Safety Act, which outlined strict safety standards and limited the maximum work hours to 8 hours a day and 5 days a week.². Due to these regulations, there have not been any work-related lethal accidents since the foundation of Boveta.

Bases, Outposts and Communities

The Republic of Boveta

The level is the capital of the Republic of Boveta. The nation aims to unite the Backrooms under a government to allow more long-term and coordinated action. While other groups have attempted similar ventures, no group has yet to achieve the same level of centralization and coordination as the Republic of Boveta. Anyone willing to become a citizen of the republic or get a visa to visit Boveta can sign up at our customs offices in major levels.

B.N.T.G. Office

In September 2020, the B.N.T.G. and the Bovetan Government established a trade deal that led to the construction of the first non-Bovetan office in Boveta. This deal marks a pivotal moment in Bovetan history as it represents the recognition of the nation's success by other groups. Currently, this office manages all of the trade between the B.N.T.G. and the Republic of Boveta.

Entrances And Exits

Entrances

Entering forest on Level 11 will no-clip you into the border inspection zone of the level.
Finding a region in Level 8 with Plantlife leads here.
No-clipping into a tree prop made of paper on Level 848 leads here.
An oak tree on Level 140 contains a trapdoor below it that leads here.
Going through the recently stabilized threshold TH-072 on Level 245 leads here.

Bidirectional Links

A cave in the Eastern mountains links to the other end of the cave in Level 93.
A door on a overgrown dirt wall in the middle of the forest links to a similar structure in Level 375. Jess, the inhabitant of Level 375, does not recommend using this link as a path to the rest of the Backrooms as it will require passing through Level 3.
A door 93km north of the city has a bidirectional link to Level 595.

Exits

The Level 39 exit is located North of the city. This was once thought to be the edge of the level but the hypothesis was debunked after a team discovered that it was simply a small no-clipping zone.
A bunker in the woods leads to Level 11, there is a road leading to the bunker.
Going down an elevator located in a tree will lead to Level 1.
Walking deep into the woods at night until you see a dark patch in the starry sky and no-clipping into a tree will lead to Level 288.
