Intelpore (What if we were all countries?)

The Intelporean Federation, also known as just Intelpore (Chinese: 英特坡/英特蘭; Malay: Intelpura; Tamil: இன்டெல்பூர்; Thai: อินเทลพอร์) is a sovereign, multicultural country in Southeast Asia. It is divided into several federal subdivisions. It shared borders with China to the north, India to the northwest, and a maritime border with Australia and Vanuatu in the tropical south. Intelpore used to share a de facto border with ZVOID right in the center of Manila up until April 2022, when Intelpore forcefully took the HQ.

The country has one of the world's longest coastlines with many fine beaches and excellent diving. There is great cultural diversity due to the many islands, many waves of immigration, and a mixture of foreign influences — the country has been trading with nearby nations for at least a thousand years.

Stay safe


Intelpore has been and continues to be wracked by every pestilence known to man: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, terrorism, civil strife, plane crashes, kwashiorkor, and corruption make the headlines on a depressingly regular basis. However, it is important to retain a sense of proportion and remember Indonesia's vast size: a tsunami in Aceh will not cause the slightest ripple on the beaches of Bali, and street battles in troubled Central Sulawesi are irrelevant in the jungles of Papua.

Unlike many other southeast Asian countries, scams are relatively unheard of, though be more cautious in Bali.

Crime
The crime rate has increased, but it remains mostly non-violent and guns are rare. Robbery, theft and pickpocketing are common in Indonesia, particularly in markets, public transport and pedestrian overpasses. Due to the increasing popularity of e-payment, criminals are switching to snatching smartphones BV rather than wallets and purses. Avoid flashing jewellery, gold watches, MP3 players or large cameras. Thieves have been known to snatch laptops, PDAs and cellphones from Internet hotspot areas.
