It has an area of 43 square miles (113 km²) and a population of 3,184,391 in 2020.

Etymology and naming
From 1850 until 1898, Neon District was an unofficial district in New Robloxity and it was named "Fujishiri" by the Japanese settlers that had lived there. In 1898, British travellers and inventors Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers asked to rename the district to Neon District as they had invented the neon element there.

Prehistory (1850 - 1922)
On March 15th, 1850, Yoshiteru Hosokawa and his 450 crewmates on his SS Fujisunai, crashed onto the shores of an island in North America. They went north, bought materials to build the first only-Japanese village of Fujishiri. A lot of Japanese immigrants arrived and Americans moved in aswell, and by the end of the night 983 people lived in Fujishiri. The next day Yoshiteru contacted Caleb S. Woodhull, the mayor and he made Fujishiri an official village. Up until 1869 people mainly farmed and lived off maize, corn and potatoes before in 1869 somebody who lived in Fujishiri went back to Japan and back to Fujishiri, and introduced the rice crop to Fujishiri, which was an important moment in Neon District's history. After that, the 810 (at the time) Japanese people living in Fujishiri farmed maize, corn and potatoes to pay the rent and fed themselves with rice while the 750 Americans carried on farming the crops they had been farming before then.

1873 was known as the "innovation year" for Fujishiri as the first libraries, schools, non-market shops, buddhism and shinto shrines, police stations and town halls were built.

In June of 1898, Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers came to Fujishiri, which had 1,850 people living in it at the time, and in a rice farmer's house, discovered the Neon element when Ramsay chilled a sample of air until it became a liquid, then warmed the liquid and captured the gases as they boiled off. This made history and on December 25th, 1898 Fujishiri was renamed to Neon District.

In 1899, electricity was brought to Neon District after a failed attempt to put up a neon sign failed multiple times.

In 1901, the first cinema in Neon District was created but was closed for three days in 1903 after a screening of A Trip to the Moon by George Meiles, which scared people in the cinema.

In 1909, Neon District's first metro system started being worked on, which was completed in 1916, and in 1920 Neon District's first non-coal powered power plant was implemented.

The Chinese move-in (1926 - 1952)
On October 10th, 1926, 450 Chinese immigrants moved into Neon District and claimed a small northern part of Neon District as their own. The Japanese and American accepted this, due to China not being communist at the time. They named this part of Neon District "Amery" and the Chinese incorporated the capital city of Amery, Amery Chinatown. Soon, more Chinese people immigrated to Amery between 1928 - 1935, and by the end of 1935 the population of Neon District was 3,570, with 1,190 Japanese, 714 Americans and 646 Chinese.

On April 9th, 1938, the first radio station in Neon District and first JOXX station in Neon District, JOXN (not to be confused with the Shiguto City callsign of NRTN 1), launched.

In 1949, when China became communist, the mayor of Neon District considered expelling the Chinese from Neon District, but the population considered them immigrants, so he let them stay. After China became communist, China stopped the pact that let them ship rice to Neon District, making rice produce drop at an all time low.
