Jabberwock Island

Jabberwock Island is the primary setting of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

It is actually an archipelago, consisting of five bigger islands connected by a smaller, central island. According to the information pamphlet, it is located in the Pacific Ocean.

It revealed in Chapter 6 that the Jabberwock Island shown in the second game is actually part of the Neo World Program, a virtual version from the real Jabberwock Island.

Prior to the Neo World Program
Jabberwock Island is a small archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, a paradise of everlasting summer with natural beauty. Jabberwock comprises one small central island and a group of five islands surrounding it.

The resort was developed around the outer islands, and a magnificent administration building was built on the central island. The lobby of the administration building houses a statue representing the island. One moves between the five islands by a ferry boat service. At first some people requested bridges to be built, but they were refused due to concern for the environment.

During the events of the Neo World Program
According to a conversation between Sonia Nevermind, Hajime Hinata, and Monokuma, Jabberwock Island was made by the Future Foundation and is, in other words, an artificial island. (Hinted by Monokuma saying "those guys" and "huge organization/fearsome group" in the game).

Future Foundation rebuilt the island by adding or removing many features, such as: However, a certain someone brought a virus which messed up and hacked the Neo World Program, allowing Monokuma to enter the island and defeat Usami, which made the Killing School Trip start. Monokuma also changed some features when the Mutual Killing started, they are:
 * Removing the administration building on the central island, replacing it with Jabberwock Park.
 * Adding Surveillance Cameras throughout the island which connect directly to the Future Foundation.
 * Creating bridges and connecting them to every island. They also shelter the bridges.
 * Taking the boats away from the island and taking out the airplane engines in the airport.
 * Adding teacher's rules which must be obeyed by the students.
 * Turning "Usami" into "Monomi".
 * Replacing the original Jabberwock Statue with his Monobeasts, who later guarded every sheltered island bridge.
 * Building a trial ground (Monokuma Rock) on the central island.
 * Adding a countdown bomb on the central island, at the original Jabberwock Statue location.
 * Modifying the Funhouse on the fourth island into an "escape game".
 * Adding Killing School Trip rules to Usami's rules.

Central Island
The central island is the main island that connects all five islands on Jabberwock Island, Monokuma usually used this island as a gathering place.

Locations found on this island are :

Jabberwock Park
'Quiet Park. A statue symbolizing the island is erected there.' Used as a gathering place when Monokuma called the students together; there is also a Neo World Program Countdown bomb planted on the Monobeast statue, but before Monokuma came to the island, it was the original location of the Jabberwock Statue. This is where Hajime first meet with Byakuya Togami.

Bridges
There are bridges which connected all the islands together and it was sheltered by Monokuma when the Mutual Killing started. The bridges are also guarded by the Monobeasts, but when a trial ends, Monomi defeats them one by one.

It's revealed that the bridges were built by the Future Foundation, knowing that before the Neo World Program commenced, tourists visited each island via ferry.

Monokuma Rock
Monokuma Rock was built by Monokuma himself when the Mutual Killing started. It's used as a court room whenever a murder occurs. Monokuma also equipped the Rock with an escalator which connects Monokuma Rock with the land and also included an elevator wide enough to be filled with 15-16 people. Monokuma changes the design of the court room in every different trial.

The First Island
Appropriately titled, this is the first island to be explored. Hajime wakes up along the coast, and Nagito Komaeda is there to greet him. After Hajime gains his bearings, he begins to explore.

The First Island is the only island which isn't guarded by a Monobeast, because it was already unlocked by Usami when the students were transported to the island. This island is where the students live, and where the first murder takes place.

Locations found on this island are:

Beach
The beach where Hajime wakes up. It's located along the coast and where the students discuss their plans to escape. This is also where Hajime first meets Nagito.

Airport
Jabberwock Airport was originally used as a 'normal' airport until the Neo World Program started. The airplanes on the Jabberwock Island are heavily broken. According to Kazuichi Soda, the airplane engines were missing, therefore the airplanes cannot be used. This is also where Hajime first meets Gundham Tanaka and Kazuichi.

Rocketpunch Market
This is a market that has many goods such as food, drinks and the other things. This is the place where Byakuya got his 'just in case' duralumin case and other safety weapons. Hiyoko Saionji usually buys her favorite gummies here and this is the place where the killers usually bought stuff to help them with their murders. This is also where Hajime first meets Mikan Tsumiki and Ibuki Mioda.

Usami Corral (Farm/Ranch)
This is a farm which is occupied by livestock, it originally only had chickens until Usami, as a demonstration of her magical abilities, turned a chicken into a cow. It is not used much in the story. This is also where Hajime first meets Hiyoko and Akane Owari.

Hotel Mirai
Hotel Mirai is the complex where the students live during their stay on the island. Each student has their own cottage, identified with a small label showing a pixelated representation of their face outside their door.

In Chapter 3, Hiyoko makes a memorial dedicated to Mahiru here, to which most of the other students suggest burning the memorial down as they believed it looked more like someone was cursing Mahiru rather than a memorial to her. They later took back their complaints after realizing how much Hiyoko put into building the memorial and it remains standing for the rest of the game.

Hotel's Old Building
The Hotel's Old Building is located beside Hotel Mirai. Inside the lodge, there is an office, bathroom, and kitchen. This is the location of the party that Byakuya came up with to watch over his fellow classmates. The first murder takes place here.

A password is required to enter the front gate - if someone enters the wrong password, they would be shot by a machine gun set near the gate.

According to Monokuma, not even him and Monomi can enter the ruined Academy until the correct password is found.

The inside of the ruins is only accessed in the last chapter, where it was used again by Monokuma (AI Junko Enoshima) and the Future Foundation to activate the "Graduation".

Library

A giant library, filled with many books both imported and local, even occult magazines can be found here. According to Sonia, the island hosts an installation on the level of the national library and even rivals the library in her hometown.

Later, Monomi explains to the group that she prepared the library to make the group concentrate on their studies. According to the pamphlet/tourist brochure regarding Jabberwock Island (before used by Future Foundation), there were many wealthy people taking long vacations on the island and the library was surely built using their contributions. After the island was used as the Neo World Program's main location, they added two Usami statues there, but they were later broken by Monokuma, and replaced with two statues of himself.
