Following a series of major constitutional reforms, the government of the FDR was replaced by a coalition of voluntary workers' cooperatives on January 9, 2023.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/107lff4/results_the_peoples_reform_act_of_2023/</ref> It was then renamed on February 4, 2023, officially becoming the [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/10tmm4c/results_national_referendum_runoff/</ref>
==History ==▼
===Pre-CivMC===
Following the end of 3.0, Danzilonans helped found the cities of [[Threepton]] and [[Carson]] on [[CivClassic 2.0]] as well as the small town of Atari Springs on [[CivEx: First Light]], but each of those were distinct in their own culture or not dominated by Danzilonans. Irregardless, the Danzilonan community remained in contact online continuously since the end of 3.0 but few played on Civ servers. This changed, however, with renewed interest brought about by potential opportunities in new servers following the end of CivClassic in December 2021. Interest in a new iteration of Danzilona
More features for their planned nation were ironed out throughout March, including the city's layout and a [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|Concordat with the Church of Ranubis]], a religion that was especially prominent in [[New Danzilona]] on [[CivCraft 2.0]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/tcseqa/my_idea_for_our_city/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/tm1l6r/discussion_official_protections_for_past_and/</ref> On April 18th, Danzilonan citizen [[TheTrackball]] officially laid out his design for what he

===Early History===
With CivMC's launch getting delayed by a week, many Danzilonans were not able to get on immediately at launch. However, a number of them were still able to and most did within 24 hours of it. Joined by a handful of newfriends picked up on their Discord in the weeks before launch, the Danzilonans set off in the general direction of the shallow +,+, looking for a diversity of biomes and suitable spot for the Danzshaft. First settling more inland on the main +,+ continent, the Danzilonans moved to the east coast to found their city, establishing a border with the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Medi Sea|Medi Sea]]. With the discovery of the huge abundance of iron that generates on the server, much of the first week was spent on resource gathering for defensive infrastructure, though proposed layouts for the city
Arguably the most distinguishing feature of early Danzilona
On June 3, 2022, the first monthly census was posted.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/v3yeo6/census_first_official_census_of_the_free/</ref> Over the course of June, the population of the FDR more than doubled, from around 12 active residents at the start of the server to around 30 by the third week of June. Along with a slate of newfriends, a number of Civcraft oldfriends also became citizens, including players formerly from [[Aytos]], the [[FSR]], and the [[U3P]].

On June 11, 2022, a mini diplomatic crisis occurred between the FDR and [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]] when the latter pearled Danzilonan citizen Vall for the crime of theft, griefing their house in the process. [[Lowtuff]] acted as Vall's attorney, who plead guilty and was sentenced to 12 hours in the end. While Danzilonans mostly personally accepted the verdict, many criticised the conduct of the pearling and the trial and drafted a petition of grievances to the CDM government, which was signed by about half of the FDR's population and posted on June 17th.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vemnfg/a_petition_of_grievances_to_the_government_of/</ref> The CDM government, in response, defended their justice system but also personally apologised to Vall for the conduct and committed to drafting an extradition treaty with the FDR. The FDR stated they would do so with them once an ambassador was elected for July 1st.
The first ever Minecraft hockey game since 2016 was organised and took place in the FDR on June 26, 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vm8nls/workers_organize_hockey_games_in_new_danzilona_to/</ref> Played by two teams of three in a temporary street rink built by Danzilonan citizen Gant, the game

Over the course of June 28-30, 2022, the first Danzilonan election took place, where voters decided who should hold the FDR's political offices for the month of July 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vo9cfo/elections_results_for_the_july_2022_election/</ref> A total of 26 votes were cast, making the turnout 78% of the eligible population. A slate of old guard Danzilonans took control of each of the offices, including two members of the newfound [[Socialist Party of Danzilona]], with at least one of them pledging to name the runner-up as their undersecretary.

On August 12, 2022, following negotiations with its citizens, the FDR annexed the mainland claims of [[Melia]], its southern neighbour who had gone mostly inactive, increasing Danzilona's land area by about 25%.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmpw1v/psa_to_mapmakers_danzilona_has_annexed_the_melian/</ref>

On October 27th, Danzilonan citizen [[Pythius]] was appointed Foreign Minister after almost a full term of Danzilona not having one.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/yeyikw/delegation_pythius_df_foreign_minister/</ref> Following his appointment, Pythius signalled that he would focus on building Danzilona's famed soft power through cultural and artistic initatives.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/yhgxis/from_the_office_of_the_foreign_minister_of_the/</ref> A few days later, the November elections took place, with citizen [[Perdikkas]] posting his platform for Interior Minister mere minutes before polls closed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/yhuumq/its_not_too_late_to_change_your_vote/</ref> Despite this, Perd failed to secure the win, leading to the victories of incumbents [[Lone22wolf]], [[Red_Steel]]. and Pythius for Interior Minister, Defence Minister, and Foreign Minister, respectively.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/yhwcb8/election_results_nov_2022/</ref> As a result of the election, November marked the first time that the Danzilonan elected offices were simultaneously held by both [[Ranubism|Ranubist]] and [[Mery]] citizens of Danzilona, two ethnoreligious groups which have been in soft conflict since the passage of the [[Lighthouse Accord]] in July 2022.
As lonewolf's tenure as Interior Minister progressed, the transit industry was rapidly developed. The first canals in NDZ, originally planned in June 2022, were dug and laid, and the first overland rail line connecting NDZ and Cortesia Del Mar

After a week of intense debate, citizens of the FDR overwhelmingly voted to conduct most voting and all elections in-game rather than on their subreddit as had been done since at least 2014.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zegj2z/results_ingame_voting_act_of_2022/</ref> Some inactive citizens were staunchly opposed to the measure, but were persuaded to vote in favour of it when a sunset provision was added to the bill, requiring it to be renewed 3 months after it originally passed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zcehhn/vote_ingame_voting_act_of_2022/iywq9z8/</ref>
=== Holiday Season
On December 15, 2022, the Consuls of the Provinces and the New Danzilonan Council- appointed offices which [[Des23]] created in the previous September- were officially abolished, greatly reducing the FDR's bureaucracy and government as a whole.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zma3bv/the_consuls_of_the_provinces_and_the_ndz_council/</ref>
During the holiday season, [[Peakman2]] helped get Danzilona in the spirit of things by turning the city hall's water fountain into a Christmas Tree and putting a wreath on its belltower.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/zq8evq/happy_holidays_from_danzilona/</ref> Like many other nations, the FDR received gifts from [[Griffin]] and the CivMC admin team.
With incumbent Interior Minister [[Perdikkas13]] still inactive and the rest of the Danzilonans unable to come to a consensus about how their election should account for the holiday season, the January 2023 general election simply did not occur. This left a ''de jure'' power vacuum within the Danzilonan government as the constitution does not account for such a possibility and so no resolution exists. In response, a flurry of proposals that would bring drastic changes to the FDR's government were made during the week of January 2nd. These included proposals to completely change how foreign affairs
Amidst the ongoing constitutional crisis, Danzilona
On January 9, 2023, the citizens of the FDR voted to abolish their current government and replace it with a system of cooperatives that citizens could join to carry out the functions of executive government. This reformed the FDR into [[FWC Danzilona]], which was given its name on February 4, 2023.

▲The original government of the FDR was small in order to give more power to the citizens in crafting and implementing policy. Laws and constitutional changes are proposed by ordinary citizens and passed by their direct democratic majority vote. However, the few government positions that did exist had important responsibilities in managing the FDR, and one of them was quasi-dictatorial. The governmental positions of the FDR were:
*The Defence Minister, the quasi-dictatorial position who
*
▲*The Foreign Minister, who is responsible for directing foreign policy and carrying out the will of the Danzilonans in such matters. They serve as the main point of contact for foreign entities and are also responsible for constructing embassies and other Danzilonan infrastructure outside of the FDR;
▲*The Interior Minister, who is responsible for taking a monthly census and inducting new citizens, as well as offboarding inactive ones. They are also tasked with mapping out and patrolling the FDR's land claims to ensure no foreign settlements have been built on it; and
▲*The Defence Minister, the quasi-dictatorial position who is responsible for maintaining a standing security force and enforcing the laws of the FDR. In times of military crises, the Defence Minister has the right to expand their authority and allow themselves to, among other things, ban non-citizens from the FDR and pearl individuals without trial. In doing so, however, they risk facing a citizen tribunal for any abuses committed during a time of crisis.
▲* Each minister also has the power to appoint an undersecretary capable of carrying out specific duties within the bounds of their office.
On May 13, 2022, the framework for a potential future federation was adopted, officially transforming the FDR from a ''de facto'' unitary state to a federal one.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/up41gt/results_a_new_danzilonan_federation/</ref> Until July 29, 2022, the Foreign Minister, Interior Minister, and Defence Minister were called the Ambassador, Surveyor, and Sheriff, respectively.

=== Taxation ===
Until December 25, 2022, the FDR had no taxes and no way to generate public funds. Projects have typically been spearheaded by individuals or local organisations and paid for out-of-pocket. The lack of public funds had been a persistent issue for Danzilona, with various political candidates pledging to establish a national treasury for the September<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wyfiab/announcing_the_decent_party_september_platform/</ref>, October<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xvf2il/things_to_do_in_the_fdr_october_10th_edition/</ref>, and November<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/yhuumq/its_not_too_late_to_change_your_vote/</ref> general elections to no avail.
