==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 begun to be gauged (primarily by [[Des23]]), and one was attempted on [[CivRev]] as a dependent territory within the [[Mery Horde]] on January 1, 2022, but the server died the same day before it was made official. Two months of dormancy followed until a subreddit post was made on March 4, 2022 to discuss the establishment of the Free Danzilonan Republic and approve its constitution.<ref name=":0">https://
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 had dubbed the Danzshaft, the secure quasi-undercity that was planned to act as the centrepiece for the main Danzilonan settlement.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/u6j1y6/danz_shaft_diagram/</ref>
Line 133 ⟶ 131:
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>
Line 140 ⟶ 138:
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 were handled, to replace the government with ''ad hoc'' working groups, and to abolish executive governance altogether.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/101nam7/proposal_1_repeal_article_3_of_the_constitution/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/1020dxz/proposals_3_and_4_eyes_of_danzilona_and_public/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/102hc7h/discussion_rethinking_government/</ref>
Amidst the ongoing constitutional crisis, Danzilona begun the [[Battle of Imbolc]] after invading a part of its northern border town of Imbolc that had unknowingly been ''de jure'' occupied by Danzilona's northern neighbour, [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]], since June 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/103ny0g/after_6_months_of_illegal_cortesian_occupation/</ref>
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.
==Politics==
Line 148 ⟶ 146:
===Government===
The
▲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 were 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 Foreign Minister, who was 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 were also responsible for constructing embassies and other Danzilonan infrastructure outside of the FDR;
*The Interior Minister, who was responsible for taking a monthly census and inducting new citizens, as well as offboarding inactive ones. They were 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 was responsible for maintaining a standing security force and enforcing the laws of the FDR. In times of military crises, the Defence Minister had 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.
*
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.
====
Along with its elected national government offices, the FDR also had a number of appointed bodies and positions that help carry out the tasks of those national offices. The ability to appoint undersecretary positions was granted via constitutional amendments proposed by [[Gant]] and further refined by a transparency law proposed by [[Azelair]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/w73wyk/proposal_constitutional_amendments/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wdmunp/results_executive_transparency_and_accountability/</ref> The number of appointments rose drastically after [[Des23]] was elected to all national government offices in the [[September 2022 Danzilonan general election]]. As of December 15, 2022, the appointed bureaucracy of the FDR includes the following:

Line 281 ⟶ 272:
Ever since the founding of the first iteration of Danzilona, American English had remained the dominant vernacular.
===
The FDR constitution specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of religious creed (though this was mostly intended to refer to IRL religions but ''de facto'' also applies to in-game religions until otherwise stated). However, the FDR had made a special [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|Concordat with the Church of Ranubis]], which was a prominent religion in 1.0 and 2.0 Danzilona and to which 4 of the FDR's founders belong. Disciples of Ranubis have special privileges within the FDR that members of other religions don't, such as the right to own property without becoming an FDR citizen, and the Church can claim vacant public land without prior approval by the FDR, in essence making Ranubism the established religion of the FDR.
Line 288 ⟶ 279:
On July 13, 2022, the Church of Ranubis responded to the number of growing religions by launching an inquisition meant to purge non-believers from the Church and church lands.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vxu93i/great_inquisition_of_the_church_of_ranubis/</ref> The inquisition was declared over on September 22, 2022 after the establishment of the [[New Swisston#Ranubic Holy City of New Swisston|Ranubic Holy City of New Swisston]] and the conversion of [[Des23]] to ''[[Mery#Religion|rha'yatshola]]''.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xku1rd/the_great_inquisition_ends_and_other_notices/</ref>
== Economy ==
The economy of the Free Danzilonan Republic can mostly be described as an autarky, with the territory of Danzilona covering a wide range of biomes that citizens obtain resources from. Citizens have also generated large supplies of iron, diamonds, and other minerals from extensive mining projects such as the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#New Danzilona|DanzShaft]]. However, there was still some market activity, especially in the nether where Danzilona hosts the [[Transport Union]], as well as trade between individual Danzilonans and foreigners. The FDR government had also attempted trade deals before, with one having been negotiated with the [[Royal Lusitan Corporation]] but fell apart soon after implementation due to the RLC's collapse.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wfi04h/rlc_x_danzilonia_trade_talks/</ref> Danzilona's main exports include [[Map Art]], woods, oak saplings, berries, and beets.
=== 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. However, on December 13, 2022, a proposal to finally establish a treasury was submitted, which would be able to generate public funds through donations and taxes on exchanges.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zl5pg4/proposal_1_treasury_establishment_act_of_2022/</ref> The proposal passed on December 25th and thus established sales taxes on select item exchanges, such as the XP exchange and the iron-diamond exchange found in the FDR's capital city.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zv7re5/results_treasury_establishment_act_of_2022/</ref>
=== Transport ===
The FDR's primary industry was transporation, with the country noted to have one of the highest numbers of train stations per capita.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmpw1v/psa_to_mapmakers_danzilona_has_annexed_the_melian/ik190j4/</ref> The country was host to a number of different rail lines, including the [[Colonial Express]], the [[Copper Line]], the Northern Line to [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|CDM]], and the local DanzBorough rail that connects most of the FDR's populated areas. Although walking and rail were the dominant form of transportation, the FDR was also home to an ongoing canal-building project and was connected via ice road to CDM, the [[Arsenio Pact]], and [[Pavia]].
== Culture ==
With the Danzilonan lineage of civilisations dating back to 2012, the culture of the FDR had been influenced by a wide range of people. Contrasting with the many kingdoms and oligarchies found across Civ servers, Danzilona had remained a highly democratic society, meaning that the culture was influenced by everyone who comes to call themselves Danzilonan, including citizens who've come and gone as well as those who've stayed since [[Civcraft 1.0]] and [[CivCraft 2.0|2.0]]. Danzilonans were typically described as friendly, noninvasive, and persistent, which was owed to the typically progressive ideologies present within Danzilonan society as well as their ability to rebound from massive disasters, including the griefer attacks of [[New Danzilona#The U3P and Rancuneus Attacks|Rancuneus]] on 2.0 and the [[Skora-NDZ Pylon Conflict|invasion of Nova Danzilona]] on Civcraft 3.0. This cultural attitude, combined with the FDR's neutrality in global and even regional affairs, had allowed the Danzilonans to grow their soft power and be friendly with a variety of nations across the server.
=== Sport ===
[[File:Lambat hockey rin.png|thumb|The Lambat City hockey rink built to the NDZHL's specifications. Image credit: [[peakman2]]]]
Ever since the founding of the [[New Danzilona Hockey League]] on 2.0, hockey had been the main cultural export of Danzilona. On [[CivMC]], the league was reformed in late July 2022 and hosted a number of games before being suspended indefinitely due to the [[Estalia–Rhode Island War|Estalia-Rhode Island War]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wh18j7/announcing_the_reformation_of_the_ndzhl_and_the/</ref> A number of different nations have since built and hosted games in their own hockey rinks, including [[Nara]], [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]], [[Lusitania (CivMC)|Lusitania]], and [[Estalia]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/ybiuhz/shiroyama_ndzhl_rink/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/yo1aa5/ndzhl_nara_v_lambat/</ref>
=== Symbols ===
The flag of the FDR was a cyan, white, and grey tricolour, which have been the colours of the Danzilonan flag since 2013. Although no meaning was originally given to the colours, citizens have since assigned their own, with white typically representing the neutrality of the nation and the cyan and grey representing geographic features.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/1kicia/anyone_have_a_problem_with_this_being_the/cbpb0ij/</ref>
The Phoenix had been the national symbol of Danzilona since at least 2014.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/1va0vn/my_quick_draft_of_a_phoenix_to_show_if_we_want_a/</ref> The origin of the symbol was unknown, but it likely refers to the nation's recovery after the Rancuneus griefer attacks in late 2013. A Phoenix statue was present in the capital of the FDR.
=== Visual art ===
Danzilonan citizen [[Mummybundles]] had been a prolific [[Map Art]] artist since [[Civclassic 2.0]]. Mummy hosts a map art canvas within the FDR's claims and sells his art at a shop in the capital city. Since the start of CivMC, mummy had created map art of [[Lowtuff]], galaxies, animals, and optical illusions.
Line 317 ⟶ 308:
Every listed geographical feature and natural landmark within Danzilona and its territories were under the supervision and protection of [[Danzilona Park Commission|Danzilona's Park Commission (DanzParks)]]. DanzPark volunteers were tasked to protect many of Danzilona's famous landmarks, such as Great Oak and Spruce trees, as well as preserve natural reserves like the Great Melian Forest or the snowy tundra of [[New Swisston]]. On June 15th, 2022 Danzilona government ratified the Lorax Act<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vgot4s/results_the_lorax_act/</ref>, which enforced the protection of the FDR's Great trees, making logging of these trees illegal.
===Mountains & Hills
Danzilona's western frontier was defined largely by the [[Alenarith#Silver Mountains|Silver Mountains]], which stretches from southern [[Doom City]], southwest through West Danzilona, [[Nara]], and [[Dalgon]]. The highest summit of the mountain range was Mount 'Av-a-rest, within Nara's eastern Ebi territory. A stunning feature of the Silver Mountains were the Teo Caverns, which formed where the northern range meets the Teo River.
Line 325 ⟶ 316:
===Rivers & Bodies of Water===
Three rivers flow through mainland Danzilona:
*the Ebi River, which flows south from [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Lake Biwa|Lake Biwa]] along Nara, [[Free Danzilonan Republic#West Danzilona|West Danzilona]], and [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Melia|Melia]], to the Ebi-Teo Canal, where the Ebi goes south to flow into Lake Isanagi.
*
*the George Strait, which flows west from Wicker Island within the Danzilona Bay, along Southern Danzilona and Melia's border with western Wolken, ending in the Gulf of Gensokyo.
Line 334 ⟶ 325:
The main bodies of water within Danzilona were:
*
*[[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Lake Biwa|Lake Biwa]]
Line 340 ⟶ 331:
Danzilona hosts a number of dense forests, with the Great Melian Forest being its largest. The Great Melian Forest encompasses almost all of Melia, with the Teo River cutting right through it, separating the forest into Northern and Southern portions. Many of New Riverford's city parks and forests live within the greater Melian Forest. The second largest forest in mainland FDR was the Imbolc Forest, which lies the northeastern tip of Danzilona, along its border with [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]]. The town of Imbolc resides within this forest. In the southwestern arctic territory New Swisston lies the Swisston Tundra, a vast countryside of spruce forests and tall cliffsides.
==
On August 7th, 2022, the FDR released an official map designed by newfriend [[cnamav]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wi1bm7/map_of_danzilona_territories/</ref>. The map divides FDR into a few provinces, pinpointing Danzilona's main settlements, transit, and landscape. As of August 12, 2022, Danzilona annexed the Melian mainlands and released an updated claims map<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmpw1v/psa_to_mapmakers_danzilona_has_annexed_the_melian/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>.

New Danzilona also includes the location of the future Port of Danzilona.
===
Sophia was a farming province west of New Danzilona founded and maintained by [[mummybundles]]. It sits along heart of the Teo River, had a number of border markers, and contains the FDR's largest wheat farm, as well as a stop on the [[Copper Line]]. There were currently two towns within the province:
Line 360 ⟶ 351:
*Shackistan, Located to the west of the FDR's capital in the more mountainous regions of the nation, Shackistan includes the very initial settlement of the Danzilonans constructed within the first few hours of the server's existence. The name was an homage to [[Trackistan]], a territory of New Danzilona from Civcraft 2.0 that was run by TheTrackball. No one no longer lives in Shackistan, but the site was still maintained for its historical value.
===Peterskogur
Previously known as Oberon, Peterskogur was the northernmost province of the FDR and home to the Oberon Hills. Peterskogur was named after the town the Danzilonans founded in the private Minecraft realm that they played together in before CivMC launched.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Witherston/comments/tz95rv/the_town_of_peterskogur/</ref> The province had only one town as of now:

*The Southern Province Farmer's Market (SPFM), located at the SP-Melia border. the SPFM was [[Qaad|Qaad's]] business venture providing the SP and Melia with handmade goods imported from across Danzilona. Current vendors were selling goods from New Danzilona, New Swisston, and the SP itself

Line 391 ⟶ 382:
New Swisston, named after 2.0's [[Swisston]], was a Danzilonan territory located in the southwestern [[Alenarith]] antarctic. It borders [[Venne (CivMC)|Venne]] and [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mount Augusta]]'s arctic territory to the west, [[Dalgon]] to its east, and [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]]'s Ice Shelf to its south. New Swisston’s home rule charter was ratified on Sept 14, 2022<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xddtno/results_new_swisston_home_rule_act/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>, with [[lone22wolf]] being chosen as its provincial Consul<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xepz0l/delegations_consuls_of_the_provinces/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>. The province was the home of most Disciples of [[Ranubism|Ranubis]] and hosts potato, berry, and spruce tree farms as well as an ice rink.
===Eastern Shining Isles
{{main|Eastern Shining Isles}}
Initially settled by the Danzilonan Marine Society (and, more specifically, [[Lowtuff]]) on the first day of the server, what would become known as the Eastern Shining Isles (or ''djotalar na rhayadeht'' in ''[[Mery#Language|mehrileh]]'')<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vqfv3e/results_eastern_islands_name_and_flag/</ref> became the home base of Mery Danzilonan citizen Vall. The archipelago was composed of at least 6 islands and a couple sandbars and was home to a number of Mery cultural and religious sites, including a temple and lighthouse. More Mery begun settling there after the ratification of the [[Lighthouse Accord]] on July 10, 2022.
===Bilgewater
An archipelago east of Danzilona's Southern Province. The territory was formally claimed by [[Wolken]] and was typically internationally recognised as such; however, the original newfriend inhabitants of the islands submitted themselves to be annexed by the FDR on June 15, 2022, to which the FDR obliged. The newfriends subsequently went inactive, but Danzilona continues develop the land and claim Bilgewater as their own, disputing Wolken's claim.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/x63m2y/danzilona_map_20/</ref> The islands were currently home to a dock, a mine, a fishing shack, and tunnels which connect them to each other.
