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 began 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.

On August 7th, 2022, the FDR released an official map designed by newfriend cnamav<ref name=":0" />. The map divides FDR into a few provinces, pinpointing Danzilona's main settlements, transit, and landscape.

While most of the FDR is unorganised territory, an official jurisdiction for a capital city named New Danzilona (not to be confused with the NDZ of 2.0) was proposed by [[Gant]] and adopted on June 28, 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vmzos2/results_city_name_flag_and_territory/</ref> Although the capital city has no version of home rule, it exists largely for zoning and cultural purposes. Additionally, there are several ''de facto'' subdivisions within NDZ that operate differently based on their aesthetic, geography, and who lives there. These subdivisions include:

Additionally, there are several ''de facto'' cities and towns within NDZ that operate differently based on their aesthetic, geography, and who lives there. These subdivisions include:


⚫
* West Vale, a valley area homesteaded by [[peakman2]] where many of NDZ's farms are located.
* DanzShaft, the centrepiece of the city spearheaded by [[TheTrackball]]. The DanzShaft is envisioned to be a bastioned hole that will protect residential and commercial plots that are only available to citizens of the FDR.

New Danzilona also includes the location of the future Port of Danzilona, as well as the Highlands, a range of hills that roll to the west of Old Town.

=== Sophia ===
⚫
Sophia is a farming province west of New Danzilona founded and maintained by [[mummybundles]]. It runs along the main river found within the FDR, has a number of border markers, and contains the FDR's largest wheat farm. There are currently two towns within the province:

⚫
* Sophia, the namesake town where [[mummybundles]] has set up a homestead and stables. Along Danzilona's central river, a group of real life friends consisting of Truetania, Necromancer, and iPrizefighter have constructed and maintain an extensive and self-sufficient homestead that they built on the first day of the server. The neighborhood is mostly referred to as Truetania's homestead as she remains the most active of the group. The homestead contains most of the FDR's crop and tree farms as well as a number of factories.
⚫
* 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 is 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 is still maintained for its historical value.

=== Oberon ===
The northernmost province of the FDR, named after the Oberon Hills, a large range of hills that roll throughout northern Danzilona. The range is home to many of Danzilona's magestic Great Oak trees and is under the protection of [[DanzParks]]. Oberon has only one town as of now:

* Imbolc, a northern town on the border of [[Cortesia Del Mar]]. The town is home to a large oceanside park, as well as a [[Ranubism|Ranubist]] church.

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 is composed of at least 6 islands and a couple sandbars and is home to a number of Mery cultural and religious sites, including a temple and lighthouse. More Mery began settling there after the proposal of the [[Lighthouse Accord]] on July 10, 2022.
