Free Danzilonan Republic: Difference between revisions

In late July and early August 2022, civil conflict began to occur between the more anarchist-leaning Danzilonan citizens and the more democratic-minded ones. It started when, citing some oldfriend complaints of not seeing legislative proposals until they're already being voted on, citizen [[lone22wolf]] proposed the Legislative Session Act, or LSA, on July 28th.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/waj8ar/proposal_the_legislative_session_act/</ref> While the main principle of the LSA involved restricting the days that legislation could be proposed and voted on, it also included new mechanisms for conflicting legislation as well as a new finalisation phase where citizens would be able to see the final version of a piece of legislation in a new post. The proposal was controversial, as many saw the new additions as too extra and too radical of a change and, ironically, many citizens did not notice the discussions until it was too late. On August 6th, after 2 days of voting, the LSA was voted down with numerous abstentions.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/whswz2/results_the_legislative_session_act/</ref> Still believing in the core principles of the LSA, citizen Des23 re-proposed it on August 9th with some of the more controversial features removed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wkc9yx/reproposal_the_legislative_session_act/</ref> After a couple days of intense debate on both the subreddit and Discord, a consensus was finally reached, and the bill was finalised on August 11th.

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>
