Despite having an established religion, citizens have been able to enjoy extensive religious freedom and even autonomy as the Grand Priest of Ranubism has been largely busy with IRL affairs and other Disciples have been focusing on more public matters. As such, religious diversity increased among the population, bringing Disciples down from roughly a quarter of the population to just 12%. For another example, [[Mery]] Danzilonan citizens have settled on the FDR's island claims, gave the islands a name in ''mehrileh,'' and plan on building religious structures there.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vqfv3e/results_eastern_islands_name_and_flag/</ref>

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>

== Geography ==

=== New Danzilona ===
[[File:Subdivisions of ndz.png|thumb|Unofficial subdivisions of the FDR's capital city, created by [[grenadeninja21]]]]
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:

* 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.
* Old Town, where all of the FDR's civic buildings are located as well as residential plots for newfriends. This includes the Town Hall, built by [[Des23]], and the Republic's only ice rink, built by Gant.
* Snake Island, a small island that houses a Ukrainian flag and a tree farm built by [[Val Tawiga]].

=== 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 Val. 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.

=== 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.

=== Truetania's Homestead ===
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. It 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.

=== Sophia ===
Sophia is a farming district north of Shackistan created 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.
