==== Bureaucracy ====
Along with its elected national government offices, the FDR also has 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 OctoberDecember 415, 2022, the appointed bureaucracy of the FDR includes the following:
 
* Commissioner of the [[NDZHL]]. As part of Gant's constitutional amendments, the NDZHL was reformed as a nationalised entity under the Interior Ministry and so its head has become a governmental position. The office is currently vacant and so authority over the NDZHL falls to the current Interior Minister, [[lone22wolfPerdikkas13]].
* Consuls of the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Provinces & Territories|Provinces]], who were originally appointed by the Interior Minister to help carry out select duties relating to governance within their assigned provinces.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xepz0l/delegations_consuls_of_the_provinces/</ref> First appointed by Des23 after her initial proposal for provincial consuls failed,<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xcvb6r/results_provincial_consuls/</ref> the Consuls were also given expanded powers in foreign affairs and defence of their particular provinces.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xm8hrh/delegations_expansion_of_consular_power_and/</ref>
* [[Free Danzilonan Republic#New Danzilona|NDZ]] Council, which has the same power and authority as a provincial Consul, but includes multiple people as opposed to just one. These councillors include the Consuls of the rest of the FDR's provinces as well as Danzilonan founder [[peakman2]].
* Commissioner of the [[NDZHL]]. As part of Gant's constitutional amendments, the NDZHL was reformed as a nationalised entity under the Interior Ministry and so its head has become a governmental position. The office is currently vacant and so authority over the NDZHL falls to the current Interior Minister, [[lone22wolf]].
* Archivist of the Republic. A unique position whose tasks mostly revolved around out-of-game duties, including keeping an up-to-date list of laws and maintaining the subreddit wiki. So far only held by [[Qaad]] during August 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wfphoj/delegation_archivist_of_the_republic_qaad/</ref>
* Danzilonan Artistic Director. A position currently held and created by [[Pythius]] in November 2022, the art director heads the Danzilonan Arts Directorate, which acts as a patron for local Danzilonan artists and is funded by donations.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/yriw9w/results_promotion_of_danzilonan_arts_act/</ref>
 
===Foreign Relations===
Line 161 ⟶ 160:
Founders of the FDR voted to grant citizenship to a number of past Danzilonans, regardless of their current level of activity, bringing the permanent voter roll to at least 19 citizens.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/tpmvc7/results_permanent_citizens/</ref> Along with the 10 founders, several more permanent citizens returned and became active in discussions surrounding the FDR's foundation, bringing the total active citizenry to 15 as well as 2 former [[Provincia|Provincians]] who have signaled their interest in joining after its foundation. After the server started, the population grew to 33 by June 18th.
 
As of the bi-monthly census in September 2022, 23 players counted themselves as current citizens of the FDR<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wernu7/census_third_official_census_of_the_free/</ref>. Permanent citizens are not required to fill out the census form, so the actual number of active citizens may be higher. By the time December 2022 rolled around, 18 Danzilonans had responded to the most recent census.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/ypx18y/census_5th_census_of_the_free_danzilonan_republic/</ref>
 
===Languages===
Ever since the founding of the first iteration of Danzilona, American English has remained the dominant vernacular.
As the two founders who primarily spearheaded the revival of Danzilona- Des23 and [[Lowtuff]]- are residents of the UK, many official FDR documents and founding posts are written in British English. Most FDR citizens are American, however, so American English remains the dominant vernacular.
 
===Religion===
Line 171 ⟶ 170:
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> 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>
