=== Early History ===
With CivMC's launch getting delayed by a week, many Danzilonans were not able to get on immediately at launch. However, a number of them were still able to and most did within 24 hours of it. Joined by a handful of newfriends picked up on their Discord in the weeks before launch, the Danzilonans set off in the general direction of the shallow +,+, looking for a diversity of biomes and suitable spot for the Danzshaft. First settling more inland on the main +,+ continent, the Danzilonans moved to the east coast to found their city, establishing a border with the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Medi Sea|Medi Sea]]. With the discovery of the huge abundance of iron that generates on the server, much of the first week was spent on resource gathering for defensive infrastructure, though proposed layouts for the city began to be made a few days after launch.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/v5uwsw/my_proposal_for_our_initial_rough_city_layout/</ref> During this time, the Danzilonans started calling their settlement simply "Danzilona," leading the name to being commonly used to describe the entire FDR.
 
Line 104:
Several new constitutional amendments were adopted on July 29, 2022, including the renaming of government offices, formalising the appointment of undersecretaries, and the official refounding of the NDZHL.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wapsa0/results_constitutional_amendments/</ref> Some proposed amendments also failed adoption, including the creation of an executive council and a renaming of the Free Danzilonan Republic.

Line 121:
At 18:26 UTC on October 1, 2022, the First Consulship came to an end, and [[Red_Steel]] and [[lone22wolf]] assumed the offices of Defence Minister and Interior Minister, respectively.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xt169c/elections_results_for_the_october_2022_elections/</ref> In her final hours as First Consul, Des unilaterally incorporated the neighbouring nations of [[Nara]], [[Dalgon]], [[Doom City]], and [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]] as provinces of the FDR.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xt0196/congrats_to_nara_dalgon_cdm_and_doom_city_on/</ref> After assuming office, Red also announced the annexation of the [[Arsenio Pact]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xt3fsu/fdr_claim_expansion/</ref> A vote was held to formally ratify their annexations with the Danzilonan people, but the vote failed and all FDR claims to their neighbours' territories was dropped on October 10th.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/y0o169/results_annexation_offer_to_doom_city_and_dalgon/</ref>
 
=== Return to Normalcy and Confessionalist Government ===
[[File:Fdr phoenix.png|thumb|FDR's Phoenix statue, located in NDZ. Danzilona's national symbol, this image was used as a promotional poster for Danzilona's 10th anniversary.]]
On October 20, 2022, Danzilona celebrated its 10th anniversary as a community.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/y80wex/danzilona_is_celebrating_its_10_year_anniversary/</ref> During celebrations, citizens and delegates from nations across [[Alenarith]] and the [[Medi Sea (CivMC)|Medi Sea]] came to play hockey and participate in a sacrifice of [[Lowtuff]].
Line 145:
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.
 
==== 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 December 15, 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, [[Perdikkas13]].
* 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 159:
Danzilona is known for annexing some of their neighbours who had gone inactive, including [[Melia]] on August 12, 2022 and [[Gensokyo]] on August 27th of the same year.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmpw1v/psa_to_mapmakers_danzilona_has_annexed_the_melian/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wzgstn/gensokyo_is_now_a_protectorate_of_the_free/</ref> Under the First Consulship of Des23, Danzilona has also attempted to annex the neighbouring nations of Nara, [[Dalgon]], [[Doom City]], and Cortesia Del Mar.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/xt0196/congrats_to_nara_dalgon_cdm_and_doom_city_on/</ref> All aforementioned nations have since rejected annexation by the FDR.
 
== Demography==
 
===Population===
Line 175:
 
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 is 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 has 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 ===
The FDR currently has no taxes and no way to generate public funds. Projects are typically spearheaded by individuals or local organisations and paid for out-of-pocket. The lack of public funds has been a persistent issue for Danzilona, with various politican 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, as of December 15, 2022, a proposal is underway to finally establish a treasury, 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>
 
=== Transport ===
The FDR's primary industry is 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 is 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 are the dominant form of transportation, the FDR is also home to an ongoing canal-building project and is 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 has been influenced by a wide range of people. Contrasting with the many kingdoms and oligarchies found across Civ servers, Danzilona has remained a highly democratic society, meaning that the culture is influenced by everyone who comes to call themselves Danzilona, including citizens who've come and gone and those who've stayed since [[Civcraft 1.0]] and [[CivCraft 2.0|2.0]]. Danzilonans are typically described as friendly, noninvasive, and persistent, which is owed to the typically left-leaning 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, has 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 has 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 is 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 city 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 has 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 is unknown, but it likely refers to the nation's recovery after the Rancuneus griefer attacks in late 2013. A Phoenix statue is present in the capital of the FDR.
 
=== Visual art ===
Danzilonan citizen [[Mummybundles]] has 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 has created map art of [[Lowtuff]], galaxies, animals, and optical illusions.
 
==Geography==
Line 192 ⟶ 216:
 
*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 Teo River, which flows southeast from Lake Biwa, through the Teo Caverns, cutting south through Sophia, to the Ebi-Teo Canal, where the Teo goes east to flow into the Gulf of Gensokyo.
 
*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.

===New Danzilona ===
[[File:Subdivisions of ndz.png|thumb|Unofficial subdivisions of the FDR's capital city, created by [[grenadeninja21]]]]
New Danzilona (not to be confused with the [[New Danzilona|NDZ of 2.0]]) was proposed as FDR's first official jurisdiction 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 province has no version of home rule, it exists largely for zoning and cultural purposes. 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:
Line 233 ⟶ 257:
Annexed August 12th, 2022, the Melian province runs throughout southern Danzilona. It borders the Teo River and the George Strait, as well as connecting mainland Danzilona to [[Gensokyo]]. Most of Melia is covered by the Great Melian Forest, under the protection of [[DanzParks]]. Melia has one town:
 
* New Riverford, an up-and-coming settlement along the Teo River that is named after Civcraft 2.0’s [[Riverford]]. Spearheaded by Danzilonans Azelair, an oldfriend, and xDerArische, a newfriend, under construction are a Town Hall, residences, a lighthouse, and a station along the [[Copper Line]]. Many hotels and pubs also line the town's narrow streets, and a number of bridges have been built across the river to ensure easy access to the rest of Danzilona to the north.
 
===Southern Province ===
The Southern Province (SP), spanning Danzilona's southeastern Sunflower Coast to the Teo River, is mostly unsettled, but unofficially planned to become large agricultural grounds for wheat, carrots, and oak trees. The province contains four islands: Compass Island, Sandbank Island, Lush Island, and Wicker Island. To the east of the province in the Danzilona Bay is the entrance to Danzilona's Nether Portal.
[[File:SP Survey 2022-09-15.png|thumb|Survey of the Southern Province, September 2022]]
Current points of interest within the SP include:
[[File:Breadfort 2022-09-16.png|thumb|Qaad's Breadfort in the Southern Province, September 2022]]
* Dandy's, Ihazgingerpowers' tavern next to the SPFM
* The Breadfort, [[Qaad|Qaad's]] agricultural estate along the George Strait
* The Southern Province Farmer's Market (SPFM), located at the SP-Melia border. the SPFM is [[Qaad|Qaad's]] business venture providing the SP and Melia with handmade goods imported from across Danzilona. Current vendors are selling goods from New Danzilona, New Swisston, and the SP itself
* SaDud0's spooky cabin along the eastern shore
* South Station, the first stop on the [[Colonial Express]], a direct rail to [[New Swisston]] via [[Nara]]
