Line 129:
After a week of intense debate, citizens of the FDR overwhelmingly voted to conduct most voting and all elections in-game rather than on their subreddit as had been done since at least 2014.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zegj2z/results_ingame_voting_act_of_2022/</ref> Some inactive citizens were staunchly opposed to the measure, but were persuaded to vote in favour of it when a sunset provision was added to the bill, requiring it to be renewed 3 months after it originally passed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zcehhn/vote_ingame_voting_act_of_2022/iywq9z8/</ref>

On December 15, 2022, the Consuls of the Provinces and the New Danzilonan Council- appointed offices which [[Des23]] created in the previous September- were officially abolished, greatly reducing the FDR's bureaucracy and government as a whole.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zma3bv/the_consuls_of_the_provinces_and_the_ndz_council/</ref>
Line 136:
With incumbent Interior Minister [[Perdikkas13]] still inactive and the rest of the Danzilonans unable to come to a consensus about how their election should account for the holiday season, the January 2023 general election simply did not occur. This left a ''de jure'' power vacuum within the Danzilonan government as the constitution does not account for such a possibility and so no resolution exists. In response, a flurry of proposals that would bring drastic changes to the FDR's government were made during the week of January 2nd. These included proposals to completely change how foreign affairs are handled, to replace the government with ''ad hoc'' working groups, and to abolish executive governance altogether.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/101nam7/proposal_1_repeal_article_3_of_the_constitution/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/1020dxz/proposals_3_and_4_eyes_of_danzilona_and_public/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/102hc7h/discussion_rethinking_government/</ref>

The constitutional crisis ended on January 9, 2023 with the prevailing reforms resulting in the abolition of the FDR's executive government and its replacement with a coalition of worker cooperatives and the office of Eye of Danzilona which replaces the Foreign Ministry.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/107n3ez/results_repeal_of_article_3_and_renaming_of_the/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/107lff4/results_the_peoples_reform_act_of_2023/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/107n2uv/results_eyes_of_danzilona/</ref>

*The Interior Minister, who is responsible for taking a monthly census and inducting new citizens, as well as offboarding inactive ones. They are also tasked with mapping out and patrolling the FDR's land claims to ensure no foreign settlements have been built on it; and
*The Defence Minister, the quasi-dictatorial position who is responsible for maintaining a standing security force and enforcing the laws of the FDR. In times of military crises, the Defence Minister has the right to expand their authority and allow themselves to, among other things, ban non-citizens from the FDR and pearl individuals without trial. In doing so, however, they risk facing a citizen tribunal for any abuses committed during a time of crisis.
* Each minister also has the power to appoint an undersecretary capable of carrying out specific duties within the bounds of their office.
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.

Line 268 ⟶ 270:
Ever since the founding of the first iteration of Danzilona, American English has remained the dominant vernacular.
=== Religion===
The FDR constitution specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of religious creed (though this was mostly intended to refer to IRL religions but ''de facto'' also applies to in-game religions until otherwise stated). However, the FDR has made a special [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|Concordat with the Church of Ranubis]], which was a prominent religion in 1.0 and 2.0 Danzilona and to which 4 of the FDR's founders belong. Disciples of Ranubis have special privileges within the FDR that members of other religions don't, such as the right to own property without becoming an FDR citizen, and the Church can claim vacant public land without prior approval by the FDR, in essence making Ranubism the established religion of the FDR.
Line 275 ⟶ 277:
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>
==
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.
===
Until December 25, 2022, the FDR had no taxes and no way to generate public funds. Projects have typically been spearheaded by individuals or local organisations and paid for out-of-pocket. The lack of public funds had been a persistent issue for Danzilona, with various political 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, on December 13, 2022, a proposal to finally establish a treasury was submitted, 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> The proposal passed on December 25th and thus established sales taxes on select item exchanges, such as the XP exchange and the iron-diamond exchange found in the FDR's capital city.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/zv7re5/results_treasury_establishment_act_of_2022/</ref>
===
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]].
==
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 Danzilonan, including citizens who've come and gone as well as 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 progressive 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.

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>
===
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 nation 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.
===
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.
Line 304 ⟶ 306:
Every listed geographical feature and natural landmark within Danzilona and its territories are under the supervision and protection of [[Danzilona Park Commission|Danzilona's Park Commission (DanzParks)]]. DanzPark volunteers are tasked to protect many of Danzilona's famous landmarks, such as Great Oak and Spruce trees, as well as preserve natural reserves like the Great Melian Forest or the snowy tundra of [[New Swisston]]. On June 15th, 2022 Danzilona government ratified the Lorax Act<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vgot4s/results_the_lorax_act/</ref>, which enforced the protection of the FDR's Great trees, making logging of these trees illegal.
===Mountains & Hills ===
Danzilona's western frontier is defined largely by the [[Alenarith#Silver Mountains|Silver Mountains]], which stretches from southern [[Doom City]], southwest through West Danzilona, [[Nara]], and [[Dalgon]]. The highest summit of the mountain range is Mount 'Av-a-rest, within Nara's eastern Ebi territory. A stunning feature of the Silver Mountains are the Teo Caverns, which formed where the northern range meets the Teo River.
Line 312 ⟶ 314:
===Rivers & Bodies of Water===
Three rivers flow through mainland Danzilona:
*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.
Line 321 ⟶ 323:
The main bodies of water within Danzilona are:
* Danzilona Bay, which sits within the eastern [[Medi Sea (CivMC)|Medi Sea]], between Danzilona and the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Eastern Shining Isles|Eastern Shining Isles]],
*[[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Lake Biwa|Lake Biwa]]
Line 327 ⟶ 329:
Danzilona hosts a number of dense forests, with the Great Melian Forest being its largest. The Great Melian Forest encompasses almost all of Melia, with the Teo River cutting right through it, separating the forest into Northern and Southern portions. Many of New Riverford's city parks and forests live within the greater Melian Forest. The second largest forest in mainland FDR is the Imbolc Forest, which lies the northeastern tip of Danzilona, along its border with [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]]. The town of Imbolc resides within this forest. In the southwestern arctic territory New Swisston lies the Swisston Tundra, a vast countryside of spruce forests and tall cliffsides.
== Provinces & Territories==
On August 7th, 2022, the FDR released an official map designed by newfriend [[cnamav]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wi1bm7/map_of_danzilona_territories/</ref>. The map divides FDR into a few provinces, pinpointing Danzilona's main settlements, transit, and landscape. As of August 12, 2022, Danzilona annexed the Melian mainlands and released an updated claims map<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmpw1v/psa_to_mapmakers_danzilona_has_annexed_the_melian/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>.
[[File:DZProvinces.jpg|alt=Map of Danzilona's provinces & territories|thumb|455x455px|Map of Danzilona's provinces & territories]]
Line 341 ⟶ 343:
New Danzilona also includes the location of the future Port of Danzilona.
=== Sophia===
Sophia is a farming province west of New Danzilona founded and maintained by [[mummybundles]]. It sits along heart of the Teo River, has a number of border markers, and contains the FDR's largest wheat farm, as well as a stop on the [[Copper Line]]. There are currently two towns within the province:
Line 347 ⟶ 349:
*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.
===Peterskogur ===
Previously known as Oberon, Peterskogur is the northernmost province of the FDR and home to the Oberon Hills. Peterskogur is named after the town the Danzilonans founded in the private Minecraft realm that they played together in before CivMC launched.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Witherston/comments/tz95rv/the_town_of_peterskogur/</ref> The province has only one town as of now:
Line 364 ⟶ 366:

*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
Line 378 ⟶ 380:
New Swisston, named after 2.0's [[Swisston]], is a Danzilonan territory located in the southwestern [[Alenarith]] antarctic. It borders [[Venne (CivMC)|Venne]] and [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mount Augusta]]'s arctic territory to the west, [[Dalgon]] to its east, and [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]]'s Ice Shelf to its south. New Swisston’s home rule charter was ratified on Sept 14, 2022<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xddtno/results_new_swisston_home_rule_act/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>, with [[lone22wolf]] being chosen as its provincial Consul<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xepz0l/delegations_consuls_of_the_provinces/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>. The province is the home of most Disciples of [[Ranubism|Ranubis]] and hosts potato, berry, and spruce tree farms as well as an ice rink.
===Eastern Shining Isles ===
{{main|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 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 ratification of the [[Lighthouse Accord]] on July 10, 2022.
===Bilgewater ===
An archipelago east of Danzilona's Southern Province. The territory was formally claimed by [[Wolken]] and is typically internationally recognised as such; however, the original newfriend inhabitants of the islands submitted themselves to be annexed by the FDR on June 15, 2022, to which the FDR obliged. The newfriends subsequently went inactive, but Danzilona continues develop the land and claim Bilgewater as their own, disputing Wolken's claim.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/x63m2y/danzilona_map_20/</ref> The islands are currently home to a dock, a mine, a fishing shack, and tunnels which connect them to each other.
