[[File:Dsf crew.jpeg|thumb|DSF leaders TheTrackball and killerkoala77, pictured with allies in NDZ in May 2015]]
In early spring 2014, in response to a recent massive conflict with a neighboring city and consequent invasion of NDZ,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/1yns56/griefers_cheshirelulcat_and_makanla_and_other/</ref> Danzilonans [[peakman2]] and [[TheTrackball]] founded the Danzilonan Security Force, or DSF. The DSF acted as a private military task force that has assigned itself with the duty of protecting NDZ, the U3P, and their allies. Though the DSF was not run by NDZ and was not legally required to protect and fight for the federation, it was very much obliged to do so, as most if not all of the DSF's members were Danzilonan and played a huge part in NDZ's history and politics. However, contrary to popular belief, NDZ was not accountable for the DSF's actions.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2fpjrl/psa_what_is_the_dsf/</ref>

During the Yurtstead War, an army controlled by the DZF government was created,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2fvfan/vote_the_nationalization_of_defense_act/</ref> but it was short-lived, as the federal government collapsed less than a week later.
 
== Economy ==
For essentially the first year of its existence, NDZ was agrarian and had no formal economic structure. The city had no market, as goods and services were shared communally by the residents through community chests, public farms, and food boxes. Any projects were funded either privately or by the treasury after it came into existence in early 2014. Infrastructure representatives were in charge of finding and allocating plots for potential shopkeepers, who then had free reign over the matters of their plot.
 
Line 186:
After Brotherkantor went inactive by March 2015, a new Lorax was never named, and NDZ's economy began to communize and return back to its pre-Danzmarket state over the course of the year. Chiltern Traders was given to the city, and communal federation-wide projects like Project Phoenix put a greater emphasis on supplies, wealth, and labor sharing among the Danzilonans.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2t2zf9/i_have_an_important_announcement_to_make/</ref> In September 2015, the position of the Lorax was officially abolished, and control over the wealth of the city was given to an elected treasurer.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/3ln7py/discussion_transitioning_to_full_communism/</ref>
 
== Religion ==
New Danzilona never had an official, state-sponsored religion or religions, making it ''de facto'' state secularist for its entire history. Freedom of religion was specifically enshrined in the constitution of the two-week-long DZF federal government in late 2014.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2egor1/proposal_dzf_constitution/</ref> However, various religions did spring up in the city and play large roles in the individual lives of Danzilonans. From most amount of followers to least, religions found in NDZ included but were not limited to:<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/25hei8/how_many_religions_do_we_have_in_town/</ref>
 
* [[Ranubism]] (the holy city of which, the DPNCCR, was a DZF city and NDZ territory)
* Oberon worship (founded by Gant in 1.0)
* Purpism<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/23yzou/new_danzilona_has_a_new_religion_purprism/</ref>
* Deathsquare<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2h1fyz/psa_avatar_of_a_lesser_deathsquare_being_summoned/</ref>

== Notable Landmarks ==
 
=== Danzmarket ===
 
Hailed as one of the server's largest trade districts, Danzmarket was created on the 1st of May, 2014 by Weishaar. Danzmarket quickly grew from an independent enterprise by three local merchants into a sprawling and reputable economic hub. At its height, Danzmarket resulted in an unprecedented level of activity in New Danzilona and the Danzilonan Federation. Weishaar, who used the moniker of the Lorax of Danzmarket, originally ran the trade zone as a semi-autonomous neighborhood within the Great New Danzilonan Metropolis complete with the Danzmarket Act, which established special administrative laws within the trade zone.
Line 207:
On September 22, 2015, the position of Lorax was terminated, effectively ending private ownership over the district, leading to a small revival of activity within the market.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/3lzslq/results_transitioning_to_full_communism/</ref>
 
=== S4 Arena ===
 
This ice arena was home to the Swisston Snow Shovels hockey team in the New Danzilona metro area. Its construction in late 2014 replaced the original home of the Snow Shovels located just to the East on the island of Swisston. The arena and its team were part of the hugely successful [[New Danzilona Hockey League]] which ran for three and a half seasons.
 
=== Danzilonan Seawall and River Project ===
 
In the city's infancy, many residents sought to tackle the issue of New Danzilona's location on a high plateau with steep cliffs dropping to the ocean on one side and steep cliffs dropping to the river on the other. To deal with this, the Danzilonan Corp of Engineers constructed a massive seawall stretching hundreds of meters along the coastline East, South, and West of the city. The seawall provided easy access from the cliffs above to the water below, protected walkways to traverse the cliffs, and lighting to help ships avoid crashing into the rocky crags along the shore. On the West side of the city, two massive dams had been built and the river raised to the level of the city thanks to the efforts of NDZ citizen gabeknight. The raised river provides easy access to the Westcliff neighborhood and ample power to the region via the turbines in the dams.
 
=== New Danzilona Central Station ===
[[File:Ndz station.png|thumb|First picture of NDZ's new central station, November 2014]]
Designed by [[Republic of Churchill|Churchill]]'s world-renowned architect, coolyellow, and spear-headed by Danzilonan citizen [[mummybundles]], New Danzilona's new central rail station was finished in October 2015. This project replaces the old rail station which, while functional, left much to be desired in its design. The rail station served as a transport hub in the area, and was a major gateway to cities in the deeper +,+ quadrant.
