New Danzilona: Difference between revisions

'''New Danzilona''' (abbreviated as '''NDZ''') is a direct democracy located in Civcraft's +,+ quadrant. You'llIt bewas able to reach us most easily by usingon the CIC Yellow rail line, in between the [[Holy Tree]] and [[Breslau]] stops. There arewere also a number of other international and regional rail lines which connect directly to the central rail station in New Danzilona.

After the map reset was announced in the Spring of 2013, a number of residents of the original city decided to join up and found New Danzilona on Civcraft 2.0.The Danzilonans - Gant2000, Peakman2, TheTrackball, Flaminginger, TeotheAwesome - were joined by DesertArrow to start New Danzilona on the first day of the new map. Other former Danzilonans - Wingnut4096, EdwardJames, Shlemmynem - founded the Danzilonan Polo-Norse Commune of the Church of [[CivcraftImport:Ranubis|Ranubis]] (DPNCCR) nearby, and the two settlements quickly established transportation links in the area. Also in the area was a small group of friends building a settlement led by AngryAfrican. While the proximity of the Danzilonan groups caused initial hostility, friendly relations were quickly established.<ref>https://i.imgur.com/8Cpo92j.jpg</ref>

At the beginning of July, conflict arose between Weishaar and the rest of NDZ. petlahk of [[CivcraftImport:Eros Varos|ErosVaros]] built a horse shop outside of the Danzmarket since building it inside was prohibited by Weishaar's niche rule. For this, he was harassed. Upset by the enforcement of niches, absentee shop owners, and lack of competition, Danzilonan citizens gave their plea to Weish, who then, under the pressure, resigned as Lorax of the Danzmarket, giving the position to gabeknight. Mid-July saw the return of leisure activities, like building islands,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/29jj0w/the_beautiful_new_island_of_banished_built_by_des/</ref> playing hockey,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/27kn0p/ndzhl_victory_to_the_swisston_snow_shovels/</ref> and singing more songs.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSwoCco-O78</ref> This peace ended when, at the very end of July, the DZF town of Aegina was griefed by three well-known citizens of Vale (currently and more commonly known as Nexus). You can read more about that conflict [[CivcraftImport:Aegnian Indepdence#The Vale Incident|through Aeginan Independence]].

August was the beginning of an extremely turbulent next few months. In early August, Danzilonans went wild over debating about the implimentation of a federal government and how it would be structured. After almost a full month of debating, the structure of the federal government was finally decided upon on August 25th.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ehwc8/results_hybrid_government_structure_of_the_dzf/</ref> Mid-August saw heightened tensions between Aegina leader it_needs_bees and the rest of the DZF after he pearled petlahk.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2dckut/i_want_something_done_about_bees/ </ref> More about that [[CivcraftImport:Aeginan Independence#The Pearling of Petlahk|here]]. At the end of August, voting began for the new federal government positions,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2erpwy/elections_the_september_2014_elections_vote_here/ </ref> which would take effect on September 1st. The end of August also saw the beginning of a decline in activity in NDZ, either because of school or because players simply lost interest.

September 2014 was perhaps the most devastating month in Danzilonan history. This devastation was primarily caused by the [[CivcraftImport:Yurtstead War|Yurtstead War]] and the effects it had on the Danzilonan populace. Many of the core members of NDZ supported the war while the rest of NDZ was against it. NDZ was so divided that many of those for the war planned to leave NDZ to start their own city. Fearing that this would cause NDZ itself to completely die, many prominent anti-war citizens of NDZ left the city, hoping that the pro-war members would stay and hold NDZ together.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2ge3t7/a_farewell/</ref> While this mostly worked, as the pro-war members are still active today while the anti-war members have mostly gone inactive or rejoined NDZ, this exodus solidified the massive slump in activity in NDZ. The federal government fell apart, and power was given to a small emergency council.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2glizr/proposal_emergency_governance/ </ref> Afterwards, more craziness ensued when it_needs_bees attacked Eros Varos with a ghast and was consequently banned from DZF territory and bountied.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2gwkxc/why_im_declaring_bees_pos_indirect_evidence_or_not/</ref>

On March 20th, Aegina and Trackistan were made territories of NDZ], effectively leaving NDZ as the only federal city left in the DZF.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/2zrxmg/results_make_aegina_and_trackistan_territories_of/</ref>

Currently, how the government of NDZ functions is a bit fuzzy. NDZ is a part of a country called the Danzilonan Federation (DZF), which is technically supposed to have a federal government (and it did for two weeks), but when half of the government officials left NDZ following the [[CivcraftImport:Yurtstead War]], the federal government collapsed and never reformed again.
