The New Danzilonan Civil War, or New Danzilona Monarchist-Socialist Conflict, was a cold war between socialist and monarchist citizens of New Danzilona on Civcraft 2.0. As both sides were still Danzilonan nationalists and close friends despite their political differences, no actual fighting took place and there were no casualties. The war primarily took form in acts of sabotage and propaganda, which both sides engaged in against each other. The first phase began when the NDZ Monarchists leader, neondan99, attempted to establish a town within the DZF that was an absolute monarchy, with himself as king.[2]After this was rejected by the Danzilonans, the two sides engaged in propaganist subreddit PVP until the NDZ Socialists formally enacted "full communism" on September 22, 2015, which included the abolition of NDZ's market district and upgrades to communal resources.[3]The second phase took place on the last day of Civcraft 2.0 and resulted in a final victory for the Monarchists after they planted a gold throne in the middle of town that the Socialists were unable to break.[4]Ultimiately, the civil war was all in good fun, and the governmental structure of the city was mostly unaffected by it.
Background
In Civcraft 1.0, New Danzilona's predecessor, Danzilona, had no formal government and was described by residents as "agrarian, socialist, and democratic," which was reinforced by its unofficial alliance with Communa, a more explicitly socialist society.[5]This largely carried over to New Danzilona on 2.0, which remained agrarian and a direct democracy with no governmental positions for the first 8 months following its foundation.
On July 28, 2013, newfriends Lowtuff and neondan99 made their way to NDZ and, upon joining, built a shack for their first primary residence.[6]Though the two were IRL friends and remained so throughout the civil war, they had completely different political leanings that led to them settling into their roles as leaders on opposite sides of the conflict.[7]
In early January 2014, NDZ citizens were debating on what kind of government they wanted to implement, or if they wished to have a government at all. neondan99 was a strong advocate for setting up a government, emphasing the city's natural departure from its traditions.[8] He specifically advised against NDZ voting on a specific government type, as he himself hoped NDZ would move away from its democratic form and towards a monarchistic one. Eventually, however, NDZ implemented a direct democratic form of government, much to the dismay of Dan.
