This article is about Nova Danzilona. For its predecessor, see New Danzilona.

Nova Danzilona (abbreviated NDZ) was a city in Civcraft 3.0 located in Volans, situated between the snowy extreme hills and a mushroom biome. Nova Danzilona is the second successor of Danzilona from Civcraft 1.0, and the first successor of New Danzilona in Civcraft 2.0. The Danzilonan's would eventually migrate to Civclassics 2.0 settling in Threepton, Provincia

History

Immediately after 2.0 ended, it was decided by the Danzilonans that there would be a third iteration of Danzilona. On May 12, 2016, it was decided by vote that the name of this third iteration would be Nova Danzilona (or NDZ, not to be confused with New Danzilona, also abbreviated NDZ).[1] On June 19th, the constitution for NDZ was ratified.[2] Those who break the law are tried under the NDZ Court System, which was ratified on June 24th.[3]

Nova Danzilona was founded on July 30, 2016, the first day of 3.0.[4]

The first month of Nova Danzilona's history was relatively peaceful. They built roads, decided on a flag, and, on September 1st, their first foreign representatives of 3.0 took office.[5][6][7]

In September, conflict arose. As NDZ was building their pylon, they discovered that someone else had already built one. Unable to determine who the owner is, NDZ broke the unreinforced pylon. They soon found out that the pylon belonged to Skora, a nation in the neighboring shard of Rokko Steppe. NDZ foreign reps attempted to work out a deal with Skora, offering to give back the materials they got from breaking the pylon so long as Skora would build their pylon somewhere else. Unwilling to accept, on September 12, 2016, Skora gave NDZ 24 hours to supply Skora with enough materials to build a whole pylon, or else NDZ would "face consequences." That 24 hours abruptly ended 2 hours after the ultimatum was given as Skora troopers entered and occupied NDZ.[8] After breaking a snitch and staying around for some time, the invaders left NDZ and decided to accept the original deal NDZ had offered them.[9]

Just a day later, Skora allies[10] (but not one involved with the invasion of NDZ) Crocodile Isle (simply known as the Crocs) revealed that they had built a birch farm within NDZ territory.[11]Wanting to defend their claims but without another invasion, NDZ attempted to negotiate leasing the land with them, but the leaders of Crocodile Isles simply ignored NDZ's proposal and continued building and maintaining their farm independently.[12]In response to the occupation of their homeland by foreign nations, citizens from Nova Danzilona and fellow Volantian ally Endeavor formed the Volantian Liberation Party (VLP).[13]Purposefully vague in its goals, it planned to peacefully achieve full sovereignty for Volantian nations though negotiations and winning elections that would give them the power to do so. However, the VLP was a mere front organization for its militant wing, the Volantian Liberation Front (VLF). Involving the founders of the VLP, the VLF planned to grief and blow up the Crocs' birch farm as the deadline for the ongoing leasing negotiations, September 30th, approached. However, with the announcement of the end of Civcraft announced on October 1, 2016, the VLF's plans came to a sudden halt.

Since the end of Nova Danzilona, there has been no official Danzilonan nation on any succeeding Civ servers. However, Danzilonans were actively involved in the founding of both the successor of Endeavor, Threepton, on Civclassics and the small town of Atari Springs on Civex: First Light, though the latter only lasted about a month.

Geography

NDZ is located in the shard known as The Volans, which is composed of a large floating island. NDZ is in both an extreme hills biome and a mushroom biome.

Politics

Government

Referred to as a "don't-be-a-dick-ocracy" by the locals, the government of Nova Danzilona is a combination of adhocracy and direct democracy. Since NDZ values teamwork, community, and citizen participation, individuals have a lot of personal freedom, bureaucracy is minimal, and citizens can typically do as they wish so long as they don't break the rules that govern NDZ (breaking these rules is commonly referred to as "being a dick"), which are decided upon by general consensus and a direct democratic vote.

Foreign Relations

Composed of the former U3P cities of Civcraft 2.0, Endeavor is a close ally of Nova Danzilona. They cooperate heavily in the areas of security and trade.

Economy

NDZ's economy is, traditionally, mutualistic. Citizens typically engage in fair trade of goods, either through shops or hand-to-hand transactions. Additionally, citizens also share supplies communally.

Demographics

Population

As of August 5, 2016, Nova Danzilona had a population of 15.

Languages

All Danzilonans primarily spoke some form of English, whether it be British or American.

Religion

Most Danzilonans worshiped the omniscient, all-powerful Danzcube in those days, however a minority had adopted the local cult of the Void and its goddess Vo.
