The Newfriend Development Initiative was a military and economic alliance started by Partyland on CivClassic 2.0. It was originally called SUS and was considered no more than a meme. However after positive reception from newfriend nations regarding the alliance, the heads of the alliance decided to use it as an opportunity to build up and protect newfriends. After a majority vote, the name was changed to NDI. After Partyland dissolved on the 17th of November 2021, Äggland and Buckeye became the last two original members of the alliance.

Structure

The NDI was set up with two chambers, filled with the leaders of the nations within the alliance. The Administrative chamber was the Upper Chamber, and was made up of more established and experienced players and nations in the alliance. Qualification for the Administrative chamber was being a semi-developed nation and the leader(s) having been on the server for at least 5 months. The Lower Chamber consisted of the other nation leaders.

The structure was meant to help bring in more experienced nations and give them more decision making power in the alliance, along with providing newfriend nations the ability to grow both as a nation and expand diplomatically.

Past

The NDI used to have a single chamber where every leader had an equal voice. As time went on this became a problem as more experienced leaders were often overshadowed by newfriends, who composed a larger portion of the chamber. After a proposal from Valencia was met with general agreement the NDI had adopted its present structure.

Infrastructure

The NDI has a joint controlled territory called the NDI hub. The NDI also has a capital building in Buckeye, where embassies are established and alliance conferences are held.

SUSsy Line

The SUSsy line is an under construction rail line that will connect the member nations of NDI. The rail will allow the alliance to be better connected economically, and allow the nations to more easily support each other despite being located far away from one another. Despite the name being based on the old name for the alliance, it wasn't changed because everyone liked the name too much.
