With CivMC's launch getting delayed by a week, many Danzilonans were not able to get on immediately at launch. However, a number of them were still able to and most did within 24 hours of it. Joined by a handful of newfriends picked up on their Discord in the weeks before launch, the Danzilonans set off in the general direction of the shallow +,+, looking for a diversity of biomes and suitable spot for the Danzshaft. First settling more inland on the main +,+ continent, the Danzilonans moved to the east coast to found their city, establishing a border with the [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Medi Sea|Medi Sea]]. With the discovery of the huge abundance of iron that generates on the server, much of the first week was spent on resource gathering for defensive infrastructure, though proposed layouts for the city began to be made a few days after launch.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/v5uwsw/my_proposal_for_our_initial_rough_city_layout/</ref> During this time, the Danzilonans started calling their settlement simply "Danzilona," leading the name to being commonly used to describe the entire FDR.
On June 3, 2022, the first monthly census was posted.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/v3yeo6/census_first_official_census_of_the_free/</ref> Over the course of June, the population of the FDR more than doubled, from around 12 active residents at the start of the server to around 30 by the third week of June. Along with a slate of newfriends, a number of Civcraft oldfriends also became citizens, including players formerly from [[Aytos]], the [[FSR]], and the [[U3P]].
On June 11, 2022, a mini diplomatic crisis occurred between the FDR and [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]] when the latter pearled Danzilonan citizen Vall for the crime of theft, griefing their house in the process. [[Lowtuff]] acted as Vall's attorney, who plead guilty and was sentenced to 12 hours in the end. While Danzilonans mostly personally accepted the verdict, many criticised the conduct of the pearling and the trial and drafted a petition of grievances to the CDM government, which was signed by about half of the FDR's population and posted on June 17th.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vemnfg/a_petition_of_grievances_to_the_government_of/</ref> The CDM government, in response, defended their justice system but also personally apologised to Vall for the conduct and committed to drafting an extradition treaty with the FDR. The FDR stated they would do so with them once an ambassador was elected for July 1st.

=== Religion ===
The FDR constitution specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of religious creed (though this was mostly intended to refer to IRL religions but ''de facto'' also applies to in-game religions until otherwise stated). However, the FDR has made a special Concordat with the Church of Ranubis, which was a prominent religion in 1.0 and 2.0 Danzilona and to which 4 of the FDR's founders belong. Disciples of Ranubis have special privileges within the FDR that members of other religions don't, such as the right to own property without becoming an FDR citizen, and the Church can claim vacant public land without prior approval by the FDR, in essence making Ranubism the established religion of the FDR.
Despite having an established religion, citizens have been able to enjoy extensive religious freedom and even autonomy as the Grant Priest of Ranubism has been largely busy with IRL affairs and other Disciples have been focusing on more public matters. As such, religious diversity increased among the population, bringing Disciples down from roughly a quarter of the population to just 12%. For another example, [[Mery]] Danzilonan citizens have settled on the FDR's island claims, gave the islands a name in ''mehrileh,'' and plan on building religious structures there.
