Danzilona has been a member of the [[Forum of the Medi Sea]] since June 13, 2022, maintaining cordial relations with the rest of its member states.<ref><nowiki>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/673180733053075476/996064692164378674/unknown.png</nowiki></ref>

Founders of the FDR voted to grant citizenship to a number of past Danzilonans, regardless of their current level of activity, bringing the permanent voter roll to at least 19 citizens.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/tpmvc7/results_permanent_citizens/</ref> Along with the 10 founders, several more permanent citizens returned and became active in discussions surrounding the FDR's foundation, bringing the total active citizenry to 15 as well as 2 former [[Provincia|Provincians]] who have signaled their interest in joining after its foundation. After the server started, the population grew to 33 by June 18th.
===
As the two founders who primarily spearheaded the revival of Danzilona- Des23 and [[Lowtuff]]- are residents of the UK, many official FDR documents and founding posts are written in British English. Most FDR citizens are American, however, so American English remains the dominant vernacular.

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 between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|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.
Line 140:
On July 13, 2022, the Church of Ranubis responded to the number of growing religions by launching an inquisition meant to purge non-believers from the Church and church lands.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vxu93i/great_inquisition_of_the_church_of_ranubis/</ref>

Danzilona is a coastal state in the southeastern hemisphere, along the [[Medi Sea (CivMC)|Medi]] coast of Eastern [[Alenarith]]. It has a diverse geography with mountain ranges, dense forests, vast grasslands, and sunny beaches. Danilona shares a land border with [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]] to the north, and [[Doom City]] northwest. It shares water borders with [[Nara]] to the west, [[Gensokyo]] to the south, and [[Wolken]] to the southeast. There are eight islands along Danzilona's eastern coastal border: Snake Island, two islands within DanzShaft, Compass Island, Sandbank Island, Lush Island, and Wicker Island. There are also two archipelagos off of the Danzilonan coast, the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Eastern Shining Isles|Eastern Shining Isles]] and Bilgewater.
Danzilona borders the [[Medi Sea (CivMC)|Medi Sea]] to the east, and stretches as far west as [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Lake%20Biwa|Lake Biwa]], its western border follows the Ebi River (aside from two [[Nara|Naran]] territories). On August 7th, 2022, the FDR released an official map designed by newfriend cnamav<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wi1bm7/map_of_danzilona_territories/</ref>. The map divides FDR into a few provinces, pinpointing Danzilona's main settlements, transit, and landscape. As of August 12, 2022, Danzilona annexed the Melian mainlands and released an updated claims map<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmpw1v/psa_to_mapmakers_danzilona_has_annexed_the_melian/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref>. ▼
[[File:
Every listed geographical feature and natural landmark within Danzilona and its territories are under the supervision and protection of [[Danzilona Park Commission (DanzParks)|Danzilona's Park Commission (DanzParks)]]. DanzPark volunteers are tasked to protect many of Danzilona's famous landmarks, such as Great Oak and Spruce trees, as well as preserve natural reserves like the Great Melian Forest or the snowy tundra of New Swisston. On June 15th, 2022 Danzilona government ratified the Lorax Act<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vgot4s/results_the_lorax_act/</ref>, which enforced the protection of the FDR's Great trees, making logging of these trees illegal.
===Mountain
Danzilona's western frontier is defined largely by the [[Silver Mountain range]], which stretches from southern [[Doom City]], southwest through West Danzilona, [[Nara]], and [[Dalgon]]. The highest summit of the mountain range is Mount 'Av-a-rest, within Nara's eastern Ebi territory. A stunning feature of the Silver Mountains are the Teo Caverns, which formed where the northern range meets the Teo River.
Through most of Northen Danzilona lies the Oberon Hills, which encompasses most of [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Oberon|Oberon]] and northern [[Free Danzilonan Republic#New Danzilona|New Danzilona]]. The hills are home to many of Danzilona's Great Oak trees. Another hill range lies to the west of the Danzshaft known as the NDZ Highlands, a tall hillside that separates New Danzilona from Sophia.
Some of the highest peaks in territorial Danzilona are within New Swisston, where snowy mountain ranges tear through the tundra. New Swisston's main settlement sits within a mountain valley, with low density housing and structures among the hilltops.
===Rivers & Bodies of Water===
Three rivers flow through mainland Danzilona:
*the Ebi River, which flows south from [[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Lake Biwa|Lake Biwa]] along Nara, [[Free Danzilonan Republic#West Danzilona|West Danzilona]], and [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Melia|Melia]], to the Ebi-Teo Canal, where the Ebi goes south to flow into Lake Isanagi.
*the Teo River, which flows southeast from Lake Biwa, through the Teo Caverns, cutting south through Sophia, to the Ebi-Teo Canal, where the Teo goes east to flow into the Gulf of Gensokyo.
*the George Strait, which flows west from Wicker Island within the Danzilona Bay, along Southern Danzilona and Melia's border with western Wolken, ending in the Gulf of Gensokyo.
The main bodies of water within Danzilona are:
*Danzilona Bay, which sits within the eastern [[Medi Sea (CivMC)|Medi Sea]], between Danzilona and the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Eastern Shining Isles|Eastern Shining Isles]],
*[[Geographical Regions (CivMC)#Lake Biwa|Lake Biwa]]
Danzilona hosts a number of dense forests, with the Great Melian Forest being its largest. The Great Melian Forest encompasses almost all of Melia, with the Teo River cutting right through it, separating the forest into Northern and Southern portions. Many of New Riverford's city parks and forests live within the greater Melian Forest. The second largest forest in mainland FDR is the Imbolc Forest, which lies the northeastern tip of Danzilona, along its border with [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]]. The town of Imbolc resides within this forest. In the southwestern arctic territory New Swisston lies the Swisston Tundra, a vast countryside of spruce forests and tall cliffsides.

[[File:Subdivisions of ndz.png|thumb|Unofficial subdivisions of the FDR's capital city, created by [[grenadeninja21]]]]
New Danzilona (not to be confused with the [[New Danzilona|NDZ of 2.0]]) was proposed as FDR's first official jurisdiction by [[Gant]] and adopted on June 28, 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/vmzos2/results_city_name_flag_and_territory/</ref> Although the capital province has no version of home rule, it exists largely for zoning and cultural purposes. Additionally, there are several ''de facto'' cities and towns within NDZ that operate differently based on their aesthetic, geography, and who lives there. These subdivisions include:
*

*
* Snake Island, a small island that houses a Ukrainian flag and a tree farm built by lone22wolf and grenadeninja21.
New Danzilona also includes the location of the future Port of Danzilona
