=== Early History
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.
Line 103:
Several new constitutional amendments were adopted on July 29, 2022, including the renaming of government offices, formalising the appointment of undersecretaries, and the official refounding of the NDZHL.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wapsa0/results_constitutional_amendments/</ref> Some proposed amendments also failed adoption, including the creation of an executive council and a renaming of the Free Danzilonan Republic.
=== Danzilonan Expansion and Constitutional Crisis ===
In late July and early August 2022, civil conflict began to occur between the more anarchist-leaning Danzilonan citizens and the more democratic-minded ones. It started when, citing some oldfriend complaints of not seeing legislative proposals until they're already being voted on, citizen [[lone22wolf]] proposed the Legislative Session Act, or LSA, on July 28th.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/waj8ar/proposal_the_legislative_session_act/</ref> While the main principle of the LSA involved restricting the days that legislation could be proposed and voted on, it also included new mechanisms for conflicting legislation as well as a new finalisation phase where citizens would be able to see the final version of a piece of legislation in a new post. The proposal was controversial, as many saw the new additions as too extra and too radical of a change and, ironically, many citizens did not notice the discussions until it was too late. On August 6th, after 2 days of voting, the LSA was voted down with numerous abstentions.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/whswz2/results_the_legislative_session_act/</ref> Still believing in the core principles of the LSA, citizen Des23 re-proposed it on August 9th with some of the more controversial features removed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wkc9yx/reproposal_the_legislative_session_act/</ref> After a couple days of intense debate on both the subreddit and Discord, a consensus was finally reached, and the bill was finalised on August 11th. ▼

In response to the sudden surge in legislation, TheTrackball complained of legislative bloat, and an effort to abolish the constitution was subsequently made by [[Wingnut4096]] but failed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wgio5b/discussion_legislative_bloat/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/x5909u/vote_abolish_the_constitution_of_the_fdr/</ref>
On August 12, 2022, following negotiations with its citizens, the FDR annexed the mainland claims of [[Melia]], its southern neighbour who had gone mostly inactive, increasing Danzilona's land area by about 25%.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wmpw1v/psa_to_mapmakers_danzilona_has_annexed_the_melian/</ref>
Incumbent Defence Minister TheTrackball declared the FDR's first time of crisis in response to the spillover from the ongoing [[Estalia-Rhode Island War]] on August 19, 2022.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wsriwp/crisis_time_o/</ref> Declaring a time of crisis allows Track to seize assets he determines to be in use by enemies, pearl people without the need for a trial, and vote to strip Danzilonans of their citizenship. As of the time of this writing, however, such actions have not been taken and the Defence Ministry continues to solely focus on security infrastructure.
Following [[Gensokyo-Nara Skirmish|a conflict with Nara that resulted in two of their citizens being indefinitely pearled]], the community of [[Gensokyo]] announced their departure from CivMC on August 27, 2022 and allowed the FDR to take them on as a protectorate until they decide to return.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wzgstn/gensokyo_is_now_a_protectorate_of_the_free/</ref> In return, the FDR pledged to keep the area safe from grief and from being claimed over. Since then, the ban on Narans from Gensokyojin territory was lifted, and a [[Lusitania (CivMC)|Lusitanian]] spruce farm was built northwest of the Gensokyojin capital. On September 4th, Gensokyojin citizen Ferro was released from the Naran vault following negotiations with the Danzilonan Foreign Ministry.
The civil conflict between the anarchist Danzilonans and the democratic Danzilonans culminated in the announcement of Des23's campaign for every FDR national governmental office for the September 2022 elections.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/wzgstn/gensokyo_is_now_a_protectorate_of_the_free/</ref> Des sought to reconcile the positions between the two sides by offering the alternative of a strong central figure that did not ignore the law but bucked its traditions. Controversy arose when, simultaneously, the newly-formed [[Decent Party]] also announced their campaign for office and changed the wording on one of their proposals without prior notification, something that was not against the law but was looked down upon by most of the Danzilonans.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/wyfiab/announcing_the_decent_party_september_platform/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/x0na76/despite_sneaky_attempts_by_the_decent_party_to/</ref> The Decent Party subsequently formed an alliance with the [[Socialist Party of Danzilona]] to form a complete ticket.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/x0t7tn/statement_from_the_spd_on_the_upcoming_elections/</ref> At the end of the election, Des23 won every office, though the Decent Party refused to concede until 2 days later.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/x2z9ca/la_victoire_est_%C3%A0_nous_a_thank_you_and_inaugural/</ref> Reconciliation was offered but initially refused until Decent Party founder Qaad accepted the position as Consul of the [[Free Danzilonan Republic#Southern Province|Southern Province]] on September 17th.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xgud9d/southern_province_survey_and_census_september_2022/</ref> Afterwards, both the Decent Party (which had rebranded into the Danzilonan Reclamation Project) and Des submitted constitutional amendments, the former of which had two of their five pass and the latter of whom had none of theirs passed.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xcklwv/results_drp_legislative_package/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xcvb6r/results_provincial_consuls/</ref> Since the 12th of September, no more political reforms have been proposed.
On September 13, 2022, the FDR province of [[New Swisston]] was granted home rule by democratic vote.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xddtno/results_new_swisston_home_rule_act/</ref> Their home rule charter established a theocratic local government, and Danzilonan citizen and Disciple of Ranubis [[lone22wolf]] was named both Bishop and Consul of the province.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xku1rd/the_great_inquisition_ends_and_other_notices/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/xepz0l/delegations_consuls_of_the_provinces/</ref>
