The Danzilonan Workers Union, also known as the D3U, is an association dedicated to the betterment of Danzilona and its surrounding communities. Currently the D3U is a private non-profit entity - it is NOT associated with the Danzilonan Government in an official capacity.

The goal of the D3U is to provide Danzilonans the opportunity to fairly and efficiently guide the nations development through a community effort.

How the D3U operates

Each Monday a [D3U Project Proposals # Date] post will be made and x-posted to /r/danzilona. This post is where members will submit one to two projects they would like the D3U to work on for that weekend. Proposals can be submitted until Wednesday at 11:59pm EST. Proposals that fail to meet this deadline can be reposted to the next weeks post.

It should be noted that there is a three day period for members to submit proposals. This large chunk of time is to foster discussion; to allow people to ask questions about the proposals, and allow members to edit their proposals based on feedback

Each Thursday a [D3U Project Vote # Date] post will be made and x-posted to /r/danzilona. This post is where members will vote on a project they would like to work on that Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Each member can cast between zero and two votes. A member must first vote for someone else's proposal before voting for their own. Voting twice on the same proposal is not allowed. Voting will start on Thursday at 12:00am EST (immediately after the proposal window closes). The vote will be open for 24h, until Thursday at 11:59pm EST.

When casting your vote (or abstaining), please mention up to three timeslots of at least one hour where you will be available on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Here is an example: "Saturday not available. Sunday 12pm-1:30pm EST. Monday 6:30pm-7:30pm EST." The three most popular timeslots will be chosen as that weeks working time. The working times will be two hours long - you do NOT have to attend all two hours.

Each Friday a [D3U Planning # Date] post will be made and x-posted to /r/danzilona. This post is for the planning of the upcoming project, and the announcement of the working times. In this post, the author of the winning proposal can declare that they would like to be responsible for the planning. However, if the author chooses not to take lead, then the D3U members will discuss how to coordinate the upcoming project.

The following Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, all D3U members are to work on the winning project during a timeslot that matches their schedule. If no timeslots match their schedule, that member is excused from working on that weeks project.

You must make an effort to attend the prior weeks working time before you can submit and vote on proposals. This rule is not to be mean, it's to keep people from not working on projects they don't like.

Membership

The D3U is open to anyone with a vested interest in the development of Danzilona. This means you DO NOT have to be a Danzilonan citizen to participate in the D3U. Whether you're part of a neighboring nation, or a new friend waiting for citizenship, all you have to do is attend a work day to gain membership! For a new friend waiting on citizenship, this a great way to show Danzilonans the value you'll bring. And for the member of a neighboring nation, this is a great way to get our communities to create shared infrastructure, such as rail lines.
