As all Danzilonans know the guiding light of our community for this last decade has been summed up simply and succinctly as "Dont be a Dick". This vulgar and light hearted phrasing does nothing to dampen the reality that the enduring legacy of Danzilona is one of friendship and collaborative play both within and without our Republic.

On a server with a great variety of players and playstyles it is our commitment to mutual respect which has made Danzilona a respected and sought after partner by groups big and small throughout our history.

Letting new groups join into the fun of civ and pursue their own goals and projects is a natural extension of Danzilona's first principle. Monopolization of available land leads to players unable to pursue these things and leads to stagnation domestically and abroad.

If our goal is to promote having a good time on civ and not being dicks it should therefore be incumbent upon the citizens and residents of the Danzilona to encourage our fellow players. Even more so this should be an imperative among those we choose to represent us.

I hope that moving forward Danzilona can renew its commitments to its principles. That we can help each other, our neighbors and friends enjoy this game we all play.

For me, as your Foreign Minister I will be advancing an international policy based in these tenants. That will entail a dedication to the following:

1. Reduction, if not outright ending, of our participation in the toxic practice of crayon claiming

2. The promotion of Danzilona Arts and Culture domestically and abroad.

3. Seeking to attract and facilitate new Danzilonans in their goals.

4. Partnering with neighboring nations to encourage our values so that we live in a region of folks having a good time playing a fun game in a collaborative manner.
