'''Dutch-Guiana''' (Dutch: ''Nederlandsch-Guyana'') is a small colonial nation in the north of South America. Its name is derived from the indigenous word ‘guyana’ (land of many rivers) and the settlers that originated from the Netherlands. Its population mainly consists of traders, builders, and fishermen. They are known as having a strong sense of self-determination, some even showing a dwarven attitude. With its capital of [[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)|New-Amsterdam]] on the mainland, Dutch-Guiana seeks to diplomatically expand throughout the north of the continent.
== History ==
After the founding of the town of New-Amsterdam on June 24th, 2024, and with the independence from Brazil, the nation of Dutch-Guyana was created on July 16th. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation. After that, other towns had joined as well, some of which sprouted from New-Amsterdam.

On December 28, 2024, JuztinVestigium donated the capital New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Fr. Letgamerman. This started a new era for the capital and the nation.

This era is seen as the Catholic era for the Nation by Letgamerman. He plans to expand the nation in territory and diplomatically.

===Independence from Brazil===
The independence gained, after breaking off from Brazil, had sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 16th, a Brazilian player named Floppy77 created a siegetown on New-Amsterdam’s border, including hostile signs, anti-Catholic symbols like a burning St. Peter’s Cross, slander in local chat and defilement of the horizon due to a floating dirt platform. The situation even led Brazil to using spies to forward Discord messages and bribing the king of Columbia to buy Dutch-Guiana out. Brazil’s emperor, Olivio90 and Count ConfiqSon, having had tough conversations, eventually ended in a stalemate over the siegetown next to New-Amsterdam. After some more talk, Dutch-Guiana had reached a status quo on July 27th, since neither sides wanted war. However, after some time players on both sides killed each other. After having several Brazilian mediators, the Holy Catholic EMC Church offered to act as a neutral partner for peace talks. These negotiations started on July 29th, but sadly stranded on August 6th. Dutch-Guiana insisted that the siegetown would be removed, but Brazil demanded to annex two Dutch-Guianan towns and apologies for publicly spreading memes that mocked the Brazilian negotiation tactics. Dutch-Guiana did not accept these terms. On Christmas’ Eve, 2024, the siegetown had finally gone and thus the conflict was over. In order to start with a clean slate, Juztinvestigium handed down rulership to an EMC priest of the Catholic Church, Letgamerman.

===Catholic Era===
After JuztinVestigium transferred power, Dutch-Guiana started to progress down the path of a Catholic nation with both theocratic and democratic values and a Rector serving for life or until incapacitation. Moreover, the capital of the nation became the headquarters for the Diocese of Guiana. This era is currently in progress, it is unknown how long it will last and how well it will go.

== Government ==
===New Goverment===
The new government for the nation is a Democratic Theocracy. It is governed by the Rector and two bodies of the Parliament: the Religous Council and the National Assembly. This is to continue to allow citizens to help the nation while maintaining to the Catholic ties. Catholicism is the official religion of the nation, while other religions are accepted and welcomed.
Currently members of the religious council can serve on Parliament untill the interim clause is lifted. Once the Interim clause is lifted members of the religious council are prohibited to be on the parliament ballot or requested to be on the ballot.

====Religious Council====
These members are appointed by the Rector and to serve for life or in capitation. These members consist of JuztinVestigium, Donkey7720, and Augnogdrinker.

====Parliament====
The first elected Parliament for the nation of Dutch Guiana was introduced on January 8th, 2025. They were elected by the people to serve for two months. They consist of JuztinVestigium, Christastick, Confiqson, Donkey7720, and ThePacito.

===Parliament Information===
The First parliament for the nation consists of JuztinVestigium, Christastick, Confiqson, Donkey7720, and ThePacito. These members were the first eligible and voted in by the people to help run the nation.

Currently there are no political parties within the Parliament, but as they develop and get founded they will be inserted here.

===Old Goverment===
The political structure of Dutch-Guiana is a continuation of New-Amsterdam’s former meritocratic government. The triumvirate of the former council, made up of ConfiqSon, JuztinVestigium and Christastick, was in control in service of its citizens. Newcomers could attain citizenship by appealing to one of the council members, which, when successfully initiated, would result in the right have a personal quarter, the possibility to set up shop, and acces the Discord channels.

== Towns ==
===Current===
*[[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)|New-Amsterdam]] (Mayor: Letgamerman)
*[[Aurora:New Veenendaal]] (Mayor: ThePacito)
*[[Aurora:Rio Caribe]] (Mayor: donkey7720)

*Hydrapolis (mayor: SandraDaDorito)
*San Hévéa (mayor: Art4994)

== Military ==
In principle, Dutch-Guiana does not seek out war and therefore does not have an army. It may, however, call to arms when it is threatened in its self-determination. The current Army Grand Commander if needed to call to arms is Confiqson.

== Architecture ==
While every town in Dutch-Guiana is free to determine its own building style, the nation’s capital ([[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)]]) is themed as an early Dutch colony. Its main architect, JuztinVestigium, aimed to do some fully tailored city planning. This includes immersive green paths, a meaningful position of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, the Town Hall, the public library, the Parliament Building and other edifices, and paying attention to details. Note that not all buildings have been built by JuztinVestigium, so always check the signs in front of or on edifices to read who the actual architect was.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd 2024, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town. No embassies are currently within the towns. Retor Letgamerman is very open to getting an embassie once again.

'''New-Amsterdam''' is a small town located in the north of South America. It is the capital of [[Aurora:Dutch-Guiana|Dutch-Guiana]]. Its settlers are Dutch. The town was founded on top of an abandoned village that was inhabited by English speaking folk. It eventually grew into the capital of its own independent nation, Dutch-Guiana.
== History ==
On June 24th, 2024, three Dutch settlers went on a mission to claim a piece of land for their own. They succeeded by taking over an abandoned village. After two days, six chunks had been claimed and the foundations of the first building, a church, had been laid. Only three days later, the town established first contact thanks to the visit of Novaiz, a friendly player from a distant island. On June 28th, New-Amsterdam joined the nation of Brazil. On July 13th, a citizen of Casablanca, Morocco, visited JuztinVestigium. This outsider, Facada20hz, wanted to build a farm, so JuztinVestigium gave this visitor one seed of every type. In return he received Facada20hz's diamond sword. A major milestone for the town of New-Amsterdam was achieved on July 16th, when it bought its own nationhood. This meant independence from Brazil, which has sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation, of which the mayor is the earlier mentioned Novaiz.

On December 28, 2024, Father JuztinVestigium donated New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Friar Letgamerman. This started a new era for the town and the nation.

== Organization ==
Together with Councilor JuztinVestigium, Councilor Christastick and Councilor ConfiqSon make up the council or board of New-Amsterdam. On a political level, the town is part of its own independent nation, which Letgamerman is the leader of. On a religious level, New-Amsterdam is a parish functioning under the Catholic Diocese of Guiana, shepherded by bishop Letgamerman. Since the town is public, everyone can join. An appeal can be made to the council to get acces to a personal piece of land, called a quarter.

The town went under a small leadership change, a few days before the start of 2025. Namely, the town and nation came to be led by Bishop Rector Letgamerman, OFM. As of that moment, the town councilors were JuztinVestigium, Chrisastick, and Confiqson. These four officials make up the Council or Board of new Amsterdam. Politically New-Amsterdam is the capital of Dutch Guiana and its leader is Rector Letgamerman. There is a Parliament and Religious Council to govern the nation. The nation also resides within the Arch Diocese of North America under Cardinal Randov.

== Buildings ==
===Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church===
At the center of town, a church was built by JuztinVestigium. It was completed on July 1st. The church is oriented east, which is indicated by the ''ad orientam'' altar. On July 6th, ConfiqSon added a statue in front of the church, holding the local flag of New-Amsterdam. On July 8th, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of North America, Randov. The consecration also meant the creation of the parish of New-Amsterdam, which falls under the North American diocese. Even though New-Amsterdam is located in South America, the appeal for consecration was made to the North American diocese, because the South American one was inactive at the time.

===Undercroft===
Beneath the church, ConfiqSon built a hidden undercroft. It contains a treasury room, museum, armory, and an alchemy farm. The undercroft’s main space, the treasury room, was completed on July 3rd. In the museum, the town's history is being displayed, including the completion of new town buildings, churchly affairs, PVP victories, and other achievements.

===Town hall===
On July 7th, the exterior of the town hall was finished. The official building was constructed by JuztinVestigium. Its flags and architectural design should illustrate the colonial style of New-Amsterdam. This official building is facing the church tower, unifying religion and state. The mayor’s office may be found within this building, as well as helpdesks for legal matters. The town hall flies the Dutch flag, since the founders of New-Amsterdam, now known as the council, have Dutch roots.

===Marketplace===
On July 17th, a new town square together with four stores were realized by JuztinVestigium. The stores are provided with functional shops, which anyone can quickly visit by a nation teleport. The shops are aimed to compete with Mali an Brazil to get the best prices and items. The southeasternmost shop is an automatically restocking potions shop, built by JVCH_GAMING.

===Library===
On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium. The construction of the library proved to be difficult, as its first concept (made out of yellow concrete and deepslate) did not turn out as expected. Luckily, after experimenting with yellow terracotta and white concrete (and later sandstone, oak wood and diorite), the building became what JuztinVestigium had envisioned. The library has two towers, many windows and a partly glass roof, which, in combination with the light colors of its design, results in a bright and vibrant space. Within, one can find lecterns displaying player made books, which were mainly collected by ConfiqSon and Christastick in their expeditions around the world.

===Sewer System===
Traversable tunnels make underneath New-Amsterdam make up its sewer system, connecting some of the most important buildings. The underground network can be accessed at various locations in the town, but its main entrance can be found southwest of the St. Thomas Aquinas church. Not only small apartments, but also a jail and the Undercroft can found in the sewers.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd 2024, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town. No embassies are currently within the towns. Sadly, relations with Matsubara became inactive and the embassy got removed.

===Abandoned structures===
Next to the sewer entrance, one can find a building that had been abandoned. This edifice was not officially part of New-Amsterdam, but was probably left behind by a small unknown community. Currently, it is annexed by New-Amsterdam and kept as a respectful memory of the town’s origin.

===Parliament Building===
The Parliament Building is located directly across from the church, symbolically representing both natures of the government: religious and democratic. Currently it is in progress to finish soon. Once it is completed, the first parliament session will take place.

== Notable people ==
*Letgamerman: Rector of New-Amsterdam and leader of Dutch-Guiana, and EMC bishop of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. Letgamerman is also known as the Grand Marshall of the Order of the Immaculate Sword.
*ConfiqSon: Founder of New-Amsterdam. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Councillor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.

== Expansion ==
The town of New-Amsterdam has always been looking to expand. The acquisition of its nation status was therefore seen as a great milestone. Despite some rumors, they are not trying to expand by conquest or usurpation. On the contrary, the settlers of New-Amsterdam had considered themselves guests on the continent of Latin America and they wish to diplomatically blend into its socio-political structure. Even more so, they broke free from the nation of Brazil and do therefore not wish to make its current and future citizens feel limited in their self-determination or autonomy.

'''New-Amsterdam''' is a small town located in the north of South America. It is the capital of [[Aurora:Dutch-Guiana|Dutch-Guiana]]. Its settlers are Dutch. The town was founded on top of an abandoned village that was inhabited by English speaking folk. It eventually grew into the capital of its own independent nation, Dutch-Guiana.
== History ==
On June 24th, 2024, three Dutch settlers went on a mission to claim a piece of land for their own. They succeeded by taking over an abandoned village. After two days, six chunks had been claimed and the foundations of the first building, a church, had been laid. Only three days later, the town established first contact thanks to the visit of Novaiz, a friendly player from a distant island. On June 28th, New-Amsterdam joined the nation of Brazil. On July 13th, a citizen of Casablanca, Morocco, visited JuztinVestigium. This outsider, Facada20hz, wanted to build a farm, so JuztinVestigium gave this visitor one seed of every type. In return he received Facada20hz's diamond sword. A major milestone for the town of New-Amsterdam was achieved on July 16th, when it bought its own nationhood. This meant independence from Brazil, which has sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation, of which the mayor is the earlier mentioned Novaiz.

On December 28, 2024, Father JuztinVestigium donated New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Friar Letgamerman. This started a new era for the town and the nation.

== Organization ==
Together with Councilor JuztinVestigium, Councilor Christastick and Councilor ConfiqSon make up the council or board of New-Amsterdam. On a political level, the town is part of its own independent nation, which Letgamerman is the leader of. On a religious level, New-Amsterdam is a parish functioning under the Catholic Diocese of Guiana, shepherded by bishop Letgamerman. Since the town is public, everyone can join. An appeal can be made to the council to get acces to a personal piece of land, called a quarter.

The town went under a small leadership change, a few days before the start of 2025. Namely, the town and nation came to be led by Bishop Rector Letgamerman, OFM. As of that moment, the town councilors were JuztinVestigium, Chrisastick, and Confiqson. These four officials make up the Council or Board of new Amsterdam. Politically New-Amsterdam is the capital of Dutch Guiana and its leader is Rector Letgamerman. There is a Parliament and Religious Council to govern the nation. The nation also resides within the Arch Diocese of North America under Cardinal Randov.

== Buildings ==
===Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church===
At the center of town, a church was built by JuztinVestigium. It was completed on July 1st. The church is oriented east, which is indicated by the ''ad orientam'' altar. On July 6th, ConfiqSon added a statue in front of the church, holding the local flag of New-Amsterdam. On July 8th, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of North America, Randov. The consecration also meant the creation of the parish of New-Amsterdam, which falls under the North American diocese. Even though New-Amsterdam is located in South America, the appeal for consecration was made to the North American diocese, because the South American one was inactive at the time.

===Undercroft===
Beneath the church, ConfiqSon built a hidden undercroft. It contains a treasury room, museum, armory, and an alchemy farm. The undercroft’s main space, the treasury room, was completed on July 3rd. In the museum, the town's history is being displayed, including the completion of new town buildings, churchly affairs, PVP victories, and other achievements.

===Town hall===
On July 7th, the exterior of the town hall was finished. The official building was constructed by JuztinVestigium. Its flags and architectural design should illustrate the colonial style of New-Amsterdam. This official building is facing the church tower, unifying religion and state. The mayor’s office may be found within this building, as well as helpdesks for legal matters. The town hall flies the Dutch flag, since the founders of New-Amsterdam, now known as the council, have Dutch roots.

===Marketplace===
On July 17th, a new town square together with four stores were realized by JuztinVestigium. The stores are provided with functional shops, which anyone can quickly visit by a nation teleport. The shops are aimed to compete with Mali an Brazil to get the best prices and items. The southeasternmost shop is an automatically restocking potions shop, built by JVCH_GAMING.

===Library===
On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium. The construction of the library proved to be difficult, as its first concept (made out of yellow concrete and deepslate) did not turn out as expected. Luckily, after experimenting with yellow terracotta and white concrete (and later sandstone, oak wood and diorite), the building became what JuztinVestigium had envisioned. The library has two towers, many windows and a partly glass roof, which, in combination with the light colors of its design, results in a bright and vibrant space. Within, one can find lecterns displaying player made books, which were mainly collected by ConfiqSon and Christastick in their expeditions around the world.

===Sewer System===
Traversable tunnels make underneath New-Amsterdam make up its sewer system, connecting some of the most important buildings. The underground network can be accessed at various locations in the town, but its main entrance can be found southwest of the St. Thomas Aquinas church. Not only small apartments, but also a jail and the Undercroft can found in the sewers.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd 2024, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town. No embassies are currently within the towns. Sadly, relations with Matsubara became inactive and the embassy got removed.

Next to the mine entrance, one can find a building that had been abandoned. This edifice was not officially part of New-Amsterdam, but was probably left behind by a small unknown community. Currently, it is annexed by New-Amsterdam and kept as a respectful memory of the town’s origin.

===Parliament Building===
The Parliament Building is located directly across from the church, symbolically representing both natures of the government: religious and democratic. Currently it is in progress to finish soon. Once it is completed, the first parliament session will take place.

== Notable people ==
*Letgamerman: Rector of New-Amsterdam and leader of Dutch-Guiana, and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. Letgamerman is also known as the Grand Marshall of the Order of the Immaculate Sword.
*ConfiqSon: Founder of New-Amsterdam. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Councillor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.

== Expansion ==
The town of New-Amsterdam has always been looking to expand. The acquisition of its nation status was therefore seen as a great milestone. Despite some rumors, they are not trying to expand by conquest or usurpation. On the contrary, the settlers of New-Amsterdam had considered themselves guests on the continent of Latin America and they wish to diplomatically blend into its socio-political structure. Even more so, they broke free from the nation of Brazil and do therefore not wish to make its current and future citizens feel limited in their self-determination or autonomy.

'''New-Amsterdam''' is a small town located in the north of South America. It is the capital of [[Aurora:Dutch-Guiana|Dutch-Guiana]]. Its settlers are Dutch. The town was founded on top of an abandoned village that was inhabited by English speaking folk. It eventually grew into the capital of its own independent nation, Dutch-Guiana.
== History ==
On June 24th, 2024, three Dutch settlers went on a mission to claim a piece of land for their own. They succeeded by taking over an abandoned village. After two days, six chunks had been claimed and the foundations of the first building, a church, had been laid. Only three days later, the town established first contact thanks to the visit of Novaiz, a friendly player from a distant island. On June 28th, New-Amsterdam joined the nation of Brazil. On July 13th, a citizen of Casablanca, Morocco, visited JuztinVestigium. This outsider, Facada20hz, wanted to build a farm, so JuztinVestigium gave this visitor one seed of every type. In return he received Facada20hz's diamond sword. A major milestone for the town of New-Amsterdam was achieved on July 16th, when it bought its own nationhood. This meant independence from Brazil, which has sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation, of which the mayor is the earlier mentioned Novaiz.

On December 28, 2024, Father JuztinVestigium donated New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Friar Letgamerman. This started a new era for the town and the nation.

== Organization ==
Together with Councilor JuztinVestigium, Councilor Christastick and Councilor ConfiqSon make up the council or board of New-Amsterdam. On a political level, the town is part of its own independent nation, which Letgamerman is the leader of. On a religious level, New-Amsterdam is a parish functioning under the North American diocese of the Catholic Church. Since the town is public, everyone can join. An appeal can be made to the council to get acces to a personal piece of land, called a quarter.

The town went under a small leadership change, a few days before 2025. Which consisted of the Mayor being Rector Letgamerman, OFM. The town Councilors are juztinVestigium, Chrisastick, and Confiqson. These four make up the Council or Board of new Amsterdam. Politically this is the capital of Dutch Guiana, The leader is Rector Letgamerman. There is a Parliament and Religious Council to govern the nation. The nation also resides within the ArchDiocese of North America under Cardinal Randov.

== Buildings ==
===Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church===
At the center of town, a church was built by JuztinVestigium. It was completed on July 1st. The church is oriented east, which is indicated by the ''ad orientam'' altar. On July 6th, ConfiqSon added a statue in front of the church, holding the local flag of New-Amsterdam. On July 8th, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of North America, Randov. The consecration also meant the creation of the parish of New-Amsterdam, which falls under the North American diocese. Even though New-Amsterdam is located in South America, the appeal for consecration was made to the North American diocese, because the South American one was inactive at the time.

===Undercroft===
Beneath the church, ConfiqSon built a hidden undercroft. It contains a treasury room, museum, armory, and an alchemy farm. The undercroft’s main space, the treasury room, was completed on July 3rd. In the museum, the town's history is being displayed, including the completion of new town buildings, churchly affairs, PVP victories, and other achievements.

===Town hall===
On July 7th, the exterior of the town hall was finished. The official building was constructed by JuztinVestigium. Its flags and architectural design should illustrate the colonial style of New-Amsterdam. This official building is facing the church tower, unifying religion and state. The mayor’s office may be found within this building, as well as helpdesks for legal matters. The town hall flies the Dutch flag, since the founders of New-Amsterdam, now known as the council, have Dutch roots.

===Marketplace===
On July 17th, a new town square together with four stores were realized by JuztinVestigium. The stores are provided with functional shops, which anyone can quickly visit by a nation teleport. The shops are aimed to compete with Mali an Brazil to get the best prices and items. The southeasternmost shop is an automatically restocking potions shop, built by JVCH_GAMING.

===Library===
On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium. The construction of the library proved to be difficult, as its first concept (made out of yellow concrete and deepslate) did not turn out as expected. Luckily, after experimenting with yellow terracotta and white concrete (and later sandstone, oak wood and diorite), the building became what JuztinVestigium had envisioned. The library has two towers, many windows and a partly glass roof, which, in combination with the light colors of its design, results in a bright and vibrant space. Within, one can find lecterns displaying player made books, which were mainly collected by ConfiqSon and Christastick in their expeditions around the world.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd 2024, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town. No embassies are currently within the towns.

'''Dutch-Guiana''' (Dutch: ''Nederlandsch-Guyana'') is a small colonial nation in the north of South America. Its name is derived from the indigenous word ‘guyana’ (land of many rivers) and the settlers that originated from the Netherlands. Its population mainly consists of traders, builders, and fishermen. They are known as having a strong sense of self-determination, some even showing a dwarven attitude. With its capital of [[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)|New-Amsterdam]] on the mainland, Dutch-Guiana seeks to diplomatically expand throughout the north of the continent.
== History ==
After the founding of the town of New-Amsterdam on June 24th, 2024, and with the independence from Brazil, the nation of Dutch-Guyana was created on July 16th. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation. After that, other towns had joined as well, some of which sprouted from New-Amsterdam.

On December 28, 2024, JuztinVestigium donated the capital New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Fr. Letgamerman. This started a new era for the capital and the nation.

This era is seen as the Catholic era for the Nation by Letgamerman. He plans to expand the nation in territory and diplomatically.

===Independence from Brazil===
The independence gained, after breaking off from Brazil, had sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 16th, a Brazilian player named Floppy77 created a siegetown on New-Amsterdam’s border, including hostile signs, anti-Catholic symbols like a burning St. Peter’s Cross, slander in local chat and defilement of the horizon due to a floating dirt platform. The situation even led Brazil to using spies to forward Discord messages and bribing the king of Columbia to buy Dutch-Guiana out. Brazil’s emperor, Olivio90 and Count ConfiqSon, having had tough conversations, eventually ended in a stalemate over the siegetown next to New-Amsterdam. After some more talk, Dutch-Guiana had reached a status quo on July 27th, since neither sides wanted war. However, after some time players on both sides killed each other. After having several Brazilian mediators, the Holy Catholic EMC Church offered to act as a neutral partner for peace talks. These negotiations started on July 29th, but sadly stranded on August 6th. Dutch-Guiana insisted that the siegetown would be removed, but Brazil demanded to annex two Dutch-Guianan towns and apologies for publicly spreading memes that mocked the Brazilian negotiation tactics. Dutch-Guiana did not accept these terms. On Christmas’ Eve, 2024, the siegetown had finally gone and thus the conflict was over. In order to start with a clean slate, Juztinvestigium handed down rulership to an EMC priest of the Catholic Church, Letgamerman.

===Catholic Era===
As Dutch-Guiana starts to progress down the path of a Catholic nation with democratic parts and a Rector Serving life or until incapacitation. The capital of the nation is currently decided to be the headquarters for the future Diocese of Guiana. This era is currently in progress, it is unknown how long it will last and how well it will go.

== Government ==
===New Goverment===
The new government for the nation is a Democratic Theocracy. It is governed by the Rector and two bodies of the Parliament: the Religous Council and the National Assembly. This is to continue to allow citizens to help the nation while maintaining to the Catholic ties. Catholicism is the official religion of the nation, while other religions are accepted and welcomed.
Currently members of the religious council can serve on Parliament untill the interim clause is lifted. Once the Interim clause is lifted members of the religious council are prohibited to be on the parliament ballot or requested to be on the ballot.

====Religious Council====
These members are appointed by the Rector and to serve for life or in capitation. These members consist of JuztinVestigium, Donkey7720, and Augnogdrinker.

====Parliament====
The first elected Parliament for the nation of Dutch Guiana was introduced on January 8th, 2025. They were elected by the people to serve for two months. They consist of JuztinVestigium, Christastick, Confiqson, Donkey7720, and ThePacito.

===Parliament Information===
The First parliament for the nation consists of JuztinVestigium, Christastick, Confiqson, Donkey7720, and ThePacito. These members were the first eligible and voted in by the people to help run the nation.

Currently there are no political parties within the Parliament, but as they develop and get founded they will be inserted here.

===Old Goverment===
The political structure of Dutch-Guiana is a continuation of New-Amsterdam’s former meritocratic government. The triumvirate of the former council, made up of ConfiqSon, JuztinVestigium and Christastick, was in control in service of its citizens. Newcomers could attain citizenship by appealing to one of the council members, which, when successfully initiated, would result in the right have a personal quarter, the possibility to set up shop, and acces the Discord channels.

== Towns ==
===Current===
*[[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)|New-Amsterdam]] (Mayor: Letgamerman)
*[[Aurora:New Veenendaal]] (Mayor: ThePacito)
*[[Aurora:Rio Caribe]] (Mayor: donkey7720)

===Former Towns===
*[[Aurora:Town of Tobago (Dutch Guiana)|Tobago]] (mayor: Atoris_)
*Hydrapolis (mayor: SandraDaDorito)
*San Hévéa (mayor: Art4994)
*Carlos del Río (mayor: Spartan_A2008)

== Military ==
In principle, Dutch-Guiana does not seek out war and therefore does not have an army. It may, however, call to arms when it is threatened in its self-determination. The current Army Grand Commander if needed to call to arms is Confiqson.

== Architecture ==
While every town in Dutch-Guiana is free to determine its own building style, the nation’s capital ([[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)]]) is themed as an early Dutch colony. Its main architect, JuztinVestigium, aimed to do some fully tailored city planning. This includes immersive green paths, a meaningful position of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and other buildings, and paying attention to details. Note that not all buildings have been built by JuztinVestigium, so always check the signs in front of or on edifices to read who the actual architect was.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd 2024, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town. No embassies are currently within the towns. Retor Letgamerman is very open to getting an embassie once again.

== Notable people ==
*Letgamerman: Rector of New-Amsterdam and leader of Dutch-Guiana, and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church.
*ConfiqSon: Founder of New-Amsterdam. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Councillor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.

'''Dutch-Guiana''' (Dutch: ''Nederlandsch-Guyana'') is a small colonial nation in the north of South America. Its name is derived from the indigenous word ‘guyana’ (land of many rivers) and the settlers that originated from the Netherlands. Its population mainly consists of traders, builders, and fishermen. They are known as having a strong sense of self-determination, some even showing a dwarven attitude. With its capital of [[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)|New-Amsterdam]] on the mainland, Dutch-Guiana seeks to diplomatically expand throughout the north of the continent.
== History ==
After the founding of the town of New-Amsterdam on June 24th, 2024, and with the independence from Brazil, the nation of Dutch-Guyana was created on July 16th. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation. After that, other towns had joined as well, some of which sprouted from New-Amsterdam.

On December 28, 2024, JuztinVestigium donated the capital New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Fr. Letgamerman. This started a new era for the capital and the nation.

This era is seen as the Catholic era for the Nation by Letgamerman. He plans to expand the nation in territory and diplomatically.

===Independence from Brazil===
The independence gained, after breaking off from Brazil, had sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 16th, a Brazilian player named Floppy77 created a siegetown on New-Amsterdam’s border, including hostile signs, anti-Catholic symbols like a burning St. Peter’s Cross, slander in local chat and defilement of the horizon due to a floating dirt platform. The situation even led Brazil to using spies to forward Discord messages and bribing the king of Columbia to buy Dutch-Guiana out. Brazil’s emperor, Olivio90 and Count ConfiqSon, having had tough conversations, eventually ended in a stalemate over the siegetown next to New-Amsterdam. After some more talk, Dutch-Guiana had reached a status quo on July 27th, since neither sides wanted war. However, after some time players on both sides killed each other. After having several Brazilian mediators, the Holy Catholic EMC Church offered to act as a neutral partner for peace talks. These negotiations started on July 29th, but sadly stranded on August 6th. Dutch-Guiana insisted that the siegetown would be removed, but Brazil demanded to annex two Dutch-Guianan towns and apologies for publicly spreading memes that mocked the Brazilian negotiation tactics. Dutch-Guiana did not accept these terms. On Christmas’ Eve, 2024, the siegetown had finally gone and thus the conflict was over. In order to start with a clean slate, Juztinvestigium handed down rulership to an EMC priest of the Catholic Church, Letgamerman.

===Catholic Era===
As Dutch-Guiana starts to progress down the path of a Catholic nation with democratic parts and a Rector Serving life or until incapacitation. The capital of the nation is currently decided to be the headquarters for the future Diocese of Guiana. This era is currently in progress, it is unknown how long it will last and how well it will go.

== Government ==
===New Goverment===
The new government for the nation is a Democratic Theocracy. It is governed by the Rector and two bodies of the Parliament: the Religous Council and the National Assembly. This is to continue to allow citizens to help the nation while maintaining to the Catholic ties. Catholicism is the official religion of the nation, while other religions are accepted and welcomed.
Currently members of the religious council can serve on Parliament untill the interim clause is lifted. Once the Interim clause is lifted members of the religious council are prohibited to be on the parliament ballot or requested to be on the ballot.

====Religious Council====
These members are appointed by the Rector and to serve for life or in capitation. These members consist of JuztinVestigium, Donkey7720, and Augnogdrinker.

====Parliament====
The first elected Parliament for the nation of Dutch Guiana was introduced on January 8th, 2025. They were elected by the people to serve for two months. They consist of JuztinVestigium, Christastick, Confiqson, Donkey7720, and ThePacito.

===Parliament Information===
The First parliament for the nation consists of JuztinVestigium, Christastick, Confiqson, Donkey7720, and ThePacito. These members were the first eligible and voted in by the people to help run the nation.

Currently there are no political parties within the Parliament, but as they develop and get founded they will be inserted here.

===Old Goverment===
The political structure of Dutch-Guiana is a continuation of New-Amsterdam’s. This means that the triumvirate of the council, made up of ConfiqSon, JuztinVestigium and Christastick, is in merocratic control in service of its citizens. Newcomers can attain citizenship by appealing to one of the council members, which, when successfully initiated, will result in the right have a personal quarter, the possibility to set up shop, and acces the Discord channels.

'''New-Amsterdam''' is a small town located in the north of South America. It is the capital of [[Aurora:Dutch-Guiana|Dutch-Guiana]]. Its settlers are Dutch. The town was founded on top of an abandoned village that was inhabited by English speaking folk. It eventually grew into the capital of its own independent nation, Dutch-Guiana.
== History ==
On June 24th, 2024, three Dutch settlers went on a mission to claim a piece of land for their own. They succeeded by taking over an abandoned village. After two days, six chunks had been claimed and the foundations of the first building, a church, had been laid. Only three days later, the town established first contact thanks to the visit of Novaiz, a friendly player from a distant island. On June 28th, New-Amsterdam joined the nation of Brazil. On July 13th, a citizen of Casablanca, Morocco, visited JuztinVestigium. This outsider, Facada20hz, wanted to build a farm, so JuztinVestigium gave this visitor one seed of every type. In return he received Facada20hz's diamond sword. A major milestone for the town of New-Amsterdam was achieved on July 16th, when it bought its own nationhood. This meant independence from Brazil, which has sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation, of which the mayor is the earlier mentioned Novaiz.

On December 28, 2024, Father JuztinVestigium donated New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Friar Letgamerman. This started a new era for the town and the nation.

== Organization ==
Together with Councilor JuztinVestigium, Councilor Christastick and Councilor ConfiqSon make up the council or board of New-Amsterdam. On a political level, the town is part of its own independent nation, which ConfiqSon is the leader of. On a religious level, New-Amsterdam is a parish functioning under the North American diocese of the Catholic Church. Since the town is public, everyone can join. An appeal can be made to the council to get acces to a personal piece of land, called a quarter.

The town went under a small leadership change, a few days before 2025. Which consisted of the Mayor being Rector Letgamerman, OFM. The town Councilors are juztinVestigium, Chrisastick, and Confiqson. These four make up the Council or Board of new Amsterdam. Politically this is the capital of Dutch Guiana, The leader is Rector Letgamerman. There is a Parliament and Religious Council to govern the nation. The nation also resides within the ArchDiocese of North America under Cardinal Randov.

== Buildings ==
===Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church===
At the center of town, a church was built by JuztinVestigium. It was completed on July 1st. The church is oriented east, which is indicated by the ''ad orientam'' altar. On July 6th, ConfiqSon added a statue in front of the church, holding the local flag of New-Amsterdam. On July 8th, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of North America, Randov. The consecration also meant the creation of the parish of New-Amsterdam, which falls under the North American diocese. Even though New-Amsterdam is located in South America, the appeal for consecration was made to the North American diocese, because the South American one was inactive at the time.

===Undercroft===
Beneath the church, ConfiqSon built a hidden undercroft. It contains a treasury room, museum, armory, and an alchemy farm. The undercroft’s main space, the treasury room, was completed on July 3rd. In the museum, the town's history is being displayed, including the completion of new town buildings, churchly affairs, PVP victories, and other achievements.

===Town hall===
On July 7th, the exterior of the town hall was finished. The official building was constructed by JuztinVestigium. Its flags and architectural design should illustrate the colonial style of New-Amsterdam. This official building is facing the church tower, unifying religion and state. The mayor’s office may be found within this building, as well as helpdesks for legal matters. The town hall flies the Dutch flag, since the founders of New-Amsterdam, now known as the council, have Dutch roots.

===Marketplace===
On July 17th, a new town square together with four stores were realized by JuztinVestigium. The stores are provided with functional shops, which anyone can quickly visit by a nation teleport. The shops are aimed to compete with Mali an Brazil to get the best prices and items. The southeasternmost shop is an automatically restocking potions shop, built by JVCH_GAMING.

===Library===
On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium. The construction of the library proved to be difficult, as its first concept (made out of yellow concrete and deepslate) did not turn out as expected. Luckily, after experimenting with yellow terracotta and white concrete (and later sandstone, oak wood and diorite), the building became what JuztinVestigium had envisioned. The library has two towers, many windows and a partly glass roof, which, in combination with the light colors of its design, results in a bright and vibrant space. Within, one can find lecterns displaying player made books, which were mainly collected by ConfiqSon and Christastick in their expeditions around the world.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd 2024, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town. No embassies are currently within the towns.

===Abandoned structures===
Next to the mine entrance, one can find a building that had been abandoned. This edifice was not officially part of New-Amsterdam, but was probably left behind by a small unknown community. Currently, it is annexed by New-Amsterdam and kept as a respectful memory of the town’s origin.

===Parliament Building===
The Parliament Building is located directly across from the church, symbolically representing both natures of the government: religious and democratic. Currently it is in progress to finish soon. Once it is completed, the first parliament session will take place.

== Notable people ==
*Letgamerman: Rector of New-Amsterdam and leader of Dutch-Guiana, and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. Letgamerman is also known as the Grand Marshall of the Order of the Immaculate Sword.
*ConfiqSon: Founder of New-Amsterdam. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Councillor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.

== Expansion ==
The town of New-Amsterdam has always been looking to expand. The acquisition of its nation status was therefore seen as a great milestone. Despite some rumors, they are not trying to expand by conquest or usurpation. On the contrary, the settlers of New-Amsterdam had considered themselves guests on the continent of Latin America and they wish to diplomatically blend into its socio-political structure. Even more so, they broke free from the nation of Brazil and do therefore not wish to make its current and future citizens feel limited in their self-determination or autonomy.

'''New-Amsterdam''' is a small town located in the north of South America. It is the capital of [[Aurora:Dutch-Guiana|Dutch-Guiana]]. Its settlers are Dutch. The town was founded on top of an abandoned village that was inhabited by English speaking folk. It eventually grew into the capital of its own independent nation, Dutch-Guiana.
== History ==
On June 24th, 2024, three Dutch settlers went on a mission to claim a piece of land for their own. They succeeded by taking over an abandoned village. After two days, six chunks had been claimed and the foundations of the first building, a church, had been laid. Only three days later, the town established first contact thanks to the visit of Novaiz, a friendly player from a distant island. On June 28th, New-Amsterdam joined the nation of Brazil. On July 13th, a citizen of Casablanca, Morocco, visited JuztinVestigium. This outsider, Facada20hz, wanted to build a farm, so JuztinVestigium gave this visitor one seed of every type. In return he received Facada20hz's diamond sword. A major milestone for the town of New-Amsterdam was achieved on July 16th, when it bought its own nationhood. This meant independence from Brazil, which has sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation, of which the mayor is the earlier mentioned Novaiz.

On December 28, 2025, JuztinVestigium donated New-Amsterdam to the EMC Catholic Church, by transferring power to Fr. Letgamerman. This started a new era for the town and the nation.

== Organization ==
Together with councillor JuztinVestigium, councillor Christastick and councillor ConfiqSon make up the council or board of New-Amsterdam. On a political level, the town is part of its own independent nation, which ConfiqSon is the leader of. On a religious level, New-Amsterdam is a parish functioning under the North American diocese of the Catholic Church. Since the town is public, everyone can join. An appeal can be made to the council to get acces to a personal piece of land, called a quarter.

== Buildings ==
===Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church===
At the center of town, a church was built by JuztinVestigium. It was completed on July 1st. The church is oriented east, which is indicated by the ''ad orientam'' altar. On July 6th, ConfiqSon added a statue in front of the church, holding the local flag of New-Amsterdam. On July 8th, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of North America, Randov. The consecration also meant the creation of the parish of New-Amsterdam, which falls under the North American diocese. Even though New-Amsterdam is located in South America, the appeal for consecration was made to the North American diocese, because the South American one was inactive at the time.

===Undercroft===
Beneath the church, ConfiqSon built a hidden undercroft. It contains a treasury room, museum, armory, and an alchemy farm. The undercroft’s main space, the treasury room, was completed on July 3rd. In the museum, the town's history is being displayed, including the completion of new town buildings, churchly affairs, PVP victories, and other achievements.

===Town hall===
On July 7th, the exterior of the town hall was finished. The official building was constructed by JuztinVestigium. Its flags and architectural design should illustrate the colonial style of New-Amsterdam. This official building is facing the church tower, unifying religion and state. The mayor’s office may be found within this building, as well as helpdesks for legal matters. The town hall flies the Dutch flag, since the founders of New-Amsterdam, now known as the council, have Dutch roots.

===Marketplace===
On July 17th, a new townsquare together with four stores were realized by JuztinVestigium. The stores are provided with functional shops, which anyone can quickly visit by a nation teleport. The shops are aimed to compete with Mali an Brazil to get the best prices and items. The southeasternmost shop is an automatically restocking potions shop, built by JVCH_GAMING.

===Library===
On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium. The construction of the library proved to be difficult, as its first concept (made out of yellow concrete and deepslate) did not turn out as expected. Luckily, after experimenting with yellow terracotta and white concrete (and later sandstone, oak wood and diorite), the building became what JuztinVestigium had envisioned. The library has two towers, many windows and a partly glass roof, which, in combination with the light colors of its design, results in a bright and vibrant space. Within, one can find lecterns displaying player made books, which were mainly collected by ConfiqSon and Christastick in their expeditions around the world.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town.

===Abandoned structures===
Next to the mine entrance, one can find a building that had been abandoned. This edifice was not officially part of New-Amsterdam, but was probably left behind by a small unknown community. Currently, it is annexed by New-Amsterdam and kept as a respectful memory of the town’s origin.

== Notable people ==
*Letgamerman: Rector of New-Amsterdam and leader of Dutch-Guiana.
*ConfiqSon: Founder of New-Amsterdam. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Councillor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.

== Expansion ==
The town of New-Amsterdam has always been looking to expand. The acquisition of its nation status was therefore seen as a great milestone. Despite some rumors, they are not trying to expand by conquest or usurpation. On the contrary, the settlers of New-Amsterdam had considered themselves guests on the continent of Latin America and they wish to diplomatically blend into its socio-political structure. Even more so, they broke free from the nation of Brazil and do therefore not wish to make its current and future citizens feel limited in their self-determination or autonomy.

After two days, six chunks had been claimed and the foundations of the first building, a church, had been laid.

On July 13th, a citizen of Casablanca, Morocco, visited JuztinVestigium. This outsider, Facada20hz, wanted to build a farm, so JuztinVestigium gave this visitor one seed of every type.

This meant independence from Brazil, which has sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation, of which the mayor is the earlier mentioned Novaiz.

Together with councillor JuztinVestigium, councillor Christastick and councillor ConfiqSon make up the council or board of New-Amsterdam. On a political level, the town is part of its own independent nation, which ConfiqSon is the leader of. On a religious level, New-Amsterdam is a parish functioning under the North American diocese of the Catholic Church. Since the town is public, everyone can join. An appeal can be made to the council to get acces to a personal piece of land, called a quarter.

===Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church===
At the center of town, a church was built by JuztinVestigium. It was completed on July 1st. The church is oriented east, which is indicated by the ''ad orientam'' altar. On July 6th, ConfiqSon added a statue in front of the church, holding the local flag of New-Amsterdam. On July 8th, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of North America, Randov.

Even though New-Amsterdam is located in South America, the appeal for consecration was made to the North American diocese, because the South American one was inactive at the time.

===Undercroft===
Beneath the church, ConfiqSon built a hidden undercroft. It contains a treasury room, museum, armory, and an alchemy farm. The undercroft’s main space, the treasury room, was completed on July 3rd. In the museum, the town's history is being displayed, including the completion of new town buildings, churchly affairs, PVP victories, and other achievements.

===Town hall===
On July 7th, the exterior of the town hall was finished. The official building was constructed by JuztinVestigium. Its flags and architectural design should illustrate the colonial style of New-Amsterdam. This official building is facing the church tower, unifying religion and state. The mayor’s office may be found within this building, as well as helpdesks for legal matters. The town hall flies the Dutch flag, since the founders of New-Amsterdam, now known as the council, have Dutch roots.

===Marketplace===
On July 17th, a new townsquare together with four stores were realized by JuztinVestigium. The stores are provided with functional shops, which anyone can quickly visit by a nation teleport. The shops are aimed to compete with Mali an Brazil to get the best prices and items. The southeasternmost shop is an automatically restocking potions shop, built by JVCH_GAMING.

===Library===
On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium. The construction of the library proved to be difficult, as its first concept (made out of yellow concrete and deepslate) did not turn out as expected. Luckily, after experimenting with yellow terracotta and white concrete (and later sandstone, oak wood and diorite), the building became what JuztinVestigium had envisioned. The library has two towers, many windows and a partly glass roof, which, in combination with the light colors of its design, results in a bright and vibrant space. Within, one can find lecterns displaying player made books, which were mainly collected by ConfiqSon and Christastick in their expeditions around the world.

===Embassies===
On August 3rd, Pelhina built the first physical embassy in the capital. Pelhina is a resident of Matsubara, a Japanese town.

===Abandoned structures===
Next to the mine entrance, one can find a building that had been abandoned. This edifice was not officially part of New-Amsterdam, but was probably left behind by a small unknown community. Currently, it is annexed by New-Amsterdam and kept as a respectful memory of the town’s origin.

== Notable people ==
*ConfiqSon: Mayor and founder of New-Amsterdan and leader of Dutch-Guiana. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Councillor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.

== Expansion ==
The town of New-Amsterdam has always been looking to expand. The acquisition of its nation status was therefore seen as a great milestone. Despite some rumors, they are not trying to expand by conquest or usurpation. On the contrary, the settlers of New-Amsterdam had considered themselves guests on the continent of Latin America and they wish to diplomatically blend into its socio-political structure. Even more so, they broke free from the nation of Brazil and do therefore not wish to make its current and future citizens feel limited in their self-determination or autonomy.

Despite some rumors, they are not trying to expand by conquest or usurpation. On the contrary, the settlers of New-Amsterdam had considered themselves guests on the continent of Latin America and they wish to diplomatically blend into its socio-political structure. Even more so, they broke free from the nation of Brazil and do therefore not wish to make its current and future citizens feel limited in their self-determination or autonomy.

'''New-Amsterdam''' is a small town located in the north of South America. It is the capital of [[Aurora:Dutch-Guiana|Dutch-Guiana]]. Its settlers are Dutch. The town was founded on top of an abandoned village that was inhabited by English speaking folk. It eventually grew into the capital of its own independent nation, Dutch-Guiana.
== History ==
On June 24th, 2024, three Dutch settlers went on a mission to claim a piece of land for their own. They succeeded by taking over an abandoned village. After two days, six chunks had been claimed and the foundations of the first building, a church, had been laid. Only three days later, the town established first contact thanks to the visit of Novaiz, a friendly player from a distant island. On June 28th, New-Amsterdam joined the nation of Brazil. On July 13th, a citizen of Casablanca, Morocco, visited JuztinVestigium. This outsider, Facada20hz, wanted to build a farm, so JuztinVestigium gave this visitor one seed of every type. In return he received Facada20hz's diamond sword. A major milestone for the town of New-Amsterdam was achieved on July 16th, when it bought its own nationhood. This meant independence from Brazil, which has sadly caused some friction between the two nations. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation, of which the mayor is the earlier mentioned Novaiz.

== Organization ==
Together with councillor JuztinVestigium, councillor Christastick and councillor ConfiqSon make up the council or board of New-Amsterdam. On a political level, the town is part of its own independent nation, which ConfiqSon is the leader of. On a religious level, New-Amsterdam is a parish functioning under the North American diocese of the Catholic Church. Since the town is public, everyone can join. An appeal can be made to the council to get acces to a personal piece of land, called a quarter.

== Buildings ==
===Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church===
At the center of town, a church was built by JuztinVestigium. It was completed on July 1st. The church is oriented east, which is indicated by the ''ad orientam'' altar. On July 6th, ConfiqSon added a statue in front of the church, holding the local flag of New-Amsterdam. On July 8th, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of North America, Randov. The consecration also meant the creation of the parish of New-Amsterdam, which falls under the North American diocese. Even though New-Amsterdam is located in South America, the appeal for consecration was made to the North American diocese, because the South American one was inactive at the time.

===Undercroft===
Beneath the church, ConfiqSon built a hidden undercroft. It contains a treasury room, museum, armory, and an alchemy farm. The undercroft’s main space, the treasury room, was completed on July 3rd. In the museum, the town's history is being displayed, including the completion of new town buildings, churchly affairs, PVP victories, and other achievements.

===Town hall===
On July 7th, the exterior of the town hall was finished. Its flags and architectural design should illustrate the colonial style of New-Amsterdam. This official building is facing the church tower, unifying religion and state. The mayor’s office may be found within this building, as well as helpdesks for legal matters. The town hall flies the Dutch flag, since the founders of New-Amsterdam, now known as the council, have Dutch roots.

===Marketplace===
On July 17th, a new townsquare together with four stores were finished. The stores are provided with functional shops, which anyone can quickly visit by a nation teleport. The shops are aimed to compete with Mali an Brazil to get the best prices and items. There is also a automatically restocking potions shop.

===Abandoned structures===
Next to the mine entrance, one can find a building that had been abandoned. This edifice was not officially part of New-Amsterdam, but was probably left behind by a small unknown community. Currently, it is annexed by New-Amsterdam and kept as a respectful memory of the town’s origin.

== Notable people ==
*ConfiqSon: Mayor and founder of New-Amsterdan and leader of Dutch-Guiana. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Councillor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.

== Expansion ==
The town of New-Amsterdam has always been looking to expand. The acquisition of its nation status was therefore seen as a great milestone. Despite some rumors, they are not trying to expand by conquest or usurpation. On the contrary, the settlers of New-Amsterdam had considered themselves guests on the continent of Latin America and they wish to diplomatically blend into its socio-political structure. Even more so, they broke free from the nation of Brazil and do therefore not wish to make its current and future citizens feel limited in their self-determination or autonomy.

'''Dutch-Guiana''' (Dutch: ''Nederlandsch-Guyana'') is a small colonial nation in the north of South America. Its name is derived from the indigenous word ‘guyana’ (land of many rivers) and the settlers that originated from the Netherlands. Its population mainly consists of traders, builders, and fishermen. They are known as having a strong sense of self-determination, some even showing a dwarven attitude. With its capital of [[Aurora:New-Amsterdam (South America)|New-Amsterdam]] on the mainland, Dutch-Guiana seeks to diplomatically expand throughout the north of the continent.
== History ==
After the founding of the town of New-Amsterdam on June 24th, 2024, and with the independence from Brazil, the nation of Dutch-Guyana was created on July 16th. On July 20th, the very first outsider town, Tabago, joined the nation. After that, other towns had joined as well, some of which sprouted from New-Amsterdam.

===Independence from Brazil===
The independence gained, after breaking off from Brazil, had sadly caused some friction between the two nations. The situation even led Brazil to using spies to forward Discord messages and bribing the king of Columbia to buy Dutch-Guiana out. Brazil’s emperor, Olivio90 and Count ConfiqSon, having had tough conversations, eventually ended in a stalemate over the claimblock next to New-Amsterdam. After some more talk, Dutch-Guiana had reached a diplomatic solution on July 27th, since neither sides wanted war. They concluded that it all was a misunderstanding. As of now, Brazil will not bother Dutch-Guiana if they do not bother them. Thus, citizens have been told to not cause any provocations.

== Government ==
The political structure of Dutch-Guiana is a continuation of New-Amsterdam’s. This means that the triumvirate of the council, made up of ConfiqSon, JuztinVestigium and Christastick, is in merocratic control in service of its citizens. Newcomers can attain citizenship by appealing to one of the council members, which, when successfully initiated, will result in the right have a personal quarter, the possibility to set up shop, and acces the Discord channels.

== Towns ==
*New-Amsterdam (mayor: ConfiqSon)
*Tobago (mayor: Novaiz)
*Hydrapolis (mayor: SandraDaDorito)
*San Hévéa (mayor: Art4994)
*Carlos del Río (mayor: Spartan_A2008)

== Military ==
In principle, Dutch-Guiana does not seek out war and therefore does not have an army. It may, however, call to arms when it is threatened in its self-determination.

== Architecture ==
While every town in Dutch-Guiana is free to determine its own building style, the nation’s capital is themed as an early Dutch colony. Its main architect, JuztinVestigium, aimed to do some fully tailored city planning. This includes immersive green paths, a meaningful position of the St. T. Aquinas Catholic Church and other buildings, and paying attention to details. Note that not all buildings have been built by JuztinVestigium, so always check the signs in front of or on edifices to read who the actual architect was.

== Notable People ==
*ConfiqSon: Mayor and founder of New-Amsterdan and leader of Dutch-Guiana. ConfiqSon is also known for his PVP and trading conquests.
*JuztinVestigium: Chancellor and EMC priest of the EMC Holy Catholic Church. JuztinVestigium is also known for being the architect of New-Amsterdam's landmarks and infrastructure.
*Christastick: Councillor and prankster. Christastick has a Dwarven attitude and is responsible for New-Amsterdam's mine.
