== History == | == 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 June 24th, 2024, three Dutch settlers went on a mission to claim a piece of land for their own.

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. | |||

Together with | 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. | |||

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 | 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. | |||
