Nieuw Zeeland
Niuew Zeeland is a dutch speaking island city located in the South Sandwich islands in the South Atlantic, founded by Count F1rret and MilanB09 on the 8th of June 2023. Niuew Zeeland was named after the Dutch region Zeeland located in the West of the Netherlands due to connections between the town and the region. The city's official language is Dutch however English is also commonly used due to it being the main language of Grytviken.
Early History
Founding of Nieuw Zeeland
Nieuw Zeeland was created around the 8th of June 2023 by the current mayor Count F1rret. F1rret joined the server around the 5th of June 2023, originally living in the castle of Grytviken, South Georgia. Before the landing of Nieuw Zeeland, the territory was pre-planned by Porbei, the King of Grytviken. The island was named after the region of Zeeland in the Kingdom of the Netherlands due to MilanB09, who helped in the founding of the island, originating from Middelburg, Zeeland. Before the adventure to the island, Grytviken gifted F1rret a full set of diamond armour and tools for the civilisation to be started as part of a planned agreement for the eventual annexation of Nieuw Zeeland by the Grytvikans.
F1rret set sail for Nieuw Zeeland later that day, officially establishing the town around the 8th of June and beginning the creation of the island's fortifications, however, no buildings were created until the 21 of June. North of Nieuw Zeeland, City 18, run by Polish adventurer and also an ex-Grytviken resident Dzik32, was created with the assistance of Porbei who donated a stack of gold to help with its creation.
After setting up the town and claiming all the regions chunks, F1rret moved back into Grytviken for the following weeks, focusing on his political career and creating the Zuidelijke Sandwicheilanden Vertegenwoordigers Partij (South Sandwich Representatives Party/SSRP) a Nieuw Zeeland based party created along with fellow resident Howduhbee. The party was focused on representing the South Sandwich party in the South Georgian court and making sure that the locals of the South Sandwich Islands were heard. However, the party was so successful that it was elected into parliament, gaining two seats with F1rret running in the Prime minister race in South Georgia and set to become the first prime minister from the South Sandwich Islands. He lost to the new parliament which was run by RockingDudeCool's party: the SGRP (South Georgia Reform Party), a right-wing authoritarian party from South Georgia that was strictly against the South Sandwich Dutch population.
The party cracked down heavily on the Dutch-speaking population. A bill was passed in parliament that attempted to ban the Dutch language however it only banned Dutch from being an official language in future after left-wing politician Starman8742 softened the bill stating that it was too harsh. However, the SGRP was not finished with Nieuw Zeeland, attempting to remove the Dutch culture from existing as a recognised culture in South Georgia, which would have made them exempt from the Bill for the rights of minorities in South Georgia, essentially removing their rights as a culture.
