About CDS:

With approximately 80 current citizens, the Confederation of Democratic Simulators is the oldest democracy in Second Life. Originally founded in 2004 as the City of Neualtenburg in the Anzere region as part of a contest by Linden Labs to preserve the snow sims, the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (C.D.S.)is now a five-region community operated by the citizens. Plans are currently underway to add a sixth region. Each region is designed to reflect a specific theme: Bavarian, Roman, Alpine and Tuscan. Resident master builders have created amazing builds in each of the regions including the Schloss within a walled city, the Kirche, the Monastery, the Praetorium and a Tuscan fishing village. All of the regions are connected by a planned infrastructure and offer a place to walk, bicycle or horseback ride. We even have a Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA)!

Our officials are elected every 6 months and include:

    The Chancellor - Executive Branch
    The Representative Assembly (5 seats) - Law making and long-term planning

The Scientific Council makes up the Philosophical Branch and is currently comprised of six non-elected and non-term seats, The function of the SC is to interpret and enforce the CDS Constitution as well as resolving citizen disputes and moderating the forums.
