Neualtenburg changes name to Neufreistadt

We can now formally announce that Neualtenburg has changed its name to Neufreistadt.

After careful deliberation of the alternatives presented, the Representative Assembly, in a closed meeting (because of potential "domain name squatting" issues), decided to rename our current private island to "Neufreistadt", a name that embodies our spirit as we go forward in time with our New Free City.

At the same time, the over-arching name that will represent the government of all sims under the same structure will be  "Confederation of Democratic Simulators" (or CDS for short). We are starting the planning of the second sim under the CDS very soon (Colonia Nova — with a Roman Empire setting) as  Neufreistadt has only a few available plots. CDS will be the name of the overall government; Neufreistadt and Colonia Nova the administrative regions (sims) where citizens will have their plots.

It's time for all of us move ahead, learn from our past, but embrace our bright future. The name change should reflect this change and be a turning point towards something better. In some societies, when teenagers enter maturity, they get a new name to reflect this change. This is also a time of our own maturity in self-governance.
