NDC, GODR
NDC, also known as "New Dane City", is currently the capital city, largest city, and only city of the Grand Order of DR as of this article. The city was established on March 17, 2019, the same day as the Grand Order of DR, and has been host to almost all major events in the nation, and was founded by SOL Dane Bozzoli himself. NDC is home to six out of the seven citizens of the GODR, including SOL Dane Bozzoli, who have all lived on the site long before the official establishment of the city and it's host nation. The city of NDC is located in the Northern most area of the GODR, taking up roughly half of the GODR's one acre land claim.
