Edwardcul1en: Willow is a town again!

{{As of|August 2026}}
{{Infobox town|name=Willow|class=Town|coord_map=reveille|coord_x=1300|coord_y=76|coord_z=2038|population=|population_date=April 2026|population_change=increase|head=Willow Commission|established=December 2020}}
'''Willow''', named after the tree of the same name, is a farming town in the [[Redmont|Commonwealth of Redmont]].

Located north of Reveille at 1307 71 2039, Willow has become the number-one place for citizens to farm. It was was founded as a town similar to [[Oakridge]] or [[Aventura]] on 21th of December 2020 by [[Vanquish69]] (then Vanquish_ap). It was dissolved around August 2024 and restored to town status in August 2026.

The town follows a rustic, forest theme, containing mainly medieval-esque builds. Willow builds mainly consist of dark oak and terracotta as well as many spruce and birch trees around the town.

Interestingly, Willow was originally going to be named Moondrop Valley. However, the farming town’s name was changed quickly after for unknown reasons. Willow contains roughly 70 farming plots for citizens to rent in order to cultivate animals or crops. Around 95% of all plots are rented on any given day.

=== Population ===
Willow has a population of roughly 65 people (spawning residents). Additionally, seven residential plots have been purchased or rented within Willow (on average).

== History ==

=== Early Willow ===
Founded in December 2020, Willow is an integrated part of Redmont. Vanquish69 became the first [[List of mayors of Willow|mayor of Willow]] and appointed _37__ as her deputy mayor. _37__ quit his position shortly after, and Westray became Willow's deputy mayor. Vanquish69 resigned from her position as mayor in late June 2021. Westray took the position of mayor and named Tekkovvs as his deputy mayor. Under Westray’s control, Willow had dramatic reforms to its overall structure which included the rewriting of the town’s constitution.

=== Transition to Reveille ===
Due to the controversy that was the Reveille transition, Westray, a prominent and popular player, left. Westray was Willow’s longest serving mayor. After Westray left, Mayor Twixted took over for approximately one month. However, not much progress was made in transferring Willow from the Hamilton map to the new map.

Willow was marked as a "former town" in the August 2024 [[State of the Commonwealth]] report published by the [[Department of State]].<ref>{{Cite forum|url=https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/sotc-report-august-2024.23261/|title=SOTC Report - AUGUST 2024|id=23261|author=[[Department of State|Dept. State]]|date=17 September 2024|access-date=22 August 2026}}</ref>

=== Restoration ===
The town was restored after the passing of the Willow Township Act, which amended the [[Constitution]]. The bill was approved by a referendum held on 13 August 2026,<ref>{{Cite Discord|url=https://discord.com/channels/673612908868927498/686158870435201035/1537547311184351334|messager=[[Vennefly]]|channel=government-announcements|server=DemocracyCraft|date=13 August 2026}}</ref> with 55 votes for and 10 votes against.<ref>{{Cite forum|url=https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/willow-township-act.42606/#post-167166|title=Willow Township Act|id=42606|author=[[Department of State|Dept.

== Geography ==

=== Landforms ===
Willow is full of spruce, birch, cherry blossom, and willow trees. The surrounding area is heavily forested and mountainous.

=== Water Systems ===
Willow contains hardly any water, with its land to water ratio being 95% land. Even though Willow is located next to a beach area, it is not part of the town’s land. Additionally, there are many small puddles and streams located in and around Willow, adding to its nature theme.

=== Biomes and Resources ===
Willow, despite being on land, is largely in a warm ocean biome. This gives Willow its iconic deep green grass. Other, smaller parts of Willow are composed of the plains biome which cultivates the same vegetation. Willow has an abundance of natural resources that include, but are not limited to birch, spruce, and cherry blossom (dark oak) trees as well as farming resources like wheat that plays a vital part in Willow’s economy.

== Economy ==
Willow’s economy mainly focuses around farming. As of current, Willow features 70 farming plots (f plots) that citizens of Redmont are able to rent. These are large plots which allow players to farm to their heart’s content. Willow provides Redmont with many farming related goods, including (but not limited to) wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beets.

=== Culture ===
There are many prominent spots the eager tourist might waned to take a look at, one being the horse statue in the heart of Willow. The statue was made of stone bricks, cobble, and smooth stone. It featured a man riding a horse, holding Willow’s sunset flag. Another key spot one might want to visit is the Willow clock tower. The Willow clock tower is a large clock made of spruce, basalt, and various stones. From the top of the clock tower, you can oversee much of Willow. Willow's town hall, called the Vanquish Hall after Willow's original founder, takes up the north-west quadrant of Willow's spawn circle.

== Government ==
Willow’s government was separated into two branches: The executive and the legislative. Willow’s executive branch contained the mayor and deputy mayor. The legislative branch contains Willow’s town council, which, as seen in Willow’s [https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/about-willow.3176/ about me page/constitution], contained five advisors which serve four month terms. If any changes were to be made to Willow’s constitution, it would require a unanimous vote by all five advisors. On August the 5th 2024 Willow was made into a district dissolving the town's government and giving the DCT direct control over the towns plot regulations and DOI were put in charge of overseeing farming practices in the town. The town was re-established in August 2026.

== Transportation ==
Willow currently does not have any public transportation. While you can access Willow through the airport menu, it will simply put you in the town square instead of in an airport like the other three towns.

Regions

2026-08-10T20:34:47Z

Edwardcul1en: Remove reference to AreaShop in favor of realty

DemocracyCraft utilizes the Realty plugin for region management.
== Wild regions ==

Players can build freely in the wilderness, but some may desire protection for their bases. To claim a wild region follow the instructions contained within [[Wilderness Claiming]].

The Redmont Government does not have jurisdiction over international wilderness lands, however, is afforded a caveat to manage the eviction of wilderness claims on behalf of the international community. The specifics of eviction requirements is a policy matter managed by the Government.

Maximum Claim: 4096 blocks

Maximum Amount of Claims: 1

Cost per Block: $20

Sale to Another Player: Not allowed

Minimum Distance from Another Region: 25 blocks, unless agreed by both parties at time of claim.

== Urban regions ==

There are three main types of plots within Redmont:
# '''Commercial''' – Identified by the c- or cbd- tags. Only commercial buildings like stores and apartments are allowed on these plots.
# '''Residential''' – Marked with the r- tag. Only houses with up to three visible floors can be built on residential plots. No sub-regions.
# '''Skyscraper''' – Denoted by the s- tag. Skyscraper plots can only have skyscrapers and are not meant for industrial or residential use.
# '''Industrial''' – Marked with the i- tag. You can build factories, warehouses and underground farms on the industrial plots.

To find available plots in the city, look for reselling properties with the corresponding tags (e.g., c-000). Use <code>/as info reselling</code> to locate resold plots and use <code>/gps start [plot]</code> to get to that location.
== Rental regions ==

There are five main types of rental regions on the server:
# '''Farm regions''' – Located in the farming district of [[Willow]], these special farm regions can be rented by players (up to two per person). Denoted by the f- tag, they can be rented from the Willow Train Station.
# '''Apartment''' '''renting''' – Some commercial buildings offer rentable apartments with prices based on the number of days. These real-life durations provide an affordable option for new players seeking a city residence.
# '''Shop/Market stalls''' – Rentable stores are available in some regions, such as Vestire Mall, allowing players to sell items without purchasing an entire plot.
# '''Shulker regions''' – Certain city and town locations have free or low-cost shulker regions with rental durations of 1-10 minutes. Intended for temporary use, such as accessing a shulker box or ender chest.
# '''Black Market regions''' – In certain places where the law isn't able to lay its hand, there are markets with rental regions for the trade of otherwise illegal to sell/buy items. More info in [[Crime]].

You may also encounter other, less popular rental regions. To check information about a rental region, use <code>/rl info</code>.
== Property regulations ==

Upon purchasing or renting a property, you must adhere to specific regulations and laws. For owned plots, the Department of Construction and Transport (DCT) may issue eviction reports for building violations. Meanwhile, landlords may evict tenants who breach their rental agreements.

For further details, consult the [https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/property-standards-act.13387/ Property Standards] and the [https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/evictions-policy.26813/ Eviction Policy].



== Commands ==
Run <code>/rl help</code> in-game for realty commands!

The '''Department of Construction and Transport''' ('''DCT''') is an [[department|executive department]] responsible for enforcing building regulations and developing [[Redmont]]'s infrastructure. The department is currently headed by Secretary [[winterwolf]].

== Duties and responsibilities ==
The Executive Standards Act defines the DCT's primary responsibilities to be:

* Creation of Government infrastructure
* Maintenance of building regulation compliance.
* Management of Public Transport networks.

In addition, the DCT is responsible for handling pastes, presidential libraries<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/presidential-library-act.10160 Presidential Library Act]</ref>, enclaves<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/enclave-establishment-act.15439/ Enclave Establishment Act]</ref> and ''the hole''<ref>[https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/bill-that-restored-everyone%E2%80%99s-faith-in-redmont%E2%80%99s-power-act.29202 Bill that restored everyone’s faith in Redmont’s Power Act]</ref>.

== Structure ==
The DCT is divided into two divisions: '''Inspection''' and '''Construction'''.
[[File:Dct plot-pool-diagram.png|thumb|How the DCT manages the plot pool]]
The '''Inspection side''' enforces building regulations by identifying violations in accordance with the [https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/evictions-policy.26813/ Evictions Policy], filing reports, carrying out evictions if necessary and returning non-compliant plots to active use through auctions.

The '''Construction side''' is responsible for initiating public construction projects, modifying the transport network, and fulfilling pastes. Certain projects may result in the creation or removal of plots, thereby affecting the plot pool.

Each division has three roles with increasing responsibilities and permissions, as well as its own Deputy Secretary.
