#'''Professions''' - these jobs build on trade jobs by having more advanced or special perks.
#* This could be specialised crafting recipes or plugin features.
#'''Government''' - you cannot get a government job immediately, but after around 24 hours of in-game playtime a lot of players apply for these jobs on [//democracycraft.net our forums.]

=== Chat ===
== Communication ==
Our server is unique, as there are three chat channels you use to talk to other players. Please <b>read this carefully</b> as you will need to use these channels quite often!


* '''Global (<code>/g</code>)''' - this is the default channel for everyone. You only need to run the alias command when you aren't in the channel. This channel allows <b>everyone</b> to read your messages.
DemocracyCraft uses several chat channels:
* '''Local (<code>/l</code>)''' - this is a channel with a 50 block radius. Only people within 50 blocks can read your messages (hear you!). Please use this when you are: talking to players right in front of you, seeking treatment from a Doctor, or in an event.
* '''Murmur (<code>/murmur</code>) -''' This channel has a 5 block radius, for more secretive chats in-game!
* '''Private Messages (<code>/msg <username></code>)''' - this allows you to have a one on one conversation with anyone. Replace <code><username></code> with whomever you want to talk to!


{| class="wikitable"
! Command !! Purpose
|-
| <code>/g</code> || Global chat

=== Health ===


DemocracyCraft features a custom health system.


On this server, we have a custom health plugin which enables players to experience sickness and injuries. You will most likely experience broken legs and flesh wounds, both will give you slowness and/or random damage. Monitor your health status at any time by entering {{code|/health symptoms}} in-game!
Players may experience:


If you fall ill, head to the Hospital and click the computer head to request a [[doctor]]. You can get to the hospital by dying (not recommended!) or by entering {{code|/gps start hospital}} in-game.
* Injuries
* Illnesses
* Broken bones
* Medical conditions


Some sicknesses can only be cured by taking pharmaceutical medicines! You can learn more about these dieases at the hospital or on the [[pharmacist]] page!
Check your status with:


<code>/health symptoms</code>


Hospitals and doctors can treat illnesses, while some conditions require medication.

== Government and Politics ==


=== Government ===
DemocracyCraft has a player-run government consisting of three branches:
Our government consists of three branches: legislative, executive, and [[Judiciary|judicial]].


The legislative branch, or [[Congress]], is split into two parts: the [[House of Representatives]] (HoR) and the [[Senate]]. Representatives in the HoR are responsible for creating and voting on legislation, while Senators review and vote on proposed bills from the HoR.
* Legislative — Congress
* Executive — President, Vice President, and Cabinet
* Judicial — Courts and judges


The executive branch comprises the [[president]], [[vice president]], and the [[Cabinet]]. The [[president]] and [[vice president]] are elected <b>democratically by the players</b> every four months, leading the government as a whole! This is the same electoral system we use to elect our legislative branch. The Cabinet consists of advisors who oversee various government departments.
Players can participate by:


The [[Judiciary|judicial branch]] runs the court system. Citizens have the right to bring legal disputes against each other, with judges presiding over cases and determining appropriate punishments based on {{DCForums|Link=/threads/constitution.6/#post-6|Forums=our constitution}}.
* Voting in elections
* Running for office
* Joining departments
* Creating political parties


Apart from judges and Cabinet members, who require presidential nomination and [[Senate]] approval, anyone can run for a government position. To participate in an election, simply join the race in our {{DCForums|Link=/forums/elections-referendums.27|Forums=Election and Referendums forum}}
See [[Government]] for more information.

We have a mixture of creative, survival, wilderness, and urban worlds! Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from each:
DemocracyCraft contains several worlds with different rules.


=== Wilderness ===
=== Wilderness ===


* Keep inventory: on
The Wilderness allows exploration, gathering, and building.
* Plot claiming: allowed
* PVP: allowed
* Laws: some apply (see the [https://www.democracycraft.net/threads/wilderness-laws-clarification-3-0-act.20744/ Wilderness Laws Clarification 3.0 Act])
* Resets: never


The [[Wild|Wilderness]] is a naturally generated world where players can explore, gather resources, build bases, and engage in various unregulated activities. In this world, you are free to roam and create, but keep in mind that some laws still apply.
* Keep inventory: Enabled
* Claims: Allowed
* PvP: Enabled
* Laws: Some apply


Use the command <code>/airport</code>, then right-click on one of the nearby computer monitors to open a menu, where you can select your wilderness destination.
Use:


{{Note

<br>There are limited laws in the wild, protect your belongings by creating a claim for $10/block and by /locking your containers. See https://wiki.democracycraft.net/Wilderness_Claiming

== Property and Businesses ==


The Everwild, End, and Nether are treacherous and lawless realms, with no governing laws to guide your actions. These dangerous worlds are perfect for players looking for high-risk adventures, where survival is up to your skill and luck.
Players can rent and own property throughout the server.


To reach the Everwild, use <code>/airport</code> and interact with a computer monitor to get your ticket. The End and Nether can be accessed through the Wilderness or Everwild worlds.
Search available properties:


{{Note|text=<b>Protect your items!</b>
<code>/rl search</code>

=== Property, plots, and apartments ===
Manage your properties:


Players have the opportunity to rent and own various properties both in the city and the wilderness. These plots are technically referred to as "regions". If you own a plot in the city, you are able to build anything on it as long as it meets {{DCForums|Link=/threads/evictions-policy.26813/|Forums=government regulations}}. Most new players don't start off with plots, you will usually need to save up a lot of money first.
<code>/rl me</code>


[[file:reveille_city.png|thumb|600px]]
View property information:


To see plots for sale, run the commands <code>/as info forsale</code> and <code>/as info reselling</code>. On the Discord, eviction auctions are hosted periodically, and many plots go for sale there as well.
<code>/rl info</code>


For new players, we recommend that you check out the [https://www.democracycraft.net/forums/apartment-registry.2154/ apartment registry]! An up to date registry full of affordable apartments. You can right click signs that say "[For Rent]" to rent your first apartment!
New players are encouraged to rent an apartment before purchasing land.
