History
Founding
Democratisch Nederland was originally founded in the Netherlands on Day 1,092 of the New World. The following citizens were involved in the party's original founding:
Most of the founders came from the Libertarian Social Democrats, whereas Dennis Baks was a former member of Iron & Wine. The party ceased to exist after a succesful PTO in December 2010, followed shortly after by the conquest of the Netherlands by Poland.
Re-establishment
Because of various successful PTO's carried out by a Croatian feminist group, all Dutch parties united in the Verenigd Nederland political party in December 2011. This one party system eventually came to an end due to disagreements over the April 2011 Presidential elections. Verenigd Nederland was subsequently sold by public auction. On April 8, 2011, it was bought by a group of former DemNL members and rechristened as Democratisch Nederland. The following citizens were involved in the party's refounding:
Influence
Since its re-establishment, Democratisch Nederland has become a force to be reckoned with in the Dutch political landscape. It has been the largest party in the country for a long time, being the second largest behind The Dutch Progressives for a few months in the beginning of 2012.
Between December 2010 and January 2013 (former) party members AndreasIsaksson, Daniel Parker, ArtemIvanov, ElGorro, Joep O, Mattio and Kimberly McCullouch have been elected as President of the Netherlands on a Democratisch Nederland ticket.

Logo
Throughout its history, Democratisch Nederland has used several logos, all but one of which were designed by Viglius.
Contact
Within Democratisch Nederland, members use several methods to stay in touch with one another. Chief among these are the DemNL forum and the chat on IRC.
Manifesto
The manifesto of Democratisch Nederland was laid down in the party program for the April 2011 Congress elections.
Democratisch Nederland is a party with an open mind on all fronts. Nothing is taboo, everything can be discussed in an open and respectful manner. Nevertheless, DemNL has some core values, which have their effect on its positions. Freedom, transparency and responsibility are considered of paramount importance. We also stand for the right to self-fulfillment, and we will safeguard the options for this and expand them where possible. The state serves the citizen, not vice versa.
As the name Democratic Netherlands suggests, democracy is an important achievement for us. Every vote counts, and it makes no difference if it is from a youngling or a veteran. Anyone can contribute. Our party attaches more importance to ideas than to individuals or personalities. It will be determined in the political arena which ideas work best for our society.
Democratic Netherlands is not confined to a political movement nor is the party bound by unassailable dogmas. We think of ourselves as pragmatic, and we will renounce names which imply something else, no matter whether they are tacitly assumed or loudly voiced.
Party Program
The Party Program written for the elections of the 46th Congress of the Netherlands.
General
Democratisch Nederland wants to be a party for all citizens in eNetherlands. Our focus is in freedom, transparency, responsibility and respect. Democratisch Nederland thinks it's important to work together, with members with different expirience levels. We can all learn from eachother. Every opinion will be heard. Democratisch Nederland will fight for a strong economy and stable policy, to ensure the citizens of eNetherlands to live and work optimally.
Netherlands Complete Again?
As everyone can see, we have our rightful regions back! But for how long? It's only a matter of time, until Poland will attack us to occupy our country again. With luck, we get the two regions back. Both Foreign Affairs (in diplomacy) as Defense should focus on to hold a better position after the battles than before.
Home Affairs
Democratisch Nederland wants to invest more in the work of Home Affairs. Focus needs to be on training and guiding young citiziens. Home Affairs is allready working multiple terms on tutorials. More manpower needs to be found, to finish the tutorials and release them to our citizens. Democratisch Nederland wants the government to have active contact with our young citizens (level 20), to help them grow up in our country. The coaching team works on request now. They should be more proactive. This team should have some budget, to send out small portions of supplies to young citizens, to help them with their work. Focus should be on making their own business and self provisioning. Democratisch Nederland wants to release articles, on regular base, to inform the citizens of eNetherlands of the work the government has done.
Foreign Affairs
We need to invest in our relations with our allies nearby. With focus on Germany, France and USA. Focus on Foreign Affairs should be on strengthen our position in Western Europe and to hold our current regions. We should use diplomacy actively to reach this goal.
Defense
General goal needs to be, to free our lands, currently in control of Poland. As noted in the Foreign Affairs section, we need to invest in our relations with our allies nearby. We need to help Germany and France to get their lands back. This next to the current policy to have MPP with two bigger countries. Democratisch Nederland thinks that USA should be one of these countries. We need to invest in our Military Units, to get more soldiers. We need to develop a rewardsystem for this. Besides handing out more supplies, soldiers should earn extras when they do good work for our country. Democratisch Nederland wants a system, where the soldier gets more supplies weekly. How much depends how much the soldier has fought for his direct orders. The soldier gets a normal amount of supplies, when he has fought 5 times the week for his direct orders. He gets extra supplies when he has fought more than 10 times the week. The soldier has to prove it, to one of his superiors.
Finance
Democratisch Nederland is proponent of the current financial policy, but wants to see the government investigate their budget as a lot of income is not used at the moment. Democratisch Nederland want to invest NLG over 2 months in army companies to make the army more powerfull and more selfsufficient.
