Join the citizens and friends of CDS as we meet in Alpine Meadows to show pride in our CDS flag and stand united in democracy as one Micronation. Build a float, ride your horse or motorcycle â pull out that tank or that ridiculous car or contraption someone gave you that maybe you just aren't sure what it is. You can walk if you want to. The CDS Flag will lead us from Alpine Meadow over Colonia Nova, into and across Locus Amoenus, across the LA bridge and onto the beach where we will enjoy some beer, hamburgers and hot-dogs as friends and neighbors. What a great way to kick off our 10th birthday celebrations here in Second Life! Then, it's onto the docks in Colonia Nova to see our old CDS friend JC Farstrider, Jazz Saxophonist, playing live. Come join the party! Please look for the teleporter to take you to the starting point of the parade.

About CDS: With approximately 80 current citizens, the Confederation of Democratic Simulators is the oldest democracy in Second Life. Originally founded in 2004 as the City of Neualtenburg in the Anzere region as part of a contest by Linden Labs to preserve the snow sims, the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS) is now a five-region community operated by the citizens in a democratic manner including elections twice a year. Plans are currently underway to add a sixth region. Each region is designed to reflect a specific theme: Bavarian, Roman, Alpine and Tuscan. Resident master builders have created amazing builds in each of the regions including the Schloss within a walled city, the Kirche, the Monastery, the Praetorium and a Tuscan fishing village. All of the regions are connected by a planned infrastructure and offer a place to walk, bicycle or horseback ride. We even have a Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA)!
