It seems like yesterday, when a group of about 60 people or so opened up their self-governed, democratic community in the old mainland snow sim of Anzere. Three years later, in spite of constant predictions to the contrary, Neufreistadt (Confederation of the Democratic Simulators) and their sister group on the mainland, Port Neualtenburg (Funadama), are still alive and kicking, viciously fighting their political struggles on the Representative Assembly and on their public forums.
But this weekend is time for the political parties bury their axes for a bit, dress up in their Dirndls and Lederhosen, and come out to the streets and dance to silly Schlager music at this year’s Oktoberfest, which is being commemorated simultaneously by both communities.
