"De Kaap" (Cape) | Dragon's Fire

 * Leadership Structure: The organisation has been crumbling following the death of Lars Hatgers, the third Grand Dragon. He is succeeded by a senior chief who has better plans than to keep the organisation alive. Dragon's Fire in its current form is barely what it is, with its dissolution becoming more likely every day. (Stage 1 of 3 dissolution is commenced.)
 * Grand Dragon:
 * Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480 - d. 1549, office 1502 - 1542)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502 - d. 1570, office 1542 - 1559)
 * Lars Hatgers (b. 1515 - d. 1577, office 1558 - 1577)
 * David Hospes (b. 1540, office since 1577)
 * Senior Chiefs: Five figures
 * Government: A provisional government was established in place upon the settlement of Kaapstad as a provisional outpost and settlement initially. Leadership of the Dragon's Fire remains dominant and ever since the death of Hatgers as the third Grand Dragon in its organisation's history, it is shifting away from being led by an organisation to simply becoming a hybrid republic and colonial government (despite being unassociated with the Netherlands de facto and de jure). The Governor position is created by the new Grand Dragon, David Hospes on 1579, electing himself as the first Governor of Kaap.
 * Government Type: Provisional council
 * Governor: David Hospes (b. 1540s, office since 1579)
 * Membership: 200 members are 'full' members of this organisation, while 60 of them are former members of this organisation. This does not include the 210 who are brought along or have been born into the settlement and camps in Kaap, including many children and wives of members who are willing to depart from the Netherlands to a new place. Combined brings the current 'population' of De Kaap (Cape) as 510, though the population would struggle to survive the new climate. Also including from the privatisation compromise are those ships (they may be scrapped; but discussions around trade with other ports are considered as late as the late 1570s):
 * 4 transport ships
 * 1 caravel
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Operations: N/A
 * Events:
 * Survival of the Fittest (II): Just ten years have passed and the settlers have become used to the new environment after dropping in their population. With smaller outer settlements from the main settlement/outpost of what would be Kaapstad today established with a purpose of farming and to source water from streams and rivers in a desert environment, the population stabilised by the mid-1580s. However, it would take a while for a whole generation to grow up in a new environment. Few settlers have also encountered indigenous people while gathering water, the Khoisan peoples (that is intentional, as there are more ethnic groups to this) recently, however. Things aren't looking as good for the settlers of Kaap... It might lead to the end of this ambitious project as set decades ago by the early leaders of Dragon's Fire.
 * Fall of Dragon's Fire (I): While the ambitious plot and project by Dragon's Fire is accomplished through wacky, yet almost achievable aims, Dragon's Fire would begin its first stage of decommission with the formation of the proper government of Kaap. Members are now leaving the organisation for the first time, with meetings around the organisation's issues becoming less relevant each passing year. It is estimated that by the end of the century, Dragon's Fire would be dismantled entirely.
 * Outside Affairs: Trade is still a hugely debated topic. While there are few ships that have passed the Cape of Good Hope by sight, none have taken interest in trading with Kaap, rather using it as a pinpoint. Sending their own ships to other ports is still not closed yet, with decommissioning ever more likely as a generation is growing up to a self-sufficient, isolated life than interacting with the world.
