Introduction
What this theory about? Well, it is about possible consequences of full decentralization of the Mapping Community.

I will not make such predictions because I do not know what might happen and it is just a theory.

About the decentralization
Actually, Mapping is very decentralized but still not enough for that theory.

There are only a few big groups where the most mappers are part of them. By full decentralization I mean, that there is a lot of small groups (Mapping Communes). They communicate with each other - they are able to be at war or create alliances, etc..

Actually, since the TFOE Wikia is not big, it can be counted as Mapping Commune. BUT! There is no authoritarian government in these communes, so TFOE Wikia is not Mapping Commune.

How can the decentralization be reached?
I think that it is a natural process. When the community becomes bigger and the mappers try to create their own communities (Mapping Communes), they become bigger and bigger and it is becoming harder to control.

Just look at Google+ community. It has over 1000 users and at least 1/5 of them are active. It is hard to control such big community with centralized government. The people might create smaller communities and with the less centralized government to avoid civil wars or something like that and make the whole community less dependent on the central government. This is what I call "The Decentralization in the Mapping Community"

What might happen?
Well, it is a hard question, but still can be answered. Here are the main paragraphs:
 * 1) There will be no big communities(or "at least less of them), but more small ones.
 * 2) The gap between different styles might happen. In few years, Mapping with Countryballs, Eradiate style, and others might be very different to each other. Even the Mappers with Countryballs who are in different communes will have lots differences.
 * 3) TFOE Wikia will become less influential, but still gonna be one of the biggest communes for a long time.
 * 4) The Community might grow up like in Moore's law. Maybe the terms like "Mapping", "Mapperdonia" and others will be removed due to the variety of Mappers.
