The Google+ Cooperation Agreement

On October 11, 2017 Mapperverse, the largest community of mappers on google+ wanted to centralize google+ and stop all the drama conflicts between communities, so the created The Google+ Cooperation Agreement(Abbreviated as GCA) it functions like a UN for mapping communities. A google+ group was made for the community but its private and is very secretive. The google+ group has 2 embassy's from each community.

Mechanics
GCA is like the UN as it works to stop drama between mappers and communities and also NATO as any member that gets into drama is defended by them. The "Alliance" has 6 communities part of it and 2,200 members from all the communities combined. Mapperverse is the leader because the are the founder. Mapperverse has the most say in what the GCA decides to do. The GCA has so far been successful in its goals of stopping drama and providing centralization to google+ communities

Prior to Creation
Mappervese became the largest community after the collapse of The Mapping Community on October 14, 2017. The succsosser of The Mapping Community, The Mappers Union needed to make the transition more stable to they made a "pact" with Mapperverse to work together to stop drama and conflicts on google+ and keep the collapse of The Mapping Community stable and not let it escalate into drama. #standtogether was started as a symbol of the communities working together.

Creation
Other google+ communities became included in the pact, but the rules were unclear as a result on November 11, 2017 Platine and Cheezewafflz Mapping wrote up a treaty that marked the official start of the "Alliance".

Mappers Marine Corps
The first challenge the GCA faced was how to deal with the Mapper Marine Corps(MMC). MMC was a google+ community known for being aggressive and getting into drama. MMC had went after a community called The Bat Mapping Community(BMC). BMC and MMC got into drama of and on between August- November 2017. GCA responded by banning all mappers that were part of the drama from the communities in GCA. MMC and BMC then decided the drama was foolish and MMC replaced by a new community under the control of Mapperverse.
