The Federal Theory

Description
It is a prediction made by 99batran, if the Mapper community will possibly be in the future if they keep up it's centralization.

Remember it is also a Theory

Work in Progress.

Development and Politics
Around 2016, Colonization will become popular in Mapperdonia. It also promotes growth within the community as Mappers spread out onto other websites and creating their own. The Community, if keeping up it's centralization integrity, will develop federalism. The state (or a "Core" Website) will become governed by those who inhabit the website. However the inhabitants of the website can not vote for their leader, but the leader will be voted by the Central Government (the Wiki), to select Experienced and Loyal users. This may seem less representative but it is actually reasonable (See the "Great Trio Alt War" below). Websites (or Colonies) can apply to become a State once they reach the current "State Population Mark". If 1000 mappers in the community, the requirement to become a state is 100-150 registered Mappers inhabiting the State as their "Home Website". If 5000 Mappers, then it will need 250 Mappers to become recognized as a state.

It is estimated that Mapperdonia will have a possible 20-60 States by 2025

Social Life within Mapperdonia
Mapperdonian life would likely be formed into people just interacting between their social group of friends

This will be Called Gangs/Packs/Cliques; officially started to develop around 2017-2021, they are technically a replacement for factions, however they aren't generally allied with each other, think of it as a social group. Future mappers would develop and stay within their own social groups. Like in a school, Jocks, nerds, bronies, etc. Stays within their own social cliques/group of friends. Gangs are usually a group of mappers friends who hang out with each other in a particular website or two. Packs wander about through Websites. Cliques are just a social group. An example of a Pack is OzichsMaps and his group of other 5 friends travel around other websites, while occasionally passing by other communities within Fate (story).

Gaps between New Mappers and Older Mappers will become so great. The reason behind this is that Older Mappers would develop higher quality mapping vids, that those who want to become Mappers would be discouraged and prefers to watch Older Mappers rather than become them. This could become a growth problem within Mapperdonia. It will be slightly accommodated by expanion onto other websites, the "era of expansion" will be justified through "Cognition".

Mapperdonia is possible to develop government jobs or ranks from most to least Powerful: Governer of Mapperdonia or The Leader (National Leader and representative of Mapperdonia), Wiki Administrators (National Admins), Wiki Moderators (National Military Sector Governers), National Military (Military from the Wiki and be used to enforce and keep states in check), Governers (Local Owner), Local Military (each State would have 10-50 Soldiers depending on their size), Spies (The Trusted and Loyal Members), and Populace (inhabitants of each website and represents the population of Mapperdonia).

There is a possible Mapperdonian Educational System, where the government would try to teach new mappers Social Studies and would develop a good reputation between world schools and possibly governments for inspiring future world leaders. But mainly it's for history and Politics of Mapperdonia. Propaganda is possible but avoided as much as possible. Only time Propaganda is bestowed to prevent any internal conflict between gangs and nationalities or religion.

Governers would control local affairs and they will be represented in the Central Government. Like the Senate.

More social life "see Warfare"

Warfare
Warfare in the future would most likely between Nationalities or Religion between Mappers. the Government could declare that all Mappers are Mapperdonia, and nothing else. But Mappers would still be loyal to their real-life Government. Gang/Pack/Clique violence would also become somewhat uncommon but not a sueprising sight to see. But most Gang/Pack/Cliques would be neutral, but there could be rivalries. Which would develop into local sports teams, it can be a common pass time to compete with each other on games.

The reason that there are wars that the community is not centralized enough.

Mapperdonia would develop the common weapon called, "Server-Flooding". Meaning that users would crash the website through overloading the network. It is used to keep rogue states in check and to fight external wars. (Do this and you will be banned)

Great Trio Alt War
A possible war where Trio and his allies would master the alt, about 2019. And would try to gain the trust of Governers, and so they would give their power to Trio's Alts. Making Trio slowly control Mapperdonia, he would gain supporters through propaganda, saying that it's natural for the Community to be decentralized and the government is a tyrannical state. However by his 4th Website, a Mapper would notice and consult the government. The Government would declare war and would develop the birth of the weapon of "Server-Flooding". Trio and his supporters would eventually surrender, the websites would be given to the Leader of Mapperdonia and be organized by 2020-2021 and given to one or more experienced, loyal and trusted person ( or people).

East and West War (or The Grand War)
A possible war in the future, possibly 2023, where China/Russia threatens NATO with nuclear weapons. Mappers would then debate about this and would become heavily divided. With up to 75% of the Community fighting. Pro-Eastern Governers would fight Pro-Western Governers, so will Pro-East Mappers and Pro-West Mappers. The Neutral Governers would eventually help end the war through convincing other Governers to stop the war. But the community would possibly be devastated, and would probably take months to fully recover.

Predictions Proven Right

 * Around 2016 mappers did start to explore other platforms besides wikia.
 * Mappers did create groups or cliques, which took the form of google+ "communities", such parrallels between communities were repeatedly compared of being replacement of factions.
 * Education systems were invented. Cheezewafflz Mapping, Sapphire mapping, and BlueCon set up an education system for mappers on google+. A mapper called Imperials also set up a education system on his google+ community. Atlas made a community for educating mappers as well but he deleted the community after quieting.
 * Server Flooding. This was never fully used instead communities would just simply hack communities such as The Mappers Marine Corps or The Bat Mapping Community.
 * Community in general were democratic at some point but many became less democratic overtime with many google+ communities being strict and having civil wars over the rights of there members.
 * A quality gap between more older or popular mappers and lesser mappers were surely noticeable. The reason that this is so is due to the fact that newer mappers were never helped to improve or taught how to do things, while most older mappers were at some point and succeeded. Nevertheless, this caused a perception that newer mappers are "worse".

Predictions Proven Wrong

 * The community did not become more centralized.
 * Communities did not make colonies, with exceptions of splinter groups associated with the larger community
