Political or non-Political Factions

This is the current and ceased factions of the mapping community history.

United Protectors of the Mapping Universe (UPMU)
Is a Peaceful Democratic Political Faction in the wikia formed sometime after the Council was abandoned. It claimed that it was the successor of the Council, except as a representative democracy. As it also had Political Parties in it. Their purpose is to preserve peace through diplomacy and intervene in certain wars relating to the wiki. Every election in the faction is two months.

Golden Mapper Alliance (GMA)
Is a Political defense faction in the wikia formed when Goldenrebel25 and Multi formed an alliance. Golden soon are allied with a few others, including MOAP, 99Batran, Zephyrus and Zukas, and decided to combine them into a group called the GMA. It is one of the rising factions after the UPMU. Their purpose is to preserve peace in the wiki in any way possible, with violence as a last resort.

After the Second Great War in late November 2013, the GMA was made under the Golden Blue Flag, with Multi and Rebel as the leaders.

HDA (Happy Dancing Alliance) (HDA)
Is a Political and Peaceful faction in the wikia formed by HappyDance9 to introduce new suggestions into the mapping community.

'Goddamn Commies' Alliance (GCA)
The first alliance that is made for common ideologies. This Faction had risen their flag after 99batran removed the Communist symbol from the Second Skype Mapping Channel, thinking that the communist symbol would not make a good first impression and non-communist mappers will evade the chat. Also it would start an inevitable conflict if the communists are changing everything to theirs even if opposing ideologists were around.

Refusing to back down, and to annoy the non-communists, the Communists had created their own Faction, self pro-claiming that they want to know each other better. However, this causes destabilization/crisis in the wikia and 99batran declared that members of the GCA will become second class citizens, in fear of communist takeover. After a while, terms were met on both sides after Zukas (a leader) left the wikia when refusing to allow outside contributions/influence to the rules, thinking that it will "restrict" freedom. A almost happy ending (for this crisis) found this alliance when Zukas came back, admitting he can't stay away from the people he grew to like. All hostile actions have been revoked, but the rest of the alliances have expressed some kind of concern for a new alliance to observe.

Note: This Alliance dislikes other types of Communist ideologies (Specifically Maoism) and claims that their ideology is the best.

The Rogue Alliance (TRA)
Is a "rogue" faction that tends to be a third/fourth party in wars. Think of them as mercenaries and could choose the side that they consider the best.

New Mapper Alliance (NMA)
Is a successor that was broke apart from the QMU. It was broke off QMU now called HDA since May 2014, due to the votes are around 13 and the against are 5.

The Commonwealth of Mappers
Is a non-wikia(?) somewhat unknown foreign mapper faction that is outside the wikia. It is rarely encountered and when does, their members hardly will reveal their identity to the group. It is possible that there are other mapper factions beyond the wikia.

The Anti-Arcy Alliance (AAA)
Was/is a coalition against Arcy and the successor of the Anti-Guiyii2 Coalition. The goal was to get Arcy banned in the wiki. Currently they are inactive because Arcy is blocked or it was disbanded according to Zephyrus said to the AAA faction has no sight of Arcy in TFOE Wiki.

Council of Alliances
A proposed faction, by Percy/ΙΧΩΡ Productions, is made to unite the factions in a more powerful union. The 4 Original alliances are the GMA, QMU, UPMU, and the GCA. However, some fear that with opposing ideologies mixed with peace will lead into inevitable conflict. Same thing if they are also divided (or similar to the European Union) and some members also fear merging. But, it seems that the alliances had shown a hesitant optimism for this idea. As long as they obtain full sovereignty, this alliance could work... if they have a common enemy. But lets look to the future.

United Mappers Union (UMU)
Was a political Nationalist faction that attempts to bring the community to an absolute or complete rule under 99batran. The only leader is Arcy, no-one joined it because of Arcy's hostile attempts to others. It is now disbanded because Arcy is now blocked.

Qapeau Mapping Union (QMU)
Was a Political and Peaceful faction in the wikia formed by HappyDance9 to bring the UPMU and GMA closer to each other, and to introduce new ideas to the mapping community. If both the UPMU and GMA are in a wiki war with someone (not just 1 of them, both of them), the QMU will take action to protect both factions from the potential enemy. If both factions are at war, QMU would stay hostile unless 1 of the factions are aggressive to the QMU, then the QMU will join the other team.

Currently, they are just a succession group and also unneccessarily speak a French-English Creole/Pidgin.

The QMU were split into 2 factions. With one supporting Independence (NMA) and the other are loyalists (HDA), with the independence won, the QMU broke apart into two factions.

HDA is de facto the successor to QMU.

The Council
Is the first faction and also an Oligarchy-like Political Faction formed after about 4-5 wiki wars. It was disbanded due to inactivity and another outbreak (wiki war). It's only leaders were 99batran, Arcy, and MrOwnerandPwner. And DisturbedFan1100 was a advisor.
