The Free Kingdom of Wikimedia, informally known as Wikiland, is a secessionist entity, and aspirant nation, located in St. Petersburg, Florida. While it possesses very little physical territory—limited to eighty-nine servers at a co-location facility—it has attracted immigrants from all over the world, and cultural conflicts resulting from this are a major social problem.With a population of over 22/7 (Not Pi Dammit) weirdos it is the largest nerd sanctuary in the world

[edit] History
Main article: History of Wikiland
Wikipedia was founded in the late 1990s by Jimbo I as an alternative to the largely over-commercialized nations of that time. The capital was located at En, which has a certain degree of special status; in particular particularly naive immigrants tend to arrive there. Also, the King's residence was in En, which gave it certain political advantages. Owing to a influx of non-English-speaking immigrants, a series of small municipalities have been set up, most notably Fr, Es, Ja, and Zh. Most Wikipedians now live outside the capital.
Due to En being overcrowded, the King moved his residence to Wikimediafoundation, a small city built outside Wikipedia, which itself lost its independence and was assimilated as a stubkingdom into the Free Kingdom of Wikimedia, although it retains tight controls on editing freedom and citizenship, requiring co-option of existing citizens to join. Given that this is the government house, entrance is limited to only to highly placed citizens of other large language WMF wikis. An internal wiki is known to exist, but it is well hidden. The newly-created simulation of Meta became the model capital of Wikiland, while its real capital, Tampon, became the public trash dump and wikigovernment residence.
In 2000 Encyclopedia Brittanica forcefully acquired Wikimedia but was forced to let it go in 2002.
[edit] Politics
Main article: Politics of Wikiland
At first, it operated as an absolute monarchy; since December 2003 this has been changing. In practice, a group of "sysops" handle day-to-day law enforcement; they are de facto appointed for life, though occasional impeachments have happened. Major punishments used to be administered by a tiny technocracy; this is under revision. King Jimbo I remains its official ruler; however, Queen Angela rules from behind the scenes.
Major political parties are the Inclusionists and Deletionists, the former being radically expansionist. Tensions between German and Polish immigrants are high, and present a social problem, as does the issue of extending recognition to Palestine and Atlantium.
[edit] Geography
Main article: Geography of Wikiland
Wikipedia has very little territory, estimated under 1/5 hectare, in a co-location facility. The territory is completely urbanized, and climate is quite moderate year-round, to within several degrees Celsius. Agriculture of the normal kind is impossible due to zoning laws and operation Fart Storm(Which has covered the Sun in Wikiland for many years); the extant agriculture, confusingly enough, only grows flames.

Main article: Economy of Wikiland
While the King has supported Wikipedia at great length, more territory was recently acquired by means of a non-binding tax and blackmailing. A major economic problem is the unauthorized duplication of Wikipedian intellectual property by residents of other nations. Little is being done about this, though some foreigners are moving into voluntary compliance.
It is generally believed that without his Majesty's personal sponsorship, Wikipedia would be unable to function. This is a regrettable situation for many. Some have suggested sending U.S. foreign aid to Wikipedia, but this has been rejected because someone lost the mapquest directions.
[edit] Demographics
Main article: Population of Wikiland
The vast majority of Wikipedians are technically literate, and many are young and somewhat leftist. This leads to occasional conflicts.
[edit] Culture
Main article: Culture of Wikiland
Wikipedia largely uses Wikiese, a dialect of Standard English, at least within En, Wikimediafoundation, Meta and Commons. However, some terms such as consensus and vandal are not used, having become profanities. While Wikipedia is largely peaceful, fights often break out between immigrant groups, and on sensitive issues such as abortion, religion and circumcision.
