Mapperdonian Culture

PAGE IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT
== Basic Description ==
Mapperdonian culture was founded in the 2008 by MervueMeringue (Mathew Nicolson) and developed in the 2010. It grew and flourished into a larger crowd, calling themselves "Mappers", Or Mapperdonians to be specific. The community basically created mapping videos, where there are personified countries go onto adventures throughout history and the future. The community had officially gathered in the TFOE wiki, created by 99Batran. Many mappers migrate into the community (or wiki) to connect and share their series. Lately, the wiki is become a wiki of itself. Holding information off of the history of Mapperdonians.
== Ethnicity, Culture, Social, and Psychology Systems ==
According to sources, approximately 20-35% of the community are Americans. Making them the most dominant culture in the community as of Early 2015. However, European cultures had influenced it's opinions and thinking. For example, European culture in the Community is a dominant culture as a whole. Mainly based by Eastern Europeans. Most eastern Europeans, however, hates Turkish culture. It was promoted and influenced into the minds of the community using Polandball and historical hate. The dominant European cultures in the community is mainly Poland (not influential), Lithuanian, and Greek.
The gender in the community is estimated to be 1 female for every 100 male. The community's psychology is built upon it's political, idealist, thinking. Most mappers are typically from ages 9-14, this may or may not be a possible problem to the community's social development. However, this wiki is run mainly by people that are past the age limit.
Ironically, most of the community's wars simulate human needs, desires, and ambition. Most wars are typically over ideologies. However, there has been a increasing sign of 'Conservatism' in mappers. Most older mappers understood that usually authoritarianism is needed to secure peace in the community. Fadical Mappers (typically newer mappers) is looking to change this system, or at least used to.
Lately, there has been reported that there is a growing number of bans. Up to 1 ban per 5 people. Several mappers such as Batran, is showing increasingly beliefs of 'Realpolitiks', meaning politics or diplomacy based primarily on power and on practical and material factors and considerations, rather than explicit ideological notions or moral or ethical premises, which could be the possible reason for increasing signs of centrism in the community, despite being majority of liberal- leftists. Attaining admin power is difficult, the government chooses to handpick it's admins and staff rather than electing them, as they believe that electing a popular, but incapable, person is likely to bring downfall to the governmental system.
Have note: Despite having experience, some mappers may still run from a fight. They usually (and eventually) come back, as proven from many many many many blogs about leaving, then coming back.
== Linguistics ==
(This is merely speculation of 2014, this is no longer the case)
English is predominant and the default language used by at least 95% to 99% of the community as a way of communication. However, foreign cultures had affected it's English, typically American English, creating a whole new dialect. For example, German is popular in Mapperdonia, likely due to it's sympathism and the promotion of Polandballs. Many mappers sympathize Germany (such as in WW1), but understood it's reason for WW2. Basic words like "Ja" or "Nein" was commonly used in Mapper speech. Jabrilian was also popular in the Mapperdonian English dialect for a time too. Accents were also somewhat influenced from Eastern Europe.
Examples of heavily Mapperdonian English Accents/Dialect
* "Ja, wahts it liek for duh (or teh) squirrel to jump over duh (or teh) fox?"
* "Waht? Waht English? I no (or nein) know!"
* "We r bein blown up here, send some reinforcers (or Reinforcements)! Kebabs r killin us!"
== Slang ==
(This is merely speculation of 2014, this is no longer the case)
Mapperdonian slang comes from anywhere and everywhere. If a mapper knows it it is shared with others and are used in videos and comics.
Examples of popular slang
* Huehuehue = Hahaha
* lel= lol
* u, yuo, yoy = you
* ur = your
* ded = dead
* wierd = weird
* idk = I don't know
* k den = Okay then
* kek = lol
* dank = super or over powered
* wat, wut, wot = what
* cri = cry
* thx = thanks
* hoi, hiih, ahoj, ello = hi, hello
* plox = please
* ffs = for fucks sake
* lkr = I know right
* seyx = sexy
* SOTP = stop
* I forget the others add them here!
== Jabrilian ==
(This is merely speculation of 2014, this is no longer the case)
Jabrilian language is some form of the broken English language of the English Dialect or possibly a Creole Language. That is originally spoken by Jabril (and some UAE mappers other than the fluent ones) and now used as Mapperdonian culture for fun and poke on Jabril's speech. Some do not use it, but some do. This is also strangely similar for the countries in Polandball who don't speak
Jabril's spelling may have caused the formation of a new branch of English. Because some words are English, it was unofficially part of English branch, and it's not popular. Some research from Jabril's activity and some new words by mappers made a new language. Some connects it to Polandball. Despite all this, some Mappers are starting to get into the habit of speaking Jabrilian (Or Polandball, they both same but different dialect) regularly (mainly on internet though).
== Confusion with VideoMappers or VideoMapperdonians (WIP) ==
Videomappers, more commonly called "Tigerstarian" Mappers in Mapperdonia, is a different branch of mappers different to Mapperdonians. They do not tend to have any countries that talk. Their most considered "leader" is EmperorTigerstar. Basically, the most define trait of VideoMappers are people that makes alternate or historical videos with no country talking.
The main confusion is that VideoMappers became heavily influenced by Mapperdonians and their culture after Skype embassies are established between the two. Some started using the Mapperdonian Flag, and the name "Mapperdonian" or more commonly "VideoMapperdonian". Both sides are looking to distinguish themselves from each other, such as the use of flags.
