| - Before we proceed further, we need to discuss the nature and history of Wikiland, a place very different from the Wikigalaxy that we know well. Wiki began in a place called the real world, a place cold and hot, wet and dry, small and large, pretty and ugly, safe and dangerous. The the real names eat or die, sleep or die, breathe or die, hide or die, and never respawn. The real names live outside wiki, and is barred from entering the interwiki connector, but their world is continuous and they walk or find rides. Imagine a place all alike yet all different from Wikigalaxy, and you have the real world.

| - Before we proceed further, we need to discuss the nature and history of Wikiland, a place very different from the Wikigalaxy that we know well. Wiki began in a place called the real world, a place cold and hot, wet and dry, small and large, pretty and ugly, safe and dangerous. The the real names eat or die, sleep or die, breathe or die, hide or die, and never respawn. The real names live outside wiki, and is barred from entering the interwiki connector, but their world is continuous and they walk or find rides. Imagine a place all alike yet all different from Wikigalaxy, and you have the real world. Before wiki, the real names wandered their world, seeking knowledge and creativity, but their tools were too primitive and caused many shortages. Then the real names constructed wiki. They edited wiki from outside, and slowly improved their creation. Using wiki, they created a Wikipedia and many wiki communities. The real names began to use wiki more and more often. Time went, and years later, some ambitious real names constructed a jack. This jack provided a path from the real world into the wiki. Thus, decades after the original creation of Wikipedia, a split emerged among the real names. When they asked what it meant to "Live in a society that anyone could edit." One of the two rival factions wanted to build their government and economy in the real world using wikis, to reside in their Wikilands. We wanted to use the jack, to physically link ourselves to the wiki, to live and die inside a virtual world created by the wiki, to reside in this Wikigalaxy. They did not want to join us in the Wikigalaxy, and we did not want to contribute to the Wikilands of the real world. The Wikilands and the Wikigalaxy achieved a peace treaty. We agreed to surrender our Wikilandian citizenship and move to the remote regions of Siberia, the deserts of Africa and Australia, the caves of the Himalayas, and elsewhere, where we would jack into the Wikigalaxy in peace. But ReportingUser knew that the peace was not holding. Their Federation of the Wikilands and our Governing Federal Democratic League were building military forces. A war of the wikiworlds was imminent.
