    It also means, we could theoretically populate a country the size of Switzerland with AO3 users only.

      IDK for sure, but I might be open to living in a country populated solely by fanfiction fans lol

        Aw hell no, I don't want a shipping war to turn into a REAL war. D:

          Oh, I didn't think of that, but true, ship wars get brutal.

          Theres a series idea in there somewhere. Different fandoms as districts, and the ships start turf wars

        It will probably balkanize very quicky due to ongoing ship wars at each and every corner, but yeah, the idea does have merit. The currency will, of course, be called Kudos, the national dish would be the dead dove, and the most common extreme sport will be "having no beta."
