[ WP ] You are a mapmaker , part of a secret order of mapmakers who have been inciting wars and rebellion for centuries in order to stay in business updating maps .

Lower Gordoz. Hilldaus. 
 
 Two nations side by side on the Maesian continent. Both house an arsenal of thermonuclear weapons that are about to be seized by the United Federation of Nations. Both countries are unaware of the package I've just left in the office of a Mr. Todd Gaffer, soon to be Prime Minister of the breakaway nation called the Yalda Republic. See, this package here iss about to change the face of earth. 
 
 `` How could that be?'' I hear you asking. `` Could it be a bomb?''. 
 
 A nuclear explosion would certainly leave one big fucking crater on the ground, but this package here did n't have no nuclear bomb waiting to go off. No, this was something much more subtle. Still, it would help change the face of the earth, if at least from the human perspective. None of the forests sitting between Lower Gordoz and Hilldaus would be uprooted, nor would the rolling green and yellow hillsides be torn apart to stick a new mass of land in. The Yalda Republic was already there in truth, but the maps just had n't gotten around to showing it yet. 
 
 That's where I come in. See, I'm a mapmaker, and I do n't just mean a fellow who draws the goddamn borders on the page. I make them *real*. Nothing arbitrary about them. You'd better believe that when I get to work, I put up boundaries that are as real to men as any fence, trench, or spiked wall. Just now I'd left the latest map I'd done up for the soon-to-be Prime Minister of the Yalda Republic. This alone wo n't put things into motion, because making real maps means making the conflicts that create them. 
 
 The Yalda Republic's people are about to breakaway in what will likely be a bloody civil war. Neither Lower Gordoz or Hilldaus is ready and are n't even aware of that maps I've been making, but soon enough they'll find that their nations' borders are about to change. The new republic will succeed, as I've seen to it that a few sophisticated weapons fall into the hands of the Yaldaen peoples. I've also helped a few chaps prepare for a calculated attack against both country's power grids, which will likely cripple the modern technical infrastructure of the two nations. Before long, the maps will all need updating once again. 
 
 I'm damn good at my job. I know how to keep business going and I do n't plan on getting out of it anytime soon. I've already got a few other updates planned, but I'm making sure I do n't carry out the changes to close together... the more times the maps are update, the more money lining our pockets at the end of the day.
