| - Micronational Cartography Society, or MCS, is an organization in charge of micronational mapmaking.
- The MCS was founded by Erik Metzler and Scott Alexander near the fall of the Union of Apollo States. It was created to design a standardized system of maps, of an accepted quality, to be used by the entire micronational community. Its original members consisted of Shireroth and Hyperborea; shortly after Treesia and Jasonia joined the MCS. Metzler and Alexander served as the Society's co-leaders until the Menelmacari Civil War. When the two tried to divide up Menelmacar's land fairly between the two sides, the group run by Archetype23 was outraged that the Society had failed to see things their way, and helped tar the MCS leadership as unfair and incompetent. Annoyed with the effort of defending themselves, the two disbanded the MCS. Many decided that this was not a move that the MCS should have done, and created the "Rebuild our World" project to form a new cartography society. Due to the successes of the discussion of this, Scott and Erik reversed their decision. In the new MCS, while continuing to officially be in control, the two left day-to-day operations to Ryan Caruso and Ardashir Khan. Although there was never an official power transfer, Ryan Caruso became so intimately linked with the Society and its actions that he is now indisputably its leader. Today, the MCS map is copyrighted by Ryan under Massachusets law, enforcing this claim further.
