Geia
Legend of Zelda has it that the ancestor of Geia emerged in the faraway year of 2009, when the creator of Cazbekistan (Luan, the same guy who founded TBS?) had to do it as school work, but didn't avenge in such format. In 2013, the Lusophone fictional TV community (led by a dozen fictional Brazilian channels) decided to create a subgame: a fictional, virtual, nameless world, starting its activity on July 4 of that year. We will call that day as Geia Day. Some went further and played with NationStates (Rainsaw was a region in NationStates that year, but with South Matamah and Talcaland), but Facebook was the center of the whole thing. Some users who are still with us, such as Gineki, DonOnce and DonaldoC1997, quickly joined. The name came after half a year without a name, and many voted in the chat.

Geia consisted of just two continents: Rainsaw (west) and Eurcacia (east). According to the oldest cartographic records dated from -1 a.Gap. (before Gapia; rather, January 2014) it had at least thirty sovereign countries and a nuclear test island that was later abolished. Out of nowhere, in February a third continent was born, Nortolunia (we believe that the name is due to its location since it was entirely north of the equator) and it was one of the many controversies that Geia had. Compared to the previous map, there were changes in size and abuses of the privacy of the borders, without giving permission to the owners. Geia was a world of tarados, apparently one of the countries (Chocaputa) would bring more benefit to Jair Bolsonaro and TV Maresol than to the international geopolitical sector. One user created the immortal expression "umabalo", which quickly became a food brand, the phrase "meu pau vai te processar por danos" (shame that tecraudio was never part of Geia) and he did not like pudding. Ah yes, I forgot: if you don't like pudding, I'll answer you with this image: Some of its most important countries were:
 * South Matamah: Despite being Geia's Portugal, it had aspirations to be a Geian superpower. With a population comparable to that of Brazil, the country was capitalist but had a communist government (often Vietnam from Bizarro World). He almost left in the middle of the civil war as "a traidor and an hijo de puta who throws the rules at his convenience" (more information in the civil war).
 * Talcaland: South Matamah's main neighbor. It was a mixture of Chile po weon culiao with elements of Venezuela, but in a parallel dimension where democracy returned. Its population was 115 million. It also had elements from Spain, being that Walcabinyo (present-day Plamania was one of its regions, while the rest were in the Independent Kingdom of Latinolia.
 * Bluko: Bluko was Rainsaw's superpower. It was the most developed country in the technological and infrastructure sectors. But unfortunately it felt like a country where Arthur Esvael's dreams would come true.
 * Hisqaida: Hisqaida did not have an accent in Spanish (Hisqáida) and was the United States fic of Geia, with tinges of Canada (Corus Entertainment, for example) and Eikaroth. The number of "we just want to live it our way" things increased in the current canon.
 * Centralia: It was as if it were Geia's Mexico.
 * Novalia: A benign Hispanic country with influences from the 2009 Disney Channel movie Princess Protection Program, Arthur Esvael-type companies such as Planeta stores in more than 8000 countries throughout Geia and Azorita, an obsession with Disney and prohibition of acts of prostitution.
 * Surtaline: Was a bit like the United States of America, then divided in two, with East Surtaline becoming the world's capital of maconha.
 * Cazbekistan: donaldo write something

Civil war
Geia was a confusing world. Many of their countries only spoke of natural disasters, wars and coups. Others created countries to be in the map and never post again. In addition, they voted where the next FFAI World Cup (FAFI at that time) was going to be held and created fake accounts to vote in their own country (as if it were Eurdevisión).

The first sign of the apocalypse was the fateful October 22, 2014, when a tonto culiao with a fake account imitating DonOnce led everyone to believe that it was a secondary account, which they believed was an administrator and eliminated the others. Gineki solved all this and created a new 2.0 version of the group, with a poster satirizing the situation of Novo Banco that same year (Novo Grupo). Later the unmanaged group was declared spam and part of the Geian story completely disappeared.

Intergeias (or intergapias)
DonOnce, realizing that Geia was being taken over by the imperialists, decided to reactivate the group on May 19, 2015, changing the name to Grupo de Naciones Sin Nombre Momentáneamente (Momentarily Nameless Group of Nations). DonOnce warned in the group (rough translation) that: “It should be noted that this group is secret and no one should know about its existence, not even Gineki. Those who report the existence of the group will be accused of very, very high treason". At that time, DonOnce and Gineki had a little argument about Geia, so that Gineki wouldn't know about Gapia. DonaldoC1997 said in the comments: “I will stay as an observer member. I will keep my activities exclusively in Geia". From there, only selected people were added. After the closure of Geia, all the members that used to be there had moved to Gapia entirely.

In the summer (northern hemisphere) of 2015, Donaldo bought New Rhumb, auctioned off from its former Brazilian owner.

There was a scandal in July 2015 due to the war between worlds, calling Donaldo "un traidor y un hijo de puta que tira las reglas a su conveniencia" and blanking the South Matamah page with the message above. As a stop-gap solution, Donaldo created a new wiki for Geia with assistance from Gineki. It is said that in the last weeks of Geia, a certain Bicentenarioandre, owner of Novalia, disappeared.

"Geia users have 5 days (from August 30) to take their articles to their new wiki. After September 4 they will be deleted due to the new planet that this wiki is taken over.

Kisses, The Founder."

"Chau Geia

VIVA GAPIA"

Setup
Gapia was created on March 29, 2013 (before Geia) as an experience at the unnamed NationStates, but returned to work after DonOnce rediscovered the group. As of October 24, 2015, with the hunt for all the members of Geia finished and the destruction of the hideouts near the indicated places, Gapia became the only world of users. In those months, a user from Macao and one from Japan who were making logos for their own countries were interested in Gapia (they already had some interest since the last days of Geia), but since they could not use an account on Facebook, Gineki created a new category of users, wiki users, to create their countries. So Thomas Kong began to contribute with Centierras and Kalandia and KansasJ with Surostia (later Surodecia).

Invasion Mihsign 2.0
After the silent defeat of Mihai Tutaru, in recent months a number of users, including Going to Cajvana, linked to the Mihsign Vision group of users, have vandalized articles related to the Eurdecian Union, misinterpreted Bluko's exit as Anglosaw's and divided Dalagary in two.

All the nonsense of the first half of 2021
Recently the controversial Fic Wiki/5689 community was discovered. Led by Abdi5689 (source of the 5689 nickname) who is from Indonesia, The Testcardiologist likened it to Arretia. Its world is Aventia and its countries are confusing. Likewise there is a heavy concentration of TV-related articles.

LFP almost received merger threats with DLW in March 2021, these threats were later prevented as her DeviantArt account was deactivated at least twice.
