The National Park System of the Federal States exists to showcase not only important or unique areas of the Federal States, but also to honor high-quality mapping contributions by members of the FSA community. National Parks and other "National" areas are nominated by individual mappers and are voted on by the FSA community every six months.
The National Park System of the Federal States exists to showcase not only important or unique areas of the Federal States, but also to honor high-quality mapping contributions by members of the FSA community. National Parks and other "National" areas are nominated by individual mappers and are voted on by the FSA community every six months.


==Nomination Process==
==Approved National Parks==
FSA stateowners are encouraged to nominate areas of high-quality mapping for consideration in the National Park System. These can be their own work, or the work of other mappers. At this time, there is '''no limit''' to the number of nominations each stateowner can produce. The approvals will be included on the biannual FSA Coordinator Vote of Confidence, which is scheduled for February and August of each year.
===Tier I===
''Tier I'' sites are the highest-quality and the most prestigious. While there is no minimum or maximum size, to be approved as a Tier I classification the FSA community must vote with a ''supermajority'' of at least 75% approval. Tier I classifications are as follows:
* '''National Parks''' are primarily natural spaces;
* '''National Historic Sites''' are primarily developed or man-made spaces; and
* '''National Monuments''' are very unique areas, either natural or man-made.


Nominations must be sent via OGF message to the [https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/TheMayor FSA Coordinator] by the last day of the month prior to the biannual election: the next FSA Coordinator Vote of Confidence is in August 2022, which means all nominations for the next vote must be received by '''31 July 2022'''. Nominations must include the location of the site and the requested title of the site, which determines the majority vote needed to be approved. There are two tiers of classification:

Prior to approval, these sites may be tagged as "State ______" (or "Regional ______" if the site spans multiple states) as applicable.
===Tier II===
''Tier II'' sites are still high-quality sites, but only require a ''simple majority'' vote of over 50% to be approved. Tier II classifications are any other "National" classification, including but not limited to:
* National Forest, National Prairie, or other natural feature as applicable
* National Wildlife Refuge
* National Heritage Area
* National Battlefield (to be determined once more information about [[Collab:Federal States/History|FSA History]] is determined)
* National Lakeshore or National Seashore


If a site is nominated but fails the confirmation vote, the site is not eligible to be nominated again until the following voting cycle: for instance, if a site was nominated for the February 2021 vote and was not approved, it cannot be nominated for the August 2021 vote but is eligible for the February 2022 vote.
==Legacy==
Following the close of voting, approved nominations will be posted here and those sites will officially become part of the FSA National Park System. Once National Park status has been approved, these sites are to be protected as-is regardless of current or future state ownership: the mapped features of the National Park shall not be changed (except to add additional detail) and the boundaries of the approved site shall not change.
Any expansions would require a second round of nominations for the site as "annexes": for instance, if Sample State Park was approved to become Sample National Park, any additional expansion areas should be nominated as "Sample National Park Annex" and would require a 75% approval on the next ballot before those areas could be officially considered part of Sample National Park.
Areas that are approved for Tier II status can be upgraded and nominated for a Tier I status at the next eligible election.

==Active Nominations==
==Nomination Process==
===Current Ballot===
FSA stateowners are encouraged to nominate areas of high-quality mapping for consideration in the National Park System. These can be their own work, or the work of other mappers; however, in the case of a "third-party" nomination, the original mapper must agree to a site's nomination to be added to the ballot. At this time, there is '''no limit''' to the number of nominations each stateowner can produce. The approvals will be included on the biannual FSA Omnibus Ballot, which is scheduled for February and August of each year.
The following sites are currently part of the ballot which closes on 15 February 2022. Results will be posted following the end of voting:
 
Nominations should be posted on this page by the last day of the month prior to the biannual election: the next FSA Omnibus Ballot is in August 2025, which means all nominations for the next vote must be received by '''31 July 2025'''.  Nominations must include the location of the site and the requested title of the site, which determines the majority vote needed to be approved.
 
Prior to approval, sites may be tagged as "State ______" (or "Regional ______" if the site spans multiple states) as applicable.
 
If a site is nominated but fails the confirmation vote, the site is not eligible to be nominated again until the following voting cycle: for instance, if a site was nominated for the February 2021 vote and was not approved, it cannot be nominated for the August 2021 vote but is eligible for the February 2022 vote.
 
To avoid failed nominations, mappers are strongly encouraged to use the [[Forum:Federal States|FSA forums]] to get feedback from the FSA community on proposed sites before nominating them for National Park System status.
 
===Active Nominations===
Add nominations for the February 2026 ballot here no later than '''31 January 2026'''.

Once National Park status has been approved, these sites are to be protected as-is regardless of current or future state ownership: the mapped features of the National Park shall not be changed (except to add additional detail) and the boundaries of the approved site shall not change.
Any expansions would require a second round of nominations for the site as "annexes": for instance, if Sample State Park was approved to become Sample National Park, any additional expansion areas should be nominated as "Sample National Park Annex" and would require a 75% approval on the next ballot before those areas could be officially considered part of Sample National Park.
Areas that are approved for Tier II status can be upgraded and nominated for a Tier I status at the next eligible election.

The National Park System of the Federal States exists to showcase not only important or unique areas of the Federal States, but also to honor high-quality mapping contributions by members of the FSA community. National Parks and other "National" areas are nominated by individual mappers and are voted on by the FSA community every six months.

Approved National Parks

Tier I

Tier I sites are the highest-quality and the most prestigious. While there is no minimum or maximum size, to be approved as a Tier I classification the FSA community must vote with a supermajority of at least 75% approval. Tier I classifications are as follows:

  • National Parks are primarily natural spaces;
  • National Historic Sites are primarily developed or man-made spaces; and
  • National Monuments are very unique areas, either natural or man-made.

Tier II

Tier II sites are still high-quality sites, but only require a simple majority vote of over 50% to be approved. Tier II classifications are any other "National" classification, including but not limited to:

  • National Forest, National Prairie, or other natural feature as applicable
  • National Wildlife Refuge
  • National Heritage Area
  • National Battlefield (to be determined once more information about FSA History is determined)
  • National Lakeshore or National Seashore

Nomination Process

FSA stateowners are encouraged to nominate areas of high-quality mapping for consideration in the National Park System. These can be their own work, or the work of other mappers; however, in the case of a "third-party" nomination, the original mapper must agree to a site's nomination to be added to the ballot. At this time, there is no limit to the number of nominations each stateowner can produce. The approvals will be included on the biannual FSA Omnibus Ballot, which is scheduled for February and August of each year.

Nominations should be posted on this page by the last day of the month prior to the biannual election: the next FSA Omnibus Ballot is in August 2025, which means all nominations for the next vote must be received by 31 July 2025. Nominations must include the location of the site and the requested title of the site, which determines the majority vote needed to be approved.

Prior to approval, sites may be tagged as "State ______" (or "Regional ______" if the site spans multiple states) as applicable.

If a site is nominated but fails the confirmation vote, the site is not eligible to be nominated again until the following voting cycle: for instance, if a site was nominated for the February 2021 vote and was not approved, it cannot be nominated for the August 2021 vote but is eligible for the February 2022 vote.

To avoid failed nominations, mappers are strongly encouraged to use the FSA forums to get feedback from the FSA community on proposed sites before nominating them for National Park System status.

Active Nominations

Note: Edits were made to the Maze Dunes and Hundred Lagoons nominations during the voting period in February 2024. As a result, these nominations were automatically withdrawn, but since the vote was not completed, they are eligible to be resubmitted for the next omnibus ballot.

Legacy

Following the close of voting, approved nominations will be posted here and those sites will officially become part of the FSA National Park System. Once National Park status has been approved, these sites are to be protected as-is regardless of current or future state ownership: the mapped features of the National Park shall not be changed (except to add additional detail) and the boundaries of the approved site shall not change.

Any expansions would require a second round of nominations for the site as "annexes": for instance, if Sample State Park was approved to become Sample National Park, any additional expansion areas should be nominated as "Sample National Park Annex" and would require a 75% approval on the next ballot before those areas could be officially considered part of Sample National Park.

Areas that are approved for Tier II status can be upgraded and nominated for a Tier I status at the next eligible election.
