Welcome to the FSA Newcomers Guide, where new and prospective mappers interested in the Federal States of Archanta Project can learn more about the project as a whole and ways to get involved with the project. This page is intended to be a basic introduction to the project; more in-depth and detailed information can be found on the FSA project page.
About the FSA
The Federal States of Archanta is OGF's largest collaborative project. Dozens of mappers have participated in the project since it launched in 2018. The FSA is generally inspired by -- but not a direct replica of -- the United States of America. Major decisions on the project's features and directions are made based on the consensus of the owners of the FSA's approximately 60 states and territories. Additionally, several states are collaborative endeavours that provide newer mappers with an opportunity to participate in the project without requiring the commitment or activity levels that stateowners are held responsible for.
Collaborative State Directory
There are currently 9 active collaborative states or territories in the Federal States, each with a unique American-style theme. Mappers who are looking to get involved in one of these collaborative projects are encouraged to reach out to each state's coordinators for more information or to request permission to map (except in Michisaukee, which is open to all mappers per OGF's "blue territory" rules).

Vacant States
If you are interested in claiming a vacant state, there are several vacant states available throughout the nation. Interested mappers should submit a territory request. To ensure cohesive regions, new applicants are encouraged to reach out to neighboring stateowners and to develop a basic plan for the state prior to submitting a territory request. A list of vacant states and active stateowners is maintained on the FSA project page.
