About four score and more years before the Sun turns in its badge and goes Planetary Nebula, Mother Nature, roaring with spit and venom and never one to give up without a fight, a handshake, or lying down, will rain down upon Earth all of the global catastrophe scenarios they can think of, all at the exact same time and ironically carried in on the backs of four horsemen. When the dust clears two weeks later (14 days to flatten the curvature) Wikipedia will regroup, eventually be sent off into space, and prevail!
Wikitext soon becomes the dominant language of a new civilization. Wikipe-tan the only species. All computers will carry Wikipedia and, darn tootin' if it ain't so, nothing else. ~~~~ becomes the official signature of wikikind, all clothing will be adorned with glorious hand-drawn Wikipedia logos, all schools will be taught using just Wikipedia, and all healthcare and travel will occur via Wikipedia. Everyone edits it. And all games (and gamers political subset - all news) will be played, decided on, and seen only through...you guessed it. Wikipedia.
This will create WikiWorld.
3-step plan
- Create a secret vault filled with drives containing the entirety of Wikipedia at the secret Wikipedia admin headquarters.
- When the world ends, send the drives up to space in a WikiGlobe-shaped spacecraft.
- Alien civilizations will find the craft, and the rest will be history.

Culture
Media
Wikimedia Commons is the main social media platform, where citizens of WikiWorld can post pictures and videos about their lives, and also view any television media, effectively replacing Instagram and YouTube.
Wikisource is the global and only library.
Hotel Wikipedia is the top song on the planet, with each citizen listening to it an average of 2.5 times a day.
Food and Drink
Wikipedihol is frequently liquidized and used as a stimulant, replacing coffee, and is drunk out of Wikipedia mugs.
Fast food is the only means of eating, and is prepared by robots in convenient locations across WikiWorld.
Education and Healthcare
Healthcare is administered by robots, which are stationed across the planet and visit homes when called on. The bots source all of their medical information from Wikipedia.
Education is done through Wikiversity and Wikibooks and consists of mandatory schooling between the ages of 4 and 47, plus optional free post secondary education.
Economy
Most sectors of the economy are automated, with most jobs either being in robotic development, management, education, or wiki editing. The economy is valued at $1,239,418,086. All corporations are under control of the WikiMedia Foundation, which itself is owned by the government.
Crime
Crime is low in WikiWorld, with vandalism being the most common offence. Law enforcement is managed by Administrators.
Governance
Governance is mainly handled by consensus decision-making, which happens virtually. The government is led by the Arbitration Committee, which is elected yearly. However, Wikipe-tan, as the empress, has the final decision on everything.
