Clump
A clump is a group of things. A group of clumps is called a grove. These terms are most commonly used in social media, though its use elsewhere is growing.
Wikiland's provinces are called groves, and they include counties called clumps.
Clumpsort
Clumpsort is a stable sorting algorithm developed by the informative seal, designed to efficiently merge clumps across multiple groves into a single one. The algorithm takes a grove of unsorted clumps. Items in each clump are sorted using a merge sort. The new arrangement of the first clump is then stored in a data buffer, typically a queue. The next clump in the grove is then iterated through until a value greater than the leading value in the buffer is found. This merged clump is stored in a new buffer. This process iterates until the end of the grove is reached. Other functions can parse the sorted grove and split it as they deem necessary. This algorithm sucks.
