Conworlding, also called worldbuilding, is the process of constructing an imaginary world, sometimes associated with a whole fictional universe. The resulting world may be called a constructed world or a conworld. The term "worldbuilding" was popularized at science fiction writers' workshops in the 1970s. Developing an imaginary setting with coherent qualities such as a history, geography, and ecology is a key task for many science fiction or fantasy writers. Worldbuilding often involves the creation of maps, a backstory, and people for the world. Constructed worlds can enrich the backstory and history of fictional works, and it is not uncommon for authors to revise their constructed worlds while completing its associated work. Constructed worlds can be created for personal amusement and mental exercise, or for specific creative endeavors such as novels, video games, or role-playing games.
Author: Centrist16 Project: Altverse II Occupations: Politician, revolutionary Affiliations: Sierran republicanism, Landonism Allegiance: Second California Republic Summary: Isaiah Clayton Landon (November 5, 1817 – December 29, 1888) was an American-born Sierran politician best known for his instrumental role in the Sierran Civil War as the leader of the self-proclaimed Second California Republic and the Republican faction. Known for his vitriolic disdain of monarchism and Jacobitism, Landon was an avowed republican, and an advocate for Marxistsocialism in Sierra, who amassed support from a large segment of Sierran workers and farmers, primarily those from the Styxie. His legacy, particularly with his ideological views on the monarchy and capitalism, along with the controversial military decisions he undertook under the Republic, has become ubiquitous with public perception of republicanism and socialism in Sierra, and known internationally as Landonism. He has been regarded as a polarizing figure who is viewed as vilified, dangerous, and incendiary by opponents or revered as brave, heroic, and passionate.
Landon is regarded as the Father of Socialist Republicanism in Anglo-America, and spent the remaining eleven years after the war under house arrest, writing the majority of his works criticizing monarchism, capitalism, and social blights in Sierra, including his most famous work, Exploitation in the Modern Age. During his final years, he developed Landonism, which was the cumulative synthesis of his views. Although his views on capitalism and advocacy for Marxism were largely ignored by his contemporaries, his ideas were later drawn upon by international leftist movements throughout the world, and would be cited as inspiration for the Bolsheviks during the failed Russian Revolution, along with various other leftist movements. Landon's works were a major influence on the development of the United Commonwealth's Continentalist Party and instrumental in the Continental Revolutionary War, which resulted in the first Landonist regime there. While Landon has been revered romantically in contemporary times as a revolutionary, his military tactics, especially those towards the end of the civil war, and his governance as the Republic's only chairman have been met with controversy, and has attracted criticism. Landon is also the paternal grandfather of Robert Landon (1901-1909), Sierra's 9th Prime Minister who was a Democratic-Republican. After decades of Landon's contributions and views towards socialism being overlooked by Sierran culture, there has been a contemporary revival in interest of his works. (more...)
Originally founded on Wikia, the Constructed Worlds Wiki, affectionately known as Conworlds, is a place to host and share constructed worlds, alternate history, and other creative endeavours. Projects of any nature are welcome here, and creativity is encouraged!
On Mainspace articles we suggest that writers follow our Manual of Style. The majority of content on the Mainspace is written in an encyclopedic format like on Wikipedia. For all other kinds of pages, there are a number of namespaces anyone can use. Editors can opt in their pages to our content assessment system, vote to feature articles at the village pump, and even earn awards and decorations for their writing.
It is important to fully review and understand our policies and guidelines before editing on our Wiki. The Admins generally prefer to let people self-regulate, but it is for the sake of keeping Conworlds an inclusive and safe community that we insure compliance with these policies. Particularly of import are the protocols around copyrights, the enforcement of which are necessary to our continued presence here on Miraheze.
Aside from our policies, it is also important that users understand the Four Cs: civility, collaboration, consensus, and cooperation.
Civility: Editors should treat each other with courtesy, good faith, and respect.
Collaboration: Editors should make an effort to work together on shared projects.
Consensus: Editors should participate in decision-making and seek arrangements which are suitable to all.
Cooperation: Editors should never wantonly antagonize or hinder others.
The Constructed Worlds Wiki needs your help! Join the ACCTF today!
The Attribution and Copyright Compliance Task Force (abbreviated ACCTF) is a Conworlds task force and project which aims to identify and resolve attribution issues involving the articles, templates, files, and categories of the Constructed Worlds Wiki. Its goal is to ensure the Constructed Worlds Wiki remains in good standing through its compliance with and respect for Miraheze's guidelines regarding proper attribution and copyright policies. Due to the nature of the Constructed Worlds Wiki first and foremost as a worldbuilding community wiki that seeks to emulate the appearance and style of Wikipedia, many of its articles are based on or inspired by Wikipedia. Consequently, it may feature articles which may or may not properly attribute its Wikipedia sourced material. Material which have been copied, transposed, imported, or derived from Wikipedia (and elsewhere) which fail to have proper attribution may be in violation of Wikipedia's or other similar sites' copyrights. The Constructed Worlds Wiki administration takes this very seriously as non-compliance or negligence may result in the wiki's own deletion. To that end, the ACCTF was created on 3 March 2023 to meet the demands and standards of proper attribution and copyright compliance. If you are interested in assisting the wiki with this important responsibility, please join the ACCTF today!
