What is Conworlding? 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.

Featured article 2020 Sierran federal election | Featured election Susan Kwon, leader of the Social Democrats, won a plurality of seats in the House of Commons. Author: Centrist16 Project: Altverse II Country: Sierra Votes cast: 37,819,301 Turnout: 87.2% Summary: The 2020 Sierran federal election for the 78th House of Commons was held on Friday, May 1, 2020. According to the Fixed Legislative Session Act of 2005, the election was required to be held no later than 1825 days (five years) after the previous election on December 16, 2016, making the latest possible date on December 15, 2021. However, on February 19, 2020, due to the political consequences and fallout of the Red Rock Castle crisis, the House of Commons approved a motion to call early elections by a vote of 141 for the motion and 134 against the motion. A third of the Senate's 77 regular senatorial seats are also scheduled for reelection in 2020. The election was originally scheduled for April 3, 2020 but was postponed by an entire month due to concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both constitutional and federal laws did not require that House and Senate elections be held concurrently unless there is a double dissolution. However, due to prevailing convention, the Senate passed a motion to hold a simultaneous election on the same date as the House's snap election. The election resulted in a Social Democratic plurality of 3 seats, acquiring a net gain of 56 seats in the process, one of the largest electoral gains in Sierran history. The party won 28.02% of the popular vote. The election has been called a realigning election as it saw major gains by third parties and major losses for the historically top three performing parties. The Royalist and Libertarian parties incurred substantial losses to the emerging Christian Democrats, including its stronghold in the Deseret and Eastern Interior Sierra. The Democratic-Republicans also loss various seats that were traditionally blue in the Styxie and Creole Coast to the Social Democrats. This would ultimately be the last federal election in Sierra in which it was held while the kingdom was made up of three constituent countries. Almost a year later, a series of referendums in El Norte would lead to the establishment of Bajaría as the fourth constituent country, increasing the size of parliament and leading to a second snap election which re-affirmed the results and re-alignment established by Kwon.

Its territory was comprised of the former lands of the British Mandatory Palestine. As an independent confederation, the Levantine Commune consisted of 2 constituent 'communes' with relative autonomy from the federal government and the Jerusalem Special Administrative Zone, with Jerusalem being directly governed by the federal government as their seat of power. Despite this federal division of power, much of the Levantine Commune was centralised with a planned economy and the federal ability to veto laws passed by the communes. It was the first and last communist state in the Middle East with its capital and largest city being Jerusalem. On the 6th of October, 1973, Israeli nationalist politicians attempted a coup of the Levantine Commune government and of the Israeli Commune government. The coup fell apart after 3 days but the impact of the attempted coup was widespread and destabilising for the country. While the coup perpetrators had been arrested and imprisoned, many of the militias who had defected to join the coup were unaffected and thousands of coup participators were still in active service. Many within both communes began advocating for independence. The federal government attempted reform to quell the instability and called for snap elections in April 1974, but partisanship deadlocked the parliament and so the presidents of the Levantine Commune declared a state of emergency and dissolved legislatures and attempted to take full control of the country, leading to the Levantine National Schism where the Israeli and Palestinian Communes rose up and broke away from the rule of the federal government. The schism lasted for 3 months before it escalated to the 1975 Levant War which took place across the Middle East between the Levantine Commune government, Israel and Palestine. The war was inconclusive and the Levantine Commune failed to take back its lands but did occupy northern Jordan with Iraq. After the wars conclusion, the president Barnaby Har-Zahav declared the Levantine Commune's dissolution. Want to see your favourite article here? Consider supporting us on Patreon!
