'''Patron Article of the Month – ''[[2059 Atlantic hurricane season]]'' by {{U|Soilaf}}, selected by {{u|Eviltoast05}}'''
'''Patron Article of the Month – ''[[Damage Inc.]]'' by {{u|Solace}}, selected by {{u|Robballgamer2009}}'''


The '''2059 Atlantic hurricane season''' is the most active and damaging {{W|Atlantic hurricane season}} in recorded history, with an incredible 58 tropical depressions, 55 {{w|Tropical cyclone naming|named storms}}, 36 hurricanes, and 20 {{w|Saffir-Simpson scale|major hurricanes}} - far exceeding the previous record set in the 2034 season, in addition to smashing the global record of 54 depressions & 39 tropical storms previously set in the {{w|1964 Pacific typhoon season}}. The unrivaled hyperactivity of the season was attributed to the lingering effects of human-caused {{w|climate change}} during most of the 20th and the 21st centuries, which - combined with an exceptionally strong {{W|La Niña}} event - permitted {{w|Tropical cyclogenesis|tropical development}} almost anywhere within the {{w|Atlantic Ocean}} and contributed to the historic intensities of several storms during the year.
'''Damage Inc.''' (short for "Incorporation") was a Sierran {{W|thrash metal}} band formed in [[Porciúncula]] in 1979. Its original lineup consisted of guitarist/vocalist [[Max Leftfield]], guitarist [[Daniel Mustang]], bassist [[Griffin Beckett]], and drummer [[Gary Alaric]]; in 1983 Beckett would leave to form his band, with [[Kevin Eldridge]] replacing him on bass shortly afterward. At the height of their fame in the 1980s, the band had popularized the Sierran thrash metal scene with songs such as "Whiplash" and "Four Mechanix", and are seen alongside [[Sureiyaa]], [[Quikkill]], and [[Lockjaw]] as one of the "big four" in Anglo-American thrash metal.


For the first time in history, the {{W|National Hurricane Center}} abandoned their typical Atlantic hurricane season boundaries of June 1-November 30, which were far exceeded during the record-breaking season: the first storm of the year, Tropical Storm Angelina, formed on March 11 and the final system of the season, Hurricane Heather, actually persisted into 2060, dissipating on January 5. For almost the entire season, storms formed at a record pace (an incredible 15 {{w|tropical cyclones}}, including four {{W|List of Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes|Category 5 hurricanes}}, developed during the month of September). The initial naming list used during the season - extended to 26 names with the addition of letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z - was exhausted, necessitating the usage of an auxiliary list. In unprecedented circumstances, the auxiliary list of 21 names also ran out, which forced the NHC and {{w|WMO}} to draft up a ''second'' backup list of another 21 names.
In 1980, the band released its first album ''Damage Your Ass'' on the independent record label Vanquish Records, to minor commercial success but received critical acclaim, with the band landing their first venue gigs during this time. Due to their hectic performances and the album's notoriety spreading by word of mouth, the band had caught the attention of bigger labels, which led to Damage Inc signing with [[Avocado Records]]. The band's untitled second studio album, commonly known as ''Damage Inc.'', would be released in 1982 to moderate success, debuting at number 39 on the [[Sunset 100]] chart. According to the ''[[Porciúncula Times]]'', the album confirmed the band's status as the leading heavy metal band of the modern era, and for redefining the norms of thrash metal. ''Damage Inc.'' would be the last to feature bassist Griffin Beckett, who would leave the band after their 1983 ''Hail To The Victors'' tour to form his own band, later known as Lockjaw. He would be replaced by Kevin Eldridge.


A total of nine Category 5 hurricanes formed during the 2059 Atlantic hurricane season: [[Hurricane Laurence|Laurence]], [[Hurricane Vladimir|Vladimir]], [[Hurricane Yelena|Yelena]], [[Hurricane Elaine|Elaine]], [[Hurricane Landon|Landon]], [[Hurricane Mirabel|Mirabel]], [[Hurricane Nicholas (2059)|Nicholas]], [[Hurricane Rana|Rana]], and [[Hurricane Cothran|Cothran]].

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. (read more)

Flag of Kalseri.svg Kalșeri | Selected constate
Map of Kalșeri

Author: DatMaster001
Project: Independent
Capital: Evalria
Population: 28,773,400
Leader(s): President Maksimilianus Ureska
Summary: Kalșeri, (occasionally rendered as Kalseri or Kalsheri; /kælˈʃɛrɪ, kɔl-/, Kalhan: [kɐɫˈʃeɾɪ]), officially the State of Kalșeri (Rial Kalșeri) is an island country in North America, lying on the North Atlantic Ocean. It consists of a major island and several smaller islands, some of which inhabited. With a population of 28,773,400, Kalșeri is the 51st most populated country, between Mozambique and Madagascar.

Kalșeri is a federal presidential republic that consists of thirteen cantons. The President, who is also the head of government, is elected directly by the people every five years, and their powers include signing or vetoing bills passed by the High Council, which meets in the capital city of Evalria. The High Council is the organ through which the people request laws to be promulgated or repealed; it is headed by the High Summoner, who convenes or adjourns it and manages the day-to-day operations of the body.

Kalșeri is a member of several global organizations, such as the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, NATO, OECD, WTO, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the OSCE and the OAS.

Pre-Columbian Kalșeri was inhabited by several ethnic groups, among which the Lág people, who would rule the island until the arrival of the British. Following a period of co-existence with the Spanish and the French, much of modern-day Kalșeri was made into a British province in 1669; British rule would last until 1783, when, following a war of independence, Kalșeri was established as a kingdom. The re-established monarchy lasted until 1891, when a civil war broke out and ended with the division of Kalșeri into the Kalșerian Republic and the Reformed Kingdom Lág; this division lasted until 1952, when the two countries unified and the modern Kalșerian state was established.

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.

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.

Attribution and Copyright Compliance Task Force.svg

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. 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 has 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 have legal ramifications. To that end, the ACCTF was created on 3 March 2023 to meet the demands and standards of proper attribution and copyright compliance with respect to Canadian copyright law.
