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)

Provinces of Federal Sierra

Author: Centrist16
Leader: Prime Minister Maggie Chan
Project: Altverse II
Population: 87,287,291
Capital: Porciúncula
Summary: Sierra (Spanish: Sierra, French: Sierra, Tondolese: 塞拉, Chinese: 塞拉, Vietnamese: Dãy Núi, Korean: 시에라, Japanese: シエラ, and German: Sierra), also referred to as Federal Sierra or the Sierran mainland, is a country located mostly in the North American West Coast with a population of eighty-seven million. Sierra is a constituent country of the Kingdom of Sierra, and shares this status with two other states (the Deseret and Hawaii). The term "Federal Sierra" is often used to distinguish the constituent part of Sierra from the Kingdom of Sierra. Federal Sierra consists of twenty-three provinces, ten territories, and two crown dependencies. It borders Astoria to the north, the Deseret and Brazoria to the east, Mexico to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Sierra's Yucatán territories shares land borders with Guatemala and Belize, and maritime borders with Cuba. It has a total area of 473,207 square miles (1,225,601 km2) and a population of an estimated 59.6 million (83.4 million as the Kingdom) inhabitants in 2020, making it the most populous member state in the Conference of American States and the 29th most populous country in the world when including the Kingdom as a whole.

Sierra is a federal monarchy and a representative democracy. Although Sierra is a constituent country within the sovereign state of the Kingdom of Sierra, it accounts for over 90% of the country's population and dominates the national politics and power structure. It is a member of the League of Nations and is a permanent member on the League of Nations Security Council. It also houses the primary headquarters of the League of Nations at its capital in Porciúncula. In addition, Sierra is a member of various other international political organizations including the Conference of American States, NATO, G8, OCED, Organization of American States, TPAC, WTO, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and more. Its $7.1 trillion economy, based on nominal GDP, represents the fourth largest economy in the world. It is a highly developed country with the fourth-largest economy nominally and the fourth largest economy by purchasing power parity. In terms of aggregate household wealth, it ranks fifth in the world. It is the third largest importer and exporter in the world. It has the fourth highest nominal GDP per capita and ranks very high on the Human Development Index. Its industries in Hollywood and Silicon Valley has made Sierra a global influencer on the economy, politics, entertainment, culture, finance, technology, science, fashion, medicine, and sports. Its services-oriented economy is driven by Sierra's involvement in international finance. The Sierran dollar is one of the world's most widely used currencies, and is used as one of the main reserve currencies. (more...)

About the Wiki

Logo of the Constructed Worlds Wiki.svg

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.

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.

Finally, new editors or users should understand what Conworlds is not. This website is for free content: by editing the Constructed Worlds Wiki, you agree to license any text you add under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 4.0 (Unported). If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to leave a message on any of the Admins' talk pages or join our community Discord chat.

Thank you for visiting and happy conworlding!

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. If you are interested in assisting the wiki with this important responsibility, please join the ACCTF today!

Greater Poland (Polish: Wielkopolska), officially The People's Republic of Greater Poland, is a country in Central Europe. It is divided into 21 administrative provinces called voivodeships, covering an area of 544,709 km (210,313 sq mi). Greater Poland has a population of over 76 million and is the TBAth most populous state of Europe. Warsaw is the nation's capital and largest metropolis. Other major cities include Kraków, Wrocław, Łódź, Poznań, Gdańsk, Szczecin, and Kijów.

Greater Poland has a temperate transitional climate, and its territory traverses the Central European Plain, extending from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Sudetes and Carpathian Mountains in the south. The longest Polish river is the Vistula, and Poland's highest point is Mount Rysy, situated in the Tatra mountain range of the Carpathians.

Greater Poland regained its independence in 1918 as the Second Polish Republic, then became the Third Polish Republic post-German–Polish War. Through the Solidarity movement, Greater Poland slowly increased the amount of Progressive politicians in power for the population. Poland is a Marxist–Leninist one-party socialist unitary republic, with its bicameral legislature comprising the Sejm and the Senate. It is a developed market and a high-income economy.
