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.

 Patron Article of the Month – List of political parties in Kalșeri by Symposium, selected by Yuutarou Kalșeri is a multi-party democracy, where multiple parties regularly contest in national and cantonal elections. After achieving independence in 1783, the Kalșerian political landscape has been traditionally dominated by the Whig Party and the Liberal Republican Party. Starting from the 1890s, the Labor Party, the Christian Democrats and the Farmers' Party have also enjoyed popularity between the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. The collapse of the Whigs is often seen as the "First Restructuring" of Kalșerian politics. While short-lived, Ioen Rovuan's presidency played a major role in the "Second Restructuring" of Kalșerian politics, as the Labor Party absorbed several left-wing parties and became the Social Cooperation Party, and the Christian Democrats merged with the Liberal Republican Party, forming the Liberal Democratic Party. A two-party system akin to that of the United States was thus established. The 1987 general election is seen as the "Third Restructuring" of the Kalșerian political ecosystem, bringing an end to the two-party system in place since 1959. Since then, a number of third parties, such as the National Democrats, Reformers, Kalșerians for Change and the Libertarians, have elected upwards of ten representatives to Congress. A party must have 500 members to qualify for presidential and Congress elections. A party loses its eligibility for national elections when the number of members is less than 500 for three straight years, or upon dissolution.
