Hello Detectivekenny!
Welcome to the Conworld Wiki, a site where you can create your own fictitious worlds! Be it fantasy, realism, science fiction or just plain weird, constructed worlds - we just call them worlds - are in the limelight here. You can make your own, or you can add to others'. We'll periodically feature worlds on the main page.

Our collection is quite extensive. You can browse projects by size or by genre at List of Worlds.

We encourage you to try making your own world whenever you get the inspiration or, if you're that lazy, give your ideas to someone else on this site. So join in, and may your imagination be highly productive here! If you need inspiration, check out the other worlds, chat, or help with anything that's going on.

Things to remember:
 * 1) This one's for your own good. You need to have an overview/intro for your world(s).
 * 2) Help out. Please categorize all your articles by the name of your world (or project).
 * 3) Refrain from creating tiny or bare-bones articles. Remember, keep your project interesting to readers.

If you have any questions, please:
 * visit Help:Contents, or
 * post a new topic at the Help desk, or
 * leave a message to anyone currently active on Special:Recentchanges.

We value your feedback about how this site is being run. We would also like some feedback about what you think of the other worlds on this site.

Foreign Relations
Hello!

I would like to make Creburg a sister city of Kcãpon in the NRW and also "trade" ambassadors between our countries. Is ok? Sir Spart Sparklbox 03:18, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

The ambassador is Louis Durban. I'll be working in your map in a few days, as it is a quite complex design. Sir Spart Sparklbox 19:39, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hey. I'd like to make flights Heigard-Lxungion available via Air Heigard. Is that possible?Sir Spart Sparklbox 01:51, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

IvalAir is interested as well. In addition, It is my goal to get an embassy out of all GTO members, so are you good with that too?Woogers 01:56, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try to create the page for my airport as soon as possible. Sir Spart Sparklbox 02:11, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Ambassador is Mark Stanard.Woogers 02:55, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Leubantian Airways is also interested in flights. Flights from Trilfuva's St. F&icirc;l&auml;'s Airport and J&uuml;rg T. F&icirc;sh&uuml;r International Airport would be fine.  Tur bo  Golf  19:49, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Can you please add Creburg as international destination via Air Heigard in the Tafilir Airport? Sir Spart Sparklbox 16:53, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. :) Sir Spart Sparklbox 17:04, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

GTO
I didn't set the treaty date as 1968, but the Soviet Union was a full member of the United Nations in 1968 and they were a Stalinist dictatorship. Woogers 21:39, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

I choosed 1968 just as a random year, no special reasons were given. It's not necessary for Lxungion to have joined in 1968, you can choose any year you want from that year on. Sir Spart Sparklbox 02:00, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Corporations
Rather than allowing shadow corporations that can't really do much, why not nationalize the economy with a state-run and state-owned company with Tranh Chup-Yar at its head?Woogers 07:32, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Hello. Why do you say that the Embassy of Leubantia in Lxungion opened in 1982? Leubantia was Communist at the time. Are you assuming that Leubantia had a Capitalist government like Ivalice and Heigard? It didn't.  Tur bo  Golf  19:12, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

However, Leubantia is no longer Communist.  Tur bo  Golf  19:12, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Before 1982 Lxungion was Communist aswell.  Tur bo  Golf  19:21, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. I think the only thing about that is the year. I'll make it 1951, instead. Detectivekenny 19:44, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

AFTA map
Oh lawd, I forgot to start working on the map. Do you have a map of Yarphei handy?Woogers 00:45, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Excuse me for snooping, but I on charge of making the Yarphei map. I'll try to start drawing it tomorrow, but I have some things to do. Sir Spart Sparklbox 00:54, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Is this about right? I kinda roughed it. I'm not as good as Spart as these kinds of things. Woogers 01:37, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Crossposted None at all. I can't even think of a flag for the EAF. Totally stumped. Woogers 01:41, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Excellent idea, lol, these are great. I've picked one out for the fed. As for AFTA, how about ? Union of Two and all that. Woogers 20:50, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Immigration
Excuse me for not telling you about adding Lxungion to my page, I was going to, but forgot after a long day full of chores. I agree on making the Heigardian population in your country smaller; I choosed 50,000 based in the current quantity of people with French ancestry in the regions nearby. Let's place the quantity at 20,000. Is that acceptable? Sir Spart Sparklbox 02:04, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yarphei map
Thousand apologies, but I've not started your map. I'm having trouble finding SVG maps of the region, but I think I got one that will do the job. I'll try to make it between today and tomorrow. Sir Spart Sparklbox 03:27, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Here is it:



I battled for hours with dozens and dozens of files, but finally I got it. Hope you like it. Sir Spart Sparklbox 03:03, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Check it now and tell me. I don't know what happened with me, I think I ignored the border in the map and followed an adjacent river. Sir Spart Sparklbox 04:40, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I'm delayed with your request (and also others'), but this has been a really busy week at school. I'll try to calculate the area of Yarphei, but you want it with or without the adjacent islands? Sir Spart Sparklbox 01:19, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. Mark in a map which islands do you want for Yarphei. Sir Spart Sparklbox 03:35, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

P.S.: Did you like your new flag?

I'm sorry but I won't be able to calculate the area in a some days. I had to reinstall my computer and take down Photoshop, but I'll try to get it back to work before next weekend. As soon as it's functional I'll complete your request. Sir Spart Sparklbox 23:38, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Why do you put tidles above all the names of things in Lxungion? And also, how does one pronounce Lxungion (I don't want IPA!)  Tur bo  Golf  20:57, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I would be honored. What course of development should be embarked on? Also, I'm not so good with languages, so anything in Yarphese would be difficult. Woogers 04:27, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Lol, Warmongering rules. What's the motive for the invasions, and where specifically in Europe will the war extend to? I hope you're not going to roll up the Thames with Personnel Transports. Woogers 21:23, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Slightly off topic, does AFTA cover arms sales? And I expect that the Western Powers, despite America being heavily fragmented will dish huge amounts of backlash after all the dust settles. Woogers 21:49, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Excellent, this should boost HMI's bottom line a good bit. Are you gonna enact conscription? Woogers 22:35, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

There's no way I can kill three million people in one war. I don't think even Bush himself could kill three million soldiers. Woogers 22:45, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Shh, lol, that's only indirect participation on the Yarphese side. The Federation was built on pacifist ideals, I can't go around participating in World War III, heh. But know that the factories will keep rolling, and your troops will stay fed and supplied. Woogers 04:14, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Wartime Proceedings
The Cai-Doi is under siege, and Yarphese materials are vital to the Federation economy. Plus, I can't ship in aid. Should I start flying in and out? Woogers 20:35, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Alrighty. Woogers 23:53, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well. Yarphei is at current ineligible for entry to the Planetary Alliance For Freedom, and I think I'll be passing on it, so it looks like we'll have to rush the CEAS. Woogers (lol what hax) 18:58, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

I mean you can throw CEAS into the war, but I don't have an army or a navy to aid in war efforts. I can fly stuff and launch stuff, that's about it. Woogers (lol what hax) 05:34, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

As always. The Federation constitution is based on the Japanese constitution, and you know, after being nuked in the last World War, they renounced violence and war in general. I kinda bent the rules on the Air Force, but that's only because of my desire to take advantage of Future World's settings to have advanced aircraft. Woogers (lol what hax) 20:22, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

On like Monday-ish, I plan on having Taiwan have a special election to join the EAF where I'll have the northern half of the island's counties approve the measure. I expect the PRC would not allow such a thing, and will orchestrate a conflict soon afterwards, which will be a test of the CEAS's stability. What can I expect from Yarphei? And on another note, how's the Cantonese Republic looking? Woogers (lol what hax) 23:10, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

I think United Planets has confused the EAF for the CEAS, so now he's threatening us over the CEAS's defense of the weather control program. Of course, I like rattling sabers, so I don't have too much of a problem with it. Woogers (lol what hax) 03:45, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

I didnt threaten the Federation, I gave an example of a weather/geological related disaster attack against the entire east Asian coastline (which includes China, EAF, Yarphei and the Philippines, who are all members of the CEAS to compare to Yarphei's weather control system and its ability to eradicate the east coast of North America.

Awesome! Sorta unrelated, but about where would you put the population figures? Food isn't a worry with Yarphese vertical agriculture, and water could be provided via artificial rain. Detectivekenny 04:35, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

I s'pose you could make a table next to the legend with city rankings, but I would keep that off the map in good practice. Woogers (lol what hax) 05:15, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Whatchu mean the boxes? I think that's a technological limitation on the part of Wikia. They came out fine locally. And I still dunno whatchu mean about population. Woogers (lol what hax) 03:18, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Teur Density
Depends on the style of your cities. Conceptual self-sufficient communities, Arcologies, can support huge amounts of people in little terms of actual ground space, and are usually designed to be fully-contained ecosystems. If you build cities full of those, you can easily fit millions, depending on how high they are. Of course, the New American Trio will get quite angry at such massive development on such small islands, but this is Future World.

On the other hand, with traditional modern architecture, with a limit of upwards of the Petronas Twin Towers, I'd say a top of about 2 million per city. Woogers (lol what hax) 03:30, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Leubantian language
Hey DK, maybe it's not my concern but I would like to suggest some little things for your project of remaking the Leubantian language. It can be relationed with the East Scandinavian branch of German languages, and even have some relations with Low German. It should have loanwords from Western Slavic and Baltic languages. With the use of diacritics, you could use diaeresis to indicate a change of sound in a vowel and maybe acute accents to indicate where the tonic syllabe is located. You are the architect, so you're in charge of this building.

I have some basic knowledge of German, so if you want I can give some support. Sir Spart Sparklbox 00:15, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I will get it as far as I got Derhish (basically grammar and spelling), and then tomorrow I will undertake editing all the articles. My idea was mostly the same sounds as Danish, but with mostly Polish spellings. As far as spelling and pronunciation, is that realistic? —detectivekenny; reply; signed 00:29, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, due to Leubantia's location it's a plausible combination, but I guess Tharnton would rather like a Germanic structure. Your idea seems pretty good, but I consider Danish pronunciation is quite complex. Sir Spart Sparklbox 00:35, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Well, my idea was to put Danish sounds into a pool and take them out using the Polish pronunciation, leaving Danish spelling out of this. —detectivekenny; reply; signed 00:38, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Once you get the language down, then there's another issue: the names of famous Leubantians (at least the ones that have legitimate bios). Shouldn't those also be changed as well? (Personally, I think his Prime Minsters are way too young and should also have their birth dates changed, but that's a subject for another time.) Genius In the Lamp 00:51, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. I will definitely go through and change all the names whether Tharnton likes it or not. —detectivekenny; reply; signed 01:02, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I was comparing the Polish phonology with the Norwegian/Swedish equivalent, and I found N/S more "confortable" to use regarding consonants, but Polish was easier to use with vowels. You may check here and wikipedia:Wikipedia:IPA for Swedish and Norwegian. Sir Spart Sparklbox 02:04, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Given Sweden's conquests up to the Middle Ages, Swedish would be a logical language to work from. And regarding my earlier message: You take care of the names, and I'll take care of the dates. Genius In the Lamp 02:49, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I prepared a test IPA chart for Leubantian, based on Swedish phonology and grabbing (and adapting) some words from both Swedish and Polish. Take a look:

Tell me what should I change, or what suggestions do you have. Sir Spart Sparklbox 01:02, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Lulz I worked on it during school today and here's what I came up with:

letters: Vowels: a [a], e [ɛ], eu, i, y, a, o, u. All same as Tharnton's Leubantian except eu is [ø] and y is [y].

Consonants: b, c [ts], d, f, g, h, j, k, l, ł [w], m, n, ń [ŋ], p, r, s, ś [ʃ], t, w [v]. All same as IPA unless specified. I tried to be faithful to Polish, assuming that, like Hungarian, the language was not Slavic but got Slavic spellings. How do you like it this way? It is, of course, too streamlined to be realistic, so I will add in some quirks from German and Baltic languages, but as a start is this okay? —detectivekenny; reply; signed 01:13, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

I agree very much with your idea; I leaned more into Swedish influence. As we used an almost identical IPA, maybe you could use mine, but adapt it with Slavic-like spelling. Sir Spart Sparklbox 01:36, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. But where did the [x] come from? —detectivekenny; reply; signed 01:40, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Part of Polish phonology, but in a German-ish way. Sir Spart Sparklbox 01:43, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

P.D.: You may use my examples as actual words, if you wish. Just morph them into the new spelling.

Is Ögg seriously "egg"? —detectivekenny; reply; signed 01:46, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

I based it on Swedish "ägg". It was first ög, but then I came up with the idea of doubling consonants "g, d, f, k" if they were at the end of a single syllabe word. Sir Spart Sparklbox 01:50, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

No, I just though it funny that the old Leubantian used the same word for "egg." —detectivekenny; reply; signed 04:36, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

No. I don't want you messing with my language. I want it the way it was.  Tur bo  Golf  08:26, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but it's impossible. It doesn't meet the requirements to be a language realistic enough. Sir Spart Sparklbox 09:05, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that it's impossible without a real linguistic root (Germanic, Slavic, Romance, Indo-European). In its current form, Leubantian looks like a mock language used in Mission: Impossible (gee, I wonder if the word gäz is used in the language). Genius In the Lamp 03:54, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

I suggest changing current ü's into eu. Is that fine? Sir Spart Sparklbox 00:51, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

What ü's? And also, eu is supposed to be ø, like French. —detectivekenny; reply; signed 00:52, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Like in old "Kürtîr". I know how ø sounds, I'm taking a French course, and it kinda sounds like a mix between O and E. Sir Spart Sparklbox 00:54, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

What I do is look to see what English name Tharnton got it from, then check its historical correctness. Kürtîr is probably Carter, a British name which would not likely be a name in Leubantia before the 1800s-ish. So if it's a recent name (1800s or later) I would make it into Karter. But if it were earlier, I would change it entirely. But mostly for simplicity, I often just change it to Kurtir if I can't tell the derivation. The places I use eu and y are for "a" as in "apple" in Danish and y when it sounds good in place of i. <small style="color:#AFAF80">—detectivekenny; reply; signed 00:59, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. Some names like "Lîwäs" should I put them like Lewis or Ludwik (as they are derived from Louis). Sir Spart Sparklbox 01:03, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Try to keep uniformity if you can with my edits; I already used Ludwy or Leudwy (g is silent after i in Danish), I think, you should check, though. <small style="color:#AFAF80">—detectivekenny; reply; signed 01:07, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
