  Constructed world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rendered conworld, as would be seen from space by an observer.
A constructed world (or conworld or sub-creation) is a fictional world, often created for a novel, video game, or role-playing game, but sometimes for personal enjoyment or its own sake (see geofiction).
Worlds are often developed only to the extent needed to complete a single work or series, but there may be considerable detail in a world designed for its own sake.

 Conworld/Philosophy - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Some people willingly and deliberately inject ideas from the real world into their conworld, using their conworld as a kind of test bed for political and philosophical theory (what if an anarchist society existed in ancient times or subjective idealism had practical implications for techology?).
Their political beliefs are reflected in their conworlds; all of their citizens are happy, productive, prosperous members of what they think would be a perfect society.
These people have conworlds filled with slavery, poverty, lawlessness, and war; their conlangs are quirky, if not downright unpleasant; their conreligions initiate bloody conquests and massacres.

 Conworld - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Thus, conworlding stands for world constructing, and is the art of creating entire fantasy worlds out of your fertile imagination.
The ideal conworld is one with depth, consistency, and beauty, which is why Tolkien's Middle-earth is often held as the best example of a conworld that there is. But conworlds are usually as beautiful as they are difficult to make.
Conworlding is a many-faceted process, and can be divided into a large number of sub-fields, each of them with its own enthusiasts.

 Post Comment
Tolkien once said that he created the whole of Middle-Earth simply for there to be a place where characters could greet each other with Elen síla lumenn' omentielvo.
Do you do a Tolkien and create a conuniverse, or is the conlang auxiliary to the conworld?
Personally, I started with the phonology, sounds that were attractive to me. The only thing that's ever changed about this is the translation, and allophones I added.
