Originally known as Conlang Wiki and powered by KWiki[1] (not to be confused with Kwiki), C&C Wiki was devoted to the topics of constructed languages and concultures. It subsequently moved to a new custom engine from Keith Gaughan.[2][3]
Conculture stands for 'constructed culture'. Constructed cultures are descriptions of cultures that do not exist in reality, but are the invention or creation of one or more persons.
Related to 'world building', concultures are usually more focused on the cultural relationships of the inhabitants of that world, than on the dynamics or plausibility of the world. These worlds and cultures are sometimes a backdrop for a history. This is the case of Middle Earth by JRR Tolkien. Sometimes they are built as the place 'fictional languages' or other 'art languages' are spoken. Sometimes they are just the next step after world building, or just an imaginary place some creative minds like to put their creations related to politics, religions, vexillology, languages, history, etc.
Ill Bethisad is an interesting collaborative effort for a conculture. Most other concultures discussed on the Conculture Mailing List are personal efforts.
