This site is under construction
I have set up a general structure for the site. A number of pages have content, but some menu links do not refer to any pages yet. Check on the Updates page for the latest content additions. For the general project progress I've made an Origins page.
The world of Cancon
The world of Cancon is still in development. At the moment I have drawn and created only is perhaps one third of the world. If or when I will draw more parts depends on my inspiration and creativity. What I already have created is already quite a lot, so I will probably focus on what I have created already and incorporate all of those in the website as that will already take up a fair amount of time.
In size Cancon is a bit smaller than Earth. It's diameter is over 11.300 kilometers in length. Cancon hardly has any inclination so it mostly stands straight on its orbit around the sun. The orbit however is quite elliptical and instead causes the different seasons, and thus also causing there to be colder and warmer seasons around the equator. Another peculiarity about Cancon is that for some 3500-4000 years the world is experiencing a long ice age. As I have set up the basic landstructure of the planet to be focused around the poles, it has made the situation thus that the icefields in the northern and southern half of the planet reach up until about 50 degrees North and South latitude. A small advantage this gives me is in drawing the map near the poles as obviously I am not taking the curvature of the planet into account in my drawings and I don't need to take any deformations into account. Thus no map of these parts will be drawn as they are mostly covered in ice fields. The position of the landstructure means that both poles are completely covered by land and the different continents are basically long extensions (subcontinents) which reach for the equator in a starshaped fashion. However, only one continent (my main continent, called Ebewar) reaches across the equator. The main body of water is thus to be found in the middle, between the two starshaped landmasses of the poles. There are a number of smaller and larger islands around the equator, some can be called small continents.
The website
The website is divided in a number of basic sections. These are Continents, Cartography and Encyclopedia. In Continents each continent is presented and, most of all, all the nations that are located on that continent. For each nation detailed info like politics, history, geography and a small map are shown. For more general information about the continent I will provide information in the two other sections. Cartography contains all the large political, geographic and thematic maps of Cancon and the continents. In Encyclopedia I will put in all general information, divided over a number of topics, concerning Cancon. This as most topics are not limited to a single continent and there are many relationships which have to be considered. Obviously, I will start out small (and incomplete) and slowly expand it once I have thought up new things.
