The Republic of '''Cortesia Del Mar''', or '''CDM''', was a large nation on [[Horizon's End]]. Cortesia Del Mar was a nation focused on building, industrialism, democracy, and technological expertise. Its sitting president was [[oko]], whose political goals center on renewed national recruitment initiatives, increased investment in supercapitals, and building a structured national finance and loan system. Cortesia possessed three major cities with active populations: its capital of [[Setra Maria]], its sole trade city of [[Cadia]].

Cortesia Del Mar was an ally of [[Orovika]], and maintained positive or neutral diplomatic relations with most nations on the server. Cortesia Del Mar was distinguished by having the largest industrial base on the server, which it used primarily to bankroll a wide array of both its own and its allies' building and industrial projects.

== History ==

=== Orovikan Period ===
Also known as the Period of Porogation, the Orovikan Period, was a time of low activity and slow establishment. In order to truly establish itself, Cortesia joined the nation of [[Orovika]] for security and resources. Orovika would lend ships and material to the fledgling settlement.

On February 5th, the [[Horizon Federation]] would dissolve, ending Cortesia's involvement with the alliance.

Cortesia would declare independence soon after the first segment of Setra Maria was printed. As the February election approached, Yodabird19 and CommradePotatoe would launch the only campaign, automatically becoming the next administration.

=== Yodabird19 Presidency ===
As the first active Cabinet came into office, Cortesia would undergo a national revitalization.

The National Forum would undertake a process of updating and creating legislation, spearheaded by then Vice President [[CommradePotatoe]]. This would culminate in the passage of the third constitutional amendment, which sought to modernize the constitution in line with the realities of Horzion's End.

One of the main goals of this administration was the construction and completion of the Woolworths Production Complex.

==Cities==
===Cadia===
{{Main|Cadia}}
The City of '''Cadia''' is a largely inactive [[Trade City]] on the planet [[Ilius]], led by [[Vortexion]]. It is a large city, with the distinctive feature that the entire city is situated on a series of floating platforms, positioned above Lake Peigneur. These platforms include a large, central trade platform (which hosts the city's importer, exporter, and bazaar), three residential platforms, three shipyard platforms, and several assorted others.
 Cadia is the closest city on the server to [[Spawn]], and as such served as a frequent tourism and business destination for new players. The city offered free housing at the residential platforms, including to non-residents.

===Setra Maria===
{{Main|Setra Maria}}
The City of '''Setra Maria''' is a city on the planet [[Chimgara]], and was led by the sitting Cortesian President. It was the legal capital of Cortesia Del Mar, with a distinctive dense urban building style. Its distinctive structures include the National Forum building, the Interior Ministry building, the server's oldest hockey rink, and the Setra Maria homeless encampment. Pursuant to its status as the capital, Setra Maria guaranteed admission to all residents and citizens of Cortesia Del Mar.
 Setra Maria is connected by both iceroad and item pipe to the [[Woolworths Production Complex]], and as such served as the port for Cortesia's industrial activity.

==Additional Settlements==
===Woolworths===
{{Main|Woolworths Production Complex}}
'''Woolworths''' is a land claim housing the '''Woolworths Production Complex''', which is the server's largest industrial complex. It sits roughly one kilometer east of Setra Maria, and is connected to it by iceroad. The Woolworths Production Complex itself is off-limits to non-allies of Cortesia Del Mar, or those who have not been specifically granted access.

===Asteria===
{{Main|Asteria}}
'''Asteria''' is an under construction minor settlement. Not much information about it or construction plans is publicly available.

[[Astralchroma]] has alluded to intent to build a large underground complex largely inspired by the [[wikipedia:Black_Mesa_Research_Facility|Black Mesa Research Facility]] featured in [[wikipedia:Half-Life_(video_game)|Half Life 1]] and [[wikipedia:Black_Mesa_(video_game)|Black Mesa]].

==Stations==
===Elysium===
'''Elysium''' is a small space station in northwestern [[Regulus]], owned by the settlement Cadia and built by [[Vortexion]]. It is the server's oldest space station, and during the server's first months served as an important base of operations for the nation of [[Arimfea]]. As of the present, Elysium is disused, and is preserved by Cadia as an historical site.

===Fortitude===
'''Fortitude''' is a medium space station in northern [[Regulus]], owned by the settlement Cadia and built by [[Vortexion]]. Its structure consists of two protruding docking arms to its east and west, affixed to a central living hub. Fortitude has a working redstone casino, a domed grassy park, and a large wall of player heads obtained in [[Arimfea]]'s wars.
 Like Elysium, Fortitude was also formerly an [[Arimfean]] station, and served as a crucial center of activity for the nation until the [[Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War]]. It is still in use by Cortesia Del Mar.

===Seraph===
'''Seraph''' is a large space station in southern [[Sirius]], owned by the settlement Cadia and built by [[Vortexion]] and [[nungal]]. It is primarily an aesthetic build, with extensively decorated interiors spanning the full height of its mostly-vertical structure. Positioned inside of Seraph's main hall is the a captured [[Vega]]n gunship once used by [[ClownPierce]], whose death sparked the [[Alliance of Regulus-Vega War|Alliance of Regulus-Vega War]] of 2023.

===Presidia Alenarith===
'''Presidia Alenarith''' is a medium space station in southwestern [[Ilios]], owned by the nation and built by [[oko]] and [[yodabird19]]. While it was still in the final stages of construction, but never truly finished, Presidia Alenarith was designed to serve as a central hub for Cortesia Del Mar's [[supercapital]] activity and logistics, possessing large facilities for refueling ships with [[Hydrogen]], charging [[Barge]]s, providing [[Processed Resources|ammunition]] to [[Cruiser]]s and [[Battlecruisers]], smelting [[ores]], and efficiently [[Ship Factory|printing]] new ships.

===One===
'''One''' is a medium space station in western [[Ilios]], owned and built by [[ItsAlreadyGold]]. It is, as of now, a slap-dash construction of different station structures added to the large asteroid it is built into. Each addition was haphazardly added as needed by Gold: it has two long docks for parking ships, an industrial room to support asteroid mining expeditions, and an unfinished, but working, decomposer bay.

= Politics =
Cortesia Del Mar's system of government was distinguished by its depth and complexity. The nation, which titles itself "The Republic of Cortesia Del Mar", was governed by a presidential republican political system, the form of which is set out in the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_yiqmFaZzo_9oPV4LZ1wjFuFtlUkzSiN/view?usp=drive_link Constitution of Cortesia Del Mar], a legal document which was over 100 pages long.
