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

Cortesia Del Mar is a member of the [[Ilios Alliance]], and maintains positive or neutral diplomatic relations with most nations on the server. Cortesia Del Mar is distinguished by having the largest industrial base on the server, which it uses primarily to bankroll a wide array of both its own and its allies' building and industrial projects.

==Cities==
===Cadia===
{{Main|Cadia}}
The City of '''Cadia''' is a [[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.
<br>Cadia is the closest city on the server to [[Spawn]], and as such serves as a frequent tourism and business destination for new players. The city offers 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]], led by the sitting Cortesian President. It is 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 guarantees admission to all residents and citizens of Cortesia Del Mar.
<br>Setra Maria is connected by both iceroad and item pipe to the [[Woolworths Production Complex]], and as such serves as the port for Cortesia's industrial activity.

===The Anthill===
{{Main|Anthill}}
The '''Anthill''' is a combination city and artistic project on the planet [[Aret]], led by [[Consue]]. It is a large, intricate mega-build mixing Arabian and cyberpunk build themes, which serves as an indefinite artistic project for its participants. The Anthill is wrapped around a central trade tower, which is built out of several thousand [[aluminum]] blocks.
<br>Admission to the Anthill project comes with complementary build tutoring by Consue.

==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.

==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.
<br>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.
