Cortosiso (Nation)

The Nation Of Cortosiso is a semi-futuristic medium-sized island in the North-east of The Global Map. It is lead by (theBOOMarang).

Their Commander, named Arkahn Lybaras, is a diplomat, but tries to stay neutral in conflicts.

Technology
Cortosiso technology is advanced, with a large focus on production technology and the usage of an alloy called Orag. Orag is almost as strong as steel, half its weight, and an extremely good heat conductor. It appears coppery, and is easy to mine and shape. Most weapon systems of the Cortosiso use Orag projectiles, which are heated to an extreme degree before shot out. The Bio-Suits that all Cortosisans wear is made of Orag, Bronze, and Steel.

Another important aspect of Cortosiso society is that they refuse to use flight. This means that they have no air force at all.

Geography/Population
The Cortosiso Island has a taiga climate, with snowy winters and warmer summers. north parts of the island are colder. It has a population of about 1,500,000, most of which live in its three cities, the capital being Aol.

Aol is in the warmest part of the island, allowing it to support a large population. Char is used mainly as an industrial center, producing most of the Nation's military. Brav is a large military base, but also contains a civilian city.

Military
The Cortosiso military is unusual because it completely lacks an air force. This is because the Cortosiso refuse to use flight. However, this does mean they have a better Navy and Army because more focus can be put on them. The lack of an Air force is still a large disadvantage, though.

The Navy uses a unique ship class, called the Blastship. Blastships (notably the Arc Class Blastship) form the middle of a fleet, having the best firepower of all. They fire extensive blasts into enemy ships, breaking apart even the best of armor. However, they are very slow and have little armor, so they are easy to take down if they don't have support.

Destroyers, (small fast ships with good firepower) screen Blastships from planes and smaller ships, while Battle Cruisers (heavily armored ships used to take on enemies directly) engage larger ships, allowing the Blastships to fire away unhindered. With a few other ships classes (Frigates [Medium sized armored ships], Corvettes [Very small, very fast]), the Cortosiso Navy is very effective. Armored and stealthy submarines also are used, but rarely, as they have a tendency to fall apart.

The Army uses tanks with magnetized treads, like the Sabite Tank, a fast, heavy-hitting tank with two guns. Shells of most tanks are heated to a large degree (using Orag), so they can go through armor easily. However, the heating process means that it takes a tank longer to fire. Recon Vehicles are usually faster, lighter, and much less armored than tanks.

Infantry is usually lightly armored and uses three weapons, an orag blade that heats up to a large degree, allowing it to cut through metal and flesh like a hot sword through butter. For ranged combat Rifles that used heated Orag projectiles are used. They pierce through armor, but the heating process means that MGs are impossible. Grenades that send out an EMP are used against high tech enemies.

A special Legion within the army is called the Promethean. Prometheans outfit all their vehicles and ships with Flame-throwing weaponry, as well as having bulky infantry units with flame cannons. They are often used as support for large raids and offensives.

The Commander, Arkahn, is skilled with weapons development and brings the latest tech onto the battlefield with him.
