Costa Madora, officially the Republic of Costa Madora and the Alácean Isles (Esberian: República de Costa Madora y las Islas Aláceas), is an island country in Southwestern Keaceria. It covers an area of 526,853 km2 (203,419 sq mi) with a population of 63.4 million. The country's capital is Copanaco and the largest city and main financial hub is Reconrané.
Indigenous peoples have inhabited Costa Madora for thousands of years. First Keacerians landed in La Trinidras in 1634, and by the late 17th century, had colonized much of present-day Costa Madora, and established the New Kingdom of Guadarúa, with Santa Catarina de Copanaco as its capital. The colonial order came to an end in the early nineteenth century with the Madorian War of Independence.
Costa Madora is defined as a great power with a strong economy. It has the largest economy in Keaceria, as well as the fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP and the fifth-largest by PPP in Cunova. As a global power in industrial, scientific and technological sectors, it is both the world's third-largest exporter and importer. As a developed country, it offers social security, a universal health care system and a tuition-free university education. Costa Madora is a member of the Allied Nations, Keacerian Union, NATO, and G12.
Etymology
The name of Costa Madora derives from the phrase la costa emadora, meaning "emerald coast" in the Esberian language, which was in some accounts first applied by Esberian explorer Esteban Auciello, who sailed to the eastern shores of Costa Madora during his second voyage to North Eurisia, and reported vast quantities of emerald jewelry worn by natives. The name may also have originated during the expeditions of the conquistador Ante Rabago to the Yataipúa rainforest.
