Costa Madora (Madorian: Republika Kosta Madora), formally Republic of Costa Madora, is an island nation located west of Krosari in Ferlanic Ocean. It borders Geuvaria to the north, and controls the Bellefait and Canbuttu Isles. As of 2020, Costa Madora has an estimated population of 9.3 million. The capital and largest city is Vitorife, other major cities are Lincamento and San Monica. Costa Madora’s official language is Madorian.

Costa Madora has been ranked favourably in human rights, political freedom, civil liberties, press and internet freedom. Costa Madora is one of the founding nations of the Krosarian Union, member of NFTO, Belaire Agreement, founder of NOCI, and part of the North Ferlanic Banks union.

Since prehistoric times, the territory of the Republic of Costa Madora has been inhabited by various tribes, who emerged in history as the Alosakian Confederation. Following this period, the confederation was threatened by the rapidly growing Barborican Empire, who colonized southeast Costa Madora. During the Barborican-Alosakian War, Barborico annexed the Alosakian Confederation. In 1318, the independent Kingdom of Costa Madora was established, later expanding under Catherine I as the Madorian Empire. In 1844, the November Revolution overthrew the Crown, leading to the short-lived Republic of Costa Madora. Under Catherine II, the Kingdom of Costa Madora was restored, later replaced by the current Republic of Costa Madora. Since then, Costa Madora has maintained the policy of neutrality, albeit the nation has participated in the Esta Maustanian wars against crime.
