Kortys

Kortys was the prime city-state of ancient Sithonian civilization. Although a haven of intellectuals, the city-state got into a devastating war with its neighbor Siphnos, which led to all Sithonia being annexed by the Elabonian Empire. Kortys then became the capital of Sithonia as an Imperial province.

Literary comment
Kortys is based on Athens, although its victory in an analog of the Peloponnesian War violates that particular parallel.
