A Message from our President


Greetings,

The Republic of Coorsota welcomes you to this informative page on our country. The Coorsotan Republic was established in 1976, however, due to our previous doctrine of isolation and our isolated location in the world, we have had little foreign relations. Today, however, on our 31st year of independence, we are looking to expand our diplomatic reach beyond our nearest neighbors. We look forward to any communications we can open between our respective nations. Thank you for your time.
