Cortolowe (pronounced court-oh-low) is a planet that is often referred to as "Earths little brother". It is 6023.40 kilometers in diameter, roughly half the size of Earth. The planet contains an almost equal amount of land and water, with almost all of the surface ground linked together, with the exception of a few islands. Because of this, and due to the planets size, in todays modern society the planet is heavily united as a whole. The surface is divided into regions and states rather than individual countries, which has resulted in Corolowe boasting a strong government, but one with its controversy.
