Corset

Not to be confused with Cosset.
Corset (pronounced /kɔːrsɛt/; Bulgarian: Корсета, tr. Korseta) is a city in Intonia, located in the Arsovagrad region. The city has a population of just over 5.06 million people as of 2022, making it the second-largest city in Intonia by population, just behind Sofytova. Situated strategically along the western coastline, the city has been a major economic, social and cultural centre for almost three millennia. Historically known in Chyatak as Cǎüsigte, Corset developed from a Chyatak seaside settlement to a major seaport.
The city is important historically as the birthplace of Xedcǎü, a Chyatak warrior who later led the Sacking of Covpetra. Corset soon became a strategic target during various wars between the Chyataks and the Slavs. The city was majority controlled by Floresca between 1430 and 1994. With help from Weast and 0sburg, the city later fell into Intonian hands during the Florescan War.
Corset is an important centre for business, transportation, education, tourism, entertainment and healthcare. The city is referred to as the maritime capital of Intonia and has the headquarters of the Intonian Navy, coastguard, and merchant marine. In 2017, Corset was awarded the title of Allangrian Youth Capital.
== Etymology ==
Corset's name is an Anglicisation of the city's Bulgarian name, Корсета (Korseta). The name evolved from Каусита (Kausita), which draws back to the city's Chyatak name, Cǎüsigte. The name Cǎüsigte means "port town (sigte) of Cǎüǎ". Cǎüǎ is the name of a zlozyǔv who reigned from 950 CE to 981 CE.
