'''First Ascendancy (June 2017 - December 2017)'''
Cortesia grew and richened on RebirthCraft at a steady rate, but in (northern hemisphere) summer 2017 this rate increased with the recruitment of adept grinders Ragsmel and
'''The Clique (August 2017 - April 2018)'''
Ragsmel and Zhuge's clique of friends' flooding of the government - first the Cabinet, and soon after the Executive Committee - granted the foreign group extreme sway over Cortesia's vulnerable republican structure, as they were able to organize outside of Cortesian channels and vote as a unit. The first notable exercise of this power was in the kangaroo court trial and subsequent exile of former clique member TheMadShadowLord over a
'''Independence Day''' '''(April 1, 2018)'''
In February 2018, RebirthCraft was sold by its inactive owner Gold to two failures named Packet and Thugcrew for college money, which led to the server's almost immediate demise. The ensuing First Interim Period (serverless period) lost Cortesia most of its ~60 members, and amplified all tensions within the remaining government. Following a crescendo on March 3, 2018 when yodabird19 was unjustly banned (for criticizing a typo) from the Clique's favored server, ArcticWorlds, to no effect on the Clique's desire to move there, IceCarim, yodabird19, Brick_WallGaming, and a few other members plotted and staged a separation from the decaying old Cortesia (renamed "Stanton City" as President IceCarim's final act), executed on April 1, 2018, to the tune of hundreds of @everyone pings. The Executive Committee was renamed to the Secretariat, and yodabird19 was made Vice President.

'''The Second Interim Period (September 15, 2019 - January 27, 2020)'''
Unlike the previous interim period, Cortesia was very active and very antsy to find another server on which to play throughout the four-month interregnum that followed departure from its previous server.
'''Atlas (January 27, 2020 - October 5th, 2020)'''
Cortesia's time on Atlas consisted of so little development that it can be summarized in a single point. The nation was never properly active on the server for more than a week at a time, and though it built a couple of lackluster towns (each providing a small boost to the nation's activity when first created), recruited some members that never stayed, and started a number of community projects (especially a rail project and a history project) that diverted any genuine dedication to the server actually in the nation away from it, Cortesia was constantly struggling on Atlas to find anything to do. yodabird19 was perhaps the only member largely unfazed, but even his accomplishments - enriching the nation through constant grinding, establishing the unstable-and-shortly-doomed Dawn Alliance, and connecting parts of the server with rail lines - amounted to very little when Atlas's cracks began to widen. The server was approximately as old as Cortesia, and its faults - most of which revolved around a poor design philosophy and an incompetent (perhaps malicious) administration - ran just as deep. Though yodabird19 began tacitly server-searching from June 2020 (indicating his realization of Atlas's long-term unviability), it took until September 2020, with former enemy alliance E's declaration of [https://www.atherantimes.com/post/live-updates-e-declares-war-on-kongeda the Consolidation War] against the staff-pet Kongeda alliance, for Cortesia to realize how detrimental the server's administration and the server's
'''The Third Interim Period (October 5th, 2020 - January 2nd, 2021)'''
Before Cortesia could finally make its way to CivClassic, it would first need to parade through Atlas's multitude of [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/561592328243118086/795162456300716032/Server_Relations6.jpg related servers], finding each an unsuitable home. Espero and Loka were the most notable, as Cortesia (or at least, one or more Cortesians) was invested in both, but the former was proven uninhabitable due to an incident with staff authoritarianism, and the latter was turned from following an extraordinary and lengthy debate between yodabird19 and IceCarim over the two server options at the time (Loka and CivClassic)<ref>If the text of this debate is publicized, link it here.</ref>.
