Costiglione is a prominent city in The Armed Republic of Costa Bravo, with eight million inhabitants. It is situated at the mouth of Barbosa Bay, a long inlet which contains Costa Bravo's captial city, Tortuga. Costiglione is one of the country's largest port-cities (sixth, behind Tortuga, Pontarlier, Chauvigny, Tournay, and Clermont, respectively). It is considered to be the sister city to Clermont, which is located directly across the bay and is of similar size. The famous Costiclermont Bridge connects the two cities.

Points of Interest

Clermont is a popular tourist attraction, not only for its characterstic sea cuisine, but for the towering Costiclermont Bridge that spans farther than any bridge ever constructed by man. The Costiclermont Bridge was based upon the design of the Akashi-Kaikyo Bride in Japan, which spans some 3900 meters, making it the largest bridge in the world, prior to the construction of the Costiclermont.

Designed by esteemed Costa Bravan architect Fred Llewelyn Goché, the Costiclermont project was instantiated in 1979, and finished in 1985, due to delays resulting from the lack of consistent funding by the government. The then-Regent Jacques Pierot was dismayed with the government's handling of the Costiclermont's construction, so he allocated an unlimited amount of resources and funds to Goché and his team in 1984. It was promptly finished thereafter.

The Costiclermont Bridge has a total length of 6405 meters, double that of the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge. It is a suspension bridge.
