The Stato da Màr, or Domini da Mar, meaning State of the Sea or Domains of the Sea, was the maritime and overseas empire controlled by the Republic of Venice from around the year 1000 until 1797. At various points it included parts of present-day Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece, notably Istria, Dalmatia, the Ionian Islands, the Peloponnese, Crete, the Cyclades, Euboea and Cyprus. It formed one of the three subdivisions of Venices possessions, alongside the Dogado, meaning Venice proper, and the Domini di Terraferma in northern Italy, and its overseas territories, particularly islands such as Corfu, Crete and Cyprus, were central to Venices commercial and military power; the historian Fernand Braudel described these islands as Venices motionless fleet.
