View source for Burgoignesc colonial empire

Throughout the {{wpl|Age of Discovery}} and the {{wpl|Age of Sail}} the coastal Duchies of Marialanus, Martilles, and Burgundie, of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], developed colonial empires of various sizes through trading companies. This was precipitated by the [[Great Confessional War#Expulsion of the Protestants|Expulsion of the Protestants]] from southern [[Levantia]] following their loss in the [[Great Confessional War]]. Many of those protestants were processed off-continent through [[Burgundie]] who turned them into a massive global exploration and {{wpl|settler colonialism|colonizing}} force, known as [[Pharisedom]]s.

There were also some [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] {{wpl|Colonia (Roman)|coloniae}} (e.g. [[Veraise]] and Islevenin) but it was not as common.

==Sociology==
The genesis of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Imperialism_and_Colonization|colonial culture]] was to seek out the kingdoms of the {{wpl|Biblical Magi}} and to unite "all the lands whose kings adored Christ". As such, at least at its genisis, what has been retrospectively termed a ''{{wpl|Mission civilisatrice}}'', was the search for co-equal kingdoms with which to join forces in [[Catholic Church|service of Christ]]. The thesis that Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar came from Christian kingdoms was flawed from the start and meant that the Papally ordained/funded explorations of the coastal [[Derian identity|Derians]] never found what they were looking for. It did however, lead to a self-righteous bent of Imperialism and settler colonization that spanned [[Audonia]] and [[Alshar]] in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. Exploration and colonization in northern [[Audonia]] was justified under the banner of searching for the kingdom of {{wpl|Balthazar (magus)|Balthazar}}, the same for southern [[Audonia]] in search of {{wpl|Melchior (magus)|Melchior}}, and same again in [[Alshar]] in search of the kingdom of {{wpl|Caspar (magus)|Gaspar}}. This earning for oriental connection remains to this day but has been informed by many other factors beyond this initial concept.

This is also retrospectively used to describe [[Burgundie]]'s general lack of interest in the colonization of [[Crona]].

==Tenents of Burgoignesc Colonial Rule==
===Early/Establishment Period Trends===
*[[1598]]-[[1635]]
*Emporia, minor ports and forts
*[[Kiravia]] has made first contact in lots of places so Burg is vying for local access, gets ahead because they re-empower local magistrates from the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] with whom they had trading contacts before the Caliphate collapsed.
*Burgs more open and accepting of foreign cultures and hierarchies as a way to curry favor
*The colonies are still reliant on the metropole for sustainability 
===Self Sufficiency Period Trends===
*[[1635]]-[[1693]]
*As the generation of ex-[[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] magistrates age out/die Burgs take more direct control of politics, land management, and resource extraction but its still very decentralized, mostly up to the patroons
*{{wpl|Patroon}}ships, {{wpl|Latifundia}}/{{wpl|Plantation}}s
*Slavery becomes the primary financial function of the colonies
*Massive influx of Levantine Protestants sees rabid expansion of the initial coastal colonies to accommodate promises of land grants
*Colonial militias are the primary defense for the colonies against other native peoples on the frontiers
===Dominance Period Trends===


*[[1693]]-[[1785]]
*Trading companies take more direct control and organize colonial administrations, later presidencies that are much more efficient
*Due to the influx of Protestants and slavery some colonies become majority Bergendii
*Colonial militias take a back seat to large majority native regiments under the direct control of the trade companies who take on entire nations of peoples and drastically expand the colonies

===Late Period/Colonial Loss Trends===
*[[1785]]-[[1848]]
*Trade companies get rich and corrupt more focused on prestige then efficient colonial administration
*Colonies are unmanageably large and corrupt administrators refuse to break them up into more manageable and efficient sizes
*High taxes and tarriffs on occidental settlers make colonial administration unpopular with its core
*Native military units mutinying as traditions and customs are crossed by uncaring and out of touch colonial military leaders
*Great Rebellion of Slavery Bay spreads across many core colonies and starts a mass exodus of settlers that exacerbates all of the afformenttioned issues and creates an unprecedented refugee crisis
*Poor leadership both in the colonies and the Metropole leads to the defeat of most all of the mainlamd settler colonies leaving only some scattered islands
