==History==
Since the states that make up the modern nation of [[Burgundie]] were settled and dominated by [[Latinic people]]s there has been a connection between [[Burgundie]] [[Caphiria]]. While that bond has often followed the general trends of the [[Levanto-Sarpic Relations]], [[Burgundie]] and [[Caphiria]] have not suffered the same level of peer-to-peer rivalry that [[Caphiria]] had with [[Urcea]]. As such, the vitriol and animosity wasn't as entrenched in either's nation's culture, despite [[Burgundie]] often acting in concert with [[Urcea]] against [[Caphiria]]n interests. [[Caphiria]] has often seen [[Burgundie]]'s position of one of necessity and convenience rather than one of hatred for the [[Caphiria]]n way of life. 

For its part, [[Burgundie]] has historically sided with the southern [[Levantia|Levantine]] powerhouse [[Urcea]] in global politics. However, [[Burgundie]] is the first to extend the olive branch in the name of open commerce and global stabilization to [[Caphiria]]. [[Burgundie]] currently maintains good relations with [[Caphiria]] and is sometimes used as an intermediary between the three superpowers of [[Caphiria]], [[Kiravia]], and [[Urcea]] when tension is on the verge of breaking out into violence, or when tensions are coming down and a de-escalation is sought. However, [[Burgundie]] is attached at the hip to [[Urcea]] through history, culture, and institutions like the [[Levantine Union]] and [[Caphiria]] see [[Burgundie]] through that lens.

So it has always been the case that [[Burgundie]] and [[Caphiria]] have been on good trading terms except in the specific points of history when they were in direct 
(state-to-state) conflict with each other. Through this consistent interface [[Burgundie]] and [[Caphiria]] have come to a mutual respect. From the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] perspective, [[Caphiria]] has maintained varying levels of hegemony in [[Sarpedon]], even if in a {{wpl|Tellurocracy|tellurocratic}} fashion, and has maintained consistently wealthy markets for over 1000 years almost without fail. Both nations were among the most engaged in the rise and proliferation of {{wpl|capitalism}} in the [[Occidental world]] and as such they share common goals even when their interests are in conflict. Both nations have a globalist upper class who treat both countries as if they were one and the same and common industries have sprung up to support these elites. This has also led to many companies having market share in both countries and as such the conspicuous consumption of their middle classes have brought the countries closer together as well. 

[[Caphiria]] sees [[Burgundie]] as the scrappy and resourceful country in [[Urcea]]'s shadow. While the precepts of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] have generally kept southern [[Levantia]] more traditionalist and retroreflective, [[Caphiria]] values that [[Burgundie]] has always been a bit of an outlier, embracing globalization, innovation, and perspectives from outside of [[Levantia]].
