Alcairet, colloquially called ''Gassavelie Nouveau'' (New [[Kingdom of Gassavelia|Gassavelia]]), is a [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Government_of_Burgundie#Provincial_and_Colonial_Government|province]] of the [[BORA|Burgoignesc Overseas Representative Assembly]] in confluence of the [[Sea of Istroya]] and the [[Aab-e-Farus]], in the [[Barbary Straits]] in [[Audonia]]. It is considered part of [[La Garrote]] a chain of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc islands]] that historically allowed the [[Maritime Dericania]]n principalities to control the trade routes of western [[Audonia]]. Historically Alcairet was a part of the states that ruled the northern coast of [[Battganuur]]. It was conquered by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] in the 7th century AD. It remained under [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Oduniyyad]] control until the fall of that empire in [[1514]] when it was left to its own devices until the [[Truffle Races]] between the coastal states of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] ([[Burgundie]]) and [[Caphiria]] led to its annexation by [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company for the Aid of the Protestants Refugees]] in [[1577]]. It was administered as part of the [[Barbary Straits Colony]] from [[1577]]-[[1836]] when the mainland was lost, then given provincial status in [[1875]] when the unified nation of [[Burgundie]] was formed.

==Geography==
[[File:Alcairet Topo.PNG|250px|right]]
===Geology===
Alcairet is an island in the western mouth of the [[Barbary Straits]]. The islands are the remains of a land bridge that used to connect the southwestern and northern continental islands of [[Alshar]]. At the end of the last ice age when sea levels rose, the lowlands flooded and formed the [[Barbary Straits]].

===Climate===
[[File:Alcairet_Climate Map.png|250px|right]]
Alcairet's prevailing winds are the warm and moist trade winds blowing westerly from the [[Aab-e-Farus]]. The province has a tropical wet and dry climate in the east, and semi-arid in the west.

===Late modern period===
Fall of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]], massive influx of people fleeing the colonies, men retained to fight in defense of the islands, women and children sent to the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]], thereafter sent to [[Equatorial Osteicia]]. This military force known as ''La Vestige'' (Aeng: The Vestige) numbered on average 115,000 soldiers and 80,000 sailors between [[1805]] and [[1835]] but morale was low and desertion was high as the men wanted to leave with their families. ''La Vestige'' was successful in maintaining the islands for their respective states which eventually unified into [[Burgundie]], but the legacy of bondage damaged the view of many [[Burgoigniac]]s with Alcairet for the next 50 years.

==Politics and government==
Alcairet is part of the [[BORA|Burgoignesc Overseas Representative Assembly]]'s (BORA) [[Geography_of_Burgundie#Burgdonia|Burgoignesc Audonia]] geographic designation. [[BORA]] is a constituent country equivalent of [[Burgundie]] with its own assembly, prime minister, budget, and laws. [[Burgundie]]'s national governmental influence is limited to subsidies, education, and security, however, its financial and cultural institutes cast a long shadow across Alcairet.

Alcairet is a province within [[BORA|Burgoignesc Overseas Representative Assembly]] with its own semi-elected {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}}, representative legislative body, and court system.

Alcaireti are Burgoigniacs/Burgoignix with complete civil and economic rights, and citizenship (political rights) under the same federal service criteria as all residents of [[Burgundie]]. [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] is the official language but {{wpl|Arabic}} and [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] are both in use. However, there was a time during the 1960s and 1970s when children were forbidden to speak {{wpl|Arabic}} in schools. {{wpl|Arabic}} is now taught in schools; it is sometimes even a requirement for employment.

===Provincial executive===
The provincial executive is the {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}}. Three candidates are elected by a {{wpl|single transferable vote}} election held every 5 years, the three candidates are presented to the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Executive_Branch|Court of St. Alphador]] and the next {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}} is chosen from these candidates. If the citizenry rejects the selection, a run-off election is held with the remaining two candidates.

===Provincial legislature===
Like the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Legislative_Branch|Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg. La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional, ACAN)]], The Alcaireti Citizen's Court of the Provincial Assembly is a unicameral legislator. It makes provincial law, has the power of the provincial purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the provincial government. The Assembly has three seats for each province, one for the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s Alcairet liaison, 3 for the clergy, 3 seats reserved for municipal leaders, and 3 for a rota of private business leaders. On 6 occasions throughout the year 3 more seats are opened to the public to debate topics that are not on the annual legislative agenda.

===Employment===
Because Alcairet's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from biotech to traditional agriculture, opportunities abound for Alcairetis at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around 2.3% for the last decade. The islands' biotech and perfume manufacturing sectors offer stable opportunities for technicians, biologists, pharmacists, data scientists, and chemists. Traditional sectors like mining, fishing, and agriculture provide opportunities for unskilled or lesser educated individuals. The trade and transshipment hubs provide a stable middle ground for people with a moderate education and some skills, in logistics and customs fields, but future automation and trade patterns pose threats. [[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in [[Audonia]]. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since [[Burgundie]] strives for [[Total Economic Engagement]] and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Alcairet benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields.

The advent of [[Containerization]] in the 1960s and 70s and its intensive use during [[Operation Kipling]] made the Port of Genjareb one of the first and largest container ports in the world. The port was rebuilt from [[1966]]-[[1973]] to accommodate a container terminal. The container terminal expanded so rapidly that the adjoining naval base was eventually rebuilt on another part of the island to accommodate the port's rapid expansion. In the modern era the port is used primarily as a customs and transshipment hub for goods leaving [[Audonia]] for the [[Levantine Union]] market. [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Revenue Guard]], and [[Levantine Union|LU Douanes]] both have large inspection and {{wp|customs}} operations in Port of Genjareb. Since [[2013]] there has been a considerable investment by [[Burgundie]] and the [[Levantine Union]] to automate the port to reduce wait times and to prioritize the inspection process to expedite the transshipment process.
