'''August I''' was the [[Great Prince of Burgundie]] from [[1904]]–[[1975]], ruling the country during the [[Great War|Interwar period]], [[Second Great War]], [[Operation Kipling]] and [[Occidental Cold War]]. He was a polarizing figure, as he represented the last of the old guard which was much loved by [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] conservatives, but he was very derided as holding the country back from full embracing the promise of the 20th century but liberals and progressives. He was an ardent orientalist and was responsible not only for the level of involvement that both [[Burgundie]] and [[Urcea]] had in [[Audonia]] in [[Operation Kipling]], but also for opening up diplomatic and economic relations between [[Burgundie]] and [[Daxia]].
