In the year 2016, Argaea released it's first finished project in the form of an international time database. The project helped synchronize time across all the nations in a standardized format and help synchronize all calendars that use the Argaean format. The calendar format was announced to [[Burgundie]] as the first finished project, and is now accepted by many nations as an acceptable standardized time format. | In the year [[2016]], Argaea released it's first finished project in the form of an international time database.

The '''Argaea Global Seed Vault''' is a secure seed bank on Argaea. The technocracy’s directorate started the vault to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds that are duplicate samples, or "spare" copies, of seeds held in gene banks worldwide. The seed vault is an attempt to ensure against the loss of seeds in other genebanks during large-scale regional or global crises. The seed vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement between the [[Government of Burgundie]], the Argaean Technocracy, and [[League of Nations]]. | The '''Argaea Global Seed Vault''' is a secure seed bank on Argaea.

The [[Government of Burgundie]] entirely funded the vault's approximately $8.8 million construction. Storing seeds in the vault is free to end users, with [[Burgundie]] paying for the majority of the banks operational costs. | The [[Government of Burgundie]] entirely funded the vault's approximately $8.8 million construction.
