Throughout the Age of Discovery and the 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 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 colonizing force, known as Pharisedoms.
There were also some Catholic coloniae (e.g. Veraise and Islevenin) but it was not as common.
Historiography
The genesis of Burgoignesc colonial culture was to seek out the kingdoms of the 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 Mission civilisatrice, was the search for co-equal kingdoms with which to join forces in 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 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 Balthazar, the same for southern Audonia in search of Melchior, and same again in Alshar in search of the kingdom of 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.
