'''Antilles''' is an overseas possession of the [[Burgundie]], located off the northern coast of [[Audonia]]. It was previously owned by [[Urcea]]. As of 2010, the population of the island was slightly less than 800,000, representing a major growth since 2000, in large part due to being a major waystation between Urcea and its possessions in Crona, namely [[New Harren]]. Much of the economy of Antilles is devoted to oceangoing activities, and besides its well known position as a Urcean military base, it is a popular destination for [[Levantia|Levantine]] cruise lines. Fishing is also a large industry in Antilles. In 2014, it was exchanged with [[Burgundie]] for the island of [[Medimeria]]. | '''Antilles''' is an overseas possession of the [[Burgundie]], located off the northern coast of [[Audonia]].

As a consequence of the [[Kingdom of Gassavelia]]'s destruction and partition during the [[Great Confessional War]], ownership of Antilles passed to the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], Gassavelia's sole overseas possession. Urceopolis largely consented to self-rule as part of a lack of interest during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, but growing [[Occidental world|Occidental]] interests in Audonia and beyond lead to Urcean trade interests taking root on the island. | As a consequence of the [[Kingdom of Gassavelia]]'s destruction and partition during the [[Great Confessional War]], ownership of Antilles passed to the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], Gassavelia's sole overseas possession.

Antilles was an island of significant strategic importance during the [[Second Great War]], as control of the island allowed for Levantine access into the [[Gulf of Kandara]]. Urcea's naval base on the island, at Fort St. James, housed the Far Eastern Squadron, led during the early war by the two [[List_of_Urcean_battleship_classes#Restoration-class_battleship|''Restoration''-class battleships]]. The island's strong connection to [[Burgundie]] began during the war, as it became a large staging area for [[Burgundie]]'s forces, building a connection between the Burgoignesc and the local population. Antilles also became the site of basing for the [[Royal Air Service]], strengthening the Antilles-Burgundie connection during the period. Some Burgoignesc servicemen decided to settle down and marry into the local communities. A handful of second-generation Burgoignesc and a large number of Burgoignesc-descendants were still on Antilles by the time [[Burgundie]] took control of the island. | Antilles was an island of significant strategic importance during the [[Second Great War]], as control of the island allowed for Levantine access into the [[Gulf of Kandara]].

Urcea's growing interest in [[New Harren]] leading up to and during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] lead to an explosion in population and activity on the island, as military materiel, potential colonists, and diplomatic parties flooded through the island as part of a stopping off point between the Urcean Metropole and [[Crona]]. The island remains an important midway point between [[Levantia]] and [[Crona]] for trade interests in Levantia and [[Sarpedon]]. In 2014, Urcea exchanged the island with [[Burgundie]] for the island of [[Medimeria]]. | Urcea's growing interest in [[New Harren]] leading up to and during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] lead to an explosion in population and activity on the island, as military materiel, potential colonists, and diplomatic parties flooded through the island as part of a stopping off point between the Urcean Metropole and [[Crona]].

=== Transitional Government === | === Transitional Government === | ||
In [[2014]], the governments of [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]] confirmed a reorganization of their overseas territories in the [[Levantine Ocean]] to align with their modern interests in [[Crona]]. With [[Burgundie]]’s continuing interest in [[Alshar]] and [[Urcea]]’s growing interests in [[Crona]] the swapping of administrative control of [[Medimeria]] and Antilles helped both nations. This restructuring was part of the [[Burgundian 21st Century Global Strategic Restructuring Plan|Burgoignesc 21st Century Global Strategic Restructuring Plan]], specifically the Pathways to Punth Initiative. | In [[2014]], the governments of [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]] confirmed a reorganization of their overseas territories in the [[Levantine Ocean]] to align with their modern interests in [[Crona]].

==Politics and government== | |||
Antilles is part of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s [[Geography_of_Burgundie#Wintergen|Polar Burgundies]] geographic designation. [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] 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 Antilles. | |||
Antilles is a province within [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] with its own semi-elected {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}}, representative legislative body, and court system. | |||
Antillesans 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|Lebhan language|Lebhan}} and [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] are both in use. | |||
===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 Antillesan 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 Antillesan 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 Antilles' economy is a high-low mix of sectors from research to traditional agriculture, opportunities abound for Antilliens at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around X% for the last decade. | |||
[[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, Antilles benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields. | |||

{{Further|Rail transportation in Burgundie}} | |||
Antilles uses [[Track gauges around the world|Standard gauge]], 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) for both freight and passenger rail. | |||
[[Rail_transportation_in_Burgundie#Istroyan_Rail|Istroyan Rail]]- Istroyan Rail ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Istroie Ferroviaire''), is the public-private joint-venture, intercity, passenger rail operator in [[Torlen]], [[Antilles]], [[Alcairet]], and [[Chaukhira]]. It owns and operates all rail corridors, {{wp|rights of way}}, and rolling stock that serve this purpose. | |||
====Roads==== | |||
====Air==== | |||
====Energy and electricity==== | |||
====Phone service and internet==== | |||
Phone service is provided by [[List_of_companies_by_industry_in_Burgundie#Service|Great Seas BurgunMobile, Vintage Wireless, and National Wireless Services]], which have 27, 18, and 9 towers respectively across the island. 100% of the island and its population are covered by at least one of the services, National Wireless Services covering the less densely populated and therefore less profitable areas. Copperwire and fiberoptic phone still exists, one or both are required for all municipal and emergency response connections, and people along the route are allowed to buy in, but during emergencies their calls are de-prioritized in favor of emergency response calls, which is the same with mobile service on the island. | |||
Highspeed internet service is provided by [[List_of_companies_by_industry_in_Burgundie#Service|Great Seas BurgunMobile, Vintage Wireless, and Extron Burgundie Mobile]]. Residential internet speeds average 2-3 gigabits while commercial speeds are typically higher in the 3-4 gigabit range. | |||
There is also a [[Global Maritime Distress and Safety System]] repeater and beacon on the island. | |||
