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. 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.


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.

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]].

===Standard of living===
===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.
