Argaea is owned almost exclusively by the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] as it was initially settled in the 1880s and later annexed, in [[1927]], as a research outpost for the National Insitutes of Burgundie ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''les Institues Nacional de Burgundie (INB)''). The INB, in conjunction with royal and national societies of various scientific studies managed the islands from [[1927]] until [[1973]], when a resort was established just outside of Le Havre, for soldiers, sailors, and marines on rest and relaxation from [[Operation Kipling]]. Even after the war there was interest in vacationing in the marine west coast climate, especially in the winter months when skiing and other snow sports in the winter, June to August. In the 21st century the tourism industry has quadrupled in size as [[ | Argaea is owned almost exclusively by the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] as it was initially settled in the 1880s and later annexed, in [[1927]], as a research outpost for the National Insitutes of Burgundie ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''les Institues Nacional de Burgundie (INB)'').

Argaea's primary purpose and main economic driver is still that it is a haven for scientific research, but it's cold climate has made increasingly important to the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] for establishing secure, passively cooled, data centers for government cloud computing storage. As a result, since [[2016]] the [[Cyber Security Defense Agency of Burgundie]] has established a permanent base on Argaea with a staff of 430 staff. The [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]] has increased its footprint on the island as well, to protect the physical assets of government. It is also a key base for the [[Vocivine National of Burgundie|Vocivine]] and [[Navy_of_Burgundie|Navy]] because of its remoteness. | Argaea's primary purpose and main economic driver is still that it is a haven for scientific research, but it's cold climate has made increasingly important to the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] for establishing secure, passively cooled, data centers for government cloud computing storage.

[[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 developed countries. 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, Argaea benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields. | [[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 developed countries.

Car ownership is common in Wintergen but family units typically only have one car. Transit options exist for school and work so cars are used primarily for chores and housekeeping and visiting friends and family. Because of the cost of gasoline, personal vehicles are rarely people's first choice for transit. Argaea has 11,647 km (7237.11 mi) of roads, 8,480kms are improved. Most of the imporved roads are long haul routes connecting the sparse settlements. Almost all roads are owned and maintained by the provincial transit authority The Transportation Authority of Argaea ([[Burgoignesc clanguage|Burg]]:''Authoritat de Transportacion de Argaea (ATA)''), with the exception of the roads within Le Havre which has its own transportation authority who maintain the roads within the city limits of Le Havre. There is an inter-community bus system, also operated by the ATA that, in the summer, connects the disparate communities to Le Havre. In the winter, road buses are replaced by off-road buses and the frequency is cut dramatically. | |||
