The Burgundies: Difference between revisions

In 1837, after the Northern Levantine Mediatization War, the newly independent Burgundie, formed a singular state, joining the Fiannrian province of Burgund with many provinces of Ultmar, legally disbanding the latter. In the 1970s, as part of a massive reform effort, large-scale devolution of government occurred. The singularity of the Burgundian nation was put into question and the Lazarine Court decided that a legal term needed to be devised to address the concept of the whole of the things that remained Burgundian. They adopted the Ceteris paribus principle, essentially, all things being equal in the political world, THIS is still part of Burgundie. Defining what THIS was, took 15 years and was only resolved with the addition of ''and lands that the collective branches of government oversee'', meaning that the crownlands, and lands of the royal estate, while not politically part of the sovereign territory of Burgundie, would be considered part of ''The Burgundies''. The definition was passed through the Lazarine Court without incident in 1991.
