The '''Odurian War''' was a conflict in [[Vallos]] that led to the final partition of the Kingdom of [[Oustec]]. The war began ostensibly as an intervention into Oustec by [[Caphiria]] to protect the community of Latin-speaking cities there. The unification of [[Burgundie]] created it as a strong, [[Levantia|Levantine]] colonial power with [[Equatorial Ostiecia|extensive possessions]] bordering Oustec. Its presence sparked a period of fear and panic in Caphiria regarding [[Levantine Creep]] and the fate of the Latins in the country. The sudden invasion of eastern Oustec on 18 March [[1858]] prompted a counter-invasion of the rest of the country by Burgundie in July, fearing that Caphiria might annex the entire rump Kingdom. In August, the estranged [[Arona#Provincial%20history|Harounan Province]] declared independence from the crumbling Oustec state and sought protection from [[Urcea]], whose forces in [[New Archduchy]] were well positioned to arrive at the Harounan Province in a timely manner. The Oustec, unable to resist invasion from three sides, pulled most of their forces back to their inland capital city of Oduria. Oduria was besieged by Burgoignesc forces for much of [[1859]] before finally falling towards the end of the year. The conflict threatened to escalate into a general conflict involving the three Occidental powers before [[Kiravia]] brokered a peace. | The '''Odurian War''' was a conflict in [[Vallos]] that led to the final partition of the Kingdom of [[Oustec]].

Because Equatorial Ostiecia's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from finance to dockwork, opportunities abound for Ostiecians at all skill and education levels, which has helped the country maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around 2.2% 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 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. | |||
