Equatorial Ostiecia is a large constituent country of [[Burgundie]] located on the northern end of [[Vallos]], at the confluences of the [[Odoneru Ocean]], [[St. Brendan's Strait]], the [[Taínean Sea]], and the [[Polynesian Sea]]. It is bordered but [[Vespera]], a province of [[Caphiria]] in the southeast, [[Arona]] a province of [[Urcea]] in the southwest, and shares a maritime border with [[Eilada]] an island province of [[Faneria]] in the northeast. Its province of [[Equatorial Ostiecia#Flordeterra|Flordeterra]] is in the [[Vallos]]Ian region of [[Vallos#Nordercia|Nordercia]] and it's island provinces span the southern half of the [[Vallos#Capelranco_Archipelago|Capelranco Archipelago]].

In the last 50 years it has come be the [[Culture in Burgundie|cultural]] and [[Economy of Burgundie|economic]] center of [[Burgundie]], in essence, creating a foil to the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. It is home to over 64 million people and is an economic powerhouse with higher than average GDPPC and standards of living than any other constituent country of [[Burgundie]]. Equatorial Ostiecia is predominantly {{wpl|Calvinism|Merchantile Reform Protestant}}. The country upholds religious freedoms and there is a diversity of religions and other Christian Rites making up 34% of the population. The country is demographically diverse, with 64% of its population being "of [[Occidental]] descent" (of which 58% identify as [[Bergendii]]), 13% identify as "of Polynesian descent", 8% identify as "of indigenous [[Crona]]n descent", 7% identify as "of [[Audonia|Oduniyyad]] descent", 5% identify as "of [[Alshar]]i descent", and 3% identify as "of other origin" (it is suspected that they are mostly [[Coscivian civilisation|Coscivians]]). The majority of the people live in urbanized coastal areas, have exceedingly high rates of academic attainment, and work in the services sector.

Economically Equitorial Ostecia is led by its logistics/operations management. It also boasts a large manufacturing sector but this is largely automated so it does not account for a large portion of employment. Retail and the public sector follow manufacturing as economic drivers, they tend to be lower paying but they employ millions of Equitorioise. There is a niche agricultural sector that mostly focuses on cash crops like tea, coffee, sugarcane, cotton, and citrus. There is an even smaller livestock element of the economy with cattle and chickens being the two most commonly raised animals.

Equatorial Ostiecia has been a part of [[History of Burgundie]] from at least the early 1600s and after the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] most of the [[Levantia|Levantine]] protestants who made up those [[Pharisedom]]s relocated to Equatorial Ostiecia. From that point onward Equatorial Ostiecia has been considered a core part of [[Burgundie]] itself.

Prevailing wind patterns interact with local topographic conditions to produce significant variations in rainfall throughout the archipelago. In general, the islands of Equatorial Ostiecia experience the most precipitation, since the north- and westward-moving monsoon clouds are heavy with moisture by the time they reach these more distant regions, with rainfall measuring more than 2,000 millimeters (78.7 in) per year. In part, this moisture originates on high mountain peaks that trap damp air. On the other hand, Floredeterra tends to be dry, with some areas experiencing less than 1,000 millimeters (39.4 in) per year.

Humans settled Vallos at some time around 12,000 BC according to archaeological evidence, a relatively late date of settlement for most parts of the [[Occident]]. The earliest settlers exhibited a relatively similar {{wp|material culture}} to contemporary residents of what would become Pelaxia, suggesting a westward migration at that time. The Neolithic revolution occurred on Vallos to a limited extent, as large urban cities did not develop, but farming of local grasses and other flora made settled farm life viable. About forty percent of people in Vallos adopted agricultural lifestyles by 2000 BC. Society continued to develop, with indigenous prehistoric reaching its apex with the shark pottery culture, a material culture so named for the use of both shark teeth and bones as a crafting material in addition to the use of shark-related motifs on pottery. The shark pottery culture reached its peak around 1800 BC, just prior to the arrival of the first [[Heaven Ships]] and later arrival of the [[Polynesian people|Polynesians]]. Archaeologists have uncovered several urban centers of around a thousand people all along the eastern coast of Vallos which were likely fishing centers and the source of shark material. Shark pottery culture continued its existence following the arrivals of foreign culture groups, although archaeologists classify much of it as "late shark pottery" due to the introduction of foreign innovations.

The collapse of Caphiric hegemony over Vallos in [[1172]] inaugurated a second chaotic period of warfare that would last for over two hundred years. Centuries of raiding had led to economic deprivation in some quarters of Vallos and significant dynastic hatred between nearly all of the eleven kings. The worst part of the warring states period came during its initial century, which saw five different royal dynasties completely exterminated and most of the eleven kingdoms disintegrate into regional factions.

The rise of [[Occidental]] oceanic trade presented a number of opportunities for the petty kings of [[Vallos]], especially in the wake of [[Aster's expedition]] which introduced trade to [[Crona]] from [[Sarpedon]]. Centuries of war had created significant hardship and lack of opportunity for additional plunder in the form of tribute, but the increasing volume of trade centered near [[Vallos]] by the decade caught the eye of both local authorities as well as enterprising individuals. Beginning in around [[1450]], petty kings began to sponsor public privateering of trade ships in [[St. Brendan's Strait]]. Besides the negative impact on overall trade, the sudden influx of wealth back into [[Vallos]], the piracy produced had a profound impact on its politics. In many different cases, privateers had become significantly wealthier than their local ruler, and they used these funds to take over the port they lived in and eventually neighboring settlements. By [[1500]], most of the northern third of [[Vallos]] had become "piratocracies" - realms created by force by wealthy privateers. These states would transform into efficient machines of piracy, as the state apparatus and military continued to grow in support of piracy. This process grew exponentially as [[Culture of Varshan#Slavery|Varshan]] opened its doors to [[Vallos]]i slave traders in [[1579]], making it so that not only the cargo, but the crew, of captured ships were of high value. As they raided the high seas, the piratocracies also consolidated northern [[Vallos]] from more than two dozen petty kingdoms into just three large Kingdoms who actively competed for the right to raid and plunder. The most prominent of these realms was the Kingdom of [[Oustec]], established in the northern archipelago in [[1566]] by the conquest of one privateer of the outlying insular territories of another. Oustec, the privateer-turned-King, would later unify the northern [[Vallos#Capelranco_Archipelago|Capelranco Archipelago]] and push on to mainland [[Vallos]], with his successors establishing the southern boundary of the Kingdom in modern [[Arona]] in [[1598]]. The Kingdom of Oustec would go on to be the primary rival of encroaching [[Occidental]] powers for the next centuries.

In the spring and summer of [[1599]] they were much more successful and carried 17 convoys safely through the [[St. Brendan's Strait]]. [[Portilles]] was becoming a more important town as it was where [[Occidental]] sailors would have to stop to hire the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]]. Its port facilities started to expand as a result and its population grew as some colonists and traders decided to stay. As the Burgoignesc fleet prepared to winter in November they were attacked by a coalition of the pirate kings and [[Portilles]] was razed. Many of the ships of the Company were destroyed or captured. In [[1600]] the [[Bergendii]] returned with an army of 7,000, a colonial force of 450, 3,500 [[Audonian]] slaves, and a fleet of 100 ships. Portilles was rebuilt, and the first order of business was to change the composition of the fleet. A group of 24 shipwrights were set to survey the forests for usable wood and to construct from it a specific ship to combat the Oustec pirates. The cumbersome fleet survived [[1601]] while the shipwrights set about their task. In [[1602]] they decided a {{wpl|patache}}. Another 240 colonists were brought in to work on the ships along with the slaves. Some of the older carracks were disassembled and tropical timbers were harvested and a fleet of 18 {{wpl|patache}} were completed for the summer of [[1602]]. These swift, shallow draft boats were able to chase the pirates anywhere and maneuver as deftly between the islands. By [[1613]], the [[Bergendii]] were becoming masters of the [[St. Brendan's Strait]], giving them a sizable base to interdict against Oustec piracy. They began colonizing the islands and taking the fight to the landed nobles of northern Vallos, capturing [[Equatorial_Ostiecia#Port_de_Vanse|Port de Vanse]] in its entirety from the Oustec by [[1621]]. Despite these early successes, the Oustec remained formidable and resisted an effort to invade modern [[Equatorial_Ostiecia#Pescanice|Pescanice]] in [[1629]], and after this successful defense Oustec began to rapidly adapt to Occidental military technologies and tactics, remaining competitive for the next century.

===Late modern period===
===New Burgundie Colony===
As the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] collapsed in the early 1800s a massive influx of [[Bergendii]] colonists from [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] sought refuge. As they had been dismissed from [[Levantine]] for being Protestant in the first place, they were not welcomed back to the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]].
{{Further|Burgoignesc colonial empire|New Burgundie Colony}}
 
The [[New Burgundie Colony]], resulting from the [[Expulsion of the Protestants]] refugees fleeing [[Dragonnades]] and upheaval in the [[Levantia]], was established in [[1598]]. Chartered by the [[Duchy of Bourgondi]], the colony served as both a sanctuary for the Protestants and an economic venture for the [[Duchy of Bourgondi|Duchy]]. The early years of the colony were fraught with challenges, not least of which were the constant threats posed by entrenched pirate factions, most notably the [[Kingdom of Oustec]]. However, the colonists, hardened by their experiences in the [[Great Confessional War]] and united by their shared faith, proved resilient. Through a combination of defensive fortifications, astute diplomacy, and strategic naval engagements, they gradually established their dominance over the northern [[Capelranco Archipelago]]. This was achieved not through brute force alone, but through a shrewd understanding of local power dynamics and a willingness to forge alliances with indigenous [[Latinic|Latino]]-{{wp|Polynesian}} groups who shared a common interest in curbing the pirates' reign of terror.
They were rerouted, en masse to Equatorial Ostiecia were the population exploded from about 27,000 [[Occidental]]s in 1800 to about 450,000 by the 1850s. The colony saw an explosive period of urbanization and industrialization of farming to accommodate the seemingly endless tidal wave of people.
The [[New Burgundie Colony|colony's]] strategic location along major trade routes, combined with the development of its agricultural and manufacturing sectors, attracted a steady influx of merchants, artisans, and skilled laborers from [[Crona]], [[Srpedon]], and later [[Audonia]]. The colony's fertile volcanic soil proved ideal for cultivating lucrative cash crops such as {{wp|sugar cane}} {{wp|coffee}}, and spices, while its burgeoning shipbuilding industry capitalized on the abundant tropical timber resources and the growing demand for maritime transport. {{New Burgundie}}'s merchant fleet became renowned for its speed and efficiency, as it plied the trade routes between [[Vallos]], [[Crona]], and the burgeoning [[Maritime Dericania]]n [[Burgoignesc colonial empire| colonies]] of [[Audonia]]. This economic prosperity, coupled with the colony's unique socio-political structure – a blend of Calvinist piety, communal solidarity, and nascent democratic ideals – attracted a diverse population of immigrants seeking economic opportunity and religious freedom.
 
The [[New Burgundie Colony|colony's]] economic success was mirrored by its increasing military prowess. By [[1621]], [[New Burgundie]] had effectively neutralized the pirate threat, asserting its dominance over the northern [[Capelranco Archipelago]] and securing its trade routes in [[St. Brendan's Strait]]. This victory opened up new avenues for economic expansion and solidified the colony's position as a regional power. In the decades that followed, [[New Burgundie]] evolved into a vibrant and prosperous colony, its economy diversified and its society increasingly cosmopolitan. The influx of [[Bergendii]] refugees from [[Audonia]] in the early 19th century, fleeing the collapse of the [[Audonia]]n colonies, brought a new wave of challenges and opportunities. The [[New Burgundie Colony|colony's]] population skyrocketed, leading to rapid urbanization and the industrialization of agriculture. However, this demographic shift also brought new skills, ideas, and entrepreneurial spirit to [[New Burgundie]], further fueling its economic growth.
Because this was occurring during the industrial revolution there was period during the [[First Fratricide]] where Equatorial Ostiecia was more advanced than the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. Because the colony wants bound up in medieval infrastructure and political baggage it was able to adopt new ideas and technologies immediately.
The colony's lack of entrenched traditional structures allowed it to quickly adapt to the technological advancements of the {{wp|Industrial Revolution}}, surpassing even the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] in some areas. This era of rapid change solidified the values of self-reliance, innovation, and a frontier mentality that continue to permeate Equitorioise culture today, encapsulated in the concepts of "{{wp|Yankee ingenuity|Equitorioise ingenuity}}" and "{{wp|Yankee stoicism|Equitorioise stoicism}}."
 
The [[Odurian War]] of [[1858]]-[[1859]], sparked by [[Caphiria]]'s intervention in the rump state of the [[Kingdom of Oustec]], saw [[New Burgundie]] and its metropole, now the [[History_of_Burgundie#Burgundie-Faramount_Union|Burgundie-Faramount Union]], drawn into a conflict that ultimately resulted in the partition of [[Oustec]] and the annexation of the northern territories into the growing Burgoignesc realm, now known as [[Flordeterre]]. This conflict, while devastating, further solidified [[New Burgundie]]'s strategic importance and its role as a regional contender.
This is also the period when the primacy of property rights, self-reliance, embracing innovation, and a frontier mentality took hold in Equatorial Ostiecia that still permeates it's culture today. The concepts of {{wpl|Yankee ingenuity|Equitorioise ingenuity}} and {{wpl|Yankee stoicism|Equitorioise stoicism}} were born of this period.
The aftermath of the [[Odurian War]] set the stage for the [[New Burgundie Secession War]] of [[1870]]-[[1873]]. Fueled by a complex interplay of socio-economic grievances, political aspirations, and a burgeoning sense of national identity, the colonists rose in rebellion against their [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc overlords]]. Despite their eventual defeat, the war marked a turning point in the colony's history. The recognition of [[New Burgundie]] as a home rule constituent country within [[The Burgundies]] was a significant concession, paving the way for the emergence of modern Equatorial Ostiecia.

The '''Odurian War''' was a conflict in [[Vallos]] that led to the final partition of the [[Equatorial Ostiecia#Kingdom%20of%20Oustec|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.

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.

Invasion of [[Vespera]]
{{Further|Second Great War}}
Equatorial Ostiecia was a key battleground during the [[Second Great War]]. There were two separate land campaigns against the [[Caphiria]]n [[Vespera]], which in [[1941]] led to the complete occupation of [[Vespera]]. The first campaign, in [[1937]] was a strike into the industrial core of the territory. With [[Caphiria]]n troops engaging in the east, and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Navy of Burgundie|naval]] dominance in the [[Tainean Sea]], their was very little [[Caphiria]] could do. Throughout the monsoon season of [[1938]] [[Caphiria]] used {{wp|Merchant submarine}}s to run the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Navy of Burgundie|naval]] blockage, and eventually the troops from Equatorial Ostiecia were withdrawn to conserve manpower. Throughout [[1938]]-early [[1941]] a number of small border clashes occuring with a locally successful [[Caphiria]]n invasion in [[1939]]. By [[1941]], local tank production was such that a massive land maneuver campaign was once again possible and on May 3rd, [[1940]] the [[Army of Burgundie]] began a campaign that would, by December [[1941]] see the total occupation of the territory established. For the remaining two years of the war, [[Burgundie]] maintained the occupation. On the home front, the manufactories of Equatorial Ostiecia were pumping out an astounding number of tanks, guns, ships, and planes. By [[1940]], Equatorial Ostiecia was producing more of each category than the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. The only area that was not dominated by Equatorial Ostiecia was ammunition production.
 
====Occidental Cold War====
{{Further|Occidental Cold War}}
While the Occidental Cold War was primarily a series of geopolitical tensions between [[Urcea]] and [[Caphiria]], it cast a long shadow over Equatorial Ostiecia due to its proximity to the [[Caphiria]]n territory of [[Vespera]]. The constant threat of nuclear escalation and the ideological conflict between the [[Levantia|Levantine]] and [[Sarpedon]]ic blocs deeply affected the socio-political and economic landscape of the islands. The construction of the Vallosian Wall, a concrete wall, 3 meters tall along the entire Equatorial Ostiecia-Vespera border, heightened anxieties and reinforced the omnipresent sense of vulnerability among the Equitorioise populace.
Despite the prevailing atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, the [[Occidental Cold War]] also served as a catalyst for introspection and change within Equitorioise society. The younger generation, exposed to the liberalizing influences emanating from the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]], began to question the more conservative {{wp|Calvinist}} values that had long underpinned their society. This cultural awakening found expression in a burgeoning arts scene, where innovative forms of music, dance, and visual arts challenged the established norms and conventions.
Economically, the [[Occidental Cold War]] presented a double-edged sword for Equatorial Ostiecia. While the islands' strategic importance in the geopolitical chessboard led to increased investment in infrastructure and military installations by [[Burgundie]], stimulating the local economy and creating employment opportunities, the constant specter of conflict also deterred foreign investment and hampered trade with [[Sarpedon]]ic bloc nations.
The Equitorioise government, faced with the delicate task of balancing its allegiance to [[Burgundie]] with the imperative of maintaining regional stability, adopted a pragmatic approach to foreign policy. It maintained a robust military presence along the Vallosian Wall while simultaneously engaging in discreet diplomatic channels with [[Caphiria]]n officials in [[Vespera]]. This cautious balancing act, though fraught with potential pitfalls, ultimately proved successful in averting conflict and preserving the fragile peace in the region. It was through these efforts, that in [[1974]] that the [[Occidental_Cold_War#Burgo-Caphirian_Thaw|Burgo-Caphirian Thaw]] occured.
 
[[Burgundie]]'s economy and cultural stamina, flagging as [[Operation Kipling]] dragged into its 8th year without an end in site. The [[Burgundie|Burgoignacs]] of [[Equitorial Burgundie]], [[Flordeterra]], [[Port de Vent]], and [[Sudmoll]] were feeling neglected as all of the aid money promised to them for reconstruction efforts after the [[Second Great War]] had been diverted to [[Operation Kipling]]. Looking to stimulate these economies and to thwart any resentment boiling over to the point of the [[New Burgundie Secession War]], economists and strategists weighed the option of reopening trade with [[Caphiria]]. The idea was particularly resisted by the public in [[Flordeterra]], who had been nuked by [[Caphiria]] in the closing weeks of the war. As a trial effort the trade between [[Escal]] and [[Sudmoll]] was opened in the summer of [[1974]]. The islands had long been trading partners and during the [[Second Great War]] and the opening phases of the Occidental Cold War when trade was officially shut down, they maintained a strong black market and smuggling economy to maintain their economies. It was determined that regulating this trade, normalizing prices, and taxing would be beneficial for both the governments of [[Burgundie]] and [[Caphiria]]. The move was well received and tax revenues exploded, causing the government of [[Port de Vent]] to petition for the same agreement in the fall. A trade commission saw their trade open just before Christmas. In the proceeding three years trade was cautiously opened more and more, at first on a province by province basis and eventually nationally.
 
[[Burgundie]]'s grand scale adoption of [[containerization]] (greatly bolstered by the logistical requirements of [[Operation Kipling]]) meant that it was able to ship goods more efficiently by an enormous factor and needed new markets to keep up with its new capabilities. Companies like [[O’Shea Container Shipping]] took this opportunity to aggressively market the companies of [[Caphiria]] and became a major import-export carrier of [[Caphiria]]n goods by the early [[1980]]s. It is estimated that the "Thaw" contributed to the global rise of the [[Economy of Burgundie]] in ways and to a degree that no other single piece of legislation as come close to encountering.


====[[Operation Kipling]]====
====[[Operation Kipling]]====
The wars of [[Operation Kipling]] formed the modern Equatorial Ostiecia. It was used as a forward operating base for the various general staffs and as a forward manufacturing and logistical hub. The logistical infrastructure that criss-crosses the country were laid down or expanded during the course of the wars in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]]. It is also why most of the infrastructure favors the western sides of the islands. The raw materials coming from the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] were smaller and easier to disembark in the older ports and rail hubs in the eastern shores of Equatorial Ostiecia. As the products were assembled they became larger and more complex and by the time they were completed and ready to send to the war zones they required larger and more complex logistical chains. This has led to more rail and shipyards in the western portions of the country and more airfields as well.

After the conclusion of [[Operation Kipling]] the [[Security Forces of Burgundie]] sold off much of the manufacturing and logistical assets it had built/subsidized to private firms who were immediately take ownership and turn a profit. This lead to a huge economic boom that lasted from about [[1987]]-[[1995]]. It waned with the advent of the global adaptation of the internet but a few companies were forward thinking and invested heavily in the adoption of the new technology. The shipping company wars of the mid 90s ravaged large swathes of the economy to the point were the national government of [[Burgundie]] stepped in and mediated a peace and what had once been a patchwork of 100s of smaller owner/operator logistical concerns was reduced down to three large logistical companies to provide stability, maintain competition, and standardize the infrastructure to international standards.

This infrastructure standardization led to a construction and network system development boom that led the economy for approximately 15 years from [[1998]]-[[2013]]. While construction and infrastructure maintenance is still a strong aspect of the economy, it is a mere shadow of itself in the early 2000s. Bringing all of the micro systems online or into a centralized corporate database meant that an entire sector needed to be stood up overnight. This also means that government-owned internet infrastructure was pervasive across all of Equatorial Ostiecia with fiber optic internet being standard and 4 and 5G towers covering 97% of the countries population.

The military installation now know as Fort LaRemie was first established as a militia training camp in the 1600s under orders of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] and used as a mustering ground for over 150 years. It was also a town common for grazing animals when not serving its military purpose. In the 1780s its militia use was discontinued. The grounds were eventually sold to a private land owner.

JNS Daniel Launtceur was named for the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] naval officer who assisted with the creation of much of [[Arcerion]]'s modern surface warfare doctrine, rooted in the [[Second Great War]]. His participation in the drafting, acceptance, and implementation was only second to his role as one of the combat officers on His Majesty's Arcerion Ship ''Tusk'', a light cruiser that conducted surface raids and actions against [[The Cape|Capetian]] vessels during the [[Second Great War]]. To date Daniel Launtceur is the only non-[[Arcerion|Arcer]] officer to receive the Arcerion Order of Merit (AOM) for wartime actions with the [[Royal Arcerion Naval Service]].
The base was originally built during the [[Bourgondii-Loa Wars]] as a minor retrofitting station in [[1837]]. At the conclusion of that conflict the station was all but abandoned but, its ownership remained in the hands of the [[Navy of Burgundie]]. In the [[First Great War]] it was reactivated, but its facilities were too archaic for it to be useful, so it served primarily as a barracks and training ground for local militias. After the conclusion of the [[First Great War]] it was loaned to the [[Revenue Guard]] as a Lifesaving Station. It served in that role until the [[Second Great War]] when a massive construction effort was made to allow for deeper draft ships to dock. New piers were constructed and modern radio relays were installed. These improvements were the last major reconstruction of the base until it was retrofitted for the [[Arcerion]]'s in [[2024]]-[[2029]]. Many of the smaller berths were back-filled to allow for easier replenishment of larger ships and for the dredging of fewer, deeper channels. New radars, and datalinks were installed as well as demolishing all of the facilities on the base and building them to a modern standard. The work was conducted by [[O'Shea Infrastructure and Design]] and many of the materials used were purchased from [[Estia-Odoneru Gypsum, Salt, and Aggregate]].
As part of the [[2033 Arcer Armed Forces Act]] the base is under construction, increasing its largest berth to accommodate the ''Kurst'' aircraft carrier group, as well as a host of replenishment vessels, merchant marine expeditionary support ships, and maritime aircraft such as helicopters and transports.

The tenants of [[Mercantile Reform Protestantism]] predicate almost all aspects of culture in Equatorial Ostiecia. Work ethic, attire, observation of life's milestones, and  entertainment are all conducted in a manner consistent with the modern practice of[[Mercantile Reform Protestantism]]. While not as stuffy and puritanical as it was in the past, society in Equatorial Ostiecia is the most formal, modest, and bound in societal norms of all of the constituent countries of [[Burgundie]].
===Attire===
Because of the [[Equatorial_Ostiecia#Climate|climate]], the standard fabrics for clothing in Equatorial Ostiecia are linen and muslin. These fabrics are either left in their natural colors or bleached white. Because of the predominantly [[Mercantile Reform Protestant]] attire is [[Occidental]], but notably formal and modest. In a professional environment men's shirts are typically button downs either with a turnover collar with some form of neckwear, or a Nehru collar without. High-waisted, pleated trousers are also common, without a cuff. Sleeves cut at the wrist and are worn slightly billowy for ventilation. In divergence from common [[Occidental]] styling, on top of these clothes is typically worn a {{wpl|Thawb#Middle_East_and_North_Africa|kandora}}, an ankle-length robe, usually with long sleeves. This is a tradition brought from [[Bergendii]] fleeing the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] in [[Audonia]] in the early 19th century and its name is both the name of the garment in [[Chaukhira]]n Arabic and after the colony of Kandara. In non-professional settings men typically wear camp shirts and linen trousers. Shorts are frowned upon for grown men.
Women typically wear linen dresses, but modest blouses and slacks are acceptable. Over this, women typically wear a richly embroidered {{wpl|thawb}}, with different colors and patterns signifying various aspects of the wearer's social position and it's unique from town or city to another.
===Religion===
Equatorial Ostiecia is predominantly [[Mercantile Reform Protestant]]. The country upholds religious freedoms and there is a diversity of religions and other Christian Rites making up 34% of the population.

==Economy==
{{Further|Economy of Burgundie}}
===Standard of living and employment===
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.
[[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, Equatorial Ostiecia benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields.
Additionally, Equatorial Ostiecia's cultural foundation of {{wp|Reformed_Christianity#Social_and_economic_influences|Calvinist religio-societal doctrine}}, emphasizing the moral imperative of labor, frugality, and communal responsibility, has created a unique Ostiecian socio-economic macrocosm within the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]. This is evidenced by a generally high standard of living, characterized by access to quality education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The deeply ingrained {{wp|Protestant work ethic}}, valuing industriousness and diligence, has cultivated a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, this paired with the adoption of a credit-based economy (vs. the {{wp|usry}} constrained economies of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]), and a willingess to accept risk, contributed to sustained economic growth throughout Equatorial Ostiecia's history. {{wp|Clavinism}}s emphasis on communal well-being and a just distribution of wealth has resulted in lower-than-average income inequality in the country, which has led to a history of robust social welfare programs and a progressive tax system, ensuring a safety net for the less fortunate. The commitment to full employment, seen as a moral duty, has led to comprehensive vocational training and job placement programs, keeping unemployment rates consistently low, around 2.2% for the last decade. In sum, Equatorial Ostiecia offers a compelling example of how deeply held religious values can shape a nation's socio-economic fabric, fostering prosperity, equity, and social cohesion.

====Phone service and internet====
Phone service is provided by [[List_of_companies_by_industry_in_Burgundie#Service|Great Seas BurgunMobile, Island Mobile, and National Wireless Services]], which have 372, 271, and 482 towers respectively across the island. 100% of Equatorial Ostiecia 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 Island Mobile]]. Residential internet speeds average 2-3 gigabits while commercial speeds are typically higher in the 3-4 gigabit range.
There are also 17 [[Global Maritime Distress and Safety System]] repeaters and beacons across the country.
