Redrafting of the geographic information system or GIS mapping in Burgundie occurs every 5 years across The Burgundies. Massive fleets of cartographic aircraft fly over and provide LIDAR, orthographic, oblique, and infrared images. The planes are also equipped with a series of sensors to detect large plumes of chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear, or explosive materials, used by the Emergency Management Agency of Burgundie for hazard mapping. These maps also include the 20-mile territorial waters and major shipping lanes. The images are taking at 7.5cm and 15cm resolutions which provide the agencies with access to incredibly accurate and high-resolution detailed maps. | Redrafting of the geographic information system or GIS mapping in [[Burgundie]] occurs every 5 years across [[The Burgundies]].

Nuclear power became prevalent in the 1960s with the construction of the experimental Raimond and Aioflde plants. With their success, another plant was built in Sedane. However, a surveyor was bribed to change the location of the proposed site and it was built on a fault-line. In 1974 a minor earthquake became a major catastrophe as the shifting ground caused the shielding around the reactor to crack and a moderate leak developed. The reactor was shut down and a 150 square kilometer area had to be cordoned off to contain the release of radioactive material. In 2004, O’Shea Container Shipping (transferred to O'Shea Operation Management Services) purchased the land and used it to develop Radioactive Removal Services (RRS) technologies. The accident slowed the pace of the Nuclear power sector in Burgundie for about 10 years.

Residential connections are expected to be completed by 2048.

Architecture of Italy Insulating concrete form
History of East architecture
- Etruscan architecture
- Ancient Roman architecture
- Histansahri and Gassavelian architecture
- Romanesque architecture
- Gothic architecture
- Renaissance architecture
- Baroque architecture post Great Confessional War, mostly the Duchies of Bourgondi and Marialanus, there was never enough money to go full Rocoo
- Neoclassical architecture mid 18th century, less ornate, more accessible, common in many eastern Latin principalities, common style that had more in common with other coastal areas, less in common with "Inner Dericania", not quite Two Derics yet but we are getting there
- Beaux-Arts architecture 1850s-1890sBurgundie united under this style and it was ubiquitous
- Art Nouveau considered the first Burgoignesc style 1890s-1927 (Great War)
- Modern architecture 1930s-early 1950s, war shortages saw an austerity movement that eschewed ornamentation out of necessity
- Kilikas Brutalism post-Great War reactionary style spear headed the voluntary utilitarian movements that followed
- Postmodern architecture 1960s-2010s a counter reaction to the austerity of Modern architecture, more ornamentation but still based in utility
- 21st century architecture:
- Sustainable architecture
- New Urbanism
- New Classical architecture
- Eco-cities

Mapping
The official maps of Burgundie are maintained by the Royal Burgoignesc Geological Survey and the Oceanographic, Atmospheric, and Cartographic Administration of Burgundie. Support for these maps is also provided by various branches of the Burgoignesc Security Forces, particularly the Revenue Guard and Defense Intelligence. All map originals are co-located in the Royal Archives and the Citizen's Court Library, and their electronic versions are kept both locally on 4 servers throughout Burgundie as well as on the servers in Argaea.

Almost half of the consumable power in Burgundie is created in the countries 7 nuclear power plants. Burgundie Central Nuclear Power Plant (Gen II+) and Aylerham Nuclear Power Station (Gen III) are both located on the island of Burgundie. Levantine Burgundie has 4 nuclear plants, the Gehildr Plant (Gen II)in northern Zelthus, Hinhylde Nuclear Plant (Gen II+) in Solibris, Zelderthorpe Power Station (Gen II) in Meyerby, an Dunleigh Nuclear Power Generating Plant (Gen II) in Westmarch. The 7th nuclear power plant in Burgundie is the brand new AyerSee All Power Plant(Gen IV), a hybrid nuclear, wind and tidal power plant. There are also two archaic and inactive nuclear power plants in Burgundie that were mothballed as part of their decommissioning in 1990s, but can be made operational in 18 months. The Sigjold and Alde plants, both Generation I reactors in DunDrummin, were put into "protective hibernation" was part of the "BurgunFri" environmental movement in the 1980s and 1990s whose goal it was to eliminate Burgundies reliance of foreign oil and fossil fuels in general.

The accident slowed the pace of the Nuclear power sector in Burgundie for about 10 years. However, during the "BurgunFri" environmental movement it came back and the following plants were built in the 1980s and 1990s:

Telecommunications
Since 2027 all of the Ile of Burgundie, Ultmar, the trade islands, and Wintergen have been upgraded to 5G network. Most of the urban areas in Flordeterra and Burgundian Dericania are also 5G, but the hinterlands remain 4G with some extremely remote areas still operating with 3G. There are five major carriers across The Burgundies, in order of size they are Vintage Wireless, Extron Burgundie Mobile, National Wireless Services, Island Mobile, Great Seas BurgunMobile.
Starting in 2015, the government reinvested in copper wire phones lines as part of the Redundant Infrastructure for a Stronger Burgundie Act, a massive critical infrastructure bill that focused on target hardening and community resilience measures.

This coincides with deployment of a nationalized 211 (the Emergency telephone number in Burgundie) network. This allows for any level of government to utilize the reverse-111 system to reach out to their citizens with emergency information. Burgundie also utilizes the N11 code as follows:
- 2-1-1: Emergency services (police, fire, ambulance/rescue services)
- 3-1-1: Community services and information
- 4-1-1: Municipal government services, non-emergency number
- 5-1-1: Traffic information or police non-emergency services
- 6-1-1: Directory assistance, Telephone company (telco) customer service, and repair
