The Burgoignesc Metropole, sometimes called Levantine Burgundie, is a cultural designation for the three constituent countries of Ile Burgundie, Nostrestran, and Faramount of the nation of Burgundie. It is not a political entity and has no legal status. It spans an area of 1,659,897.5km.
Etymology
The Burgoignesc metropole is based on the Istroyan word "metropolis" meaning mother city. Metropolis has since come, in the international community, a large city, and in southern (Catholic) Levantia, the seat of a metropolitan or archbishop. Metropole itself has come to specifically mean "the parent state of a colony", popularized as a neolog to describe Burgundie, separate from its far-flung holdings that make up the Burgoignesc Thalattocracy.
History
The term Burgoignesc Metropole was first attested following Burgundie's unification in the 1870s. By 1883 it had become common parlance and its modern definition was codified in Burgundie.
It was used in the 1890s-1920s by Kiravian newspapers to describe the unending Burgoignesc lust for expansionism and war.
It was also used heavily in conjunction with Levantine Creep and Burgophobic reportage in both Kiravia and Caphiria throughout the 20th century, especially during the Second Great War. In that time the phrase was also personified in Brother Auggie around the globe.
