The '''Province of Argaea''', commonly known as '''Argaea''', is an over-seas province of [[Burgundie]], that encompasses the entire Archipelago of Argaea, in the southern interface between the [[Absurian Ocean]] and the [[Ocean of Cathay]], off the continent of [[Australis]].It is part of [[Burgundie]]'s [[Government of Burgundie#Constituent Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s [[Geography of Burgundie#Argaea|Polar Burgundies]] geographic designation. It is home to 214,390 Argaeans. It's capital and largest city is Le Havre which also serves as the province's largest port facility.

Argaea is owned almost exclusively by the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] as it was initially settled in the 1880s and later annexed, in [[1927]], as a research outpost for the National Insitutes of Burgundie ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''les Institues Nacional de Burgundie (INB)''). The INB, in conjunction with royal and national societies of various scientific studies managed the islands from [[1927]] until [[1973]], when a resort was established just outside of Le Havre, for soldiers, sailors, and marines on rest and relaxation from [[Operation Kipling]]. Even after the war there was interest in vacationing in the marine west coast climate, especially in the winter months when skiing and other snow sports in the winter, June to August. In the 21st century the tourism industry has quadrupled in size as [[~~Palicin~~ Holdings]] has opened a number of resort hotels, boutique eco-tourism attractions and lodgings, and three new ski mountains between [[2008]] and [[2032]].

Argaea's primary purpose and main economic driver is still that it is a haven for scientific research, but it's cold climate has made increasingly important to the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] for establishing secure, passively cooled, data centers for government cloud computing storage. As a result, since [[2016]] the [[Cyber Security Defense Agency of Burgundie]] has established a permanent base on Argaea with a staff of 430 staff. The [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]] has increased its footprint on the island as well, to protect the physical assets of government. It is also a key base for the [[Vocivine National of Burgundie|Vocivine]] and [[Navy_of_Burgundie|Navy]] because of its remoteness.
