The '''Argaea Global Seed Vault''' is a secure seed bank on the Burgundian island of Argaea in the remote Arctic. The technocracy’s directorate started the vault to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds that are duplicate samples, or "spare" copies, of seeds held in gene banks worldwide. The seed vault is an attempt to ensure against the loss of seeds in other genebanks during large-scale regional or global crises. The seed vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement between the Burgundian government, the Argaean Technocracy, and Government of Caphiria. | The '''Argaea Global Seed Vault''' is a secure seed bank on the Burgundian island of Argaea in the remote Arctic.

The Burgundian government entirely funded the vault's approximately $8.8 million construction. Storing seeds in the vault is free to end users, with Burgundie and Caphiria paying for the majority of the banks operational costs. | The Burgundian government entirely funded the vault's approximately $8.8 million construction.
