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]]. In the last 50 years it has come be the [[Culture of Burgundie|cultural]] and [[Economy of Burgundie|economic]] center of [[Burgundie]], in essence, creating a foil to the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. | |||

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. | Economically Equitorial Ostecia is led by its logistics/operations management.

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. | |||

The concepts of {{wpl|Yankee ingenuity|Equitorioise ingenuity}} and {{wpl|Yankee stoicism|Equitorioise stoicism}} were born of this period. | ||

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 Services 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. | After the conclusion of [[Operation Kipling]] the [[Security Services 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 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.

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. | ||
Equatorial Ostiecia also was the first [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]] (LOTA) constituent to thaw relations with [[Caphiria]] and as such had virtually zero competition in the trade to and from [[Caphiria]]n markets to consumers in LOTA countries. It also saw a rapid growth in the tourism sector as [[Caphiria]]n tourists and tourists from LOTA nations would come and gawk at each other on "neutral" ground. Tourism has since subsided but it is still a popular destination for [[Yonderre|Yonderrians]] who want to get a sun burn without having to learn another language. | |||
