'''Burgundiemarch''' is a [[Government of Urcea#Province|province]] of [[Urcea]]. It is considered part of Urcea's [[Transionia]] region. With an estimated population of 5,401,299 in 2014, it is the least populous province of Urcea. The province, which consists mostly of marshy flatlands east of the [[Ionian Plateau|Ionian Mountains]], was formed from an amalgamation of lands taken from the [[Kingdom of Gassavelia]] after the [[Great Confessional War]] as well as principalities that were once part of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. Settlement by [[Urcean people]] from [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] largely displaced the small population of [[Derian identity|Derian people]] and [[Gassavelian people]] by the middle of the 19th century, but the area has always been considered a cultural and political outlier in Urcean society. | |||

Following the reorganization of Urcea into provinces under the Regency of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], the myriad territories that comprised the area were reformed into the single province of Burgundiemarch in 1892. Named for the neighboring country of [[Burgundie]], the province was apparently intended by FitzRex to be a first line of defense to prevent against incursions from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], as a military government was installed and elections were not held in 1895 as they were in the other provinces. The province would indeed see heavy fighting between the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Regal Army]] and the [[Army of Burgundie]] as the latter attempted and failed to enter the country by land during the [[Overland Campaign]], a part of the [[Red Interregnum]]. Following that conflict, Burgundiemarch has been a peaceful and prosperous area as part of an important overland trade artery between Urcea and Burgundie. | Following the reorganization of Urcea into provinces under the Regency of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], the myriad territories that comprised the area were reformed into the single province of Burgundiemarch in 1892.
