'''Patrol Station St. Emiline''' is a naval station with three medium-sized berths (designed to accommodate ships up to the size of a {{wp|FREMM}}) and a single airstrip for medium transport aircraft (designed to safely land and take off with a {{wp|Dassault Falcon 10}}) with hanger facilities for three aircraft of the same size. It is owned by the Port Extranjero Authority and leased and operated by the [[Navy of Burgundie]]. The lease is an evolution in the long-standing fleet basing agreement that [[Burgundie]] and [[Canespa]] have. The lease stipulates that the base is not [[Burgoignesc Security Forces]] sovereign territory as is observed in many over-seas military base leases but is a dedicated berthing and air transit hub for the [[Navy of Burgundie]] in its execution of the maritime protection commitments it has made to [[Canespa]] and to maintain the [[Freedom of the seas]] especially as it pertains to the maintenance of commerce between [[Burgundie]] and [[Canespa]]. It also does not preclude the [[Navy of Burgundie]] from exercising the existing fleet basing agreement that exists between the two nations. Patrol Station St. Emiline is operated by [[Canespa]]n civilians who pass a rigorous selection process to become [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] naval civilian employees and are subject to constant security checks as part of their jobs. The station employs 216 [[Canespa]]ns in this manner. St. Emiline is also a coordination point between the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces]] and the armed forces of [[Canespa]] as well as an advanced radar array and weather tracking point used by the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Government of Burgundie#Ministry of Emergency Management|Burgoignesc Ministry of Emergency Management]] and its [[Canespa]]n counterpart.

==Politics==
Because the port is an "uninhabited extra-territorial exclave" of [[Burgundie]], everyone entering the port must pass through Customs and Border Patrol each time they enter and leave the port, for individuals who work in the Port or who go to school there, a special visa program was established in the late 1980s to allow "rapid clearance of trusted personnel" when going into and out of the Port. This "Trusted Traveler" program requires deep background checks through [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]], [[Canespa]]n, and InterPol databases, separate interviews with [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] and [[Canespa]]n border protection agencies which are then corroborated before a trusted traveler visa is issued. In [[2014]], the visa stamp on the passport was determined to be an archaic system, requiring everyone to have their passport on them at all times. A new system was introduced in [[2015]] that allowed Trusted Travellers to present a Trusted Traveller ID card, or in [[2019]] a QR code to be scanned by border security.
