Of the Burgundians, the [[Bergendii]] are the largest ethnic group. Sometimes referred to as ethnic Burgundians by other cultures, this group is pervasive across many nations around the world. However, only those who originate from the Latinic group that populated the [[Ile Burgundie]] between 100BC and 11th century AD are considered Bergendii. This Latinic group created a divergent culture with its own traditions and language, and after turning on the Latinic Arani of southeast [[Faneria]], most scholars think that they had become a unique group. Their phenotype also paints a picture of some limited genetic mixing with local ethnic groups, which their linguistics and traditions support. The Bergendii are now truly northern [[Levantia|Levantine]], despite their equitorial origins.

Common characteristics are that they speak [[Burgundian Language|Burgundian]], they are primarily [[Levantine Catholic Church‎‎|Levantine Catholic]], although there is a sizable minority of [[Merchantile Reform Protestants]] in [[Flordeterra]] and the [[Burgundian Minor Overseas Territories]]. They are generally paler, taller, and fairer than their Latinic brethern, due to intermixing with the indigenous populations of northern [[Levantia]].

===Latinic===
The people of Latinic descent in [[Burgundie]] mainly come from [[Caphiria]] and [[Urcea]], but also make up indigenous majorities in [[Burgundie#Burgundian_Dericania|Burgundian Dericania]]. They are primarily Latin-speaking [[Levantine Catholic Church‎‎|Levantine]] and Imperial Catholics, depending on where they originated.

While genetically part of the Latinic phenotype, the Sintalians are a culturally unique group in central eastern coast of [[Levantia]]. In the [[Burgundie#Burgundian_Dericania|Burgundian Dericania]] territories of [[Drusla]], [[Esquinia]], and [[Pumbria]] the Sinitalians are the majority group. The Sintalians have dark features, are shorter and squatter then their western Latinic cousins. They speak {{Wpl|Sicilian_language|Sintalian}}, an off-shoot of Latin that is so idiomatic and influenced by other languages brought to them by seafaring people, including [[Burgundian Language|Burgundian]], that linquistically it is considered separate from Latin. The majority of Sintalians are [[Levantine Catholic Church‎‎|Levantine Catholic]] but about 15% practice {{wpl|Judaism}}.

===Feinii===
The [[Feinii]] of [[Burgundie]], are a subgroup of the greater [[Levantia|Levantine]] {{wpl|Celts|Prythones}}. They make up the majority of the population in [[Ultmar]], but are only the second largest group in all of [[Burgundie]]. They often complain of unequal treatment at the hands of the [[Bergendii]] establishment. They are tall, pale, a large part of the population have red or fair hair. They are primarily [[Levantine Catholic Church‎‎|Levantine Catholic]] but as a sign of resistance against the "foreign" Latinic rule of the [[Bergendii]], some more radical groups adopted {{wpl|Afrikaner Calvinism|Punthite Merchantile Reform Protestants}} and [[Burgundie#Other_Christian_Faiths|Mormonism]] in the early 20th century. While these groups are small, about 6% and 3% respectively, they have become some of the most outspoken in favor for addressing the "inherent rascism" in [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] society.

Primary and secondary education is mandatory in [[Burgundie]]. Burgoignesc parents value education above all else for their children. In addition to public schools, magnet and charter schools thrive. Private schools like independent, parochial, Montessori, and Waldorf schools serve 60% of the primary and secondary students in [[Burgundie]]. Families are very receptive to the varied learning styles of their children and often choose schools based on their children's needs, as well as their prestige. As such, the children of [[Burgundie]] have some of the highest literacy rates at 99% and about 90% of young Burgoigniacs pursue some form of tertiary education.

===Public School===
The public school system in [[Burgundie]] is administered and run by the [[Levantine Catholic Church]]. The Ministry of National Education (MONE) oversees the development of a secular curriculum based on the {{wpl|Liberal_arts_education#Secondary_school|Istroyan ''enkuklios paideia'' "well-rounded education"}} which is a minimum standard for the [[Levantine Catholic Church|Church]]'s public schools. The MOE is primarily an inspection and enforcement agency and has commensurate authorities.

Since [[Burgundie]] is a majority [[Levantine Catholic Church|Catholic]] country, the [[Levantine Catholic Church|Church]] has a monopoly on faith healing. While a variety of parochial {{wpl|Evidence-based medicine|evidence-based medicine}} hospitals and paramedical services exist, there are services offered for those who prefer {{wpl|Faith healing}} as well. Not all parish priests are trained in the conduct of healing services, but parishes where the practice is more accepted typically have priests who are so trained. All priests in [[Burgundie]] are well acquainted with the appeal for the {{wpl|Intercession of saints}} and it has been anecdotally acknowledged that large swaths of the population seek this practice.

[[Burgundie|Burgundian]] society is predicated heavily on the moral prerogative of a righteous {{wpl|Civil society}}. This has long been the breeding ground for the {{wpl|Social contract}} that developed in [[Burgundie]]. It stipulates that the Commonwealth is best served by citizens who are highly independent and intelligent, mindful of their action’s impact on others, and knowledgeable of the definite difference between right and wrong. The concept of a “moral grey area” is a fairly recent development and is mostly utilized solely overseas as an instrument of trade or politics.

The concept of a “moral grey area” is a fairly recent development and is mostly utilized solely overseas as an instrument of trade or politics.


This sense of establishing a morally righteous community has long been supported by the [[Levantine Catholic Church]], allowing for the Church to dig its presence deep into the societal consciousness of the average [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] citizen. This is best expressed through a [[2023]] study on {{wpl|Queueing theory}}, in which [[Burgundie|Burgundians]] came in first for the populations most compliant to queues and first for populations most violent against those who thwart queues. In the study's final remarks, it was noted, "that while not scientifically significant it was observed that a [[Kiravia]]ian, recently arrived in [[Vilauristre]], was first verbally, then physically assaulted by [[Burgundie|Burgundians]] in line at an ice cream parlor. So vicious were the [[Burgundie|Burgundians]] in their assumption that the [[Kiravia]]ian had spit in the very eye of the [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] ethos, that it took 12 police officers 5 minutes to restore order.”

This was typically furthered by the concepts of crusading or colonization that often accompanied the [[Bergendii]] diaspora. A prime example of this sense of a {{wpl|mission to civilize}} following the marauding [[Bergendii]] is [[Yonderre]].

Furthermore, since the [[Bergendii]] were often the minority culture at home or the absolute minority abroad they were fierce believers that they were always the "last of their kind" and must defend their beliefs from the sieging barbarianism of those around them. This was encouraged by clerics following the conversion of [[Levantia|southern Levantia]] to [[Levantine Catholic Church|christianity]]. Ferocious proslytizers the [[Bergendii]] soon conflated their cultural norms and the dogma of the [[Levantine Catholic Church]]. This is most evident in [[Yonderre]].

This continued ''de jure'' until the 19th century when, with the thesis of the [[Two Derics]], finally a sense of formalization was attributed to the singular idea of Burgoignesc culture being one consistent set of ideas, ideals, norms, and assumptions. This all occurred in the context of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] a political construct with the least autonomy of the three kingdoms of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], but also the most illustrious. A strong sense of otherness was pervasive, between rival princlings jockeying at court, between the court and the countryside, between the nobility and the peasantry, between the inland and coastal areas, and between the Latinic core and the [[Bergendii]], Gaelic, and Gothic cultural fringes. The strong sense of cultural unease was pervasive in all of these cultural minorities, but the richer trading ports ruled by the [[Bergendii]] had the capital, education, and agency to act on their malaise. The 19th century philosophical debate about the existence of a [[Two Derics|second type of Deric]] was fought at first in universities, but later spilled into the political sphere as fear mongering republicans used it drive a wedge not only culturally but also between the nobility and the growing working class. This occurred most vehemently in the "Derian border regions" generally understood as the current border between [[Burgundie]] and [[Vorenia]]. By the mid-1800s the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] was a powder keg. A swelling of republican desire and frustration towards the general perception of exclusion lead to massive riots in [[1848]]. Pro and anti-Derian factions lept on the chaos and ignited [[First Fratricide|First]] of [[The Fraternal Wars]].

Families in [[Burgundie]] are typically small, two parent affairs with  [[Bergendii]] families having 1.75 children, [[Feinii]] families have 2.1 children, and immigrant communities vary, but collectively having an average of 3.2 children. In most cases both parents are working and the basic family unit is the nuclear family. Extended families do not typically live together and may even live a world apart.

===Contraception===
Becoming legal in the 1950s as a result of the Burgundian Women’s Liberation movement, guaranteed access to contraception has faded from general discourse because of its wide acceptance and vast popular support. The [[Levantine Catholic Church]] has taken their protests to the pulpit but by the 1980s had lost steam even there as parishioners turned away from the church starting in the 1970s, many young people citing the Churches stance on contraception as a reason.

===Induced Abortion===
Becoming legal in the 1950s as a result of the Burgoignesc Women’s Liberation movement, induced abortion has faded from general discourse because of its wide acceptance and vast popular support. Access is guaranteed by law and is available at most hospitals that provide maternal-fetal medicine. The [[Levantine Catholic Church]] has taken their protests to the pulpit but by the 1980s had lost steam even there as parishioners turned away from the church starting in the 1970s, many young women citing the Churches stance on induced abortion as a reason. In the depths of [[Roln]] and [[Daltmur]] induced abortion is still socially taboo and is least likely to be practiced. These two areas also have the highest levels of unintended pregnancy, death or impairment of the mother and or child due to birthing complications, unmarried motherhood, parents without college degrees, lowest average income, highest gender pay gaps, and lowest levels of savings in [[Burgundie]]. These statistics are often cited as examples of why de-stigmatizing abortion remains important.

The government of [[Burgundie]] does not specify when in the gestation process a fetus becomes a person. The medical community has determined that they will not usually conduct abortions after the conclusion of the second trimester out of consideration of the health of the mother. Due to the flexibility of the law, extreme circumstances may warrant an abortion at any time, even in the third trimester.

====Parenting====
====Parenting====
Because of the small size, intentional nature, and the high likelihood of the presence of two parents of [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] nuclear families, parents take the vast majority of the responsibility of rearing their own children. Traditionalist gender roles are blurred in [[Burgundie]] as roles are more likely assigned on meritocratic terms and through compromise. In approximately 16% of heterosexual [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] families, the male partner is the primary caregiver to the couple’s children. Because of its moderately long mandatory parental leave laws, [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] infants generally have a parent present 24hours for the first 14 months of its life. Following that children are often cared for by parents offsetting schedules when possible and/or seeking childcare alternatives. Wealthier families tending to engage private babysitters/tutors to watch children and edutain them until they are old enough to go to school. These people are highly regulated and often hold a Specialized Baccalaureate in Childcare or higher degrees in their tutoring field. Parents are entrusted with moral education but this is typically reinforced by the [[Levantine Catholic Church|Church]] as 64% of young families reported attending church in the [[2030]] census. Parents also are responsible for creating a foundation of socialization and are encouraged to have their children play with others in their infancy both as a socialization tactic and also as a public health measure to expose them to as many pathogens for early antigen development. This approach is counter-intuitive to many occidental “bubble boy/helicopter” parenting styles, but in the context of a highly developed pediatric medicine sector is has been long proven to be successful in the long term. It does whoever mean that on the surface [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] children appear sicker than many other occidental children, but on average they are healthier adults.

[[Burgundie|Burgundian]] parents also allow their children space to play, explore, and make mistakes in a generally unsupervised environment. This is leads to the early establishment of critical thinking skills and creative problem solving skills in [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] children who become highly capable adults.

Since culture is highly prized in [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] culture parents are encouraged to take their children to cultural events. The government makes admission to museums, theatres, historical attractions, and festivals free to families on a number of occasions throughout the year. This is further supplemented by free tour guides at applicable venues for children so that the parents can either enjoy it at their own pace or some time alone. Museums and historical attractions are particularly popular in the summer and it is common to see the venues packed with children and the cafes packed with parents.

Discipline is an important part of parenting in [[Burgundie]]. Children are expected to be respectful and quiet in public places and breaches of this norm is a reflection on the parents. Therefore, as part of the early socialization process, children are taught the tenants of resecting their elders, honoring their family, and prudence in social situations. There is not as much of a taboo regarding corporeal punishment in public if a child isn’t behaving, but it extends only as far as slapping of the hands and posterior. Thusly, with heavy reinforcement from the [[Levantine Catholic Church|Church]], shame is a powerful aspect of [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] life.
