Burgoignesc Civil Service

The Burgoignesc Civil Service (Burg: Servici publique Burgoignesc) is a collective term for a sector of the government composed mainly of career civil service personnel hired rather than elected, whose institutional tenure typically survives transitions of political leadership. A civil service official, also known as a public sergeant (Burg: sargent publique), is a person employed in the public sector by a ministry, department, or agency of the Government of Burgundie, for public sector undertakings. Public sergeants work for the national, constituent, provincial, and local governments, and answer to the government, not a political party.

History

Prior to the unification of Burgundie in 1875, most of the states of Maritime Dericania and their colonies had some form of civil service, but the Duchies of Bourgondi and the Marialianus are the formal lineages of the modern Burgoignesc Civil Service. The Imperial examination system from Daxia was adopted into the Duchy of Marialianus via its colonial holdings of Far East Colony which had in turn been a suzerain kingdom, the Den Cai Kingdom, under the Daxian Zhong Dynasty, from which it inherited the Imperial examination system of selecting civil sergeants and a state bureaucracy, called the khoa bảng in the Danehonger language. When the Marialianii colonial administrators looked to the natives for local administration, they saw the professional cadre of civil sergeants that were in place and replicated that system. This system was also brought back to the Duchy of Marialianus in the middle of the 17th century. It became de rigueur across the Kingdom of Dericania throughout the end of the 17th and early 18th century. It spread throughout the Holy Levantine Empire in the 18th century to varying degrees, but most Levantine Union nations trace their civil services back to this period. It was during this time that the colonial states of Maritime Dericania also sent many emissaries to learn from the Qian dynasty in Daxia. This period, known in Daxia as "the Great Prostration" (1648-1731) was an almost century long period of learning and recognition by Maritime Dericanian powers of the might of Daxia that contrasted with the periods of conflict between these states around this period. The Marialianii colonial island of Ayermer was used by all of the Maritime Dericanian states to interact with Daxia in this period. The island housed civil service academies for the Duchies of Bourgondi, Marialianus, Martilles, and the Principality of Faramount. This led to a fairly common academic background of these professionals regardless of their home country and established a camaraderie across the civil service of the Maritime Dericanian states that made the unification of these countries much easier in the 1860s and 70s.

Modern civil service

After unification, the civil services were combined by the Grand Corps of Civil Service Act of 1876 which formalized the various services into one hierarchical format. As the state formalized itself and the 1870s and 80s, the singular Grand Corps was divided into Grand Corps and Corps for civil sergeants working in the various fields of the government and at the different levels of government (national, constituent country, provincial, county and municipal). The Civil Service Reformation Act of 1903 addressed many of the issues highlighted during the First Great War including bringing the General Staff of the Burgoignesc Security Forces into the civil service. This was abandoned after the Second Great War as too general and cumbersome for the needs of the battlefield commander as the general staff became less ceremonial and more focused on war fighting, in 1945. Much of the efficiency and ability of the modern Burgoignesc state to successfully affect change domestically and abroad has been attributed to the Burgoignesc Civil Service. It is a key institution for the stability and economic and political success of the Burgoignesc state.

Schools

The buildings that had hosted the schools of the civil service academies of the different Maritime Dericanian states were repurposed to be specialized schools for the different types of civil sergeants. There are currently 9 civil service academies in Burgundie, they are:

Hierarchy and structure

Burgoignesc public sergeants are Executive Branch employees, but are not part of the royal institution, they are federal employees. Upon initiation into public service, they swear an allegiance to the Constitution of Burgundie, that they will engage, every day, in faithful service to The Burgundies, and work diligently to root out corruption, fraud, and anti-democratic activity within the government, in the service of the commonwealth. The [[Burgoignesc Civil Service#Corps _and_Grand_Corps|Corps and Grand Corps]] are not hierarchical structures, rather professional affiliations, that must be maintained. After the public sergeant is certified into a Corps or Grand Corps, they apply for a job within a particular ministry, department, or agency. They then report to that work unit.

Pay scale

There are three primary pay scales, the General Schedule (Burg: Calendier General), Senior Executive Service (Burg: Servici Executif Superior), and the Administrative Leadership Salary (Burg: Salari dels caps d'administracion).
