The Middle seas region, also known as the Middle seas, or the Audonio-Alshari Intercontinental Cultural and Economic Interface Zone (AAICEIZ, pronounced eye-kayz), is the areas of eastern Audonia (eastern Siphost and Daria) and western Alshar around the Aab-e-Farus and the Sea of Kandahar. It is so named because of the two seas it contains surrounded by the continental landmasses of Audonia and Alshar, the Aab-e-Farus and the Sea of Kandahar.
The Middle Seas region does not have legal status but is more of a cultural and economic generalization for the peoples and nations who are in close proximity to each other and are the typical trade partners and political allies or rivals of the other nations in the region.
Throughout history, peoples, cultures, religions, and languages were constantly intermixing in the region. They were forced together through external forces like the Oduniyyad Caliphate and the Burgoignesc colonial empire. Today the nations of the Middle Seas region are totally sovereign and independent of each other, but they share some aspects in common. Many of them, as a vestige of the Burgoignesc colonial empire, use the Burgoignesc language as their language of business and international politics. Some of them use currency pegged to the Taler. And almost all have minority Christian populations dating back to the proselytization of the Bergendii.
Geographic extent
In Alshar it includes the nations and territories of Pursat, Kandara, Tapakdore, Peshabiwar, Pukhgundi, and the Burgoignesc island of Antilles. In Audonia it includes the nations and territories of Bulkh, Umardwal, Zaclaria, and the Burgoignesc islands of Chaukhira and Salarive.
Controversies
The nations of the Middle sea region are the ones most impacted and most vocal about Burgundie's La Garrote, as the ring of Burgundie's overseas provinces exert disproportionate control on the trade and economkes of the region.
