===Employment===
Because Alcairet's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from biotech to traditional agriculture, opportunities abound for Alcairetis at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around 2.3% for the last decade. The islands' biotech and perfume manufacturing sectors offer stable opportunities for technicians, biologists, pharmacists, data scientists, and chemists. Traditional sectors like mining, fishing, and agriculture provide opportunities for unskilled or lesser educated individuals. The trade and transshipment hubs provide a stable middle ground for people with a moderate education and some skills, in logistics and customs fields, but future automation and trade patterns pose threats. [[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in [[Audonia]]. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since [[Burgundie]] strives for [[Total Economic Engagement]] and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Alcairet benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields.

The advent of [[Containerization]] in the 1960s and 70s and its intensive use during [[Operation Kipling]] made the Port of Genjareb one of the first and largest container ports in the world. The port was rebuilt from [[1966]]-[[1973]] to accommodate a container terminal. The container terminal expanded so rapidly that the adjoining naval base was eventually rebuilt on another part of the island to accommodate the port's rapid expansion. In the modern era the port is used primarily as a customs and transshipment hub for goods leaving [[Audonia]] for the [[Levantine Union]] market. [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Revenue Guard]], and [[Levantine Union|LU Douanes]] both have large inspection and {{wp|customs}} operations in Port of Genjareb. Since [[2013]] there has been a considerable investment by [[Burgundie]] and the [[Levantine Union]] to automate the port to reduce wait times and to prioritize the inspection process to expedite the transshipment process.

Alcairet, colloquially called Gassavelie Nouveau (New Gassavelia), is a Burgoignesc province of the Burgoignesc Overseas Representative Assembly in confluence of the Sea of Istroya and the Aab-e-Farus, in the Barbary Straits in Audonia. It is considered part of La Garrote a chain of Burgoignesc islands that historically allowed the Maritime Dericanian principalities to control the trade routes of western Audonia. Historically Alcairet was a part of the states that ruled the northern coast of Battganuur. It was conquered by the Oduniyyad Caliphate in the 7th century AD. It remained under Oduniyyad control until the fall of that empire in 1514 when it was left to its own devices until the Truffle Races between the coastal states of the Kingdom of Dericania (Burgundie) and Caphiria led to its annexation by Company for the Aid of the Protestants Refugees in 1577. It was administered as part of the Barbary Straits Colony from 1577-1836 when the mainland was lost, then given provincial status in 1875 when the unified nation of Burgundie was formed.

Demographics

Self-reported ethnic origin in Tapakdore (2030)

  Alcaireti (64.2%)
  Persian (17.7%)
  Occidental (6.9%)
  Ebidi (4.6%)
  other/multi-ethnic (6.6%)

Alcairetis are predominantly an admixture of ancient Persian and early modern Bergendii bloodlines. They are culturally Burgoignesc but adhere to a Darian-based æsthetic in architecture and style.

Geography

Geology

Alcairet is an island in the western mouth of the Barbary Straits. The islands are the remains of a land bridge that used to connect the southwestern and northern continental islands of Audonia. At the end of the last ice age when sea levels rose, the lowlands flooded and formed the Barbary Straits.

Climate

Alcairet's prevailing winds are the warm and moist trade winds blowing westerly from the Aab-e-Farus. The province has a tropical wet and dry climate in the east, and semi-arid in the west.

Colonization

Late modern period

Fall of the Burgoignesc colonial empire, massive influx of people fleeing the colonies, men retained to fight in defense of the islands, women and children sent to the Burgoignesc Metropole, thereafter sent to Equatorial Osteicia. This military force known as La Vestige (Aeng: The Vestige) numbered on average 115,000 soldiers and 80,000 sailors between 1805 and 1835 but morale was low and desertion was high as the men wanted to leave with their families. La Vestige was successful in maintaining the islands for their respective states which eventually unified into Burgundie, but the legacy of bondage damaged the view of many Burgoigniacs with Alcairet for the next 50 years.

First Fratricide and Burgoignesc Unification

Alcairet - Duchy of Marialianus Salarive - Duchy of Bourgondi Volunteers to the mainland, minor raiding of each other

La Garrote and Burgoignesc interventionism

Contemporary period

Second Great War

Operation Kipling

Politics and government

Alcairet is part of the Burgoignesc Overseas Representative Assembly's (BORA) Burgoignesc Audonia geographic designation. BORA is a constituent country equivalent of Burgundie with its own assembly, prime minister, budget, and laws. Burgundie's national governmental influence is limited to subsidies, education, and security, however, its financial and cultural institutes cast a long shadow across Alcairet.

Alcairet is a province within Burgoignesc Overseas Representative Assembly with its own semi-elected Governor-Epistates, representative legislative body, and court system.

Alcaireti are Burgoigniacs/Burgoignix with complete civil and economic rights, and citizenship (political rights) under the same federal service criteria as all residents of Burgundie. Burgoignesc is the official language but Arabic and Burgoignesc are both in use. However, there was a time during the 1960s and 1970s when children were forbidden to speak Arabic in schools. Arabic is now taught in schools; it is sometimes even a requirement for employment.

Provincial executive

The provincial executive is the Governor-Epistates. Three candidates are elected by a single transferable vote election held every 5 years, the three candidates are presented to the Court of St. Alphador and the next Governor-Epistates is chosen from these candidates. If the citizenry rejects the selection, a run-off election is held with the remaining two candidates.

Provincial legislature

Like the Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg. La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional, ACAN), The Alcaireti Citizen's Court of the Provincial Assembly is a unicameral legislator. It makes provincial law, has the power of the provincial purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the provincial government. The Assembly has three seats for each province, one for the Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly's Alcairet liaison, 3 for the clergy, 3 seats reserved for municipal leaders, and 3 for a rota of private business leaders. On 6 occasions throughout the year 3 more seats are opened to the public to debate topics that are not on the annual legislative agenda.

Employment

Because Alcairet's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from biotech to traditional agriculture, opportunities abound for Alcairetis at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around 2.3% for the last decade. The islands' biotech and perfume manufacturing sectors offer stable opportunities for technicians, biologists, pharmacists, data scientists, and chemists. Traditional sectors like mining, fishing, and agriculture provide opportunities for unskilled or lesser educated individuals. The trade and transshipment hubs provide a stable middle ground for people with a moderate education and some skills, in logistics and customs fields, but future automation and trade patterns pose threats. Burgundie's high emphasis on education translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in Audonia. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since Burgundie strives for Total Economic Engagement and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Alcairet benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields.

The advent of Containerization in the 1960s and 70s and its intensive use during Operation Kipling made the Port of Genjareb one of the first and largest container ports in the world. The port was rebuilt from 1966-1973 to accommodate a container terminal. The container terminal expanded so rapidly that the adjoining naval base was eventually rebuilt on another part of the island to accommodate the port's rapid expansion. In the modern era the port is used primarily as a customs and transshipment hub for goods leaving Audonia for the Levantine Union market. Burgoignesc Revenue Guard, and LU Douanes both have large inspection and customs operations in Port of Genjareb. Since 2013 there has been a considerable investment by Burgundie and the Levantine Union to automate the port to reduce wait times and to prioritize the inspection process to expedite the transshipment process.

Rail

Alcairet uses Standard gauge, 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) for both freight and passenger rail.

Istroyan Rail- Istroyan Rail (Burg: Istroie Ferroviaire), is the public-private joint-venture, intercity, passenger rail operator in Torlen, Antilles, Alcairet, and Chaukhira. It owns and operates all rail corridors, rights of way, and rolling stock that serve this purpose.

Phone service and internet

Phone and internet service are provided by Great Seas BurgunMobile, Extron Burgundie Mobile, and National Wireless Services, which have 37, 53, and 27 towers respectively across the island. 100% of the island and its population are covered by at least one of the services, National Wireless Services covering the less densely populated and therefore less profitable areas. Copperwire and fiberoptic phone still exists, one or both are required for all municipal and emergency response connections, and people along the route are allowed to buy in, but during emergencies their calls are de-prioritized in favor of emergency response calls, which is the same with mobile service on the island. There is an undersea cable from Salarive to Alcairet and one from Alcairet to Takand Province, in Battganuur.

Highspeed internet service is provided by Great Seas BurgunMobile, and Extron Burgundie Mobile. Residential internet speeds average 2-3 gigabits while commercial speeds are typically higher in the 3-4 gigabit range.

There are also two Global Maritime Distress and Safety System repeaters and a beacon on the islands.
