Princess Amelia preparing to rule the world #GurlBOSS

The 21st Century Burgoignesc Power Projection Stratagem (Burg: Stratageme por la Projection della Etat Burgoignesc dans la XXIe siècle) is the external affairs proposal put forward by the Crown Princess of Burgundie, Amelia, for review by top political, military, institutional, and business leaders in Burgundie. In it she proposes how she plans to rule in the event of her father's death, the Great Prince of Burgundie, Pasqual I.

Background

She follows in the footsteps of all members of the Palacin dynasty in creating a Condicio Princeps (Eng. Position of the heir to the throne (Prince)), essentially a whitepaper on how they plan to rule and the priorities they intend to pursue in the initial years of their reign. The Condicio Rex was introduced during the process of selecting a new Great Prince in 1985 when it became clear that August II would not have an issue, and was rather unpopular. The Advisors of the Court of St. Alphador went through an arduous selection process and by the end of 1987 had still not found a suitable candidate and they adjourned for Christmas and New Years' holidays. On their return in mid-January of 1988 they received an unsolicited pamphlet titled Condicio Rex which laid out, in detail, the work of ruling. It was proposed by the head of the Palacin family, Maurice, a descendant of the Palacin-Diteaux Dynasty. Being willing to commit to paper the tenets of his hopeful ascension made him appear to be a more stable candidate. He was interviewed and showed much promise despite being unpolished. He was offered to publish the Condicio Rex for public comment and to be received by the population, which he accepted. The public didn't quite know what to make of it and it was bizarrely received. When he announced he was abdicating 11 years later in favor of his son Pasqual I, due to a rapid decline in health there was a public demand for a Condicio Princeps. While Pasqual I is still in good health and has shown no sign of abdicating, he has publically given Crown Princess Amelia a much more prominent role in government and has given her a couple of high profile task forces regarding modernizing military, particularly naval, strategy.

At his request, she published the Stratageme por la Projection della Etat Burgoignesc dans la XXIe siècle' on May 28th, 2027.

The Stratageme por la Projection della Etat Burgoignesc dans la XXIe siècle was published on May 28th, 2027 as the Condicio Princeps (Eng. Position of the heir to the throne (Prince)) of the heir apparent to the throne of Burgundie, Princess Amelia. It serves as her plan to rule and the priorities she intends to pursue in the initial years of her reign, in the event of her father's death, the Great Prince of Burgundie, Pasqual I. It focuses primarily on her perspectives on:

Diplomatic and Humanitarian Realignment Initiatives

Puertegan Demining Initiative

Main article: Puertegan Demining Initiative On September 13, 2031, Burgundie and Puertego announced an agreement for the Army of Burgundie to send Combat Engineer companies to support the demining effort and provide demining equipment to and train with the 8 demining groups active in Puertego for a period of 5 years. The agreement stipulated that the Army of Burgundie's I Infantry Tacticale would send two Combat Engineer companies to Puertego for 6-month rotations, for a 5-year period. These combat engineer companies will support the demining effort and provide demining equipment to and train with the 8 demining groups active in Puertego.

This support would be provided at no cost to the Puertegoans and written off as humanitarian aid and as training and exercise for the troops of the Army of Burgundie as part of Crown Princess Amelia's 21st Century Burgoignesc Power Projection Stratagem.

Puertego was especially chosen because the Puertogans do not ascribe to the Global Burgieman conspiracy and are ambivalent to the nation and society of Burgundie. It is hoped that this effort, and many like it will be the building blocks of trust between Burgundie and those who feel maligned by its past.

Military Modernization Initiatives

Operation Cavum Fundamentum

  • Fleet modernization, more smaller ships (including aircraft carriers), in smaller strike groups that can more rapidly put highly trained operatives anywhere in the world in less than 48hrs
  • Formalization of island Naval shore facilities as "stone carriers" and integrating them into the fleet defense plan.
  • Reinvestment in flying-boats to increase embarkation/disembarkation optionality, to include submarine flying-boat tenders, sea basing capabilities, and submarine to flying boat personnel and equipment transfer capabilities
  • Reinvestment in ultra-long-range patrol capabilities, particularly Avisos
  • Modernization of coastal defense armament, training, and personnel, right-sizing to match 21st century capabilities
  • Hardening communications and information sharing vectors against cyber vulnerabilities
  • Establishing infrastructure independence capabilities in Expeditionary strike Groups (power ships, food collection and processing, immediate port establishment capabilities, etc.)[1]

Economic Modernization Initiatives
