Following the | Following the [[Expulsion of the Protestants]] from [[Levantia]] during the [[Great Confessional War]], [[Burgundie]] was flooded with Protestants and a Duke that was hostile to their presence in [[Burgundie]]. As an attempt to deal with their persistent presence and under pressure from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and the Papacy, the Duke of Burgundie, created the Burgundian Foreign Legion as a way to displace them, but bolster his military power. At its conception in [[1577]], the unit consisted of 1,000 Protestant men with 5 [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] officers.

[[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh]]- The martial tradition of the [[Algosh Republic|Algosh]] has received some outlet in service abroad, leading to a large degree of outmigration of [[Algosh Republic|Algosh]] men, including veterans of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] but also younger men raised in the traditional expectations of [[Algosh Republic|Algosh]] society. Men going abroad for military service typically do so in an extended social regimental unit, with dozens of men arriving together in foreign countries to volunteer for service and eventually settling there together following their service, bringing over any extended family that want to relocate. | |||
