The ''Autoritat de Navegacion Marin de Burgundie'' (Eng. Burgoignesc Maritime Navigation Administration), colloquially known as the 'Lighthouse Administration', is the agency of the [[Government of Burgundie]] that is the general lighthouse authority for [[Burgundie]]. It was responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of all navigational aid in [[Burgundie]]. Many of the posidofan (Eng. lighthouses) in [[Burgundie]] have been built and maintained by the [[Revenue Guard]] (since 1967) and its predecessors, the Viceimperial Burgoignesc Lighthouse Service (1857–1967). Before the Viceimperial Burgoignesc Lighthouse Service was established, local collectors of customs were responsible for lighthouses. As their importance to navigation has declined the [[Revenue Guard]] has upgraded many lighthouses to also be {{Wp|GPS}} and {{wp|AIS}} beacons. [[Burgundie]] is one of the few nations that still mans lighthouses and maintains the light functionality as part of its maritime navigation service. | |||

''Posidofan'' is [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] word for a lighthouse, stemming from the [[Istroyan]] ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp. Posidofan denoted the difference from its predecessor the ''pila pira'' (Eng. pyre, lit. fire pile) in that is included housing accommodations for a lighthouse keeper. In the 1890s there was an attempt by the Viceimperial Burgoignesc Lighthouse Service to adopt the word ''cabine della pira'' (Eng. Lighthouse), but the traditionalists in the maritime services never used the new word and the last recorded publication of ''cabina della pira'' was on a nautical chart of [[Wintergen]] from [[1904]]. | ''Posidofan'' is [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] word for a lighthouse, stemming from the [[Istroyan]] ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp.

The first maritime navigation "lights" in [[Burgundie#History|Burgoignesc history]] were known as "fotia", the [[Istroyan]] word for fire, circa 3000BCE. These pyres were lit near villages when fishermen were not home before dark. This practice remained unchanged until Latinics set up more permanent settlements in [[Burgundie]] around the year 500CE. At that time, they introduced more permanent structures called "pila pira" (Eng. fire pile). The first ''pila pira'' was built in [[Port Diteaux]] in [[1084]] to facilitate trade with mainland [[Levantia]]. The pyre had a stone base 18 meters tall and platform for a massive pyre 12 meters squared. In [[1175]], a ''pila pira'' was built in [[Vilauristre]]. This enabled the [[Bergendii]] to become early adopters of nocturnal navigation and docking, a technique the doubled the amount of time they could trade, giving them an advantage over other [[Sea of Istroya]] and [[Canete]] powers. | The first maritime navigation "lights" in [[Burgundie#History|Burgoignesc history]] were known as "fotia", the [[Istroyan]] word for fire, circa 3000BCE.

After the [[Fhainnin Civil War]], the lighthouses in Faneria were nationalized by the government; however, in 1954, control of a number of them was returned to the Burgoignesc Lighthouse Administration as part of a new commercial contract. | After the [[Fhainnin Civil War]], the lighthouses in Faneria were nationalized by the government; however, in 1954, control of a number of them was returned to the Burgoignesc Lighthouse Administration as part of a new commercial contract. | ||
