'''Slavery in Great Levantia''' was an important social and economic institution which existed throughout much of [[Great Levantia]]'s existence. Slaves served a wide variety of purposes in ancient Levantine society, with a majority involved in hard labor related to the extraction of natural resources, though a considerable majority served in the role of {{wp|House slave|household slave}} and other urban purposes. Socially, slavery served as a means of control and also as a geopolitical tool to reduce disloyal [[Gaelic people|Gaelic peoples]] in the [[Levantia|Levantine]] hinterland and also as a means to repopulate strategically important regions. In ancient Levantine society, citizens could not be enslaved for any reason nor could an individual who served in the Levantine legions. Slaves were considered property and had no legal protections. Until 50 AD, no legal mechanism allowed for the freeing of slaves, though slaves would increasingly gain legal protections.

The original source for slaves in earliest ancient Levantia were non-citizen convicted criminals and those in debt who would be sentences to various terms of enslavement to an individual or the state as part of a sentence. In time, as [[Great Levantia]] expanded, the institution changed from a primarily penal institution to a broader one, including debtors, criminals, and those captured in war, particularly [[Gaelic people]]. In time, as Great Levantia reached its peak and prosecuted the [[Gallian Wars]], the vast majority of slaves were people captured in war. The [[Gallian Wars]] in particular lead to a historic influx of slaves, transforming the institution into a means of control of indigenous peoples while also transforming the economy to being increasingly reliant on slave labor.
''The Grand Thalattocratic Republican Principality of Burgundie and her Commonwealth'', commonly known as the ''[[Burgoignesc Thalattocracy]]'', the ''Thalattocracy'', or ''Burgundie'', is a nation composed of 4 constituent countries, four self-governing territories, and three colonial possessions. At just over 2.9 million square kilometers (1.1 million sqmi), Burgundie is moderately sized country. With a population of around 380 million people, Burgundie is a highly-density nation with 132 people per square kilometer (342 people/sqmi).
The capital of Burgundie is [[Vilauristre]], located on the [[Ile Burgundie]], which is also the capital country, located just off the coast of southeastern [[Levantia]] across the L'Estrech. The country of [[Nostrestran]] is located along the southeastern coast of [[Levantia]] bound by the [[Sea of Istroya]] in the east, the [[Deric States]] in the north and west, and the Burgoignesc country of [[Faramount]] to the south. [[Faramount]] is adjacent to [[Nostrestran]] along the southeastern coast of [[Levantia]]. It is bound by the [[Sea of Istroya]] in the east and south, the [[Deric States]] in the north, and [[Urcea]] in the west.  [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] is along the confluence of the [[Odoneru Ocean]] and the [[Tainean Sea]]. The four self-governing territories are the [[Alshari Overseas Territories]] (consisting of [[Isle des Coulettes]], [[Antilles]], [[Salarive]], and [[Chaukhira]]), [[Iles Evangeline]] in the northeastern [[Sea of St. John]], [[Wintergen]] in the [[Kilikas Sea]] north of [[Levantia]], and [[Sudmoll]] in the [[Okatian Sea]]. Burgundie’s three colonies are [[Nauta Normand]] in the [[Coscivian Sea]] north of [[Kiravia]], [[Levantx]] in the [[Levantine Ocean]], and [[Argaea]] in the [[Omnium Ocean]] off the coast of [[Australis]].


==Origins and history==
Burgundie and its territories stretch across 19 of the 24 time zones from [[Sudmoll]] in UTC -9 to [[Iles Evangeline]] in UTC +9. The extremely diverse [[Geography of Burgundie|geography, climate, and wildlife]] of Burgundie and its possessions make it one of the world's megadiverse countries.


Most early Levantine slaves were individuals sentenced to limited terms of enslavement as a result of a crime or more commonly due to debt arrears. The earliest instituion of slavery in Great Levantia and its predecessor cities somewhat resembled [[Slavery in Caphiria]] and was viewed mostly as a penal institution rather than a core social and economic one. Captured foreigners were always part of slavery in the greater [[Adonerum|Adonerii civilization]], with many of the earliest [[Latinic people|Latinic]] settlements in [[Levantia]] having [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] slaves in the historical record. Regardless, until the third century BC, convicts and debtors made up the majority of the slave labor force. Although Great Levantia underwent campaigns of conquest throughout much of modern [[Urcea]] and [[Dericania]], enforced enslavement was unevenly applied, and in many cases the Republic-era leaders largely focused on attempting to integrate local conquered people into Levantine society by means other than slavery. Gaelic slaves brought back to the Levantine heartland, if serving as household or agricultural slaves, were subject to a basic form of education. While slaves were looked down upon, they did not have the severe social stigma later associated with slaves, as the fact that many were convicted individuals meant that it could be reasonably anticipated they would be productive members of society at some future point. Captured foreign slaves retained temporary terms of enslavement until around 250 BC, when life terms for foreigners became a legal option. By 150 BC, it became functionally the only term of enslavement allowed to a foreign capture.
Burgundie is a {{wpl|thalassocracy|thalattocracy}} meaning that it considers itself primarily a maritime empire whose land holdings are secondary in importance to its maritime claims. This posture leads Burgundie to take [[Burgundian Security Forces|enforcement]] of open and fair trade across the waterways very seriously and personally. The nation’s head of state, and its executive branch, the Court of St. Alphador, is a {{wpl|Grand prince|great prince}}, a term that recognizes that the Prince of Burgundie is superior in authority all other provincial leaders, including the princes of [[Equitorial Ostiecia]], [[Faramount]], and the Duke of Marialianus who nominally services as the prince of [[Nostrestran]], the constituent principalities within the Thalattocracy. Because it is a {{wpl|Crowned republic}} its hosts a parliament called the Citizens Court of the National Assembly ([[Burgoignesc language||Burg]]: ''La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional'', ACAN). The Assembly is the unicameral legislative body of the nation with representatives from the citizenry, the [[Catholic Church|Church]], the nobility, and the Royal Family. Each member of the council is afforded one vote and the great prince is legally bound to represent the decisions of the National Assembly. The country's third branch of government, the judicial branch, is called the Lazarine Court, and serves as the nation's supreme court.  


The [[Gallian Wars]] are considered by most historians to be a significant turning point in the history of Great Levantine slavery. While foreign captured slaves had become a growing contingent of those in bondage in [[Great Levantia]], the wars imported untold numbers of [[Gaelic people|Gaels]] into bondage. Historical estimates range from as low as tens of thousands to a high of about a million, instantly transforming the Levantine economy as large amounts of cheap labor were suddenly available. The influx of slaves hastened urbanization in Levantia. Due to both changing attitudes and the sheer number of slaves, cultural integration of slaves was no longer viewed as a priority, and consequently slaves began to develop a rapidly divergent culture from their Latinic overlords, blending many Gaelic traditions from different regions and tribes. Post-Gallian Wars slavery also changed the perception of slaves, and they were largely shunned by society and viewed as untouchables. Post-wars domestic slaves retained a degree of the respect that slaves had held in earlier periods but were still largely unable to engage with citizens in any meaningful way.
Burgundie is a founding member of the League of Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, International Maritime Organization, World Food Program, International Red Cross, and other international organizations]]. Burgundie is a highly developed country, with a GDP of $19.1 trillion and a GDPPC of $50,170. It accounts for approximately a 47% of the world’s maritime shipping traffic which has made the country rich. However, since it lacks a diverse native manufacturing base it is susceptible to fluctuations in the global markets. The economy is largely {{wpl|post-industrial}}, characterized by the dominance of services and knowledge-based activities, although the nation's shipyards keep the manufacturing sector world class. Burgundie is the world's largest importer operating on a massive trade deficit that it offsets with its taxes on the shipping industry as well an aggressive international loan policy. Burgundie ranks among the highest nations in several measures of socioeconomic performance, including average wage, human development, per capita GDP, and productivity per person. Burgundie has a sizable [[Burgundian Security Forces|military power]] in the world and is a preeminent political, cultural, and scientific force giving it significant power projection both in real and soft terms.


In what would become [[Fiannria]] as well as areas of [[Carna]], [[Anglei]], and [[Hollona and Diorisia]], slavery was used as a method of control. Rebellious frontier populations of [[Gaelic people|Gaels]] would often be deported en masse in a disproportionate response to unrest or small rebellions and replaced with settlers from the [[The Valley (Urcea)|Great Levantine core region]], often Latinics or Latinied Gaels. The use of deportation in this manner, both in actual incidents as well as in the threat of deportation and enslavement, has been characterized by some historians as an early form of deliberate {{wp|genocide}}. These efforts left significant demographic implications in these areas, not only transplanting new groups of people but also leaving them significant depopulated and open to future [[Gothic people|Gothic]] settlement that would come with Gothic raids and invasion in the fourth century.
Being formally recognized in its current form in [[1875]], Burgundie, as a unified nation, is relatively new. Levantine Burgundie was inhabited by Celtic peoples known as the {{wpl|Picts|Impaxi}} starting around 2800 BC. In the 500s BC the seafaring [[Adonerii civilization]] arrived along the southern coast of [[Levantia]]. In [[158]] AD the [[Latinic]] commander Julian Marcilius Corvus crushed native resistance on the [[Ile Burgundie]], then called Ipar, and established the Bergenddium, a state that lasted until it was broken up in the 1090s. Following the [[Great Confessional War]] the Burgoignesc, Estienne, and Martillian trading companies created massive overseas empires, free from the confines of [[Holy Levantine Empire|Imperial]] rule. The greatest of these empires, the Burgoignesc South Levantive Trading Company started to collapse in on itself from overextension in the 1780s. Around the same time, the enlightenment and scientific revolution and then later the industrial revolution led to a series of anti-monarchist and pro-democratic/social revolts across the southern coast of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. The reactionary powers attempted to crush these revolts and led to the [[First Fratricide]], which mediatized much of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] and formed Burgundie from a number of the southern coastal principalities. The new nation set about a course of standardization, driven by scientists, industrialists, and new governments wanted to be considered a modern nation. By the early 20th century Burgundie was becoming as powerful in continental politics as the whole of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], in its own right. During the [[Second Great War]] [[Burgundie]] fought on the side of the Western Coalition, bringing it into the global spotlight. It was one of the powers, along with its ally [[Urcea]] that fought on all fronts of the [[Second Great War]]. After the end of the [[Second Great War]] Burgundie helped to establish many of the new globalist institutions that cropped up in that era. Burgundie did this as part of its self determined new mission and duty, as it sought ot find a place for itself in the post-Great War world. Burgundie set out to protect the liberties and freedoms it held dear, for all peoples around the world. This Occidental view of what the basic human rights were and its role in upholding them led to a series of [[Operation Kipling|anti-communist wars]] in [[Audonia]] and [[Alshar]]. This cotributed to and coincided with an urban and cultural revolution across the Thalattocracy that changed the country from a moderately authoritarian and reactionary holdover from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] to a modern liberal {{wpl|Crowned republic}}. and the advent of {{wpl|Containerization}} both of which brought Burgundie into the 21st century at full tilt.


Although Great Levantine conquests began to slow and come to a halt in the first century AD and immediate aftermath of the [[Gallian Wars]], foreign slaves continued to be readily available in the first century. Great Levantine armies establishing client kingdoms and other subordinate relationships with [[Gothic people|Goths]] as well as what would become [[Caergwynn]] and [[Faneria]] captured thousands of slaves, sometimes in a single campaign, for sale back home. Additionally, local client kings and other polities would sell groups of captured enemies to the Levantines; the [[Ninerivers Confederation]] and [[Imperium Vandar Orientalis|Vandar Empire]] would conquer and deport Gothic people living in northern Levantia to Great Levantia. While private slave trading was illegal, it was often difficult to enforce. Parties of raiders would often use the [[Vandarch]] as a method of raiding and capturing people from [[Gothica]] for sale in modern [[Fiannria]] as well as [[Hollona and Diorisia]].  
==Etymology==
Burgundie derives its name from the ''brugan'' (Eng. {{wpl|Erica|spring heather}}), a {{wpl|calcifuge}} that thrives in the {{wpl|andisol}} of the [[Belrac caldera]]'s higher elevations on the [[Ile Burgundie]]. In the classical era the heather was considered the "lighthouse at the end of Istroyan civilization" while there were additional settlements by the [[Istroyan civlization]] further north in eastern [[Levantia]] they never achieved the status of the principal core city-states that dotted northeastern [[Sarpedon]] and southern [[Levantia]].


A major slave revolt in [[Tromarine]] in 150 AD lead to a mixed response by Levantine authorities. On the one hand, new laws were introduced against runaway slaves and a period of generally harsher enforcement was inaugurated against unruly and potentially rebellious slaves. On the other hand, new pathways to manumission and a maximum term of enslavement were both introduced in the 150s, although the latter was undermined inasmuch as an individual slave could face multiple consecutive terms of enslavement. Most historians believe more slaves were freed or gained their own freedom between 150 and 200 AD than at any other previous time in Levantine history. It was also made illegal for debtors to be sold into slavery in 178 AD, changing slavery to an almost exclusively foreign or foreign-descendant institution.
The spelling has been corrupted over three major linguistic shifts, suffering degradation in each of these transliterative {{Wpl|phono-semantic matching}} occurrences. While the heather itself is still spelled and pronounced brug- (Burg: le brugose), the nation itself lost its direct connection to the heather and was no longer linguistically tied to it when Latin became the lingua franca of the area around 100 BC.


===Transition to serfdom===
==Economy==
Burgundie is a founding member of a number of global the League of Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, International Maritime Organization, World Food Program, International Red Cross, and other international organizations. Burgundie is a highly developed country, with a GDP of $19.1 trillion and a GDPPC of $50,170. It accounts for approximately a 47% of the world’s maritime shipping traffic which has made the country rich. However, since it lacks a diverse native manufacturing base it is susceptible to fluctuations in the global markets.


As the prospect of foreign conquests came to a definitive end by the latter half of the 3rd century and as slaves gained increasing legal protection and possibility of manumission, slaves became harder to procure and more expensive to acquire. Accordingly, many of the large landowners of Great Levantia began the transition from slavery to free Levantine citizens from cities, particularly with respect to agricultural activities. This process precipitated a period of several centuries where cities would become largely depopulated, also reducing the need for large staffs of household slaves in urban homes of the elite. The slow transition to serfdom which began around this period not only lead to major economic changes but lead to a concentration of existing slaves to be sent to mines. Following centuries of improvement with respect to their legal position, the material conditions of slaves suddenly plummeted and life expectancies grew significantly shorter.
Burgundie is the world's largest importer operating on a massive trade deficit that it offsets with its taxes on the shipping industry as well an aggressive international loan policy. Burgundie ranks among the highest nations in several measures of socioeconomic performance, including average wage, human development, per capita GDP, and productivity per person.


The introduction of [[Catholic Church|Christianity]] as both a legal and eventually official institution was another blow to slavery. Not only did Christian morality require humane treatment of slaves and a general suspicion of the institution, but it also lead to the rapid decline of [[Religion in Great Levantia|ancient Levantine religion]]. As many temples began to close or be forcefully converted into Churches, the primarily slave-based industry of temple prostitution waned considerably in the 4th century.
Burgundie is a highly developed, {{wpl|post-industrial}}, {{wpl|Tertiary sector of the economy|agro}}-{{wpl|Tertiary sector of the economy|services}} economy. Services, particularly maritime logistics, medical, and education make us the largest sector of financial activity. However, {{wpl|Agribusiness}} constitute the largest sector by number of employee. Based in the [[Latinic]] concept of {{wpl|latifundium}}, and later colonial {{wpl|patroon}}ships, large-scale, commercial agriculture is cornerstone of the Burgoignesc economic engine both in the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] and its overseas territories.


===Functional end of slavery===
The public sector
===Econonmic history===
During the 17th and 18th century, due to the technological explosion of the {{wpl|Renaissance|Late Renaissance}}, later {{wpl|Enlightenment}}, and its resulting [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire|colonial empire]], Burgundie had a preeminent role in the global economy, accounting for 5.1% of the world's GDP in [[1770]]. The loss of much of its [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire|colonial empire]], lagging behind in the adoption of industrialization in the 19th century, and the cost of fighting both the [[First Great War|First]] and [[Second Great War]]s as well as [[Operation Kipling]] further weakened Burgundie's relative position in the 20th century. Despite a relative decline in its global dominance, in the 21st century Burgundie retains the ability to project significant power and influence around the world.


Multiple factors lead to the functional end of slavery in [[Levantia]]. Primarily, the slow collapse of [[Great Levantia]] lead to severe reductions in trade and advanced economic activity, making large-scale state sponsored mines no longer viable to operate. Slaves were also increasingly hard to find and the institution of slavery largely lost its raison d'etre as slave labor became nearly as expensive as labor among freemen and urban citizens. The number of slaves further declined with the collapse of centralized state authority and law and order, as incidents of runaway slaves never being recovered became ubiquitous in the fifth century historical record. [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] morality, which was becoming the primary social mores of Levantine society by the fifth century, increasingly looked down upon the institution as theologians and practitioners alike questioned fellow children of God being held in bondage. The Levantine urban collapse also lead to the end of the institution of household slaves during the fifth century, as most major urban palaces were abandoned or turned into fortified manors with an emphasis on food self-sufficiency, and many remaining household slaves were transitioned into freemen tenants on these estates. With social attitudes turning against it, slaves becoming rare commodities, and the end of field, mine,  and domestic slaves as well as temple prostitutes, the institution faded into obscurity with the end of Great Levantia in the beginning of the sixth century. Some forms of slavery continued to exist under powerful or wealthy local rulers who could subjugate neighboring villages in the post-Levantine era, but by the turn of the seventh century slaves were vanishingly rare in Levantia. The rare exception were galley slaves, which continued in relatively robust form for centuries to come. New laws implemented by both late Great Levantia and the [[Catholic Church]], however, limited the term of service of galley slaves, and most galley slaves - either captured or sentenced to the status due to indebtedness - could expect to spend a majority of their lives as free persons. [[Social_class_in_Urcea#Serf|Serfdom]] would become the more common form of forced labor in [[Urcea]] and the rest of [[Levantia]], but had strict legal protections and generally could not be bought and sold apart from the land on which they lived and worked.
In the 18th century, Burgundie was among the first nations to industrialise.  


Most former slaves and their descendants would go on to become [[Social_class_in_Urcea#Freeman|freemen]] within the system of social class in [[Urcea]], ironically being considered above the class of serfs who primarily descended from urban Levantine citizens.

During the medieval period the lands that make up the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] were controlled by princelings of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. They has very little in common and each perused their own destiny.
===Early Modern History in Burgundie===
Main article: [[History of Dericania]]
During the early modern period the lands that make up the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] were still controlled by princelings of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. They has very little in common but they began to express common themes that began to differentiate them from the remainder of [[Dericania]]. This is especially true of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]], a neolog applied to the colonial enterprises of the Duchies of Martilles, Marialianus, and Burgundie.


Apart from the use of galley slaves, slavery was exceedingly rare in [[Levantia]] following the seventh century, with some estimates projecting less than 4,000 slaves of all types in bondage by the year 800 AD. The early [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]], established in the mid 8th century, discouraged the use of slaves. Slavery of Christians was formally banned in the Empire in 903 AD. Slavery against non-Christian groups - such as [[Gothic people]] - was subsequently discouraged and the legal terms of enslavement significantly limited. Galley slavery was limited to three year terms in 1045. Besides galley slaves, historians believe that there were no slaves within the Empire by 1100.
===Late Modern History in Burgundie===
Main article: [[History of Burgundie]]
Burgundie emerged from the [[First Fratricide]] unifying many of the coastal states of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] and sought its own future, leaving the kingdom all together. It became a moderate player in global politics but continued the trend of its predecessor states of being a major global shipping and trade partner. It was a primary belligerent in the [[First Great War|First]] and [[Second Great War]]s as well as a co-founding member of many of the global aid organizations that were convened as a result.

Burgundie has been seen as a historical aggressor with a long history of [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonialism]], [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Slavery|purveyor of chattel slavery]], [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Cultural_hegemony|military and economic interventionist paternalism]], and Christian proselytization. This has led to a number of global conspiracies regarding Burgundie from [[Global Burgieman]] to [[Levantine Creep]], and unflattering characterizations like [[Brother Auggie]]. This attitude colors both Burgundie's relations with the world and the world's perception of Burgoignesc intent. In this post-[[Operation Kipling]] era, specifically under the [[List_of_Rulers_of_Burgundie#Palacin_Dynasty|Palacin Dynasty]] ([[Pasqual I]] and his heir apparent [[Crown Princess Amelia]]) the country has taken a much softer tone with recognition of its role in the aforementioned grievances. Since the 1990s the country, spearheaded by the Palacin family has sought to focus on the role Burgundie has played in the modernization of the world since the end of the [[Second Great War]] ([[containerization]]), the minimalization of death and suffering across the globe, the multi-lateral approach the country now takes with its participation in transnational organizations like the [[League of Nations]] and the [[Levantine Union]], the efforts to not suppress economic growth in its post-colonial countries, but to develop healthy, wealthy, global markets. These efforts are recognized as just the beginning of a long period of global healing that Burgundie needs to lead. They have proven to be fruitful in the short term as the opening and expanding of markets, both economic and of academic, have given Burgundie access to incredible human and financial capital the world over.


====Mine slave====
Burgundie has historically sided with the southern [[Levantia|Levantine]] powerhouse [[Urcea]] in global politics. However, Burgundie is the first to extend the olive branch in the name of open commerce and global stabilization which it has done with both [[Caphiria]] and [[Kiravia]]. Burgundie currently maintains good relations with all three countries nations and is sometimes used as an intermediary between the three superpowers when tension is on the verge of breaking out into violence, or when tensions are coming down and a de-escalation is sought. However, Burgundie is attached at the hip to [[Urcea]] through history, culture, and institutions like the [[Levantine Union]] and [[Caphiria]] and [[Kiravia]] see Burgundie through that lens.
Mine slavery involved slaves, mostly on [[Tromarine]] but across [[Great Levantia]], brought in specifically for the purpose of mining some type of resource. Only slaves with life terms of enslavement could be used in the mines. The most brutal form of slavery involving long hours of toil, extreme repression, and significant physical danger, life expectancy for mine slavery was far, far below every other kind of slavery. Slaves sent to the mines often were anticipated to be fit for work for about eleven months, after which time it was anticipated they would have died or be so physically debilitated that they were no longer fit for labor of any kind. Accordingly, unlike most other types of slaves, mine slaves often were not able to reproduce to the point of creating a unique slave culture or even replenish the labor force, and the vast majority of mine slaves were imported for use rather than having been born into it. Mine slavery was most common in [[Tromarine]], which had the highest per capita percentage of slaves of any location in [[Great Levantia]]. Mines in Tromarine were responsible for a large quantity of tin used in [[Sarpedon]] and [[Levantia]], making conditions especially brutal, leading to a large revolt of mine slaves in 150 AD. Following the revolt, mine slavery entered a minor decline but continued until complex economic activity and trade were no longer possible with the impending collapse of [[Great Levantia]]. Most state-operated mines ceased function around 450 AD, with mine slavery abruptly coming to an end after that date with limited examples of small, private run slave-operating mines continuing on for several decades.


====Temple slave====
With the remainder of the [[Occidental world]] and the regional powers of [[Corumm]] and [[Stenza]], Burgundie maintains good and open relationships. Burgundie serves with many of these nations on global institutions like the [[League of Nations]] but not in permanent seat status, as well as organizations like the Red Cross, the World Bank, etc. Burgundie is particularly close/allied to the nations of [[Arcerion]], [[Cartadania]], [[Pelaxia]], [[Paulastra]], and [[Yonderre]].


====Galley slave====
====Territory disputes====
Burgundie has two low-intensity but open territory disputes. They are over ownership of [[Sudmoll Island Conflicts|Sudmoll]] and [[Stewardship of Wintergen (government-in-exile)|Wintergen]].
=====Sudmoll controversy=====
Main article: [[Sudmoll Island Conflicts]]


Galley slaves were the most common form of slaves in what would become the [[Creagmer republics|Creagmer mercantile cities]] as well as on [[Crotona]]; they were the second most common type of slave in [[Tromarine]] behind mine slaves.
Following its independence in [[1921]], [[Stenza]] laid claim to the Burgoignesc island of [[Sudmoll]]. On a number of politically advantageous occasions, the [[Stenzan Armed Forces]] have been dispatched to occupy the island often leading to an escalation of tension between [[Stenza]] and Burgundie. There have also been a number of flashpoints between [[Stenza]]n and [[Sudmoll]]ese fishing and merchant fleets that have had to be broken up by the coast guards of both countries. To this day the matter remains unsettled with both nations claiming the island, but [[Stenza]]'s last concerted effort to exert control over the island was in [[1984]].


====Cartographic slave====
=====Wintergen controversy=====
Main article: [[Stewardship of Wintergen (government-in-exile)]]


The rarest form of slave were the so-called "cartographic slaves". These slaves were often skilled hunters, trackers, or scouts from both [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] and [[Gothic people|Gothic]] tribes living on the borders of [[Great Levantia]]. These individuals, kept apart from general slaves, were subject to the general status of enslavement but otherwise allowed relatively modest living comforts. Their responsibility was creating usable campaign maps, charts, and compiled list of other useful geographic information for use by Great Levantia's legions, allowing them to traverse in lands outside the realm. While the information collected by these slaves was often extremely detailed and useful, many slaves intentionally included minor errors in the maps in order to leave Levantine forces at a disadvantage. Cartographic slaves, despite their relatively high standing, were subject to the harshest penalties and punishments if found to be altering their maps or otherwise withholding information. Cartographic slaves who mislead Levantine forces were often publicly disembowled while living in the [[Levantine Forum]]. The practice was discontinued following a number of major military setbacks in [[Gothica]] in the late third centuries, although historians are unclear if cartographic information was responsible or if cartographic slavery was used as an excuse to cover for military leadership.

==Legacy==
Main article: [[Culture in Burgundie]]
[[Great Levantia|Great Levantine]] slave practices, in both where they took slaves from and where they sold or settled them, had massive, permanent, demographic impacts on [[Levantia]]. A prominent example can be found in [[The Valley (Urcea)|Urcea's Valley region]], which had almost entirely driven out or assimilated its indigineous [[Gaelic people]] into [[Latinic people|Latinic culture]] by around 150 BC with the exception of remote mountain and forested regions far from the Valley's main urban area around the [[Urce River]]. The massive arrival of slaves from the [[Gallian War]] reestablished Gaelic cultural traditions and mores in the urban areas of the Valley, setting up later cultural integration. Many historians have suggested Levantine slavery was a primary driver behind the establishment of the [[Urcean people]], and deportations from [[Tromarine]] almost certainly was the significant event which preceded the establishment of the [[Garán people]] of [[Carolina]].

The Grand Thalattocratic Republican Principality of Burgundie and her Commonwealth, commonly known as the Burgoignesc Thalattocracy, the Thalattocracy, or Burgundie, is a nation composed of 4 constituent countries, four self-governing territories, and three colonial possessions. At just over 2.9 million square kilometers (1.1 million sqmi), Burgundie is moderately sized country. With a population of around 380 million people, Burgundie is a highly-density nation with 132 people per square kilometer (342 people/sqmi). The capital of Burgundie is Vilauristre, located on the Ile Burgundie, which is also the capital country, located just off the coast of southeastern Levantia across the L'Estrech. The country of Nostrestran is located along the southeastern coast of Levantia bound by the Sea of Istroya in the east, the Deric States in the north and west, and the Burgoignesc country of Faramount to the south. Faramount is adjacent to Nostrestran along the southeastern coast of Levantia. It is bound by the Sea of Istroya in the east and south, the Deric States in the north, and Urcea in the west. Equitorial Ostiecia is along the confluence of the Odoneru Ocean and the Tainean Sea. The four self-governing territories are the Alshari Overseas Territories (consisting of Isle des Coulettes, Antilles, Salarive, and Chaukhira), Iles Evangeline in the northeastern Sea of St. John, Wintergen in the Kilikas Sea north of Levantia, and Sudmoll in the Okatian Sea. Burgundie’s three colonies are Nauta Normand in the Coscivian Sea north of Kiravia, Levantx in the Levantine Ocean, and Argaea in the Omnium Ocean off the coast of Australis.

Burgundie and its territories stretch across 19 of the 24 time zones from Sudmoll in UTC -9 to Iles Evangeline in UTC +9. The extremely diverse geography, climate, and wildlife of Burgundie and its possessions make it one of the world's megadiverse countries.

Burgundie is a thalattocracy meaning that it considers itself primarily a maritime empire whose land holdings are secondary in importance to its maritime claims. This posture leads Burgundie to take enforcement of open and fair trade across the waterways very seriously and personally. The nation’s head of state, and its executive branch, the Court of St. Alphador, is a great prince, a term that recognizes that the Prince of Burgundie is superior in authority all other provincial leaders, including the princes of Equitorial Ostiecia, Faramount, and the Duke of Marialianus who nominally services as the prince of Nostrestran, the constituent principalities within the Thalattocracy. Because it is a Crowned republic its hosts a parliament called the Citizens Court of the National Assembly (|Burg: La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional, ACAN). The Assembly is the unicameral legislative body of the nation with representatives from the citizenry, the Church, the nobility, and the Royal Family. Each member of the council is afforded one vote and the great prince is legally bound to represent the decisions of the National Assembly. The country's third branch of government, the judicial branch, is called the Lazarine Court, and serves as the nation's supreme court.

Burgundie is a founding member of the League of Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, International Maritime Organization, World Food Program, International Red Cross, and other international organizations]]. Burgundie is a highly developed country, with a GDP of $19.1 trillion and a GDPPC of $50,170. It accounts for approximately a 47% of the world’s maritime shipping traffic which has made the country rich. However, since it lacks a diverse native manufacturing base it is susceptible to fluctuations in the global markets. The economy is largely post-industrial, characterized by the dominance of services and knowledge-based activities, although the nation's shipyards keep the manufacturing sector world class. Burgundie is the world's largest importer operating on a massive trade deficit that it offsets with its taxes on the shipping industry as well an aggressive international loan policy. Burgundie ranks among the highest nations in several measures of socioeconomic performance, including average wage, human development, per capita GDP, and productivity per person. Burgundie has a sizable military power in the world and is a preeminent political, cultural, and scientific force giving it significant power projection both in real and soft terms.

Being formally recognized in its current form in 1875, Burgundie, as a unified nation, is relatively new. Levantine Burgundie was inhabited by Celtic peoples known as the Impaxi starting around 2800 BC. In the 500s BC the seafaring Adonerii civilization arrived along the southern coast of Levantia. In 158 AD the Latinic commander Julian Marcilius Corvus crushed native resistance on the Ile Burgundie, then called Ipar, and established the Bergenddium, a state that lasted until it was broken up in the 1090s. Following the Great Confessional War the Burgoignesc, Estienne, and Martillian trading companies created massive overseas empires, free from the confines of Imperial rule. The greatest of these empires, the Burgoignesc South Levantive Trading Company started to collapse in on itself from overextension in the 1780s. Around the same time, the enlightenment and scientific revolution and then later the industrial revolution led to a series of anti-monarchist and pro-democratic/social revolts across the southern coast of the Kingdom of Dericania. The reactionary powers attempted to crush these revolts and led to the First Fratricide, which mediatized much of the Kingdom of Dericania and formed Burgundie from a number of the southern coastal principalities. The new nation set about a course of standardization, driven by scientists, industrialists, and new governments wanted to be considered a modern nation. By the early 20th century Burgundie was becoming as powerful in continental politics as the whole of the Kingdom of Dericania, in its own right. During the Second Great War Burgundie fought on the side of the Western Coalition, bringing it into the global spotlight. It was one of the powers, along with its ally Urcea that fought on all fronts of the Second Great War. After the end of the Second Great War Burgundie helped to establish many of the new globalist institutions that cropped up in that era. Burgundie did this as part of its self determined new mission and duty, as it sought ot find a place for itself in the post-Great War world. Burgundie set out to protect the liberties and freedoms it held dear, for all peoples around the world. This Occidental view of what the basic human rights were and its role in upholding them led to a series of anti-communist wars in Audonia and Alshar. This cotributed to and coincided with an urban and cultural revolution across the Thalattocracy that changed the country from a moderately authoritarian and reactionary holdover from the Holy Levantine Empire to a modern liberal Crowned republic. and the advent of Containerization both of which brought Burgundie into the 21st century at full tilt.

Etymology

Burgundie derives its name from the brugan (Eng. spring heather), a calcifuge that thrives in the andisol of the Belrac caldera's higher elevations on the Ile Burgundie. In the classical era the heather was considered the "lighthouse at the end of Istroyan civilization" while there were additional settlements by the Istroyan civlization further north in eastern Levantia they never achieved the status of the principal core city-states that dotted northeastern Sarpedon and southern Levantia.

The spelling has been corrupted over three major linguistic shifts, suffering degradation in each of these transliterative phono-semantic matching occurrences. While the heather itself is still spelled and pronounced brug- (Burg: le brugose), the nation itself lost its direct connection to the heather and was no longer linguistically tied to it when Latin became the lingua franca of the area around 100 BC.

Economy

Burgundie is a founding member of a number of global the League of Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, International Maritime Organization, World Food Program, International Red Cross, and other international organizations. Burgundie is a highly developed country, with a GDP of $19.1 trillion and a GDPPC of $50,170. It accounts for approximately a 47% of the world’s maritime shipping traffic which has made the country rich. However, since it lacks a diverse native manufacturing base it is susceptible to fluctuations in the global markets.

Burgundie is the world's largest importer operating on a massive trade deficit that it offsets with its taxes on the shipping industry as well an aggressive international loan policy. Burgundie ranks among the highest nations in several measures of socioeconomic performance, including average wage, human development, per capita GDP, and productivity per person.

Burgundie is a highly developed, post-industrial, agro-services economy. Services, particularly maritime logistics, medical, and education make us the largest sector of financial activity. However, Agribusiness constitute the largest sector by number of employee. Based in the Latinic concept of latifundium, and later colonial patroonships, large-scale, commercial agriculture is cornerstone of the Burgoignesc economic engine both in the Burgoignesc Metropole and its overseas territories.

The public sector

Econonmic history

During the 17th and 18th century, due to the technological explosion of the Late Renaissance, later Enlightenment, and its resulting colonial empire, Burgundie had a preeminent role in the global economy, accounting for 5.1% of the world's GDP in 1770. The loss of much of its colonial empire, lagging behind in the adoption of industrialization in the 19th century, and the cost of fighting both the First and Second Great Wars as well as Operation Kipling further weakened Burgundie's relative position in the 20th century. Despite a relative decline in its global dominance, in the 21st century Burgundie retains the ability to project significant power and influence around the world.

In the 18th century, Burgundie was among the first nations to industrialise.

History

Main article: History of Burgundie

Classical History in Burgundie

Main article: Great Levantine Province of Brugandia In the classical period the lands that make up the Burgoignesc Metropole were predominantly controlled by city-states of the Ancient Istroyan civilization or as a province of Great Levantia.

Medieval History in Burgundie

Main article: History of Dericania During the medieval period the lands that make up the Burgoignesc Metropole were controlled by princelings of the Kingdom of Dericania. They has very little in common and each perused their own destiny.

Early Modern History in Burgundie

Main article: History of Dericania During the early modern period the lands that make up the Burgoignesc Metropole were still controlled by princelings of the Kingdom of Dericania. They has very little in common but they began to express common themes that began to differentiate them from the remainder of Dericania. This is especially true of the Burgoignesc colonial empire, a neolog applied to the colonial enterprises of the Duchies of Martilles, Marialianus, and Burgundie.

Late Modern History in Burgundie

Main article: History of Burgundie Burgundie emerged from the First Fratricide unifying many of the coastal states of the Kingdom of Dericania and sought its own future, leaving the kingdom all together. It became a moderate player in global politics but continued the trend of its predecessor states of being a major global shipping and trade partner. It was a primary belligerent in the First and Second Great Wars as well as a co-founding member of many of the global aid organizations that were convened as a result.

Main article: Foreign Relations of Burgundie

Burgundie has been seen as a historical aggressor with a long history of colonialism, purveyor of chattel slavery, military and economic interventionist paternalism, and Christian proselytization. This has led to a number of global conspiracies regarding Burgundie from Global Burgieman to Levantine Creep, and unflattering characterizations like Brother Auggie. This attitude colors both Burgundie's relations with the world and the world's perception of Burgoignesc intent. In this post-Operation Kipling era, specifically under the Palacin Dynasty (Pasqual I and his heir apparent Crown Princess Amelia) the country has taken a much softer tone with recognition of its role in the aforementioned grievances. Since the 1990s the country, spearheaded by the Palacin family has sought to focus on the role Burgundie has played in the modernization of the world since the end of the Second Great War (containerization), the minimalization of death and suffering across the globe, the multi-lateral approach the country now takes with its participation in transnational organizations like the League of Nations and the Levantine Union, the efforts to not suppress economic growth in its post-colonial countries, but to develop healthy, wealthy, global markets. These efforts are recognized as just the beginning of a long period of global healing that Burgundie needs to lead. They have proven to be fruitful in the short term as the opening and expanding of markets, both economic and of academic, have given Burgundie access to incredible human and financial capital the world over.

Burgundie has historically sided with the southern Levantine powerhouse Urcea in global politics. However, Burgundie is the first to extend the olive branch in the name of open commerce and global stabilization which it has done with both Caphiria and Kiravia. Burgundie currently maintains good relations with all three countries nations and is sometimes used as an intermediary between the three superpowers when tension is on the verge of breaking out into violence, or when tensions are coming down and a de-escalation is sought. However, Burgundie is attached at the hip to Urcea through history, culture, and institutions like the Levantine Union and Caphiria and Kiravia see Burgundie through that lens.

Burgundie serves with many of these nations on global institutions like the League of Nations but not in permanent seat status, as well as organizations like the Red Cross, the World Bank, etc. Burgundie is particularly close/allied to the nations of Arcerion, Cartadania, Pelaxia, Paulastra, and Yonderre.

Territory disputes

Burgundie has two low-intensity but open territory disputes. They are over ownership of Sudmoll and Wintergen.

Following its independence in 1921, Stenza laid claim to the Burgoignesc island of Sudmoll. On a number of politically advantageous occasions, the Stenzan Armed Forces have been dispatched to occupy the island often leading to an escalation of tension between Stenza and Burgundie. There have also been a number of flashpoints between Stenzan and Sudmollese fishing and merchant fleets that have had to be broken up by the coast guards of both countries. To this day the matter remains unsettled with both nations claiming the island, but Stenza's last concerted effort to exert control over the island was in 1984.
