''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 People's Republic of Puertego commonly called Puertego, is a Unitary Marxist-Leninist Presidential Republic currently under the rule of President Matthias Torres the leader since 2001 though since the enacting of various capitalist policies the legitimacy of them calling themselves Marxist-Leninist has been questioned. It is bordered on the north by [[Pelaxia]] and [[Volonia]] and on the west by the Natiserve Bay. Puertego covers 1,185,182 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 65 million. Puertego comprises of 12 states and 1 territory.
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 of Burgundie|geography, climate, and wildlife]] of Burgundie and its possessions make it one of the world's megadiverse countries.


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.  
Puertego was first a collection of tribes that inhabited its modern-day borders and the land around it until the first empire of the region came to be. Puertego was originally colonized by [[Caphiria]] under the name of Puerto Negro because of the large number of slaves moving through and that were in the colony, things got better slowly with the numbers of slaves slowly decreasing until the outlawing of slavery in 1811 where all of them were freed. However, Puertego was still largely impoverished and ruled over my oppressive colonial overlords who brutally repressed the people when they demanded change and treated their newly freed workers almost the same as they did when they were slaves causing multiple large-scale revolts until the country finally gained its independence in a war against Pelaxia in 1904. After independence the country fell into the sphere of influence of the Caphirians who installed multiple puppet dictators to run the country as a banana republic with conditions barely improving for the workers, corruption running rampant, and any industry that wasn't mining or agriculture going bankrupt. The country stayed like this until 1958 where multiple protests and revolts finally got the government to begin transitioning to democracy, however both Urcea and the Caphirians almost immediately began to meddle in the country's elections with the Puertegan Conservative Party and the Puertegan Labor Party cyclically taking power and cracking down on the other when they gained power until 1972 when the Caphirian government authorized a military coup where a fascist dictator took power, banning political parties until he was overthrown by a communist revolution in 1980 with the country being ruled as a one party state until 1992 where a civil war between the hardline Communist Red Flag party and the reformist Communist White Flag Party broke out ending in 1997 when the Communist White Flag party won and assumed control of the government. The Communist White Flag party is still the incumbent party in the nation's government and them having lost either their majority in parliament or a presidential election for one of their candidates, President Matthias Torres has served as the President of Puertego for 22 years as a member of the party and has taken large measures to liberalize the country's economy preventing stagnation.


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.
Puertego is a regional and middle power in international politics. Puertego is considered a developing, lower-middle income, and newly industrialized country, a large portion of their economy is made by natural resources and industry. The government of Puertego is considered a hybrid regime which maintains elections that are regular and free though not fair while also having strong authoritarian powers such as the ability to crack down on freedoms such as speech, assembly, association, and the press with the country constantly being ranked one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists having at least 400 actively serving prison time for defamation charges pressed on them by the government and having an extremely poor record with human rights including torture, arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial executions, and unfair trials among many others along with massive levels of corruption and censorship. The country tries to maintain a balanced policy in foreign affairs to try and keep trade good with all countries, making concessions to them without swinging too far to one side.


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.
Puertego is a member of the [[League of Nations]].


==Etymology==
==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]].
''Why is your country called what it is? What is the source of that word or phrase?''
 
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.
 
==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, {{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.

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

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]].

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.
 
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.
 
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]].
 
====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]]
 
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]].

The People's Republic of Puertego commonly called Puertego, is a Unitary Marxist-Leninist Presidential Republic currently under the rule of President Matthias Torres the leader since 2001 though since the enacting of various capitalist policies the legitimacy of them calling themselves Marxist-Leninist has been questioned. It is bordered on the north by Pelaxia and Volonia and on the west by the Natiserve Bay. Puertego covers 1,185,182 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 65 million. Puertego comprises of 12 states and 1 territory.

Puertego was first a collection of tribes that inhabited its modern-day borders and the land around it until the first empire of the region came to be. Puertego was originally colonized by Caphiria under the name of Puerto Negro because of the large number of slaves moving through and that were in the colony, things got better slowly with the numbers of slaves slowly decreasing until the outlawing of slavery in 1811 where all of them were freed. However, Puertego was still largely impoverished and ruled over my oppressive colonial overlords who brutally repressed the people when they demanded change and treated their newly freed workers almost the same as they did when they were slaves causing multiple large-scale revolts until the country finally gained its independence in a war against Pelaxia in 1904. After independence the country fell into the sphere of influence of the Caphirians who installed multiple puppet dictators to run the country as a banana republic with conditions barely improving for the workers, corruption running rampant, and any industry that wasn't mining or agriculture going bankrupt. The country stayed like this until 1958 where multiple protests and revolts finally got the government to begin transitioning to democracy, however both Urcea and the Caphirians almost immediately began to meddle in the country's elections with the Puertegan Conservative Party and the Puertegan Labor Party cyclically taking power and cracking down on the other when they gained power until 1972 when the Caphirian government authorized a military coup where a fascist dictator took power, banning political parties until he was overthrown by a communist revolution in 1980 with the country being ruled as a one party state until 1992 where a civil war between the hardline Communist Red Flag party and the reformist Communist White Flag Party broke out ending in 1997 when the Communist White Flag party won and assumed control of the government. The Communist White Flag party is still the incumbent party in the nation's government and them having lost either their majority in parliament or a presidential election for one of their candidates, President Matthias Torres has served as the President of Puertego for 22 years as a member of the party and has taken large measures to liberalize the country's economy preventing stagnation.

Puertego is a regional and middle power in international politics. Puertego is considered a developing, lower-middle income, and newly industrialized country, a large portion of their economy is made by natural resources and industry. The government of Puertego is considered a hybrid regime which maintains elections that are regular and free though not fair while also having strong authoritarian powers such as the ability to crack down on freedoms such as speech, assembly, association, and the press with the country constantly being ranked one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists having at least 400 actively serving prison time for defamation charges pressed on them by the government and having an extremely poor record with human rights including torture, arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial executions, and unfair trials among many others along with massive levels of corruption and censorship. The country tries to maintain a balanced policy in foreign affairs to try and keep trade good with all countries, making concessions to them without swinging too far to one side.

Puertego is a member of the League of Nations.
