Anti-Burgoignesc sentiment or Burgophobia means opposition to, dislike of, fear of, or hatred towards Burgundie or Bergendii people. To a lesser extent, the term has also been applied to dislike of, fear of, or hatred towards Yonderre as well.

Within Levantia

Dericania

Burgophobia was particularly noteworthy during The Fraternal Wars in Dericania. Among Derian people, the Bergendii gained a reputation for treachery and violence following the First Fratricide. It entered a sharp decline following the conclusion of the Great War.

Gothica

Burgophobia within Gothica takes the form of anti-Yonderre sentiment and is common among Gothic nationalists. It was also somewhat common among Ænglish people in the late 19th century and is thought to have played a role in the unification of Anglei.

Within Alshar

Abroad

Kiravia

While contemporary Burgophobia in Kiravia is for the most part subsumed into the pervasive general Anti-Occidental sentiment in that country, specific antipathy towards Burgundie was historically quite strong, owing to the two countries' centuries of military, commercial, and colonial rivalry for control of Ixnay's oceans, exemplified by the Kiro-Burgundian Wars. Today, the most visible displays of Burgophobia are related to the ongoing territorial dispute between Burgundie and Kiravia over the island of Wintergen.
