Culture in Burgundie: Difference between revisions

Culturally, [[Burgundie]] is one of the least vernacular and most mechanical nations in the world. This means that there is a level of homongony across the diverse and vast [[Burgoignesc Thalattocracy|thalattocracy]]. This is an accidental side effect of the centralized, planned mechanization put forward by the various royal institutions since the [[New Burgundie Secession War]], but especially since the [[Second Great War]]. These mechanization efforts, namely in the wide spread use of air conditioning, mass transit, and subsidized domestic migration have allowed the Burgoigniacs to live anywhere in the world under the same conditions as they would on the [[Ile Burgundie]].

Common characteristics are that they speak [[Burgoignesc Language|Burgoignesc]], they are primarily [[Catholic Church‎‎|Levantine Catholic]], although there is a sizable minority of [[Mercantile Reform Protestant]] in [[Flordeterra]] and the [[Burgoignesc Minor Overseas Territories]]. They are generally paler, taller, and fairer than their Latinic brethern, due to intermixing with the indigenous populations of northern [[Levantia]].

While genetically part of the Latinic phenotype, the Sintalians are a culturally unique group in central eastern coast of [[Levantia]]. In [[Drusla]], [[Esquinia]], and [[Pumbria]] the Sinitalians are the majority group. The Sintalians have dark features, are shorter and squatter then their western Latinic cousins. They speak {{wp|Sicilian_language|Sintalian}}, an off-shoot of Latin that is so idiomatic and influenced by other languages brought to them by seafaring people, including [[Burgoignesc Language|Burgoignesc]], that linquistically it is considered separate from Latin. The majority of Sintalians are [[Catholic Church‎‎|Levantine Catholic]] but about 15% practice {{wp|Judaism}}.

The [[Feinii]] of [[Burgundie]], are a subgroup of the greater [[Levantia|Levantine]] {{wp|Celts|Prythones}}. They make up the majority of the population in [[Ultmar]], but are only the second largest group in all of [[Burgundie]]. They often complain of unequal treatment at the hands of the [[Bergendii]] establishment. They are tall, pale, a large part of the population have red or fair hair. They are primarily [[Catholic Church‎‎|Levantine Catholic]] but as a sign of resistance against the "foreign" Latinic rule of the [[Bergendii]], some more radical groups adopted {{wp|Afrikaner Calvinism|Punthite [[Mercantile Reform Protestant]]}} and [[Burgundie#Other_Christian_Faiths|Mormonism]] in the early 20th century. While these groups are small, about 6% and 3% respectively, they have become some of the most outspoken in favor for addressing the "inherent rascism" in [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] society.

The migration of the Jewish people from the [[Kingdom of Eshel]] has left an enduring imprint on the cultural fabric of [[Burgundie]], fostering a diverse and vibrant Jewish community that is now an intrinsic part of [[Burgundie]]'s society. Over the centuries, especially during the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|Burgoignesc colonization]] of [[Audonia#Daria|southwestern Audonia]], leading to the dispersion and integration of the [[Kingdom of Eshel|Eshellim]] into various polities within the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]. In the [[Duchy of Martilles|Martillien]] [[Istroya Oriental colony]], Jewish communities from [[Kingdom of Eshel|Eshel]] found new homes, bringing with them their unique traditions, language, and religious practices. This cultural synthesis in the colonies became a defining chapter, as the [[Kingdom of Eshel|Eshellim]] integrated elements of Burgoignesc culture while preserving their distinct Jewish identity. The coexistence of diverse communities laid the groundwork for the enduring presence of Jewish communities in [[Burgundie]]. Engaging in various professions, from trade to craftsmanship, Jewish migrants became integral to the economic success of the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]. Over time, they established vibrant neighborhoods, synagogues, schools, and communal spaces in urban centers, contributing to the economic and cultural landscape. The descendants of the [[Kingdom of Eshel|Eshellim]] continue to contribute to the nation's cultural mosaic. Their integration is evident in daily life, from culinary practices to religious observances, reflecting the enduring impact of this historical migration. The descendants of the [[Kingdom of Eshel|Eshellim]] have made significant contributions to various fields, enriching [[Burgundie]]'s intellectual landscape. [[Burgundie]]'s commitment to religious tolerance and pluralism has allowed Jewish communities to thrive, fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated. Dialogue between different religious communities, including Jews, promotes unity and harmony among [[Burgundie]]'s diverse populace.

[[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] have a long history of alcohol appreciation. Proto-[[Bergendii]] left behind a tradition of spit beer that lasted well into the middle ages. As the agricultural practices of [[Burgundie]] improved, large fiefs and {{wp|Trappist}} abbeys started to focus on viticulture and brewery-based agriculture. As a result, barley beer, {{wp|Trappist beer}} being among them, became popular. It was also the beginnings of the modern [[Burgundie Wine Region]]. In the 1600s, [[Kiravia]]n whiskey distilling methods improved to the point of abundance, and exports of whiskey started arriving in [[Burgundie]].

Barley beer fell out of favor in the mid-1700s when ships carrying sugarcane from near the equator resulted in a {{wp|rum}} boom. This was also coupled with a conservation effort to restore the cedar forests of [[Burgundie]], which curtailed agricultural expansion. Political difficulty with [[Kiravia]] resulted in a formal cessation of the imports of [[Kiravia]]n whiskey, but "whiskey packets" thwarted the sanctions and a black market built up around it. The [[Government of Burgundie|Burgoignesc government]] tried to subsidize local distilleries and created a unique blend, made mostly of corn mash called Burgbon, but the product was sub-par and never caught on in discerning markets.

[[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] society is predicated heavily on the moral prerogative of a righteous {{wp|Civil society}}. This has long been the breeding ground for the {{wp|Social contract}} that developed in [[Burgundie]]. It stipulates that the Commonwealth is best served by citizens who are highly independent and intelligent, mindful of their action’s impact on others, and knowledgeable of the definite difference between right and wrong. The concept of a “moral grey area” is a fairly recent development and is mostly utilized solely overseas as an instrument of trade or politics.

This sense of establishing a morally righteous community has long been supported by the [[Catholic Church]], allowing for the Church to dig its presence deep into the societal consciousness of the average [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] citizen. This is best expressed through a [[2023]] study on {{wp|Queueing theory}}, in which [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] came in first for the populations most compliant to queues and first for populations most violent against those who thwart queues. In the study's final remarks, it was noted, "that while not scientifically significant it was observed that a [[Kiravia]]ian, recently arrived in [[Vilauristre]], was first verbally, then physically assaulted by [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] in line at an ice cream parlor. So vicious were the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] in their assumption that the [[Kiravia]]ian had spit in the very eye of the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] ethos, that it took 12 police officers 5 minutes to restore order.”

Other tenants of the latent code of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] conduct are as follows:

*a crime against one [[Burgundie|Burgoigniac]] is a crime against Burgundie as a whole, this applies doubly for crimes against women and children, often leading to community ordained vigilantism  

*poverty is a result of the complicity of society and therefore, it’s existence is the fault of each individual [[Burgundie|Burgoigniac]]

The [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] look down on societies who do not follow these particular tenants. This is particularly the case on the continents of [[Levantia]], [[Crona]], and [[Ixnay]], as the expectation is that also being from a Judeo-Christian background they would follow similar tenants. It has also led to a paternalistic approach to nations outside of the Abrahamic traditions. As a result of these strict social morays, [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] are generally looked upon as snobby, self-righteous, condescending, and morally heavy-handed.

History and heritage are very important to the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]]. These leads them to tend toward traditional social morays and cultural interaction. That is not to say that [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] are closed or narrow-minded. They welcome other cultures and scientific and technological advancement as these have always been important to the monetary and cultural economy in [[Burgundie]]. Furthermore, there is a certain {{wp|yankee ingenuity}} that [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] are known for throughout Greater Ixnay. They are renowned hard workers, shrewd businessmen and extremely devoted to the {{wp|commonwealth}} of [[Burgundie]].

[[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] are very proud of these qualities, in fact, they are proud people in general, but often in a stoic way, never braggadocious or boastful.They sense of assuredness is often perceived by less formal cultures as antiquated and snobby.

In a bit of jingoistic [[Kiravia]]ian reportage the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Culture in Burgundie|culture]] was likened to a strong cup of tea, steeped in its own self-importance, bitter to the foreigners taste, but viciously effective at jolting the system.

Slavery does not carry the stigma of "otherness" as slavery was not uniquely practiced toward any one group or ethnicity in particular. Who was enslaved by the denizens of the principalities that makeup [[Burgundie]] was based purely on ease of access. In the [[Latin Heroic Age]], throughout the reign of [[Great Levantia]], and the majority of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] period, [[Occidental]] slaves were taken from neighboring principalities, northern [[Levantia]], and the [[Sarepdon]]ian coast of the [[Sea of Istroya]]. As maritime technology improved and these areas centralized and became difficult to raid, [[Bergendii]] slavers looked further afield. In the middle [[Holy Levantine Empire]] period, [[Bergendii]] slavers took over the existing [[Pre-modern_global_trade#Oduniyyad_chattel_network|chattel networks]] as the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] collapsed. They used their [[Pharisedom|pharisedoms]] as slaving hubs and as slave markets and enslaved around 10 million people of [[Audonia]]n origin and transported them all over the world in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th century. However, this was merely one part of a global slave market reticulum that started a global decline in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Since the establishment of permanent Latinic city-states in [[Burgundie (Electorate)|Ipar]] in the 3rd century BC, urbanization has been a part of the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] mythos. It originally was a symbolic differentiation between the Latinics and the {{wp|Picts|Impaxi}} and {{wp|Basque|Levzeish}} tribes who were {{wp|transhumance}} and only mildly sedentary, respectively. [[Burgundie]]'s population has always been concentrated in urban centers, due in large part to the creation of a protectionist society, build up around {{wp|Oppidum|oppida}} to protect against attacks and raids from outsiders. This concept was originally expressed in the development of cities surrounded by large {{wp|Latifundium|latifundia}} where each day the workers and their landlords would return to the safety of the security {{wp|Oppidum|oppidum}} walls before returning to the fields each morning. This lead to a strong sense of connection between those in power and those simply working the land, a sense of {{wp|commonwealth}} that remains to this day. This style of city and community building became crucial to the defense of [[Burgundie]] and its [[Bergendii|people]]in the [[History_of_Burgundie#Post-classical_Burgundie|middle ages]] by thwarting [[Fiannria]]' efforts to dominate [[Burgundie]] for over 300 years.

Urbanization in [[Burgundie]] did not technically meet the definition of "hyper-urbanization" until the [[Talk:History_of_Burgundie#Hyper_Urbanization_1899-1963|turn of the 20th century]]. From then it enjoyed a 60 year explosion that followed a massive population boom as the benefits of public health started to impact all members of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] society and as immigrants from southern [[Punth]] flooded the nation. Urban development stalled in the latter 20th century but renewed commitment to bringing back an important part of the spirit of [[Burgundie]] in the early 21st century has [[Talk:History_of_Burgundie#Urban_Renewal_.28Smarter_and_Greener.29|jump started it]] again.

This is a form of folk music typically sung by coal miners, like the {{wp|Les Charbonniers de l'enfer|Les Carboniers della infer}}. It is typically accapella and sung in an acoustic environment where the echo and reverberation are utilized as a member of the group, like in a deep mine. This has led to the development of special concert halls being built in the coal regions of [[Burgundie]]'s Esquinia and Alexarmes. Its notable for its use of the {{wp|head voice}} and short phrases, so as not to require a deep breath in the mines, bringing in coal dust to the lungs. It also utilizing a disproportionate amount of humming, again in an effort to reduce the ingestion of coal dust. It often slow and rhythmic to match the average swing of a pick and other mining tools.

Unlike many of its [[Occidental world|Occidental]] compatriots the ochestras of [[Burgundie]] are composed not of violins, violas, cellos, and basses but rather include some ''archaic'' and ''ethnic'' instrumentation. While many [[Occidental world|Occidental]] orchestras are composed of instruments played with a bow, [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] orchestras have a combination of bowed, picked, and plucked instruments.

Ballet ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]:''Danse deBallais'') or more colloquially ''Ballais'', was first formally performed in the [[Marialanus (province)|Duchy of Marialanus]] in [[1489]]. The dance has long been integral to the cultural scene of [[Burgundie]]. The various principalities, duchies, and that now make up the modern country of [[Burgundie]] are well documented to have created two of the four schools of modern ballet, ''{{wp|Russian ballet|Ballais Burgones}}'' and ''{{wp| French ballet|Ballais Faramountagne}}''. Ballais is a mandatory course of study in [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] schools from 1st grade through high school graduation. Participation rates remain high as many universities and businesses maintain ''corps du Ballai''. ''{{wp|Russian ballet|Ballais Burgones}}'' is the official dance of the country and as such is afforded a prominent part in most demonstrations of national spirit.

Ballet has been a part of the global [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc brand]] since the 1970s. Following the [[Second Great War]] the war weary [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] sought to define [[Burgundie]] by other means instead of by its centuries of military intervention. Ballet was an obvious choice as it demonstrated the poise and grace of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] high society but also the potential explosive power of its working classes. Some enterprising ballet dancers petitioned for the Imperial Burgoignesc Ballet School to be opened in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], [[Urcea]], and in [[1968]] it was granted a charter by the Urcean and Imperial crown. The prowess and finesse of the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] dancers was soon recognized beyond [[Urcea]]. Touring companies were created to bring the fine arts of [[Burgundie]] to the world. Ballet companies were paired with orchestras, theater troupes, and art exhibitions. These “culture fleets” tour the world to this day ensuring that [[Burgundie]] is synonymous with high culture the world over.

The Imperial Court of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] maintained a large ballet complement and recruited from across the world. The [[Levantia|Levantine]] high culture scene was considered one of the best, with some of the most enduring musicians of the {{wp|Baroque music| Baroque period}}. To demonstrate their wealth and to curry favor with the emperors, some dukes and princes across the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Empire]] developed ballet schools of their own to cultivate a healthy stock of dancers to be bargained with in their dealings with the emperor. One such duchy was the [[Ile Burgundie|Duchy of Burgondia]], who in [[1507]], formed a deBallais school of their own. The school was housed in the ducal palace and formed, with the Orchestral School, the foundation of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Culture in Burgundie|cultural]] court life. The Royal Faramount deBallais school was formed in [[1588]] and played a key role in the Imperial court’s recruitment of dance masters and young performers.

[[Burgoigniac]]s are traditional, formal, and conservative in their style of dress. Women wear dresses, skirts, and pleated trousers in equal measure, often paired with a cardigan or shawl. Older [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] men are rarely out without a jacket, younger men without a sweater. All [[Burgoigniacs]] wear headgear, for women in less formal situations a scarf is common, and on more formal occasions elaborate hats or fascinators are ''de jure''. Meanwhile

Due to its maritime history, most [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] casual wear nautically inspired garments and are considered ever-ready to hop on a yacht should the need arise.

'''Prep''' (abbreviation of the word ''Preparatoria'') refers to a subculture in the [[Burgundie]] associated with the old {{wp|private education|private}} {{wp|university-preparatory school}}s in the [[Burgundie (Electorate)|Duchy of Burgundie]]. The terms are used to denote a person seen as characteristic of a student or alumnus of these schools. ''Prep'' has become a colloquialism in the [[Burgundie]] and across [[Levantia]] and the [[Kilikas Sea|Kilikas]] and has become synonymous with [[Culture in Burgundie|Burgoignesc culture]]. Characteristics of preps in the past, include a particular subcultural speech, vocabulary, dress, mannerisms, etiquette, reflective of a [Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] upper-class upbringing.

[[Maritime Dericania]] engaged in horse racing to varying degrees until the 1790s when steeple chasing became ubiquitous across the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. Minor, informal races had occurred across the Kingdom prior to this but it become an unofficial sport of the kingdom around this time. As feudalism fell and professional armies rose across the southern portions of Dericania, young professional cavalry officers sought ways to train and compete. By the 1810s in the few principalities that could afford a professional cavalry corps were requiring forms of flat racing and steeple chasing as part of military training. This became associated with the dashing appearance of cavalry officers and became associated with the officer class and civilian landowners took up the sport as a demonstration of status. By the 1830s, nobles and generous landowners would gives days off to their tenant farmers on race days and it became a joyous communal holiday.

Given that newly married couples are older and more highly educated,  Public Health officials predict the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] divorce rate will continue to drop.

Becoming legal in the 1950s as a result of the Burgoignesc Women’s Liberation movement, guaranteed access to contraception has faded from general discourse because of its wide acceptance and vast popular support. The [[Catholic Church]] has taken their protests to the pulpit but by the 1980s had lost steam even there as parishioners turned away from the church starting in the 1970s, many young people citing the Churches stance on contraception as a reason.

Having this background means that most children in [[Burgundie]] are intentional, well provided for, will go to institutions of higher education, will have parents who provide them the opportunity to travel internationally, and will have two parent households. This puts [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] children at an advantage over children from a number of different nations in Greater Ixnay. However, it means that the average [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] family is small. On average [[Bergendii]] families have 1.75 children and [[Feinii]] families have 2.1 children. Immigrant communities vary, but collectively have an average of 3.2 children. These small nuclear families mean that more time is devoting to parenting in contrast to general child-rearing, in which children may be expected to take care of each other.

Because of the small size, intentional nature, and the high likelihood of the presence of two parents of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] nuclear families, parents take the vast majority of the responsibility of rearing their own children. Traditionalist gender roles are blurred in [[Burgundie]] as roles are more likely assigned on meritocratic terms and through compromise. In approximately 16% of heterosexual [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] families, the male partner is the primary caregiver to the couple’s children. Because of its moderately long mandatory parental leave laws, [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] infants generally have a parent present 24hours for the first 14 months of its life. Following that children are often cared for by parents offsetting schedules when possible and/or seeking childcare alternatives. Wealthier families tending to engage private babysitters/tutors to watch children and edutain them until they are old enough to go to school. These people are highly regulated and often hold a Specialized Baccalaureate in Childcare or higher degrees in their tutoring field. Parents are entrusted with moral education but this is typically reinforced by the [[Catholic Church|Church]] as 64% of young families reported attending church in the [[2030]] census. Parents also are responsible for creating a foundation of socialization and are encouraged to have their children play with others in their infancy both as a socialization tactic and also as a public health measure to expose them to as many pathogens for early antigen development. This approach is counter-intuitive to many occidental “bubble boy/helicopter” parenting styles, but in the context of a highly developed pediatric medicine sector is has been long proven to be successful in the long term. It does whoever mean that on the surface [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] children appear sicker than many other occidental children, but on average they are healthier adults.

[[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] parents also allow their children space to play, explore, and make mistakes in a generally unsupervised environment. This is leads to the early establishment of critical thinking skills and creative problem-solving skills in [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] children who become highly capable adults.

Since culture is highly prized in [[Culture in Burgundie|Burgoignesc culture]] parents are encouraged to take their children to cultural events. The government makes admission to museums, theatres, historical attractions, and festivals free to families on a number of occasions throughout the year. This is further supplemented by free tour guides at applicable venues for children so that the parents can either enjoy it at their own pace or some time alone. Museums and historical attractions are particularly popular in the summer and it is common to see the venues packed with children and the cafes packed with parents.

Discipline is an important part of parenting in [[Burgundie]]. Children are expected to be respectful and quiet in public places and breaches of this norm is a reflection on the parents. Therefore, as part of the early socialization process, children are taught the tenants of resecting their elders, honoring their family, and prudence in social situations. There is not as much of a taboo regarding corporeal punishment in public if a child isn’t behaving, but it extends only as far as slapping of the hands and posterior. Thusly, with heavy reinforcement from the [[Catholic Church|Church]], shame is a powerful aspect of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] life.

Parental leave in [[Burgundie]] is 8 months paid leave, with an additional 4 months available to mothers at half pay. While it is common for mothers to take all of their leave consecutively, fathers have the flexibility to take their paid leave at a cadence agreed upon by their employer. Typically, fathers take a month following the birth of their children and then return to work saving the bulk of their remaining time until the end of the mother’s 8 months so that the child will have a parent present 24hours for the first 14 months of its life. The time a father spends at work between parental leaves is known in [[Burgundie]] as the ‘’Diesel Period’’ ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: Diesel periode), a joke on the low octane content in diesel fuel and the fact that due to lack of sleep it is a generally unproductive time. During this time the worker is given high volumes of menial, low risk tasks.

Social programs in [[Burgundie]] are formally administered through four avenues know as “the legs on which the table of the Burgoignesc banquet is set”. These four organizations are the [[Government of Burgundie#Legislative branch|Burgundie’s federal government]], [[Government of Burgundie#Executive Branch|Burgundie’s royal government]], the [[Catholic Church]], and the Burgoignesc Board of {{wp|Friendly society|Friendly Societies}}. These agencies meet every 3 years to determine a wholistic strategy for the alleviation of suffering and the improbvement of the welfare of all [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]].

Following the Great Peasants' Revolt in the [[Marialanus (province)|Grand Duchy of Marialanus]], [[Revenue Guard]]smen were authorized under [[1383]] Burgoignesc Poor Laws statute to collar vagabonds and force them to show support; if they could not, the penalty was imprisonment.

Further complicating the issue was that in the 1950s, as part of the NIDP, new massive highways were built, most of which went through the major cities of [[Burgundie]]. Low-income and working-class neighborhoods were demolished without a resettlement plan, and a new population of homeless people were created and, as the largest of the NIDP projects were completed, many of its own laid-off workers joined the ranks. From a homelessness rate of 1.2:100 in 1946 to 18:100 in 1962, the numbers were much higher then at any time in [[History of Burgundie|Burgoignesc history]]. This, among other societal and ideological discontent, lead to a period known as the [[History of Burgundie#The Great Tumult|Great Tumult]]. Fear of another Great Peasants' Revolt or even a communist revolution soared and police and the local militias were used to violently suppress and break up any gathering of homeless peoples.

Furthermore, the Community Public Health Act of 1963 was a predisposing factor in setting the stage for modern homelessness in [[Burgundie]]. Long term psychiatric patients were released from state hospitals into Single Room Occupancies and sent to community health centers for treatment and follow-up. The move was an immediate disaster, and soon the mission districts across the [[Ile Burgundie]] and [[Ultmar]] were teeming with underserved peoples, both with and without psychiatric issues. In the early 1970s city planners, public health departments, social issues advocates, and development proponents alike identified that the homelessness issue was getting out of hand. Academic centers and design firms partnered, with government funding to design the city of the future, to address the needs of all [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]].

The Great Society Act of 1974 started what has become known as the Second '''Burgoignesc''' Renaissance. It addressed a number of social issues across [[Burgundie]], among them homelessness. The Act called for areas of ''compassionate refuge'' for the homeless within each major city and established the Royal Fund for Public Health. This alleviated the national government from having to tackle social issues, keeping the focus on capitalist policies instead of ''ideals of socialist degeneracy''. The areas of compassionate refuge was a thinly veiled containment policy that established fixed borders to the mission districts of each major city and transferred the lands they were on into corporations of the [[Burgoignesc Crown Estate]], thus exempting it from any local zoning ordinances. These areas became ''walless prisons'' as they were designed to keep the people within their limits. Harsh lighting, the forced centralization of disenfranchisement services, and the rezoning of nearby parks as buildable land made it clear that the homeless populations were expected to go to the mission districts and stay there.

Following the [[History_of_Burgundie#Great_Recession_2004.E2.80.932008|Great Burgoignesc Recession of 2004-2008]], and yet another uptick in homelessness, public health attitudes changed and focused on ''re-enfranchisement''. The mission districts that had long been left to their own devices, but with the establishment of the [[Pasqual_I#Philanthropy|Crown Prince Guillem's Foundation]] in [[1998]] and the [[Pasqual_I|Great Prince's]] interest in public health issues, services that had long lacked were reinstated. Schools for the children, job training for adults, medical facilities and other essential needs functions were restored across many of the mission districts. Buildings that had long lay abandoned or in disrepair were rebuilt and turned into affordable housing. Those who lived in the communities were paid to maintain these new facilities to avoid their return to squalor and local residents were trained as auxiliary police, under the concept of {{wp|Community policing|community policing}}. In 2008 the estimated rate of homelessness in [[Burgundie]] was 8:100, by 2020, the number had been reduced to 3:100. This effort was not entirely selfless as the collected tax that the newly enfranchized population provides is estimated at 20% over the cost of the programs. While not every corporation was profitable, the profits of others were reinvested for a net gain. Economists predict that not only will the [[Pasqual_I#Philanthropy|Crown Prince Guillem's Foundation]] recoup its investment by [[2050]] but that the [[Burgoignesc Crown Estate]], through its ownership of the land, will have increased its value to well over $29 billion.
