They love the sea, like a lot. The national motto is ''In Fluctus Aigean Mon Bontie Expectat'' (Aeng: Upon the Ocean Waves My Bounty Awaits).

The foundation of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] was to seek out the kingdoms of the {{wp|Biblical Magi}} and to unite "all the lands whose kings adored Christ". As such, at least at its genisis, what has been retrospectively termed a ''{{wp|Mission civilisatrice}}'', was the search for co-equal kingdoms with which to join forces in [[Catholic Church|service of Christ]]. The thesis that Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar came from Christian kingdoms was flawed from the start and meant that the Papally ordained/funded explorations of the coastal [[Derian identity|Derians]] never found what they were looking for. It did however, lead to a self-righteous bent of Imperialism and settler colonization that spanned [[Audonia]] and [[Alshar]] in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. Exploration and colonization in northern [[Audonia]] was justified under the banner of searching for the kingdom of {{wp|Balthazar (magus)|Balthazar}}, the same for southern [[Audonia]] in search of {{wp|Melchior (magus)|Melchior}}, and same again in [[Alshar]] in search of the kingdom of {{wp|Caspar (magus)|Gaspar}}. This earning for oriental connection remains to this day but has been informed by many other factors beyond this initial concept.

Slavery is recognized as an abhorrent practice, but an integral part of the history of [[Burgundie]]. The contributions of slaves are embraced as part of the foundation of Burgoignesc society. [[History of Burgundie]] is taught to include the ever-present role slavery played in the [[Latin Heroic Age|Latin Heroic]], [[Slavery in Great Levantia|Great Levantine]], and [[Holy Levantine Empire]] periods, falling out of fashion in the 1830s, and being formally being banned in [[1875]]. Furthermore, people whose forebearers were brought to [[Burgundie]] through the practice of slavery are considered equal members of Burgoignesc society and whose freedoms and obligations are the same as every other Burgoigniac.

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 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]] and [[Alshar]] 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.

Stigmatizing slavery and therefore ignoring the role it played in the development of the societies it help build, and sidelining the descendants of slavery is considered a stupid thing done by libtards and conservacucks alike.

Opera ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: theatre d'Opera), has long been a form of "state theater" in southern [[Levantia]]. The building of Opera houses both national and municipal was seen by many early modern rulers as a form of public service and welfare. Opera was first formally performed in the Duchy of Verecundia in [[1597]] and picked up as an [[Holy Levantine Empire|Imperial]] preference in the mid 17th century. Princlings all across the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Empire]] took up, to varying degrees, the clarion call to develop Opera Houses and Opera companies. The Duchies of Marialanus, Martilles, Faramount, and Bourgondia were prime examples of state centric opera development.
