Burgundian Economy by Industry

From its emergence as an independent nation, Burgundie has encouraged science and innovation. In the early 20th century, the research developed through informal cooperation between Burgundian industry and academia grew rapidly and by the late 1940s exceeded the size of that taking place in much larger countries.

The sense of commonwealth among the Bergendii is born from the ancient raiding traditions. Each man looked out for his fellow boat-mates as though they were his brothers. If the sailors were to die the men of the boat would adopt and support his wife and family until she remarried. When the raiders became "landed" the "boat bond" was continued in each hamlet. They became known as meal groups this meant that the bread winners were collectively responsible for feeding the hamlet at the evening meal. This sense of commonwealth continues to this day with the practice of meal group not only in the neighborhoods around Burgundie but also, starting in the 1920s the rise of public health concepts led major companies to adopt the meal group mind set. In the 1980s many companies were buying apartment blocks and high rises near their factories and subsidizing their rent in order as an incentive. These "company rows" had become standard practice and by the late 80s, every manufacturing plant offered housing to all of its employees. This form of private sector socialism staunched the rise of the communist movement in Burgundie because it staked the fortunes of the working class on the upper class. Communist theorists decried this move as exacerbating the issue of inequity, but by the 1990s the communist movement in Burgundie was essentially dead.

Finding its origin in the thaler of the Kingdom of Ultmar, the Dollar eventually became the trade currency of Levantia as a whole and beyond.

Because of its reliance on trade and the private sector the Burgundian economy has long been fairly unregulated, by the government. However, the private sector has a long tradition of cooperation with the Revenue Guard and policing any black market activity. As such, the black market is practically non-existent. This does not apply to the internet. Intellectual property piracy in Burgundie is rife and the conservative, traditionalist Revenue Guard have been slow to respond. In response to this, the private sector has turned to the court system and since approximately 2003 the courts have been presided over by pro-business judges. This has led to cries among the populace that a certain level of corruption exists in the courts, which is anathema in the country where corruption is tantamount to treason.
