Foreign Relations for the country of Burgundie.
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 [[Daxia]] 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]].
 
=====Wintergen controversy=====

=== Political and economic perspectives ===
*'''Communism and socialism''': ater [[Burgundie]] spent 20 years fighting communists in the 60s-80s ([[Operation Kipling]], the country changed its perspective on communism and socialism. These systems were no longer consider the "enemy", but that their existence was an opportunity to develop a new market for the [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]]'s trade network. So the country takes an economic approach as opposed to a military one.
*'''Democracy and capitalism''': [[Burgundie]] has always been preferential to democracies and capitalists but there is less opportunity for [[Burgundie]] to influence these nations.
*'''Monarchy''': more in favor of constitutional monarchies, but is generally favorable to all monarchies.
*'''Theocracy''': more infavor of popularly supported or elected theocracies but generally favorable to all theocracies, regardless of its religion.
*'''Syndycalism''': opposed

[[Burgundie]] maintains markets across the globe. [[Burgundie]]'s trade islands are vital to the global reach and approach that the economy relies on. These disparate islands are heavily industrialized trade ports and warehousing spaces that help not only the [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]] but serve as stopover points in many nations trading routes.

==Current Foreign Investment Posture==
===[[Rumahoki#Economy_and_Infrastructure|Rumahoki]]===
Following the Velevet Revolution and the adoption of [[Velvetine Socialism]] by [[Rumahoki]] in the mid-1990s, the nation opened up Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and numerous [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] companies were encouraged by the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Global_Improvement|Global Improvement Branch of the Ministry of External Affairs (GIB-MEA)]] to invest in the newly reformed state. These investments were meant to support the stabilization of the state and the transition to democracy in [[Rumahoki]]. For almost 40 years the investments in [[Rumahoki]] have been expanding and are largely regarded as beneficial to both parties. The various campuses established by the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] companies are also accompanied with workers housing and a Burgoignesc International School. All work is conducted to [[Rumahoki]]an standards, but pay is slightly higher than average. The companies who operate manufactories are able to thwart some of the controls of the planned market socialist economy by focusing on exports rather than internal distribution, but even this only occurs are under the watchful eye of [[Rumahoki]]an economists and customs agents.
It has been recorded that these investments have had a net positive impact of those [[Rumahoki]]ans who work for these [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] companies. They have access to some of the goods either made or sold by those companies through the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] companies' PXes at discounted rates, although these items are taxed heavily by the [[Rumahoki]]an government. None of the practices of the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] companies are allowed to directly contradict the indicative planning done by [[Rumahoki]]an economist, as there is an additional burden of reporting placed on these companies, which results in the hiring of additional [[Rumahoki]]an citizens to maintain accurate and persistent accounting.
These investments cross a number of industries including telecommunications (as local affiliates of state-run [[Videocom]], Island Mobile), shipping ([[O’Shea Container Shipping]]), retail ([[House of Elan]] and [[Germais Time]]), hospitality ([[Palacin_Holdings#BurgunArms_Hospitality_Group|BurgunArms Hospitality Group]], and tourism ([[DeBonAire Airlines‎‎]]).

*[[Burgoignesc way of war]]
[[Burgundie]] maintains a high level of global reach/forward deployment and readiness both through it's island provinces (in particular [[La Garrote]]), and it's outsized sea and airlift commands. It also leverages industrial contracts with local partners and their industrial bases to maintain a massive and incorruptable materiel supply chain. Key partners include [[Arcerion]], [[Cartadania]], [[Bulkh]], [[Faneria]], [[Paulastra]], [[Pelaxia]], [[Urcea]], and [[Yonderre]].
