Foreign Relations of Burgundie: Difference between revisions

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.
