Today, the concept of "freedom of the seas" can be found in the [[League of Nations]]' Law of the Sea (LoNLoS), which states: "the high seas are open to all sovereign states, whether coastal or land-locked".

Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries commerce raiding became an increasingly effective way for smaller and developing navies to compete with the established Kiro/Levanto-centric balance of power. As illustrated in the [[Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars]], the [[Red Interregnum]], and through to the early stages of the [[Second Great War]], commerce was vital to the conduct of asymmetric maritime warfare. | Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries commerce raiding became an increasingly effective way for smaller and developing navies to compete with the established Kiro/Levanto-centric balance of power.

===La | Many nations in [[Audonia]] and their trade partners have criticized [[Burgundie]] for being hypocritical in its touting of the freedom of the seas doctrine while it maintains the colonial islands of [[Antilles]], [[Alcairet]], [[Salarive]], and [[Chaukhira]], collectively called ''la garrotte Ularien'' or simply ''[[La Garrote]] '', because they control the entrances to the Bay of Khandahar and the Aab-e-Farus.
