Historically municipalities in Burgundie derived their city rights from the rulers of the Kingdom of Dericania (''de jure'' the Emperor of the Levantines), by royal decree. However, as fiefdoms gave way to bourgeois trade hubs the power and rights of municipalities grew and royal charters gave way to popular charters around the 1860s. | {{Further|Cities of Burgundie}} | ||

Burgundie has a variety of municipal types. The largest being a city (Burg: ''metropol''), thusly named as historically they hosted a cathedral. These are typically include the pre- or suffixes vil-, -vil, Ville-, or -ville, of Latinic origin meaning farm. Some regional variation is seen in these naming conventions. In Faramount where the Gassavelian people are a historically powerful population -vis, -vit, or -vitham are a common, coming from eastern Audonian languages meaning dwelling or settlement. In parts of central Burgundie where Istroyan influence was strongest, -opol, -oic, and -ocis are likely, coming from Istroyan meaning house. | [[Burgundie]] has a variety of municipal types.

Below the ''metropol'' is the "church/market town" or ''mercirc'' in Burgoignesc. These towns typically had or have larger populations and are more densely populated. In rural areas they are often the seat of the ''sergentie'' and the ''paroquiel''. These where typically built up around medieval feudal seats and thusly it is common for them to have keeps/castles that now serve either as county administrative offices, niche business parks, or tourist attractions. | Below the ''metropol'' is the "church/market town" or ''mercirc'' in Burgoignesc.

=== County Government === | === County Government === | ||
The equivalents of a county in Burgundie are the sergentie and the paroquiel. They are functionally the same and retain their separate names purely as a ceremonial flourish. They exist only in less populated areas, in opposition to free cities, and oversee multi-municipal services and administration. Typical services include policing, fire fighting, public works, and in some extreme cases direct municipal governance. Sergentie and paroquieles are not a representative level of government and do not maintain their own legal status. However, they are the lowest level of government that the national governments will interact with when distributing fiduciary support (e.g. disaster aid, stimulus funding). The lead administrator of a sergentie is called a ''loctenent'' (Eng: lieutenant), and the same in a paroquieles is a ''curat'' (Eng: rector), their responsibilities include ensuring the day to day functioning of their jurisdiction and as the sole position responsible for liaising with higher levels of government in the event of fiduciary dispensation. | The equivalents of a county in [[Burgundie]] are the sergentie and the paroquiel.

Sergentie is the Burgoignesc for Serjeanty, a type of feif wherein non-military service was included in the feudal duties. While, ''sergenties'', ''feus des eques'', ''socagies'', etc. existed simultaneously, ''sergenties'' were much more common after feudalism the other terms fell out of use. The term refers to historically secular jurisdictions and with free cities make up the majority of lands in Burgundie. | Sergentie is the Burgoignesc for Serjeanty, a type of feif wherein non-military service was included in the feudal duties.

The Burgoignesc Overseas Representative Assembly (BORA) is the Constituent Country Equivalent that includes the provinces of [[Alcairet]], [[Antilles]], [[Argaea]], [[Chaukhira]], [[Nauta Normand]], [[Sudmoll]], [[Torlen]], [[Wintergen]], and the candidate jurisdiction [[Iles Evangeline]]. BORA functions just like all of the other constituent countries of [[Burgundie]] and the islands it oversees have the same relationship to it that the provinces of the other constituent countries have to the country-level government. It is held separate from the other constituent countries because they share the common issues held living on islands far from the [[Burgoignesc metropole]]. So, while it is culturally and geographically the most disparate constituent country in [[Burgundie]] it is one of the most unified political bodies due to the shared experiences of the constituents. | |||

The ''Justices Lazarine'' are nominated by the Golden Council of Ten, reduced to three candidates and then appointed by the Great Prince. The Lazarine Court sees 30 cases a year, interpret laws, offer legal commentary and overturn unconstitutional laws. | The Lazarine Court is the supreme court of terrestrial [[Burgundie]].

The Maritime Prefecture is the supreme court of maritime Burgundie. It is the ultimate legal power in the legal hierarchy of ship's captains, the Martial Court of the Navy of Burgundie, and any other body dispensing justice in the Burgundian maritime claims. The Commodore Justice is nominated by the Golden Council of Ten, reduced to three candidates and then appointed by the Great Prince. The Maritime Prefecture sees cases, interprets laws, and proposes unconstitutional laws to be overturned by the Lazarine Court. While the Maritime Prefecture is not subordinate to the Lazarine Court, the Consitution of Burgundie is considered a terrestrial document and therefore outside of the jurisdiction of the Commodore Justice. Alternatively, the Lazarine Court is not permitted to pass judgment on cases that will impact Maritime Law without the approval of the Maritime Prefecture. something, something Conservative liberalism | The Maritime Prefecture is the supreme court of maritime [[Burgundie]].

The Burgoignesc Satellite Service (Burg: Service Satellit de Burgundie) is an agency | The Burgoignesc Satellite Service (Burg: Service Satellit de Burgundie) is an agency of the Department of Trade. It is responsible for the development, research, contracting, launch, and maintenance of the government owned satellites of [[Burgundie]]. It is also the regulatory body for private sector satellites. The Agency was formed in the late 1950s as the possibilities of satellite aided navigation on the high seas became more evident and attainable. The program initially set out to create its own independent space program, which is achieved by licensing some Urcean and Fiannrian rocket designs which it hired local firms to create. A launch site was laid out on Port de Vent and initial tests went well. By 1964 it was determined that [[Burgundie]] could not keep up with the rapid advance of rocketry development and cancelled its attempts at creating an organic capability, instead signing agreements with Urcea and Fiannria to rent space on their rockets to deliver global positioning system (GPS) satellites, as well as give access to the GPS data. As the precision of satellites increased the goals of Fiannria and [[Burgundie]] diverged and [[Burgundie]] began to rely more heavily on Urcea. By the mid-1980s the frequency of Burgoignesc satellite launches was 1 in 4 of every Royal Orbital Service and Space Command launch and a more permanent solution needed to be found. A mechanism was created wherein the Burgoignesc Satellite Service was effectively absorbed into the Royal Orbital Service and Space Command. This agreement served as the basis for the agreement that would later create a singular Levantine Union space program. | ||
Using this new collaborative mechanism, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Burgoignesc astronaut candidates began training in Urcea. In 1994, Flight Commander (Burg: Ale Ijetes) Vincens-Journeay Emersende Draiselle became the first Burgiognac in space. Since that time the astronauts of Burgundie have maintained an almost constant presence on Urcea or international space stations conducting scientific research on behalf of the global community. | Using this new collaborative mechanism, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Burgoignesc astronaut candidates began training in Urcea.

The Burgoignesc Satellite Service operates a massive array of mapping, communications, and navigation satellites. The data provided by these satellites are available globally. A smaller number of military observation satellites are maintained, but are part of a wider network of Royal Orbital Service and Space Command military satellites and are not intended to operate independently. | The Burgoignesc Satellite Service operates a massive array of mapping, communications, and navigation satellites.

====Strategic Auxiliary Fleet of the Continuation==== | |||
The '''Strategic Auxiliary Fleet of the Continuation''' is a reserve fleet of steam locomotives train engines, steam ships, and clipper ships owned by the Ministry of Emergency Management. This fleet is widely distributed across the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] in the event of a nuclear strike. Due to the mechanical nature of these modes of transportation they would not be impacted by an electro-magnetic pulse ({{wp|EMP}}) of a nuclear detonation and would be the primary mode of transportation for key royal and national government officials reconstituting or for troop movements. | |||
The rail fleet is maintained by the [[Army_of_Burgundie#Army_Corps_of_the_Rails|Army Corps of the Rails]] and the ship fleet is maintained by [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]]. To maintain operational readiness all of the Strategic Auxiliary Fleet of the Continuation vehicles are used on an at least quarterly basis. The [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]] in particular has found an market with climate conscious consumers and corporate partners and have developed dedicated shipping routes for their Strategic Auxiliary Fleet of the Continuation clipper fleet. In [[2032]], they even petitioned the Ministry of Emergency Management to build 5 more extreme clippers to maintain a reserve while being able to meet increasing demand. | |||
Environmental concerns have plagued the steam engine and steamer ship programs and there have been a number of scholarships given to universities and think-tanks to come up with a better, equally as accessible, and equally replenishable fuel, instead of coal. | |||
