Iles Evangeline is part of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s [[Geography_of_Burgundie#Wintergen|Polar Burgundies]] geographic designation. [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] is a constituent country equivalent of [[Burgundie]] with its own assembly, prime minister, budget, and laws. [[Burgundie]]'s national governmental influence is limited to subsidies, education, and security, however, its financial and cultural institutes cast a long shadow across Iles Evangeline. | |||
Iles Evangeline is a candidate constituent province within [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]] with its own semi-elected {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}}, representative legislative body, and court system. | |||
Iles Evangelineures are Burgoigniacs/Burgoignix with complete civil and economic rights, and citizenship (political rights) under the same federal service criteria as all residents of [[Burgundie]].

===Provincial executive=== | |||
The provincial executive is the {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}}. Three candidates are elected by a {{wpl|single transferable vote}} election held every 5 years, the three candidates are presented to the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Executive_Branch|Court of St. Alphador]] and the next {{wpl|Governor}}-{{wpl|Epistates}} is chosen from these candidates.

It makes provincial law, has the power of the provincial purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the provincial government. The Assembly has three seats for each province, one for the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Constituent_Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s Iles Evangeline liaison, 3 for the clergy, 3 seats reserved for municipal leaders, and 3 for a rota of private business leaders.

Civilian varshani administrators were summarily dismissed, Arzalist shrines shuttered and all public gatherings of over three people prohibited. Whatever produce was imported from the mainland was requisitioned by the army to supplement its rations, the locals were introduced to a new diet consisting of disgusting [[Daxian Aspic|aspic]] food rations courtesy of [[Agario]]. Four months after introduction, there was a riot at a food distribution center in which twenty tons of aspic rations were set on fire.

==Economy== | |||
{{Further|Economy of Burgundie}} | |||
[[File:Afield.png|thumb|A field of aloe plants.]] | |||
The economy of the islands is relatively developed and varied as they possess significant natural resources that the Varshani state sough to develop. Iles Evangeline have significant reserves of {{wpl|copper}} and thus strip mining of these is a major economic activity with an estimated production of four hundred thousand metric tons extracted in 2021. All of Iles Evangeline's copper mines are now under the control of the Department of Trade which is introducing the use of newer technology to increase copper production. Also present are large deposits of blue {{wpl|limestone}} and {{wpl|diorite}} which were highly valued by the Varshani for use in the construction of their monuments and temple complexes. So important were these materials to the mainland that most of the mines were nationalized and placed under the direct control of state run Arzalist foundations that directed the materials specifically to temples under construction in the mainland. Another important economic activity is the cultivation of {{wpl|aloe vera}}, which is used in Varshan's traditional medicine. Under Varshan rule, almost one third of the island's arable surface is dedicated to planting aloe fields. | |||
Tourism from mainland Varshan began to experience moderate growth and a few resorts catering to the upper castes were opened in the late 2000's. The partial restoration of the [[Blood Fane of Buruso]] saw a marked uptick in arzalist pilgrimages to the site so much that the Varshan Control Commission lodged at formal complaint with Daxian authorities, fearful of arzalist proselytism. [[Burgundie]] has banned [[Varshan]]i travellers all together. | |||
===Standard of living=== | |||
===Employment=== | |||
[[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in [[Audonia]]. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since [[Burgundie]] strives for [[Total Economic Engagement]] and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Iles Evangeline benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields. | |||
===Agriculture=== | |||
Agricultural production, primarily of {{wp|aloe vera}}, {{wp|wheat}}, {{wp|soybeans}}, {{wp|potatoes}}, {{wp|sugar beets}}, {{wp|onions}}, {{wp|pumpkins}}, {{wp|corn}}, {{wp|raw milk}}, and {{wp|beef}}, {{wp|Guar}} and {{wp|guar gum}} | |||
====Agrinergie==== | |||

===Tourism and hospitality=== | |||
Tourism has currently been severely restricted as the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie|Treaty Observation and Implementation Corps]] has set about to reconstitute the government and economy of the Iles Evangeline. But early surveys point to winter sports being a primary draw with skiing/snowboarding and dog sledding being primary activities. Thermal baths and {{wpl|locally brewed beer}} are expected to be a strong draw for the après-ski set. | |||

====Pisciculture==== | |||
{{wp|Pisciculture}} in the Iles Evangeline is focused mostly on the raising of {{wp|chum salmon}}, {{wp|Sockeye salmon}}, and {{wp|Dolly Varden trout}}. {{wp|Artisanal fishing}} is the only allowable form of pisciculture in Iles Evangeline and it produces about 1-200 tonnes of fish each year. | |||
Since the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] administration began there has been demand for investment in modernization of pisciculture across the Iles Evangeline to ramp up exports of {{wp|Sockeye salmon}} specifically both {{wp|Aquaculture of salmonids|farmed}} and wild caught. A team of experts are searching for suitable sites for {{wp|Copper alloys in aquaculture|copper alloy}} {{wp|Aquaculture_of_salmonids#Sea_cages|sea cages}} for the sockeye. | |||
The pisciculture sector, like all other sectors in the Iles Evangeline are severely underdeveloped in the [[Occidental world|Occidental]] perspective. The [[Government_of_Burgundie#Economy,_Finance_and_the_Recovery|Burgoignesc Ministry of Economy, Finance, and the Recovery]]'s [[Government_of_Burgundie#Trade|Department of Trade]] and the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Agriculture_and_Food|Ministry of Agriculture and Food]] have established a ''Joint Office of Evangeline Economic Development and Food Security'' to identify "locally acceptable avenues to increase development and output for both local and [[Burgoignesc Metropole|Metropolitan]] consumption". | |||

Port Capelan is a small {{wpl|container port}} that can accommodate two {{wpl|Feeder ship|feeder sized ships}} at once. It is used to export the agricultural goods from the island but also to supply the locals with sustenance since the island is not self-sufficient. | |||
Trade is handled throught the [[Shauku Island Trading Company]] (SITC), a joint stock company that is owned 20% by [[Alstin]], 20% by [[Burgundie]], 20% by [[O’Shea Container Shipping]], and the remaining shares are publically traded. The SITC handles the imports and exports from Iles Evangeline and [[Alstin]]ian [[Sotsial]]. It runs a regular route from [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] and [[Deralveca City]], [[Alstin]]. | |||

The | The ethno-racial makeup of Iles Evangeline has changed considerable over the years. Originally lightly settled by peoples from [[Oyashima]] since around the year 200 CE, the islands never held more than a few thousands at their population peak. The disastrous aftermath of the Tezomoc Expedition for the [[Oyashima]] fleet led to an almost complete exodus from the islands, with [[Varshan]] bringing in thousands of its own laborers to work on the many mines on the islands in the late 19th century. This demographic dominance by peoples of [[Varshan]] origin continues to the modern day, altough the brief [[Daxian]] rule and now the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] administration has resulted in the return of some [[Oyashima]]ns along with new [[Daxia]]ese, [[Rusana]]n, and [[Bergendii]] arrivals.

Politics and government
Iles Evangeline is part of the Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly's Polar Burgundies geographic designation. Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly is a constituent country equivalent of Burgundie with its own assembly, prime minister, budget, and laws. Burgundie's national governmental influence is limited to subsidies, education, and security, however, its financial and cultural institutes cast a long shadow across Iles Evangeline.
Iles Evangeline is a candidate constituent province within Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly with its own semi-elected Governor-Epistates, representative legislative body, and court system.
Iles Evangelineures are Burgoigniacs/Burgoignix with complete civil and economic rights, and citizenship (political rights) under the same federal service criteria as all residents of Burgundie. Burgoignesc is the official language but Oyashima and Burgoignesc are both in use.
Provincial executive
The provincial executive is the Governor-Epistates. Three candidates are elected by a single transferable vote election held every 5 years, the three candidates are presented to the Court of St. Alphador and the next Governor-Epistates is chosen from these candidates. If the citizenry rejects the selection, a run-off election is held with the remaining two candidates.
Provincial legislature
Like the Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg. La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional, ACAN), The Iles Evangeline Citizen's Court of the Provincial Assembly is a unicameral legislator. It makes provincial law, has the power of the provincial purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the provincial government. The Assembly has three seats for each province, one for the Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly's Iles Evangeline liaison, 3 for the clergy, 3 seats reserved for municipal leaders, and 3 for a rota of private business leaders. On 6 occasions throughout the year 3 more seats are opened to the public to debate topics that are not on the annual legislative agenda.

A respectful ceremony between outgoing District Chief, Gong Farbo, and incoming Prefect Plenipotentiary, Rachelle-Evangeliste Vanchamps d'Elisioile and their retinues of diplomats, marines, sailors, and administrative personnel after which its name was changed to Iles Evangeline after Crown Princess Amelia, of Burgundie who helped to broker the deal.
Economy
The economy of the islands is relatively developed and varied as they possess significant natural resources that the Varshani state sough to develop. Iles Evangeline have significant reserves of copper and thus strip mining of these is a major economic activity with an estimated production of four hundred thousand metric tons extracted in 2021. All of Iles Evangeline's copper mines are now under the control of the Department of Trade which is introducing the use of newer technology to increase copper production. Also present are large deposits of blue limestone and diorite which were highly valued by the Varshani for use in the construction of their monuments and temple complexes. So important were these materials to the mainland that most of the mines were nationalized and placed under the direct control of state run Arzalist foundations that directed the materials specifically to temples under construction in the mainland. Another important economic activity is the cultivation of aloe vera, which is used in Varshan's traditional medicine. Under Varshan rule, almost one third of the island's arable surface is dedicated to planting aloe fields. Tourism from mainland Varshan began to experience moderate growth and a few resorts catering to the upper castes were opened in the late 2000's. The partial restoration of the Blood Fane of Buruso saw a marked uptick in arzalist pilgrimages to the site so much that the Varshan Control Commission lodged at formal complaint with Daxian authorities, fearful of arzalist proselytism. Burgundie has banned Varshani travellers all together.
Standard of living
Employment
Burgundie's high emphasis on education translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in Audonia. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since Burgundie strives for Total Economic Engagement and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Iles Evangeline benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields.
Agriculture
Agricultural production, primarily of aloe vera, wheat, soybeans, potatoes, sugar beets, onions, pumpkins, corn, raw milk, and beef, Guar and guar gum

Tourism and hospitality
Tourism has currently been severely restricted as the Treaty Observation and Implementation Corps has set about to reconstitute the government and economy of the Iles Evangeline. But early surveys point to winter sports being a primary draw with skiing/snowboarding and dog sledding being primary activities. Thermal baths and locally brewed beer are expected to be a strong draw for the après-ski set.

Pisciculture
Pisciculture in the Iles Evangeline is focused mostly on the raising of chum salmon, Sockeye salmon, and Dolly Varden trout. Artisanal fishing is the only allowable form of pisciculture in Iles Evangeline and it produces about 1-200 tonnes of fish each year.
Since the Burgoignesc administration began there has been demand for investment in modernization of pisciculture across the Iles Evangeline to ramp up exports of Sockeye salmon specifically both farmed and wild caught. A team of experts are searching for suitable sites for copper alloy sea cages for the sockeye.
The pisciculture sector, like all other sectors in the Iles Evangeline are severely underdeveloped in the Occidental perspective. The Burgoignesc Ministry of Economy, Finance, and the Recovery's Department of Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food have established a Joint Office of Evangeline Economic Development and Food Security to identify "locally acceptable avenues to increase development and output for both local and Metropolitan consumption".

Demographics
Ethncity according to the official census (2020)
The ethno-racial makeup of Iles Evangeline has changed considerable over the years. Originally lightly settled by peoples from Oyashima since around the year 200 CE, the islands never held more than a few thousands at their population peak. The disastrous aftermath of the Tezomoc Expedition for the Oyashima fleet led to an almost complete exodus from the islands, with Varshan bringing in thousands of its own laborers to work on the many mines on the islands in the late 19th century. This demographic dominance by peoples of Varshan origin continues to the modern day, altough the brief Daxian rule and now the Burgoignesc administration has resulted in the return of some Oyashimans along with new Daxiaese, Rusanan, and Bergendii arrivals. Daxiaese and Rusanan residents were offered a stipend to leave the island upon the transfer of power to Burgundie.

Ideas
Poop factory aka GUANO. You could make it a garbage collection island for Crona. Nature reserve is an easy one, but doesn't work great in conjunction with guano mining and garbage collection. service shipping between Daxia/Alshar and your colonies. Probably an important island for the navy You can right stuff about human migration through the islands from Alshar to Crona to Australis. Plastic surgery destination for interested Cronans You could have the Varshani history be about suppression of the native Alshari population while Varshan made irredentist claims about the islands being the gateway to Crona or something You can look to feudal Japan for other history ideas for before Varshan controlled the islands cuz yknow islands
