Following [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] unification in [[1875]], [[Burgundie]] again become a world class trading nation. The maritime capabilities of the [[Revenue Guard]] were bolstered and expanded to protect this new status. [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] shipping lanes sprung up all over the world and the Revenue Guard was tasked to protect not only ships of the [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]] but all ships from piracy and peril. To meet this expanded mission, the Revenue Guard was granted a large coastal land tracts on [[Ayersee]], [[Alcairet]], [[Torlen]], [[Medimeria]], [[Equitorial Ostiecia]], [[Sudmoll]], [[Wintergen]], and [[Nauta Normand]] to fight pirates, collect taxes, enforce maritime soverignty, and to escort trade ships. These bases turned many of these remote islands into key focal points of [[Burgundie]] which had been inwardly focused on the [[Burgoignesc Metropole|metropole]] for the last 50 years and reinvigorated the concept of the united and co-equal [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]. It is also the start of [[Burgundie]] taking a leading role in the enforcement of the concept of the [[Freedom of the seas]] with its harbors being considered safe harbor for all ships conducting legitimate business and the waters patrolled by the Revenue Guard as safe passage. | Following [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] unification in [[1875]], [[Burgundie]] again become a world class trading nation.
