| Throughout the {{wpl|Age of Discovery}} and the {{wpl|Age of Sail}} the coastal Duchies of Marialanus, Martilles, and Burgundie, of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], developed colonial empires of various sizes through trading companies. This was precipitated by the [[Great Confessional War#Expulsion of the Protestants|Expulsion of the Protestants]] from southern [[Levantia]] following their loss in the [[Great Confessional War]]. Many of those protestants were processed off-continent through [[Burgundie]] who turned them into a massive global exploration and {{wpl|settler colonialism|colonizing}} force, known as [[Pharisedom]]s.

| | During the [[Great Wars]], '''Yonderian volunteers''', also known as '''''Volonderres''''', made up a considerable amount of the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] serving in both combat and non-combat roles on land, air and sea for the entirety of the war. Although the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] already had a number of regiments of Yonderians even before the [[First Great War]], it received a number of major influxes of volunteers, chiefly at the very beginning of the war in 1928 and 1929, after which a steady flow of new volunteers was maintained throughout the war. Although it is hard to determine the exact number of Yonderians who served as volunteers, it is generally estimated to be around 1.5 million, making Yonderre by far the neutral nation to have contributed the most combatants to any warring nation of the [[Second Great War]]. It is known that at it's height in 1938, the Yonderian contingency of the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] numbered more than 300.000 men under arms, chiefly in frontline units. |
|
| |
|
| There were also some [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] {{wpl|Colonia (Roman)|coloniae}} (e.g. [[Veraise]] and Islevenin) but it was not as common.
| | Due to universal Yonderian conscription policies the Volonderres had already completed national service in the [[Yonderian Defence Force]], and so were only given courtesy training in [[Burgundie]]. Yonderian volunteers were a welcome addition to the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]], and Volonderres holding enlisted and non-commissioned officer ranks in the YDF were generally inducted into the Legion at their respective ranks, while volunteer officers would go on to retrain with the Legion and generally go a rank down from their YDF standpoint before joining their units. |

| ==Sociology== | | ==History== |
| The genesis of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Imperialism_and_Colonization|colonial culture]] was to seek out the kingdoms of the {{wpl|Biblical Magi}} and to unite "all the lands whose kings adored Christ". As such, at least at its genisis, what has been retrospectively termed a ''{{wpl|Mission civilisatrice}}'', was the search for co-equal kingdoms with which to join forces in [[Catholic Church|service of Christ]]. The thesis that Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar came from Christian kingdoms was flawed from the start and meant that the Papally ordained/funded explorations of the coastal [[Derian identity|Derians]] never found what they were looking for. It did however, lead to a self-righteous bent of Imperialism and settler colonization that spanned [[Audonia]] and [[Alshar]] in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. Exploration and colonization in northern [[Audonia]] was justified under the banner of searching for the kingdom of {{wpl|Balthazar (magus)|Balthazar}}, the same for southern [[Audonia]] in search of {{wpl|Melchior (magus)|Melchior}}, and same again in [[Alshar]] in search of the kingdom of {{wpl|Caspar (magus)|Gaspar}}. This earning for oriental connection remains to this day but has been informed by many other factors beyond this initial concept.
| | ===Background and name=== |
| | Since the days of the [[Knights of the Realm]] in the late middle ages, [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] mercenaries have had a reputation for fearless military prowess, a notable early example being [[Siegmar von Willing]]'s [[Black Company]] which took part in many major battles of the [[Great Confessional War]] and other conflicts of the time. Long before the [[Second Great War]], the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] had already raised several regiments of Yonderians to fight in wars for [[Burgundie]], supplementing the mercenary soldiers that were already being hired from Yonderre. A common and recurring joke from the 17th century told in Yonderre and Burgundie alike was that the Yonderian army was at all times "''on loan''" to the Bergendii. Beginning with the influx of Yonderian volunteers to Burgundie in the [[Second Great War]], the Yonderian volunteers were often referred to as ''Volonderres'', a contraction of the [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] word ''Volonteuer'' ([[Julian Ænglish]]: Volunteer) and ''[[Yonderre]]'', a term which would later spread into general use in [[Levantia]] to refer to Yonderian volunteers. |
|
| |
|
| This is also retrospectively used to describe [[Burgundie]]'s general lack of interest in the colonization of [[Crona]].
| | Yonderian volunteers to Burgundie came chiefly, but not exclusively, from the ethnic and cultural [[Bergendii]] communities of Yonderre. Incentives to join were many for the would-be volunteers; for many it was a way out of unemployment that had been present in Yonderre following the [[Great Depression]] and stock market crashes of 1910. For others, it was a question of protecting Yonderre's [[Culture in Burgundie#Cultural hegemony|historic and cultural motherland]] in the face of increasing [[Burgophobia]]. |

|
| ==Tenents of Burgoignesc Colonial Rule== | | ===Immediately prior to the Great War=== |
| ===Early/Establishment Period Trends=== | | ===Beginning of the Great War and first influx (1928-29)=== |
| *[[1598]]-[[1635]]
| |
| *Emporia, minor ports and forts
| |
| *[[Kiravia]] has made first contact in lots of places so Burg is vying for local access, gets ahead because they re-empower local magistrates from the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] with whom they had trading contacts before the Caliphate collapsed.
| |
| *Burgs more open and accepting of foreign cultures and hierarchies as a way to curry favor
| |
| *The colonies are still reliant on the metropole for sustainability
| |
| *Examples:
| |
| **[[Kandara#"Western"_contact_(16th_century)]]
| |
| **[[Pukhgundi#Colonization]]
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Self Sufficiency Period Trends=== | | ==Volonderre units== |
| *[[1635]]-[[1693]]
| |
| *As the generation of ex-[[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] magistrates age out/die Burgs take more direct control of politics, land management, and resource extraction but its still very decentralized, mostly up to the patroons
| |
| *{{wpl|Patroon}}ships, {{wpl|Latifundia}}/{{wpl|Plantation}}s
| |
| *Slavery becomes the primary financial function of the colonies
| |
| *Massive influx of Levantine Protestants sees rabid expansion of the initial coastal colonies to accommodate promises of land grants
| |
| *Colonial militias are the primary defense for the colonies against other native peoples on the frontiers
| |
| *Examples:
| |
| **[[Kandara#Kandoori-Fana_wars_and_slaving]]
| |
| **[[Oyashima#Colonization]]
| |
| ===Dominance Period Trends===
| |
| *[[1693]]-[[1785]]
| |
| *Trading companies take more direct control and organize colonial administrations, later presidencies that are much more efficient
| |
| *Due to the influx of Protestants and slavery some colonies become majority Bergendii
| |
| *Colonial militias take a back seat to large majority native regiments under the direct control of the trade companies who take on entire nations of peoples and drastically expand the colonies
| |
| *Examples:
| |
| **[[Oyashima#Company_rule]]
| |
| ===Late Period/Colonial Loss Trends===
| |
| *[[1785]]-[[1848]]
| |
| *Trade companies get rich and corrupt more focused on prestige then efficient colonial administration
| |
| *Colonies are unmanageably large and corrupt administrators refuse to break them up into more manageable and efficient sizes
| |
| *High taxes and tarriffs on occidental settlers make colonial administration unpopular with its core
| |
| *Native military units mutinying as traditions and customs are crossed by uncaring and out of touch colonial military leaders
| |
| *Great Rebellion of Slavery Bay spreads across many core colonies and starts a mass exodus of settlers that exacerbates all of the afformenttioned issues and creates an unprecedented refugee crisis
| |
| *Poor leadership both in the colonies and the Metropole leads to the defeat of most all of the mainland settler colonies leaving only some scattered islands
| |
| *Examples:
| |
| **[[Kandara#Great_Rebellion_of_Slavery_Bay]]
| |
| **[[Oyashima#Late_modern_era]]
