Civil Defense in Burgundie

Starting in earnest during the New Burgundie Secession War on the 1920s and ending with the proliferation of thermonuclear ICBMs rendering them ineffective in the 1970s, Burgundie started a public works program for the production of mass sheltering and Continuity of Government fallout shelters. In 1925, the Vilaurustre defenses were expanded and coastal defenses and flak towers were added. The bunker system built to support these were used as the basis in Marialanus for a similar system in 1927. The military utility of the bunkers in Northern Levantia faded as the Great War shifted from Levantia to Ixnay and then Crona, but as the development of long-range, high altitude bombers rendered traditional anti-aircraft measures obsolete, Burgundie decided to expand the bunkers of the 1920s. In 1939, Vilauristre, Dorft, ETC, started a system of municipal bunkers in preparation for long-range bombing runs from Caphiria or from Kistan. The various systems were completed by 1944 and a new need for them in Flordeterra was identified. 34 of the largest municipalities were studied and 16 given the green light. 8 were completed by the war's end, the remaining 8 fell victim to mismanagement, shortage of labor, or redirection of the workforce to other more poignant projects.

Following the end of the Great War, a brief pause in the construction of bunkers ensued.
