Criticisms

Daxia

Daxia in particular extends this definition to also include Ayermer and Sudmoll because of their proximity to key ports in Daxia and Stenza respectively. It has long been a point of conflict between Daxia and Burgundie. During the Age of Sail it lead Daxia to develop its own trading company, the South Seas Development Company and its fleet the Harmonious Flotilla Invincible. During the Second Great War, Daxia laid seige to and then invaded Ayermer, in the Battle of Ayermer, which Burgundie lost.
