Economy of Burgundie: Difference between revisions

When Burgundie became independent, it eschewed as many Fiannrian institutions and traditions as it could, to distinguish itself. Corruption was one of those traditions, less an endemic problem across the whole of Fiannria and more an issue with the Fiannrian appointed Dukes in Burgundie. In the early days of independence a moral and social campaign was embarked upon to do away with corruption. It was soon considered an affront to not only your family, but your community and the fledgling nation. The strong sense of commonwealth of the BergesMenn, that has always kept them together despite foreign rule, was also at stake in corruption cases and the citizens wouldn't stand for it. In time, corruption, while not legally punishable, was to become social suicide. Families with ties to corrupt politicians and businessmen were shunned and socially exiled. In the 21st century this is as true as ever and in light of the accusations that the justice system is corruptly pro-business, people have begun to question the courts more openly.
