Culture in Burgundie: Difference between revisions

Culturally, [[Burgundie]] is one of the least vernacular and most mechanical nations in the world. This means that there is a level of homongony across the diverse and vast Thalattocracy. This is an accidental side effect of the centralized, planned mechanization put forward by the various royal institutions since the [[New Burgundie Secession War]], but especially since the [[Great Cronan War]]. These mechanization efforts, namely in the wide spread use of air conditioning, mass transit, and subsidized domestic migration have allowed the Burgundians to live anywhere in the world under the same conditions as they would on the [[Ile Burgundie]].

Many international sociologists term this ''Laissez-faire Vilauristrification'' in reference to the fact that the phenomenon was accidental and that the [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] cultural experience is becoming more like that of the capital in [[Vilauristre]]. This has been more noticeable in the [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] territories outside of [[Levantia]], as Levantine Burgundian culture is the core that many other vernacular cultures within the Thalattocracy are being pulled towards. Outside of [[Burgundie]], this has been observed across southern [[Punth]]. Many in southern [[Punth]] see [[Burgundie]] as the paragon of modernization and progress and thus have adopted many of the mechanizations that have led to this shift in [[Burgundie]].

While often confused, the Bergendii are only a fraction of those who carry the demonym Burgundian. The term Burgundian refers to all peoples who reside in [[Burgundie]], regardless of their ethnicity.  

Of the Burgundians, the [[Bergendii]] are the largest ethnic group. Sometimes referred to as ethnic Burgundians by other cultures, this group is pervasive across many nations around the world. However, only those who originate from the Latinic group that populated the [[Ile Burgundie]] between 100BC and 11th century AD are considered Bergendii. This Latinic group created a divergent culture with its own traditions and language, and after turning on the Latinic Arani of southeast [[Faneria]], most scholars think that they had become a unique group. Their phenotype also paints a picture of some limited genetic mixing with local ethnic groups, which their linguistics and traditions support. The Bergendii are now truly northern [[Levantia|Levantine]], despite their equitorial origins.
