The capital of Burgundie is [[Vilauristre]], located on the [[Ile Burgundie]], which is also the capital country, located just off the coast of southeastern [[Levantia]] across the L'Estrech. The country of [[Nostrestran]] is located along the southeastern coast of [[Levantia]] bound by the [[Sea of Istroya]] in the east, the [[Deric States]] in the north and west, and the Burgoignesc country of [[Faramount]] to the south. [[Faramount]] is adjacent to [[Nostrestran]] along the southeastern coast of [[Levantia]]. It is bound by the [[Sea of Istroya]] in the east and south, the [[Deric States]] in the north, and [[Urcea]] in the west. [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] is along the confluence of the [[Odoneru Ocean]] and the [[Tainean Sea]].

Burgundie is a {{wpl|thalassocracy|thalattocracy}} meaning that it considers itself primarily a maritime empire whose land holdings are secondary in importance to its maritime claims. This posture leads Burgundie to take [[Burgundian Security Forces|enforcement]] of open and fair trade across the waterways very seriously and personally. The nation’s head of state, and its executive branch, the Court of St. Alphador, is a {{wpl|Grand prince|great prince}}, a term that recognizes that the Prince of Burgundie is superior in authority all other provincial leaders, including the princes of [[Equitorial Ostiecia]], [[Faramount]], and the Duke of Marialianus who nominally services as the prince of [[Nostrestran]], the constituent principalities within the Thalattocracy. Because it is a {{wpl|Crowned republic}} its hosts a parliament called the Citizens Court of the National Assembly ([[Burgoignesc language||Burg]]: ''La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional'', ACAN). The Assembly is the unicameral legislative body of the nation with representatives from the citizenry, the [[Catholic Church|Church]], the nobility, and the Royal Family. Each member of the council is afforded one vote and the great prince is legally bound to represent the decisions of the National Assembly. The country's third branch of government, the judicial branch, is called the Lazarine Court, and serves as the nation's supreme court. | Burgundie is a {{wpl|thalassocracy|thalattocracy}} meaning that it considers itself primarily a maritime empire whose land holdings are secondary in importance to its maritime claims.
