Argaea is the pre-eminent [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] scientific research area with over 75 laboratory and data analysis facilities, 97 research stations, and 4,390 weather monitoring stations. These are administered by the Burgoignesc Australis Program ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg:]] ''Programme Australis Burgoignesc (PAB)'', Division of Polar Programs ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg:]] ''Division des Programmes Polaire (DPP)'' | Argaea is the pre-eminent [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] scientific research area with over 75 laboratory and data analysis facilities, 97 research stations, and 4,390 weather monitoring stations.

The original permanent station was built by [[Navy of Burgundie|Seabees]] during November [[1936]], as a part of [[Burgundie]]'s commitment to the scientific goals of creating a better maritime navigational system, which would ultimately lead to the creation of {{wp|LORAN}} and the {{wp|Automatic identification system}}. Through the [[Second Great War]], the number of scientists, mathematicians, physicists, astronomers, and secretarial staff to do data collection and analysis exploded and by the wars end there were 43,400 people living on the remote islands. They almost all left after the war, with only the original botanists, marine biologists, and climatologists remaining. Many of the buildings were abandoned and succumbed to the environment. In the 50s, with the advent of the [[Occidental Cold War]], Argaea became an ideal location to do secret research away from the prying eyes of [[Caphiria]] and its spy network. A number of top-secret projects were moved to Argaea and a network of bunkers were created as part of the {{wp|continuity of government}} | The original permanent station was built by [[Navy of Burgundie|Seabees]] during November [[1936]], as a part of [[Burgundie]]'s commitment to the scientific goals of creating a better maritime navigational system, which would ultimately lead to the creation of {{wp|LORAN}} and the {{wp|Automatic identification system}}.

In September [[1964]], the scientists at Australis started ice coring, a practice they have continued approximately once a decade since then ([[1974]], [[1985]], [[1995]], [[2007]], [[2017]], and [[2027]]). The ice core samples have been used to examine historic snowfalls, ice melts, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, radiation levels, average ambient temperatures, and have been used in the climate mapping project in conjunction with other stations and nations around the world. | In September [[1964]], the scientists at Australis started ice coring, a practice they have continued approximately once a decade since then ([[1974]], [[1985]], [[1995]], [[2007]], [[2017]], and [[2027]]).

In [[2016]], Argaea released its first finished project in the form of an international time database. The project helped synchronize time across all the nations in a standardized format and help synchronize all calendars that use the Argaean format. The calendar format was announced to [[Burgundie]] as the first finished project, and is now accepted by many nations as an acceptable standardized time format. | |||
As of [[2021]], Argaea is working on a central database to store vital trade and economic information from all countries in a unified format. The project is still ongoing as of [[2035]] but is expected to be finished within the next decade. | |||

=== Argaean Seed Bank === | |||
The '''Argaea Global Seed Vault''' is a secure seed bank on Argaea. The [[League of Nations|World Food Programme]] started the vault to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds that are duplicate samples, or "spare" copies, of seeds held in other gene banks worldwide. The seed vault is an attempt to ensure against the loss of seeds in other genebanks during large-scale regional or global crises. The seed vault is managed under terms spelled out in a bi-lateral agreement between the [[Government of Burgundie]] and [[League of Nations]]. | |||
The [[Government of Burgundie]] entirely funded the vault's approximately $8.8 million construction. Storing seeds in the vault is free to end users, with [[Burgundie]] paying for the majority of the banks operational costs. | |||
