There is a hockey team on Argaea, the Emperors, named for the penguins, based in Le Havre. Argea is also the home of the Burgoignesc Istoyan Winter Games Teams. The various skiing, bobsledding, luge, and hockey teams all are based in Argaea which is a huge draw for tourism. Their facilities are a major economic driver in the villages that they are situated in. | |||

Due to the remoteness of the islands there are no commuter passenger ferries. However there are two {{wp|ports of call}} for crusie ships, Le Havre and Lille on the eastern and western sides of Argaea Maior respectively. These {{wp|ports of call}} are designed only for tourist use and all commuter travel is done by plane. | |||

Phone service is provided by Island Mobile, and Landline service is available and is still popular with those who live in the rural parts of Nauta Normand. Because of the number and intensity of the broadcasting and receiving equipment used by the government, cellular service can be spotty at times when the government is using all of its apparatuses. | |||
Highspeed internet service is provided by National Wireless Services a public-private ISP offered to areas of the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]] that don't have enough demand to create a competitive market. Residential internet speeds average 2 gigabits while commercial speeds are typically higher in the 3-4 gigabit range. National Wireless Services piggybacks on the Island Mobile towers and also has two towers of their own which provide highspeed wireless connections deep into the logging lands on the west of the island. | |||
There are also two [[Global Maritime Distress and Safety System]] repeaters and a beacon on the islands. | |||
