The Republic of Burgundy
A history of Burgundy
Burgundy was originally a kingdom, but after a revolution in the late eighteenth century, it became a republic. Over recent years the republic has become very militarised, and the President has been drawn from the upper ranks of the Burgundian Army.
Burgundy has had a long-standing rivalry with the Kingdom of Schwarzenberg, and the two countries have fought several wars. The Burgundians also have aspirations to create a colonial empire, which they see as being both a source of raw materials and a market for their manufactured goods.
The economy of Burgundy
The country’s economy is a mixture of heavy and light manufacturing industries, mining, and agriculture.
The armed forces of Burgundy
The country's army is composed of a small but well-equipped regular core which trains annual classes of conscripts, who then pass into the first- and second-line reserves.
