Short History
After Napoleon's victorious Waterloo Campaign, the Emperor marched to meet the Austrian Army. The result, indecisive, was enough to stir rebellion in France and Belgium itself. The most successful one, being the Borgonnian, in which the common people bonded together around Leugim de Borgonnia, the "hidden Duke", then a 12 years old messenger.
A little nation, located somewhere between Burgundy and Alsace was enlarged in order to punish France and establish an European balance of power. A staunch Austrian ally it gained most of the areas when of the Rhine when its Alsatian Army defeated the Prussians at Strassbourg, halting -or so it seems- Bismark Grossdeutschland dream.
