The Kingdom of Burgundy, with an area of about 250,000 square kilometers, is about the size of the entire Italian Apennine Peninsula on Earth. Its area is the third largest among the South China Sea countries, but its population is as high as 26 million, ranking first among the South China Sea countries.

As mentioned earlier, this country is the richest country in the South China Sea. This is not to say how rich the resources of the Kingdom of Burgundy are, in fact, to explain clearly, we have to start with the various forces within the entire world government….

Is the world government monolithic internally?

Of course not, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Zhao Wuxi has only summoned 9 characters, and there are already signs of discord, let alone an organization with both power and power such as the World Government, which is extremely large and has extremely complex interests and interests? Therefore, the following must be roughly described the factions within the world government.

1. Draco, the biggest beneficiaries of the world government, their power and degree of corruption are naturally not to be mentioned, directly skipped.

2. The dignitaries of the countries that are affiliated with the world government, there are more than 170 countries of the world government in the anime, but in this real world, the specific number of member countries is 445!

First of all, the world of One Piece is dominated by the sea and islands, and the only continent is the red earth continent, and there are no eight continents like the eight continents on the earth. Sometimes, a small island is a principality, and there is only one town or simply only one village on a small island, and a small island with only a few hundred villagers cannot be called such and such a country, right? According to the regulations of the world government, only islands with a population of more than 100,000 are eligible to be called principalities, and those with a population of more than 300,000 can be called kingdoms. Of course, the king of a small principality certainly does not have the same say in the world government as the king of a kingdom, unless there is some big power behind the small principality, or there is something particularly valuable in the principality.

In general, the magnates (kings, nobles, officials) of these 445 allied countries are trying to fight for their own interests and make their share of the pie bigger. However, none of these countries have the right to bargain with the world government, and they dare not say anything like “our country is going to withdraw from the world government”, otherwise tomorrow their place will be replaced by others.

3, the reformers within the world government, this, strictly speaking, the reformers within the world government are also divided into many kinds, here for convenience, so they are directly classified into one category, no longer subdivided.

Most of these reformist members are the common class that has obtained seats in parliament within the world government, such as the boss of a large chamber of commerce, a large company, etc., in other words, the rich common class, they are eager to obtain political power, and for those rich common people who pay high taxes to the world, the world government will give them seats in parliament, of course, there are many kinds of parliamentarians, high and low. Other reformists are non-military personnel holding official positions within world governments.

These people are generally dissatisfied with the excessive power of the Draco, and desire nonviolent changes in politics, such as weakening the privileges of the Draco. From the perspective of a modern earthling, it is probably the bourgeoisie.

4. The army, the sense of existence is very low, but for the world government, it is also an indispensable part.

5. Navy, in this world where sea power dominates, the impact of the navy carrying the banner of justice to maintain law and order on ordinary civilians is naturally needless to say, in fact, the navy is the strongest force at sea (at least on the surface).

However, the Navy often plays the role of a watchdog for the world government. The lawlessness of the Tianlong people, the prevalence of the slave trade, the rampant conquests in the major kingdoms, the shady scenes of the world government… Coupled with the Qiwu Sea Organization established in the past two days, all of them are overdrawing the credibility of the navy itself, because the navy directly belongs to the world government.

6. Five old stars, the biggest beneficiaries of the world government, a total of five people. These five old guys have a good interpretation of what is called “Great Hidden in the Dynasty”. These five old things hiding behind the scenes can control everything arbitrarily in the dark, as long as they want, they can kill all the heavenly people of Mary Joa at any time, as for what slave trade, conquest and tyranny in the major kingdoms, in the final analysis, it is just a matter of their words.

However, in terms of results, except for the fact that the four emperors of the new world will unite, the five old stars put on the appearance of doing nothing to govern, and it is clear that they want to balance. If there are people or forces trying to upset the balance, these five old things will really move.

It is in the interests of the five old stars to maintain the balance and maintain the status quo among the major forces within the world government.

As for the low-level civilians who have no money and no power, they naturally only have to suffer, which is why the number of pirates in the One Piece world remains high. After all, if even survival is a problem, naturally going to sea to be a thief is the first choice. In the original book, the reason for the formation of the era of the sea thief is attributed to Roger’s words before his death, but in the real world, this is a bit of a cheek. Roger can only be considered a catalyst at best.

So what does this have to do with the wealth of the Kingdom of Burgundy?

The answer is no direct relationship. In the Kingdom of Burgundy, there are investment assets of the major forces within the world government that have been raised above, and taking the five old stars, for example, the five of them have assets worth a total of more than tens of billions of Baileys in the Kingdom of Burgundy. This is why the naval garrison of the Kingdom of Burgundy is as high as 150,000.

Therefore, if Wushi intends to sack the Kingdom of Burgundy, it is likely to offend all the major powers of the world. Previously, nothing had harmed the interests of the Heavenly Elder Muhammad and a human trafficking syndicate. But if everyone’s cake is moved, it is a trick to die, and at that time, even if Zhao Wuxi can slip away, the future life will be very sad, which is why Kurapika is worried at the meeting.
