The pseudo-guards are particularly easy to get rid of since you just need to chuck away one base. Not that there aren't already too many Gallic unlawful bases, especially given the (current) crippling homogeneity of their diplomacy.
Burgundy is like my cuddly warm friend with its huge orange planet who's been there for me since 4.85, but it has been replaced by Berry as Dauphine's next port of call and the main way into Lyonnais. Berry is a dirty, cheap whore and I think she should go off to be the mostly-useless Champagne-connecting system instead of my beloved Burgundy.
