Bucolos et fils is an Alduro-Wechua family-owned surveying and cartographic company, noted for its extensive history in fine mapmaking and service to successive governments and notables, most recently involved in the production of a series of maps of the Federation at the request of Queen Alexandra.

The company is officially headquartered in Punta Santiago, Alduria, although most of its operations are nowadays centered in Narbonne. The company's previous premises in Norvind are still maintained as the headquarters of its bathymetric operations.

History

The company's history begins long before the entity itself. The progenitor of the family, and of its association with mapmaking, was the Shirerithian cartographer Shyriath Bukolos. From 1573 to 1623 AN - almost exactly fifty years - he was the sole creator of the Gloria Mundi project, a high-quality atlas of Micras that was kept regularly updated to reflect the ever-shifting borders of the world's nations. This work won him international renown,
