Wintergen is known for its jagged, rocky Kilikas Sea coastlines; the extinct volcano in the western third of the island; the heavily forested interior; picturesque waterways; and its wild lowbush blueberries and seafood cuisine, especially lobster and clams. Santmai has emerged as a {{wp|Creative economy}} hub for [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]], [[Vithinja]]n, and [[Faneria]]n yuppies. As a result, Santmai is experiencing a high degree of gentrification while Hivernille and Volcamor are considered grubby working-class towns.

==History==
[[Wintergen]] is not known to have had a permanent population prior to the year 1000 ''anno Domini'', though the Finnic peoples of [[Koskenkorva]] were aware of its existence and visited it sporadically for fishing purposes. It became known to [[Coscivian civilisation]] when it was sighted by Keður Valēkas' flagship during the return voyage of his first expedition to [[Great Kirav]]. A subsequent [[Coscivian]] expedition established a small settlement on the islands.
By the 19th century AD (XXXth century CC), most of [[Wintergen]]'s small population lived in a handful of timber camps harvesting wood, most of which was exported to [[Burgundie]] to supply its prolific shipyards. Supplementary economic activities included fishing and subsistence farming, though the island suffered from poor soils and weather and a scarcity of arable land. Though some Coscivian families had lived on [[Wintergen]] for generations and spoke a unique (and now extinct) Coscivian dialect, most of the population were transient workers from [[Koskenkorva]] and the [[Great Kirav#Far Northeast|Far Northeast]] who lived on the island as fishermen and woodcutters for three or four seasons at most.
The 1820s a devastating bark beetle blight that almost eliminated the remaining forests on [[Burgundie]]. Desperate for more wood as the demand from timber-producing areas outstripped the local's ability to harvest it, some enterprising [[Port Diteaux|Port Diteauxoise]] shipwrights convinced the [[Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company]] (BNLTC) in [[1823]] to occupied the timber camps of [[Wintergen]].
In [[1836]] the [[Golden Council of Ten]] decreed the Act of Economic Union, claiming that [[Wintergen]] was forevermore an integral part of [[Burgundie]].
Following the island's capture and formalization into [[Burgundie]], the [[Kiravia]]n government and population were expelled. However, the conflicts with [[Burgundie]] bore on and [for some reason that I will maybe add here if applicable] were ultimately resolved in [[1896]] without settling the island's legal status.

*Despite being illegal in [[Kiravia]], abortion tourism is quietly on the rise. Because it is prosecutable under both [[Kiravia]]n passport law (in federal court) and extraterritorial jurisdiction for Kiravian nationals (federal or provincial court) great pains are taken to conceal the true reason for the visit, and it has led to a rise in human smuggling in the [[Coscivian Sea|Coscivian]] and [[Kilikas Sea]]s. The [[Government of Burgundie]] has come out strongly against this practice and the [[Revenue Guard]] has increased its presence and anti-smuggling patrols in Wintergen and [[Nauta Normand]] as a result.
