Wintergen ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: Ouintergene), is an over-seas province of [[Burgundie]] located in the eastern [[Kilikas Sea]]. It shares a maritime border with [[Faneria]] to the southwest and [[Vithinja]] to the northeast.

It is home to 719,990 Ouintergens. It's capital and largest city is Hivernille which also serves as the province's largest port facility. Most of the island's residents live in one of three large settlements, Hivernille, Volcamor, or Santmai. The reminder of the island is kept uninhabited by the logging companies who own the vast majority of the land. | ||
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. | 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.

Wintergen has only one professional sports team, the [[Levantine_Hockey_League#Hivernille_Albatrosses|Hivernille Albatrosses]] who compete in the [[Levantine Hockey League]]. They employ a total of 257 people directly. Founded in [[1845]] as the Merchants, the company team of the [[Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company]], was formed by Emmanuel-Vichois Ermau de Milasse Esq. as a niche joke by the tropical [[Bergendii]] who were curious about the '''{{wp|Field hockey|carietizein}}''' like sport played on the ice. They remained the Merchants until the advent of mascots in the 1940s when they adopted the albatross, the logo of the [[Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company]], as their own. The fans connected with the albatross and put together a fanclub petition to have the name changed. In [[1951]], the team finally adopted its current name, the Albatrosses. They own the Hivernille Arena which is a multi-purpose sports arena complex and convention center on the outskirts of Hivernille. The arena has 8,149 seats in its ice hockey configuration and 10,000 for concerts and other events. | |||
The Hivernille Arena complex also hosts amateur and semi-professional hockey, basketball, {{wp|Balle à la main}}, lacrosse, curling, {{wp|Barette (sport)|Barette}}, banked track roller derby, {{wp|Canne de combat}}, {{wp|Savate}}, {{wp|French school of fencing|fencing}}, tennis, and {{Wp|pétanque}} events. | |||
====Albatross Fandom==== | |||
Fans of the team are called Albatroaz and are notable for their violence and hooliganism. Female fans are also known for their promiscuous behavior and flamboyant style. The team is particularly popular with the working class of [[Hivernille]], and to a certain extent is a symbol of resistance amongst the working class of other [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] cities. The logo is pervasive across the athletic wear of working-class [[Burgundie]], regardless of which team the individual supports. It is not uncommon for poorer hockey fans to have a set of Albatross gear as well as their local team. | |||
