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 part of [[Burgundie]]'s [[Government of Burgundie#Constituent Countries|Burgoignesc Overseas Territory Assembly]]'s [[Geography of Burgundie#Wintergen|Polar Burgundies]] geographic designation. It is home to 319,990 to 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.

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's primary sectors are as a customs and logistical hub between the [[Kiravia]]n trade markets and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] markets, fishing, logging, and apple cultivation. There are some minor oil reserves within the EEZ of Wintergen which are being tapped but the offshore drilling sector is comparatively small.

Wintergen is a strategic military hub and the bases are a major economic engine driving $438 million/year of ancillary, non-military financial activity.

===Standard of living===
===Employment===
Because Wintergen's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from research to traditional fishing and herding, opportunities abound for Ouintergens at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around X% for the last decade.
[[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less educated countries in [[Kiro-Borealis]]. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since [[Burgundie]] strives for [[Total Economic Engagement]] and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Wintergen benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields.
===Agriculture===
[[File:Apple orchard at Putley - geograph.org.uk - 2197971.jpg|200px|right]]
[[File:Apple harvest boxes of apple orchard on Île d’Orléans in Canada.jpg|200px|right]]
The apple varietals of Wintergen have been refined over the last 150 years to focus on apples that are desirable for cider and {{wp|calvados}}, which, along with lumber, are Wintergen's primary export.
About 20% of the apples harvested are sold as is to fruit sellers. 1-3% are retained for a growing agro-tourism market to be handpicked by tourists from orchards.
Other key agricultural products include strawberries, apples, raspberries, wild lowbush blueberries, half-high blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries.
===Brewing, and distilling===
====Cider brewing====
All apples harvested for alcoholic beverages are first crushed into cider and then fermented, the apples to be kept as hard cider are fermented then bottled. The cider to be turned into Calvados is dry fermented and then sent on to the calvadoseuers.
====Calvados distilling====
[[File: Chateaux Neuf Pins bottle.jpg|thumb|right|Bottle of Chateaux Neuf Pins extra grade calvados]]
[[File: Chateaux Ste. Eloise bottle.jpg|thumb|right|Bottle of Chateaux Ste. Eloise vieille reserve grade calvados]]
The apples are harvested and sold to one of three cider houses. There they are pressed into a juice that is fermented into a dry cider. It is then sold to one of two calvadoseuers where it is distilled into eau de vie. After two or three years of aging in oak casks, it can be sold as calvados. The longer it is aged, the smoother the drink becomes.
The two largest calvadoseuers are:
*Chateaux Neuf Pins (Ænglisch: Chateaux Nine Pines)
*Chateaux Ste. Eloise (Ænglisch: Chateaux Saint Eloise)

Logging is the largest sector by land mass and employment on the island. 2/3rds of the island are covered in logging plantations that are operated by three companies: [[Irvine Timber Products]], Roumeline Ltd., and Ouintergene Products. The primary species grown are softwoods, namely balsam fir and black spruce. The hardwood found in the region is mainly white birch.

===Fishing===
===Fishing===
Commercial fishing, particularly {{wp|lobster}}ing and trawling. While lobster is the main seafood focus for Wintergen, the harvest of both oysters, seaweed, shrimp are on the rise. The main fishing fleets are based in Santmai since the shipping traffic makes fishing out of Hivernille less favorable. Contaminant and noise pollution has made fishing near Hivernille impossible and trying to navigate around the constant flow of ships more of a hassle than it is worth.

*[[O’Shea Container Shipping]] has a small shipyard and maritime repair facility; and
*LeClair Fishing and Trawling Hardware manufactures trawling and lobstering equipment.
 
===Creative industries===
[[File:Lightning_presentation_Wikipedia_Day_Chicago_4.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[2013]], a young [[Vithenja]]n started a design studio in Santmai. The increased speed, power, and access to the internet meant that this type of white-collar work did not require a physical presence. He made a channel documenting his experiences on [[Thinkpages]] which became very popular on the [[Occidental]] {{wp|Creative economy}} internet. Other young digital entrepreneurs and hipsters flocked to Santmai in the [[2014]]-[[2021]] timeframe changing the town entirely. What was once a logging and fishing outpost was, by [[2020]] a cosmopolitan village with universal, free gigabit wifi, some of the finest coffee shops in [[Levantia|northern Levantia]], 3 craft beer breweries, 4 barber shops specializing in beards and moustaches, and a general {{wp|lumbersexual}} vibe. The average income jumped from $37,489 to $84,329 but the locals did not share in the new wealth. Santmai is now a globally renowned incubator for "artisanal, bespoke experiences in the fields of {{wp|advertising}} and {{wp|marketing}}, {{wp|architecture}}, {{wp|product design}}, {{wp|graphic design}}, {{wp|fashion design}}, and {{wp|visual arts}}."

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.

Port Hivernille was built in initially built in [[1884]] as part of the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] attempts to legitimize their claim to the island in the aftermath of the [[First Fratricide]] as a fishing and whaling port. Since the end of the [[Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars]] and the [[First Great War]] at the dawn of the 20th century, [[Burgundie]] and [[Kiravia]] normalized relations and began to trade. The port expanded a number of times throughout the 20th century, most notably during the [[Second Great War]] when the port doubled in size to accommodate naval ships. Parts of the new port facilities were destroyed by a series of [[Faneria]]n naval and bomber raids. After the war, the port languished for a time until the advent of [[Containerization]] in the 1960s and 70s. The port was rebuilt from [[1968]]-[[1973]] to accommodate a container terminal. With the collapse of [[Kirosocialism]] in [[1984]], the port became an important hub of the new trade between capitalist [[Kiravia]] and [[Burgundie]].

====Rail====
Wintergen uses [[Track gauges around the world|Standard gauge]], 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) for its freight rail.
Borail (a portmanteau of boreal and rail) is the is the public-private joint-venture, intercity, passenger rail operator in [[Nauta Normand]] and [[Wintergen]]. It owns and operates all rail corridors, rights of way, and rolling stock that serve this purpose.
Wintergen only has industrial, freight rail service. None of the 850km (528 mi) of rail is rated for passenger traffic. Because all of the rail is designed specifically around the logging industry the rail network all converges and estimates from [[Wintergen#Port_Hivernille|Port Hivernille]]. The rail is all standard gauge but has a unique third rail and the distance of standard narrow gauge. This is because all timber train trucks are fitted with "guide wheels" or a small centrally located axle that works between the outermost rail to the center rail. These was added as a safety measure do you derailments during heavy rains that can wash out the ballast under some of the ties. The narrow gauge guide wheels have proven effective in reducing the number of derailments as a result of washed out ballast and rail shifting as a result.

====Road====
Car ownership is common in Wintergen but family untits typically only have one car. Transit options exist for school, work so cars are used primarily for chores and housekeeping and visiting friends and family. Because of the cost of gasoline, personal vehicles are rarely people's first choice for transit. Wintergen has 1647 km (1023 mi) of roads, but only 848km are improved. The remainder are logging roads that are owned, operated, and maintained by the logging companies. The majority of the roads are in Hivernille, Volcamor, and Santmai with large arterial roads connecting them. There are three bus systems the:

Wintergen Schools Regional Transit Authority- the school bus authority for the island. After school, on weekends and during holidays it also does rentals and charters. It is not uncommon for families to charter a school bus during a vacation to a remote camping ground or to visit family in another town if you want to bring a lot of luggage.

====Energy and electricity====
====Energy and electricity====
Most of the electricity in Wintergen is provided by the Remalaund Power Factory outside of Volcamor. The Remalaud Power Factory is a {{wp|Geothermal_power#Binary_cycle_power_stations|Binary cycle, geothermal power station}} built in [[2012]] to replace the flash steam station geothermal plant that had been built in [[1984]], itself replacing a peat burning station that had previously powered the island.
There is also an undersea power and internet cable from Myshell, [[Faneria]] that supplies some energy as the grid fluctuates.
====Phone service and internet====
Phone service is provided by Island Mobile, a co-op with a basic infrastructure layout, that covers the three main municipalities on the island. The logging companies own truck mounted mobile repeaters to extend the service into their {{wp|Unincorporated area}}s, but most companies also maintain a number of satellite phones in their timber camps. There are 6 cell towers that cover 84% of the population despite only covering 18% of the landmass of the island. Landline service is available and is still popular with those who live in the rural parts of Wintergen.
Highspeed internet service is provided by National Wireless Services a public-private ISP offered to areas of the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]] that don't have enough demand to create a competitive market. Residential internet speeds average 2 gigabits while commercial speeds are typically higher in the 3-4 gigabit range. National Wireless Services piggybacks on the Island Mobile towers and also has two towers of their own which provide highspeed wireless connections deep into the logging lands on the west of the island.
There is also a [[Global Maritime Distress and Safety System]] repeater and beacon on the island.

==Demographics==
==Demographics==
The 319,990 who live permanently on Wintergen are primarily [[Catholic]] [[Bergendii]] with growing population of other [[Occidental]]s from [[Faneria]] and [[Vithinja]]. There is a small community of Finna Urgic natives who still remain on the island as well, but they have long been integrated into the [[Culture in Burgundie|Burgoignesc way of life]].
The language of Wintergen is the [[Burgoignesc language]] but due to its proximity, many people also speak some of the [[Coscivian language]] and [[Fhasen]].
