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. | |||
