| - Santaists are collaborators and sympathizers who support the evil goals of Santa Claus. Considered public threats in the nations in which they live, they lead highly secretive lives, hiding their allegiance to Santa throughout the year, emerging only during the Christmas season to terrorize their neighbors. These cultists leave presents for him in their homes in order to signify their allegiance to his cause, and are thusly spared from the yearly massacre. The term "Santaist" is actually a colloquial one used by those unsympathetic to Santa's goals. In the North Stripper Pole, the military and propaganda services who clandestinely support worldwide Santaist cabals have traditionally called them "Red Shirts", after the red tunics modeled after Duchy military uniforms that they wear. Santaists refer to themselves as The Nice. They are often confused with Satanists, though no relationship between the two groups has ever been established. So far, there is no provable like between The Nice, and the scientifcally proven Red Shirts phenomenon. The arch nemeses of The Nice are the enemies of Santa, collectively referred to as "The Naughty". These fearless defenders of freedom have led the fight against Santa since the mid-1920s, and their successful repulsion of Santa's armies every year has fueled an unparralled hatred.
