North Pole Enclave
The North Pole Enclave is a Christmas-themed branch of the Enclave based in Northwest British Columbia.
Historical background
Led by Senator Claus, a former Congressman, the senator was cryogenically frozen, being released in 2275. However, upon being unfrozen, he was deluded to believe himself to be a form of Santa Claus, having witnessed hundreds of Christmases go by without the opportunity to celebrate them, as well as witnessing the depravation of the rest of the wasteland into chaos and violence, rather than the spirit of the holiday.
Creation
For the North Pole Enclave to appear, a game rule must be set, which allows it to exist, taking up territory normally belonging to both the Broken Coast and the Dredgers.
Events
National focus
The North Pole Enclave national focus tree can be divided into 1 branch and 3 sub-branches:
- Claus Awakens Branch
- This branch sees Senator Claus awaken from his cryogenic hibernation, recruiting Super Mutant elves, and declaring his return to the Wasteland.
- Good Will and Cheer! Sub-branch
- A sub-branch determinant on Claus awakening as Nice. The sub-branch sees Claus and "Nice" nations obtaining a positive national spirit, forming a faction, and declaring war, first on the Broken Coast, and then on every other "Naughty" nation in the wasteland.
- Repair the Workshop Sub-branch
- A sub-branch focused on building up Santa's Workshop, increasing production efficiency, and building up/converting the Frozen Isles into "Senator's Sweatshop".
- Panic and Despair! Sub-branch
- A sub-branch determinant on Claus awakening as Naughty. The sub-branch sees all nations obtaining a negative national spirit, declaring war on all Canadian nations, becoming an "Overclaus" and finally declaring war on every wasteland nation.
Politics
National spirits
The North Pole Enclave begins with no national spirits.

Behind the scenes
- The North Pole Enclave was originally added in Old World Blues patch 2.0.11, lasting from December 25, 2019 to January 1, 2020.[1] Afterwards, they were added as an optional game rule to the mod.
- The North Pole Enclave was created by Zapdude and Shudderfly.[2]
- Shudderfly proposed an idea that, due to Claus being a politician, he would sponsor a program to cryofreeze orphans until their parents were found, however, due to the Great War, Claus instead unfroze the orphans, dipping them into the Forced Evolutionary Virus to create "elves". However, Zapdude believed the idea was both "too stupid and too dark", so it was never implemented.[3]

Santa has elves, right? And senator claus is an analogue for santa, duh.
The senator was a pre war politician, and sometimes politicians go on goodwill campaigns, where they sponsor some project for the downtrodden, cut some red ribbons, take a few pictures, etc etc
for pr stuff
And enclave made FEV, since it's a sillier nation we can just say a little was stored in this compound for whatever experiment the enclave never got around to after the bombs dropped
but it was going to be that Senator Claus sponsored a program to cryofreeze Orphans untill parents could be found, but they never got unfrozen because the bombs dropped
and then when claus woke up and was sufficiently loopy, he unfroze the orphans and dipped them in FEV, thus creating an army of short mutants that were his "elves" lmao
Yea Zap thought the idea was both too stupid and too dark so we didn't end up doing it like that, I dont think."
