Basically, all nations are randomly divided (as to ensure the sides are equal) into two teams: Santa’s Elves and Krampus’s Minions. Santa’s Elves are trying to maximise goodwill, as to ensure the best Christmas ever. Krampus’s Servants are trying to stop the Elve’s, and maximise misery. The two teams are forced to compete over who can give their stat (the misery and goodwill mentioned before) a numerical advantage over the other.

Within this game, there are two ways of distributing these stats: deeds (which are far more expensive and take more time, but are much more potent) and gifts (which are far more cheap and are less slow in production, but their overall worth in power is less). The more of each stat you have, the more likely you are to join the other team. However, the percentage of them joining the other team is completely randomised (while still being bound to some sort of likelihood), making each attack able to tip the scale. Much like N and Z day, you are only able to send an attack to one nation at a time. However, you are also given the option to reinforce your loyalty via sending gifts and deeds to yourself.

Also, there are four main roles to each team, all equally important - the producers, the defenders, the distributors, and the attackers. The producers are those who’s production rates are far higher than the rest, but their attacks are far less potent, have a higher likelyhood of being intercepted. The defenders reinforcement of the supply lines (the journey of a gift/action from one nation to another) are far more successful in protecting the payload, but are less effective in delivering a payload themselves. The distributors supply lines to members of their own team have far less chance of being intercepted, but their production rates are lower. Finally, the attackers payloads have far higher attack power (usually a bonus of 15%+), but they have a higher rate of being intercepted and have a lower production capacity.

There is also a fifth and sixth role (unlisted as mains for their selectivity), the commander and general. The commanders are selected from the best of each region (a balancing act between maintaining one’s own loyalty and converting the other team), and the general is selected from the best of the entirety of NS. The Commanders dictate what is to be produced (I forgot to mention this earlier, but what the lower ranking members produce isn’t of their own decision), who is to be focused upon (regions or nations), and who is to be promoted (Ranks ranging from Private to Colournel). However, their authority decends from the Generals, who’s approval they require to make decisions.
