Micrasanta

Micrasanta, occasionally stylised as MicraSanta, is a legendary character on the planet of Micras and among its community. Created in November 2007 by micronationalist Dr-Spangle to appear on an MCS-themed advent calendar, Micrasanta acts as the planet's equivalent of Santa Claus and has become a popular character that appears around Christmas each year.

Some minor folklore surrounds Micrasanta. He is said to reside on the flying island of Airosamente, regardless of current political claims, from which he delivers presents on Christmas Eve. Micrasanta is frequently depicted as wearing a suit made of blue and red material. This is a parody of the urban legend of Santa Claus' red suit being based on the brand colours of Coca-Cola, as Micrasanta's suit matches the colours of rival drinks company Pepsi, as suggested by Craitman during the character's formation. However, he also shares a number of other features with Santa Claus; chiefly that he delivers presents via a flying reindeer-drawn sleigh, and judges children's behaviour to determine which ones are deserving of receiving them.

In parts of central Benacia, Micrasanta of the blue-clad sleigh-flying variety is considered to be little more than the imperfectly-replicated archonic simulacrum of a regional undead pseudodeity known as Lord Toastypops, whose wintertide judgement of mortals through the profferance of confected gifts and corpse wax has become central to the cultural tradition of Minarboria and its rump of successor states. The latter's creed of uncompromising jollity, however, serves to limit any direct rancour between the two entities and their respective followers.
