URBAN AUTHORITIES AND CITIES OF URALICA
Most of Uralica's largest cities are contained within urban authorities, which grants them autonomy over affairs that would normally be devolved to the state. There are presently twelve of them, although there is potential for more.
Greater Yekaterinburg / Большой Екатеринбург / Iso-Katariinala / Nagyobb Katalinvár
UA Abbreviation: GYK
Containing roughly a sixth of Uralica's entire population at just over ten million people, Greater Yekaterinburg is the most populated second-order division in Uralica, even outdoing Southeast Uralica. The city of Yekaterinburg itself makes up around 70% of the population, the remaining 30% being independent suburbs under the larger authority of the UA. It is the heart of the largest of Uralica's three industrial cores with just about every industry imaginable having a foothold, plus it is effectively Uralica's commercial and financial capital, housing Uralica's main stock exchange (the Ural Mountains Stock Exchange), the headquarters of most of its major banks (including the Uralikan Ykköspankki), and many of the largest retail outlets in the country. It is also home to eight of Uralica's ten tallest buildings, the tallest of which is the Eurasia Tower, at exactly four hundred metres in height.
Culturally speaking, there is no greater hodgepodge of people groups than Greater Yekaterinburg. Besides having people from every Uralic group attested in last census, even in small numbers, it also has every non-indigenous religion accounted for, as well as some practitioners of indigenous faiths from east of the Urals. 100% of the country's Buddhists, Hindus, and Baha'is, 85% of its Sikhs, and 80% of its Shafi'i Muslims live here. It is also home to Uralica's largest mosque (not to mention six of its largest ten overall), and its second-largest synagogue. Uralica's second-largest university, Universitet Yekaterinburga, is located in the northern suburbs. A large percentage of Uralica's foreign expat population lives here as well.
In terms of official state languages, Yekaterinburg does not actually have any, instead relying on the national official languages. This isn't to say that nobody speaks a language other than English, Russian, Finnish, or Hungarian, but any government service or public service outside of education is conducted only in those four languages. When it comes to primary and secondary education, on the other hand, there are schools in almost any language considered official anywhere in Uralica - national, state, or recognised minority - and any one not represented is covered by the national remote-schooling (that is, homeschooling) service.
Perm / Пермь / Permi / Perem
UA abbreviation: PER
Perm was Uralica's largest city at one point, and had to be completely rebuilt to get there, as it had been more or less levelled by Great War III. Now, with around three million people, it is Uralica's second-largest city, largest single-city urban authority, and one of its most productive industrial cities. It is sometimes called the "industrial heart of Uralica," as its industrial output, even now, is larger than Yekaterinburg's, and as cities go, it is the #1 in Uralica for heavy manufacturing and automobile production, and #2 for electric power generation behind Surgut - the last of these coming from the rebuilt hydro dam within city limits. Its R&D sector rivals Yekaterinburg's as well.
It is also a centre of culture and education, and in particular, the rebuilt ballet and opera house is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Uralica. It also has a sizable art gallery. Unlike Yekaterinburg, there is a certain specificness to the ethnic flavour of the city thanks to the widespread prevalence of Komi and Udmurt. The Permian Cultural Centre is another major tourist attraction for this reason. Perm is home to the third-largest synagogue in Uralica.
The official state languages are Komi-Permyak and Udmurt.
Kirov / Киров / Kirovi / Kirov
UA abbreviation: KIR
Kirov was the first city declared an urban authority under the Uralican system, and although it has been long-eclipsed by Yekaterinburg, Perm, Izhevsk, and even Cherepovets as the largest industrial centre in Uralica, it is still a very important cog in the machine! Nowadays, it is often referred to as the "Aerospace Capital of Uralica" because of its large commitment to that industry; it also houses the largest of Uralica's air force bases, plus it has Uralica's largest and busiest civilian airport. Besides this and other manufacturing, it also has a decent-sized forestry production sector.
Kirov is home to the Uralican Institute of Technology and the headquarters of Community Colleges of Uralica, which runs all of the trades schools in Uralica (plus some other schools). As with any major Uralican city, music is a huge part of city life, and it contains the largest - and probably the most sober - night club in all of Eastern Europe, the TranceAddicts Club, which despite the name dabbles in many different electronic music genres. "No drugs or drunkenness" is a hard-and-fast rule there.
As with Yekaterinburg, Kirov has no official state languages.
Syktyvkar / Сыктывкар / Sihtiukari / Sziktivár
UA abbreviation: SYK
Once a modest-sized forestry city, Syktyvkar is now a booming commercial and cultural centre, that hasn't necessarily abandoned its forestry roots and has a decent-sized river port. It is the political and cultural capital of Uralica, being home to the Uralic Cultural Centre, the Filharmonia (the world's largest symphony hall), and the Uralican World Trade Centre, which housed Uralica's former tallest building, the Bolak Building. Jarkko Salomäki, formerly the Neo-Tribal Chief and now just into his second presidency term (out of three permitted) since Uralica became a republic, lives here and will continue to do so even after his terms run out - he represents the riding of Sysola in the northern suburbs.
One of the newer sets of buildings is Uralikan Yliopisto, Uralica's biggest and most prestigious university. There is a large number of undergraduate programs there and a decent number of graduate programs, including seminary, an MD program, and specialised business administration programs for . Its linguistics program is particularly reputable!
It has many other attractions within its borders. It is also within a short distance of the Church of the Resurrection, Eastern Europe's largest church, which is in Pazhga (about a 20-minute drive south of Syktyvkar UA limits).
Official state languages are Komi-Zyrian, Komi-Permyak, Komi-Yodz, and Plautdietsch.
Ukhta-Sosnogorsk / Ухта-Сосногорск / Uhta-Mäntyvuori / Uhtá-Szasznógorszk
UA abbreviation: USG
An authority surrounding the two contiguous cities of Ukhta and Sosnogorsk, it is considering merging into one city and becoming part of Komiland, to become its state capital - indeed, it is the largest urban area in the former Komi Republic after Syktyvkar, having surpassed Vorkuta in 2015 per unofficial estimates that were later confirmed by the 2017 census. However, it has in its way the fact that it is very much an industrial city with little in the way of tourist appeal, unlike cities such as current Komiland capital Pechora, and the two other major cities in Komiland, Inta and Vorkuta. One exception to this is the Bolak Tower in Ukhta, at one point the tallest building in Uralica and still ranking in at seventh overall; this is the headquarters of the ubiquitous industrial-commercial conglomerate Bolak Corp., which is Uralica's largest corporation and has international subsidiaries on every continent. It is named after perhaps the most famous leader of the Christian Coalition of Countries, Sheldomar Bolak from the Republic of Displaced Calvinists. It and two other major companies run oil and gas extraction operations here, plus there are also mines and quarries in the Urals for whom offices are maintained in the city. Collectively, Ukhta-Sosnogorsk is one of two major retail hubs for the northwest Urals, the other being Vorkuta, since Pechora is more focussed on politics and being a gateway to wilderness tourism.
It should come as no surprise that Komi-Zyrian, Komi-Permyak, and Komi-Yodz are official here. There is also a larger Finnish population here than most places in the surrounding Komiland.
Viena Delta / Дельта Северной Двины / Vienansuisto / Véná Deltatorkolati
UA abbreviation: DSD
Uralica's busiest port authority is the basis for this urban authority, which is primarily consistent of the cities of Arkhangel'sk, Severodvinsk, and Novodvinsk. Most of the "touristy" things to do are in the first of these, which is saturated with culture, with its numerous churches, museums, and art galleries. Fishing, forestry, and manufacturing are the primary industries of the UA, and sea-bound trade is its #1 commercial draw. Thanks to Uralican icebreaker technology, considered the best of any country in the world, Viena Delta is open year-round, regardless of whether it is at sea or going inland via the Viena River, Uralica's longest, and its major tributaries. Much of the in-country trade comes into the UA via Novodvinsk or the eastern parts of Arkhangel'sk's port area. Severodvinsk, on the other hand, is almost exclusively international.
Most of the population is "Russo-Uralic" and speaks Russian as a mother tongue, but there is also a small Nenets community in the northern parts of Arkhangel'sk, and many people from other parts of Uralica come here to work, as jobs are always available! That being said, Tundra Nenets is the only official state language.
Nizhny Tagil / Нижний Тагил / Alatakkila / Alsótagyil
UA abbreviation: NTG
One of Uralica's industrial powerhouses, every industry imaginable operates out of Nizhny Tagil. It ranks second in industrial output per capita behind Perm' and third in raw output behind Perm and Yekaterinburg; in terms of specific industrial sectors, it is #1 in chemical production, #2 in metallurgy behind Cherepovets, #2 in automotive and heavy manufacturing behind Perm', #2 in hi-tech behind Yekaterinburg, #2 in military production behind Izhevsk, and #3 in light manufacturing behind Perm' and Yekaterinburg. So you could say it is very thoroughly an industrial city. But it isn't without its cultural and "touristy" things to do as well. It gives tours of its decorative tray factories (and many other factories have tours as well), and has several museums, artisan shops, and places of interest. It has a well-developed formal nightlife as well, with high-end restaurants and a couple of symphony halls/opera houses in the city core.
It used to have a reputation as a city of prisons, although all but two of the numerous prisons were shut down long before Uralica annexed the area, and today there is only one left open, with the prisons being more evenly distributed throughout the country, and generally farther from large centres. There are no official state languages of Nizhny Tagil, and most people here favour communication in Russian or English.
Solikamsk-Berezniki / Соликамск-Березники / Solikama-Koivumetsä / Szolikamszk-Bereznyiki
UA abbreviation: SBZ
Early on in Uralica's history, it was obvious that the cities of Solikamsk and Berezniki were growing together, so the Uralican government set them aside together in an urban authority. The former is best-known for salt-mining and the latter for chemical production and potash-mining, and both have had issues in the past with large sinkholes, so the urban authority helped them put their heads together to find a beneficial solution to this problem. Largely industrial, there are still some touristy things to do; one of them is to catch a Zavod Ural Solikamsk game! Their football (soccer) team is the pride of the city, as it participated in the Siberian Tiger Football League in 2009, one of three Uralican football clubs to participate internationally. Besides the usual history museums, Solikamsk has one devoted specifically to all things salty - after all, it is literally named after salt (and the Kama River on which it sits). Berezniki has a bizarre tradition of spending four days in July celebrating mosquitoes.
Komi-Yodz has official status here, even though much of the Yodzyak population moved north into Komiland rather than south. Still, a number of Yodzyaks live in Solikamsk in particular, and work for the salt-mining companies or in public service.
Izhevsk / Ижевск / Isikari / Izsvár
UA abbreviation: IZH
Izhevsk is the historical capital and largest city of Udmurtia, and is also a cultural, retail, and finance nexus in the area, with only Yekaterinburg, Syktyvkar, and Kirov having larger finance sectors in Uralica. It has the distinction of being the largest producer city of military equipment in Uralica, but has much-diversified from pre-Robertian Russia, when that was
the primary industry. Manufacturing of all sorts now occurs here, and there's even a small chemical production sector as well.
Uralica's largest synagogue and second-largest mosque are both in Izhevsk. The entire population speaks no fewer than four languages - English, Russian, Finnish, and Udmurt - and many also speak Tatar and/or Yüdmurtisch (the Udmurt dialect of Yiddish, which is regarded by Uralica as distinct from Standard Yiddish). There are numerous museums, the most popular tending to be the Kalashnikov Museum of Small Arms and the Udmurtia Museum of Fine Arts, and not surprisingly, the typical Uralican love of music permeates the city. At one point, Izhevsk was considered the capital of Russian electronic music, and still has a strong reputation for electronica even if Kirov has since supplanted it.
Udmurt and Yüdmurtisch are official state languages, and there is a petition to the urban authority council of Izhevsk to make Tatar state-official because of the proportion of Tatars in the city. It has a decent amount of support, and one notable Uralican behind it is Dr. Ovdey Shlomov, himself an Izhevsk native.
Vologda / Вологда / Volohda / Vólogdá
UA abbreviation: VLG
Even though the surrounding state is named after it, Vologda opted to separate and become an urban authority very early after being annexed. There are two dates argued over for foundation, and if the earlier one is true, it would be the oldest city in Uralica, dating all the way back to 1164. Regardless of date, Vologda is very old, and much of the older architecture was thankfully left untouched during the decade of constant warring that was the Robertian Era. As you could probably guess, it is rich in culture and history, and with the number of sites to celebrate thus, it actually rivals the likes of much larger Yekaterinburg, Syktyvkar, and Kirov for tourism. Probably the most popular tourist attraction is the Vologda Kremlin, the citadel in the city centre, which largely functions as a historical museum, but there are church services in the two churches on site: The Gate Church of the Exaltation of the Cross (technically part of the museum but loaned to churches for Sunday worship free of charge) is used by Vologda Kremlin Presbyterian Church, while nearby Sofiyskiy Sobor is actually
owned by Vologdy Pervaya Russkaya Baptistskaya Tserkov' (First Russian Baptist Church of Vologda) and runs tours of the beautiful building during the week when no church activities are ongoing.
In terms of industrial production, it is overwhelmingly a manufacturing city. Heavy manufacturing includes the production of sawmilling and pulp-and-paper milling equipment, trains, transit vehicles, agricultural equipment, mobile buildings, and shipping containers, while the lighter manufacturing puts out a number of home consumer goods and smaller parts for larger machinery, such as bearings and optical equipment. It is also known for its traditional lace-making, which is actually taught in modular classes at the local community college campuses and has led to a decent-sized business franchise in lace-making, whose headquarters is in Vologda. Its alcohol factory still runs, although consumption through drink has plummeted (not entirely disappeared). Instead, it manufactures and distills alcohols for other uses, such as sanitizers, portable heat sources, cleaners, rubbing alcohol, and gasoline additives.
Most people in Vologda prefer to communicate in the four official languages, especially Russian. There is no additional official state language.
Cherepovets / Череповец / Tšerepovets / Cserepovjec
UA abbreviation: CHP
"The Russo-Uralic Pittsburgh" is the nickname given to this city, which prior to its secession from what is now called Vologodski Rayon, was the largest city in that state, and is still the largest city in the
de facto region Western Uralica (which also includes Karelia and Sapmi). The reason it has this nickname is for its massive production of metals, especially steel, and under Uralican rule, Severstal has become the world's #1 steel-producing company by tonnage, with its headquarters and most productive factory complex in this city, and subsidiary factories in every Uralican city over a six-digit population without exception. In spite of the name, Severstal's operations are not limited to iron or steel, although certain other metals have greater output from different companies (Bolak Corp., for example, is more dominant in quarrying, copper production, and nickel production, while Magyar Independent is more dominant in work with titanium and tin). Severstal's spinoff company, Severfram, is the largest tungsten-based metallurgy company in the Eastern Hemisphere. It too has its headquarters located in Cherepovets. Upgrades to industrial technology have changed Cherepovets from the second-most-polluted city in pre-Robertian and even early Robertian Russia to a city that is well within international environmental standards.
Also, there are a few tourist attractions. "Cherepovchanye" love their sports, and the sports club "Severstal" has a team in just about every top-level sports league in Uralica! There are many theatres, museums, artisan shops, and restaurants in the downtown core, and some beautiful old churches that have been restored fairly recently. It is also home to a Veps Cultural Centre, as a decent number of Veps people have moved south into Cherepovets. Not surprisingly, Veps is an official language of this urban authority, but a bit more surprisingly (not really if you look at the census), so too is Estonian.
Surgut / Сургут / Surkut / Szurgút
UA abbreviation: SRG
The most recent urban authority of the lot, having been made official in mid-2011, Surgut is the largest city in Uralican Siberia (that is, Yugra and Yamalia) and second only to Yekaterinburg in population of cities east of the Urals. It is considered an oil boomtown, and the economy is still largely driven by fossil fuels and electric power production (in both of which it ranks #1 in Uralica). For overall industrial output by dollar value, only Perm' is higher overall, and not by much. There are smaller portions of just about every sector on the books here as well, although much of the mining is left to cities closer to the Urals.
But just because it was founded as an industrial city doesn't mean it is lacking in culture, right? This
is Uralica we're talking about. There's always something. That "something" is more substantial that one would expect if you judged it by cities such as Perm' or Ukhta. Even though the monuments to communist giants such as Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin have been removed, there are many monuments to historical Russian, Russian Empire, and Uralic figures, including Taras Shevchenko, the father of Ukrainian literature, and more recently, to the great Russian composers of years gone by. Recent buildings have also reflected a cultural shift from Russian to Hungarian, giving the city a very unique East-meets-West flavour, and there is nowhere in Uralica that more promotes Hungarian culture than Surgut. Heck, they went so far as to erect a statue of Franz Liszt next to the conservatory that bears his name! 100% of the population speaks both Hungarian
and Russian, and code-switching is frequent.
Surgut is also home to the largest Khanty and Mansi communities in Uralica, and the number of people that speak those languages in this city is more than any other city in Uralica. They each run a cultural centre and language school within Surgut, which has government financial backing because those two are state-level official languages.
There are some cities that are being considered for urban authority status, although the maximum number that will be allowed (per government decree) is twenty. The current list is:
- Cheboksary / Чебоксары / Supaskari / Súpasvár (code would be CHB)
- Yoshkar-Ola / Йошкар-Ола / Joskar-Ola / Joskár-Olá (code would be YSH)
- Saransk / Саранск / Saranos / Szárán-Os (code would be SAR)
- Murmansk-Severomorsk / Мурманск-Североморск / Muurman-Vajenga / Murmanszk-Vájenga (code would be MMS)
Uralica has 185 cities. The prerequisites for a city are as follows:
- Must have at least 20 000 people.
- Must have at least six arts schools per 20 000 people, of which no fewer than two must involve music and no fewer than one each must involve visual arts and other performing arts (dance or acting).
- Must have at least one campus of the State College of Uralica. Joint campuses between two or more cities up to a maximum of five are allowed.
- Must have a sufficient commercial district - subject to the inspection of a representative of the Uralican Infrastructural Standards Committee.
- Must have sufficient road infrastructure - subject to the inspection of a representative of the Uralican Infrastructural Standards Committee.
- School classes must not average over 27 children per classroom. (Uralica's teacher-training programs are always packed for this reason!)
- Must have their city charter approved by the High Council.
- Must have access to a numbered highway.
- Must have an airport within 40 kilometres. (Not saying it has to be a big one
