Kushva

Kushva (Finn. Kusva or Kusiva) is a Uralican city in Southeast Uralica, situated just off of Highway UH-6, and only four kilometres (border to border) from Verkhnaya Tura.

Once a major centre of iron ore mining, the ore ran out in that particular area and the town began to stagnate and then shrink. It took evacuations from Perm' and Yekaterinburg to repopulate the then-town, but after the Unjust War, a lack of work made the town shrink again.

It took the discovery of iron ore elsewhere to rejuvenate Kushva's economy, but also, a diversification program started by Uralica helped significantly. Industrial gases, metallurgy, cement production, watch-making, food-production, and appliance-making are key industries within Kushva.

Culture
Ethnic Russians make up the bulk of the population of Kushva, although the furthest-removed community of Mordvins from Mordoviya lives in Kushva as well, most of whom speak Erzya.

Although largely an industrial city, there is a well-visited museum of local history in Kushva, and the city was selected to be one location of a museum of Uralican war history. The old mine pit is in the process of being cleaned up to be filled in, but there is debate on whether to deepen it and make it a lake, or fill it in with dirt and turn in into a recreational ground.
