Apatity

Apatity (Finn./Kare. Apatiitti) is a Uralican city, located in southern Sapmi county. It is 23 kilometres west of Hiipinä, a popular ski resort, and is located on Highway UH-28, a branch-off of Highway UH-7, giving it unfettered access to trade routes crisscrossing Uralica.

The name gives a hint as to the city's most important purpose - the mining and processing of apatites, which are in incredible abundance in the general area, and are used to make phosphate fertilisers.

The city once had a maximum population over eighty thousand, however economy and war have taken its toll on this. It was at its lowest during the inter-war period between Great Wars II and III, but after GW3 the population jumped from the number of refugees from the major cities in the north of what was then Murmansk Oblast. Nowadays, the population is back to pre-Cataclysm levels.

Besides phosphate production and mining, Apatity has small machinery, food, and appliance production sectors, a strong retail sector, and a modest finance sector.
