Rezh

Rezh (Finn. Ressi, Russ. Реж) is a Uralican city, located in the north-central part of Southeast Uralica. It was founded in 1773 as an iron-working settlement, an occupation that is central to Rezhevlyanins' lives even to this day.

But there is more to Rezh's industrial sector than just iron-working. Quarrying, machine-building of various types, food production, textiles and clothing production, wood production, toymaking, and mining of industrial-grade minerals are also large-scale in the city. Furthermore, there is a booming retail sector in the area, particularly in the area of Swiss-style watchmaking, using gold imported from Creek Nation, and jewelry, owing to nearby silver-mining and local semi-precious gemstones.

Culture
It is still unknown as to where exactly the city got its name from, although some suggest the name is Mansi in origin. Still, for a city so far removed from the main urban corridors of the county, Rezh has a surprisingly diverse population. Russians still form the ethnic majority, but there are many Finns, Hungarians, Estonians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, and even Mari in the city, and there are also small numbers of Khants. It is unusual within Uralica that it has speakers of that live within its city limits - although most of the remaining speakers of the language live in Nizhnevartovsk due to its proximity to the linguistic Urheimat of the nearly-extinct  language family, about a hundred of these Ket-speakers moved to Rezh to work in the stone mines.

There are several cultural attractions in the city, including the ruins of an Old Believers monestary, a ruined monument to labour and military glory (it was damaged during Great War III), and the Church of St. John The Baptist, which still regularly holds Orthodox services.

In terms of museums, Rezh has a unique crystallography museum. The reason for this is that Rezh sits in a "semi-precious band" that contains several protected gem mines containing these semi-precious stones, such as emeralds, tourmalines, topaz, opals, and varieties of quartz like amethyst and rose quartz. These mines are often toured.

On top of this, Five Brothers Park (named after a nearby rock formation - this contains the town pond and a very picturesque view of some forested hills) is a favourite place for tourists to take photos during the summer. On the outskirts of the city, wild berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries) grow in abundance.
