Langepas

Langepas (Finn. Langeppas) is a Uralican city in Yugra county, situated on Highway UH-1, about 15 km north of the north bank of the Ob River, and between Surgut and Megion.

Like many settlements in the area, oil and gas extraction were the initial purpose of the town, however the economy has shifted focus since the discovery of large quantities of silver and silver ores in the area, making it a particularly rich town. Granted, mining and argentous metallurgy aren't the only industries in the town. There is also a thriving aggregate quarry nearby, plus the construction of heavy machinery, the production of hi-tech consumer goods, household appliances and furniture, and even food production go on in the city.

Langepas is jokingly referred to outside of Uralica as the "gun porn capital of Uralica," due to the fact that there are two large handgun factories in the city.

Culture
Langepas means "squirrel channel" in the Khanty language, and this town's Khanty origins are kept preserved in a well-kept municipal museum, which is run by those Khanty that live in Langepas. Still, the majority of the people in Langepas are ethnic Russians or Finns, with a decent population of Hungarians living in the city as well.

Municipal museum aside, a recent cleanup effort of the Kayukovskaya River (the minor Ob tributary on which Langepas sits) and fish-stock repopulation schemes have made Langepas a jumping-off point for fishing enthusiasts, who will fish up and down the river.

Given that the area is quite snowy, there is a yearly ice sculpture competition in Langepas. The 2009 winners were the Yosipova family, who constructed a replica of the Founding Fathers statue in Syktyvkar, which has the eight people regarded as most important to the foundation of Uralica.
