Baranchinsky

Baranchinsky (Finn. Barankainen) is a Uralican city in Southeast Uralica. Formerly a subordinate settlement of Kushva, it became a separate municipality in 2009 upon Uralica's annexation of the area, and now has its own full connection to Highway UH-6, which it sits 6 kilometres to the west of.

The city has undergone many changes of status over the years. It is one of few Uralican settlements to actually have been merged and later split back off from a parent settlement, and this happened three times, first being merged with Kushva in 1928, split off during the early 1990s, merged back into Kushva again in 2004, split off in mid-2006, merged back in 2007 after Great War III, then finally being split off again in 2009.

Nowadays, Baranchinsky's economy centres around machine-building, although small-scale consumer goods, hi-tech, and metallurgy are also prominent in the economy.

Culture
The population of Baranchisky is ethnic Russian for the most part, with a large minority of Finns and a smaller minority of Hungarians making up the balance.

The area was first mentioned in 1580 in the journals of Cossack Yermak Timofeyevich - Barancha Creek was crossed by the same with his bands of Cossacks as they had started towards the Russian conquest of Siberia - although the settlement itself was only founded in 1747. Still, the historical museum keeps an accurate record of all these things. There is also a history of electrical machinery given in the same. This complex aside, there really aren't many cultural tourist traps in the heavily industrial city.
