Usolye

Usolye (Finn. Usolje) is the smallest of the three constituent cities of the Solikamsk-Berezniki Unitary Authority in Uralica, and is largely known as a university town, as the UA's campuses of Uralikan Yliopisto and State College of Uralica are both located there.

Usolye's main industry is still, to this day, salt-mining, although the economy is much more diverse nowadays. There is also a large print and publishing industry, which is hardly surprising given the newfound academic nature of the town. Furthermore, with no actual highway access to much of the "Westbank" area (the rural towns west of Usolye), Usolye is important as a retail hub for the area, and a small "shopper's paradise" for people from nearby parts of Permski Rayon as well.
