Karelia

Karelia is a Uralican county, based on the former Russian Republic of the same name, but not on the whole historical region of Karelia, which also includes parts of Old Finland as well as the area surrounding Sankt-Peterburg. The capital is Petroskoi, a city known as Petrozavodsk until annexation and the changing of the name in accordance with a change made to the city's charter.

The population is surprisingly mixed, with Finns being only a slight majority over Karelians and Russians. Also, Saami peoples live in the north and Livonians in the south, outside the area that was once the Republic of Karelia within two smaller districts that were claimed from the Karelian Isthmus near Sankt-Peterburg. In the southeast, those Livonians speaking Livvi (also called Olonets Karelian) centre around the large town of Aunus.
