Mordoviya

Mordoviya is a Uralican county, based on the historical region of the same name. The county was one of five new counties officially created on 15 November 2009. The vast majority of Uralica's Mordvin Tribe lives in this area, speaking Moksha and Erzya. Mordvins comprise roughly 70% of the population, with Finns, Russians, Chuvash, and a small number of Tatars making up the balance. A little over 3/8 of the population lives in Saransk, the county seat.

It also contains the official starting point of UH-1, the Great Uralican Highway, which is the village of Barashevo.

There has been a mass "Mordvinization" of city and town names since the annexation.
