Beloyarsky

Not to be confused with Severnyy Beloyarsky, a large town in Yugra

Beloyarsky (Finn. Valkojarkylä) is a Uralican city, located in south-central Southeast Uralica, roughly 55 kilometres east of Yekaterinburg along Highway UH-2. An important junction city, it connects three other major centres - Zarechnyy, Asbest, and Reftinsky - to the main highway, and as such, it is a major centre for the production of automotive goods and road-building equipment. There is also some metallurgy.

But probably most important to the town's economy is retail. It has the largest retail sector of any city in Southeast Uralica by proportion, which is a necessity due to the smaller retail sectors in Zarechnyy and Asbest. Highway UH-2B comes in from the latter, allowing truckers to transport rebars and other goods from the industry-heavy city to the more accessible Beloyarsky to be sold, or to be further transported along Uralica's extensive system of highways. Although not officially a highway, a de facto highway called "Twin Cities Road" connects Zarechnyy to Asbest.

Culture
The population of Beloyarsky is largely Russian with a large minority of Finns and smaller minorities of Hungarians, Bashkirs, and Eastern-speaking Mari.

With the emergence of the large retail sector in the city, it is only natural that much of the city's tourism revolves around shopping, which has created a snowball effect, making Beloyarsky something of a shopper's paradise in spite of its smaller size. (In this regard it is somewhat comparable to Emva.) With the increase in shoppers has come an increase in cultural and recreational facilities - there are several movie theatre complexes, two tennis court complexes, three public swimming pools, two public skate parks, a historical museum, and two UralTek arcades located within the city, among other things.
