Konosha

Konosha (Finn. 'Konosa) is a Uralican city, which is the second-largest settlement in Woodlands after Veliski. It sits on Highway UH-17.

It was founded in 1898 as a railway station along a rail line running from Yaroslavl to Arkhangel'sk, but has since diversified into a multi-industrial city, with food production, machine-building, print and publishing, domestic forestry production, and agricultural machine repair being large sectors in the economy. On top of that, Konosha has the largest metal-recycling sector of any city in western Uralica, taking in as much as fifteen times the amount of metal that larger centres such as Vologda, Cherepovets, and Murmansk do.

Culture
The city's population is surprisingly diverse. Russians, Finns, and Karelians form equal parts of the population, with there also being Mari, Livonians, Chuvash, and Mennonites in the population.

There are two major museums in Konosha - a historical museum of the city, as well as one dedicated to Konoshane poet Nikolay Yakshin. Furthermore, there are a great many noteworthy churches in the area, most of them built in the Uralican country style. Also, it has become one of the top cities for sport tourism, primarily because there is a high-level football (soccer) academy in the city.
