Muravlenko

Muravlenko (Finn. Muraulienko, Russ. Муравленко) is a Uralican city, located in southern Yamalia. It connects to Highway UH-22 at the city of Khanto and the town of Purpe via Highway UH-22A.

Like many cities in Yamalia and neighbouring Yugra, Muravlenko was founded as an oil city. Unlike many of these cities, though, the oil still exists there, although the reserves are expected to run out by early 2012.

With this in mind, when the city was annexed with the rest of the now-county, Uralica began an economic diversification program within the then-town. Since single-industry settlements are ineligible for city status under Uralican law, this was welcomed by the city council. Since the wood in the area is quite poor, though, lumber milling is unfortunately not viable, so any wood farmed in the area is used strictly for pulp-and-paper production. But there are also machine-building, concrete production, train equipment production, quarrying, and chemical production sectors in the city. There is also a rapidly increasing hi-tech consumer goods sector and a small agricultural sector.

Culture
Finding "culture" was initially hard for residents of Muravlenko, considering how the city only celebrated its 25th anniversary mere days before being annexed. But they decided to learn a little bit about the rugged land on which their young city stood. It has been found out that the territory was within traditional range of both the Nenets and the Selkup, with the Khants having lived more to the west of them along the banks of the Ob River.

Ethnic Russians were once an almost absolute majority, but now, as with most such centres, other ethnicities exist in the city as well, most notably Finns, Khants, and Nenets.

There are no real "touristy" spots in Muravlenko, although the city is in the process of expanding its Nenets-ethnographic museum.
