Sysert

Sysert (Finn. Suserti, Russ. Сысерть) is a Uralican city in Southeast Uralica county, which is considered a bedroom community of Yekaterinburg - part of a massive conurbation that contains over a fifth of Uralica's population. It sits far enough from Yekaterinburg, some 50 kilometres to the south (city centre to city centre), that it can be considered a separate city, but its connection to Uralica's largest city is unmistakable. Highway 19 links the two cities, and also connects Sysert to a major trade route that runs south out of Uralica to Chelyabinsk, which is a connection to the old M5 trade route running west all the way to Moscow through several major cities of Old Russia.

Its main industries include ferrous and argentous metallurgy, oil refining, plastics manufacturing, hi-tech consumer goods manufacturing, and chemical manufacturing. There also is a decent-sized concrete production industry.

However, it is largely a residential community. It isn't the shopper's paradise that Yekaterinburg can be, however its commercial district is good enough that many people coming north into the nation will stop there to buy supplies and fuel.

Culture
Sysert's population has gone from almost exclusively Slavic even in 2008, to a multiethnic mishmash. Russians are still the largest ethnic group in the city, comprising 52% of the population. However, there are also large populations of Hungarians (32%, making it the fifth most Hungarian city proportionally), Finns (10%), and Bashkirs (9.2%). Some Udmurts, Estonians, and Mari also live in the area.

Its sights include a couple historical museums, the Cathedrals of St. Anne and St. Simeon, and the birthplace of folk author/historian Pavel Bazhov.

Sport
The only professional sport teams in the city are football clubs (with the exception of Sysertsky RMS, which is handball), with only one (FK Sysert) presently within the Nelonen). There is talk of adding several other pro sport clubs to the city, though, as there are a great many amateur clubs in the city.
