abstract
| - Severodvinsk (Finn. Tivinala) is a medium-sized city, one of three incorporated settlements within the Arkhangel'sk-Severodvinsk Unitary Authority and joint claimant of Uralica's largest seaport. Aside from the fact it shares a seaport stretching for nearly forty kilometres with Arkhangel'sk, which includes several ship-building facilities and civilian drydocks, it has a large hi-tech sector, and is a centre of manufacturing for road-building equipment. The city's population was in a downward spiral going into Cataclysm because of economic woes, and this would continue up until just before Great War III when it reached its lowest population since 1973. However, in Great War III it served as an important military construction facility, and its economy began to recover as a result. By the time Uralica annexed it about 16 months later, it had regained its importance as a ship-building and hi-tech production city. The later decision to form a joint seaport agreement with Arkhangel'sk (the Arkhangel'sk-Severodvinsk Combined Seaport) would send the city into a new age of economic prosperity. It sits at the northern terminus of Highway UH-3, giving it fast, unfettered access to much of the western nation.
