Nizhnaya Tura or Nizhnyaya Tura (Russ. Нижняя Тура, Finn. Alatura, Hung. Alacsony Tura) is a Uralican city located in Southeast Uralica, just off the western side of Highway UH-6. After a referendum on 6 January 2010, it was decided that the city would merge with Lesnoy but keep the name Nizhnaya Tura - the Lesnoy citizens wanted to shed the legacy of secrecy that came with being a former "closed town." A joint charter was submitted on 7 January 2010, which was approved on 1 May and went into effect 2 July. From one point of view, this stands to triple the size of the settlement called "Nizhnyaya Tura."

  • Nizhnaya Tura or Nizhnyaya Tura (Russ. Нижняя Тура, Finn. Alatura, Hung. Alacsony Tura) is a Uralican city located in Southeast Uralica, just off the western side of Highway UH-6. After a referendum on 6 January 2010, it was decided that the city would merge with Lesnoy but keep the name Nizhnaya Tura - the Lesnoy citizens wanted to shed the legacy of secrecy that came with being a former "closed town." A joint charter was submitted on 7 January 2010, which was approved on 1 May and went into effect 2 July. From one point of view, this stands to triple the size of the settlement called "Nizhnyaya Tura." The settlement of Nizhnyaya Tura was founded in 1754 around an ironworks, with gold and platinum being discovered in the area later in the century, and in the mid-19th century, a munitions industry developed in the city. Nowadays, besides sharing much industry with Lesnoy - the largest sectors in both cities are the mining/metallurgy and machine-building sectors - Nizhnyaya Tura has a large automotive sector, while fish-farming, food production, and pulp-and-paper production are also reasonably important. The part of the city which was formerly Lesnoy is very diverse in its industry, unlike in the closed town days where its only product was nuclear weapons. The largest sectors are in machine-building and ferrous metallurgy, although food production and manufacturing of industrial consumer-goods (largely construction equipment like nail guns and hammers) are important as well.
