| - Gubakha (Finn. Kupaha, Russ. Губаха) is a city in Uralica located just south-east of Berezniki, within Permski Rayon. It sits on the Kosva River, which is a minor tributary of the Kama. Originally the city was known for iron ore, but this apparently had disappeared, so it began to decline up to around the time of Cataclysm. After Cataclysm, though, iron was rediscovered quite by accident, sandwiched beneath/behind odd deposits of red marble. When Uralica exported marble, this was a major source of the red variety, until it ran out some time in Fall 2008.

Originally the city was known for iron ore, but this apparently had disappeared, so it began to decline up to around the time of Cataclysm. After Cataclysm, though, iron was rediscovered quite by accident, sandwiched beneath/behind odd deposits of red marble. When Uralica exported marble, this was a major source of the red variety, until it ran out some time in Fall 2008. Nowadays the city is heavily involved in iron-mining and metallurgy, with other manufacturing, particularly that of metallic construction material, also being large. Its commercial sector is a bit small for a city its size, but was recently brought up to Uralican city standard with the construction of a shopping mall in the district of Novaya Gubakha, and the moving of a few new financial firms into the downtown area. Gubakha is the only settlement in Uralica to have been refused city status twice. This is mainly due to the relative lack of adequate roading within the town. However, on Gubakha's third application for city status, it was finally accepted. It became a city on 1 May 2010.
