| - Karhumägi (form. Medvezhegorsk, Russ. Медвежьегорск, Finn. Karhumäki) is a Uralican city situated in south-central Karelia county, on the northern tip of Lake Onega, Europe's second-largest lake. A key junction sits just within city limits, with eastward-bound Highway UH-7 running north (and therefore not into the actual city core), a set of major rural roads running south, (of which one is a truck route to Kondupohju) and Highway UH-18 running through the city itself and travelling through several small cities and large towns. It is around an hour and a half's drive north of Petroskoi.

A key junction sits just within city limits, with eastward-bound Highway UH-7 running north (and therefore not into the actual city core), a set of major rural roads running south, (of which one is a truck route to Kondupohju) and Highway UH-18 running through the city itself and travelling through several small cities and large towns. It is around an hour and a half's drive north of Petroskoi. This junction location makes the city very important in the road-building industry, with both the equipment and the materials used to build roads being built in the city. But the city has also been a multi-industry city for some time. Metallurgy, other machine-building, food production, and railway production and repair were already staples in the city, and the annexation simply added more to that in the form of consumer-goods manufacturing, medical supplies manufacturing, chemical manipulation, distillation, and hi-tech manufacturing. Also, Karhumägi is an important retail stop, having the second-largest retail sector between Petroskoi and Murmansk, after Montsa.
