| - Kuálõk (form. Kola, Russ. Кола, Finn. Kuola, NSaam. Guoládat, Est. Kuolõk) is a small Uralican city in Sapmi county, that is part of a much larger conurbation, which also contains the town of Murmashi to the southwest and the cities of Murmansk and Severomorsk to the north. While the official IPA pronunciation of the name is /ˈkuɐˌlˠɤk/, English-speakers from outside of Uralica are often told the "simplified" pronunciation, which is /ˈkʍɑlˠɨk/. Given how it sits at the beginning of the Tuloma Estuary, it is an important civilian port. Its proximity to two major highways (UH-7 and UH-41) means it has a large transportation production sector, with a particular emphasis on weather-resistant road-building material. It is also a very culturally rich city, and as such tourism and the resulting souvenir sales generate a large amount of money for the economy. Finally, there are smaller textile and sporting goods sectors.
