| - Syktyvkar (Rus. Сыктывкар, Fin. Sikkivukari) is the capital and sixth-largest city of Uralica. Formerly the centre of Komi culture, it has come to be a centre of all things Uralic, with the Uralican Tribal Council Chambers and the 16 Tribal Board Offices all located here, as well as the Uralic Cultural Centre, the Uralican World Trade Centre (Uralica's tallest building), the Syktyvkar Grand Mall, and the Filharmonia. The combination of cultural diversity and abundant musical venues made one Planet Bob tourism magazine rank Syktyvkar the tenth-biggest "must-see" of any city on Planet Bob. Starting in the summer of 2009, Syktyvkar has experienced a sizable boom in population growth, leapfrogging it over several previously larger Uralican cities. The unitary authority that comprises everything within Syktyvkar city limits is not the entire urban area of Syktyvkar (which is the fifth-largest in Uralica), however it is considered a seperate entity from nearby Pazhga. Economy-wise, Syktyvkar was once a rather one-dimensional city that relied solely on wood-based production such as lumber and pulp and paper. The latter was devastated during Cataclysm when the mills were burnt down, however with the formation of Uralica, a mill began construction in the Ezhva district, and was completed in May 2008. Textile-making has been a minor sector in the city for decades. However, since Uralica's formation, the most important industry is small consumer-goods manufacturing. There are also large hi-tech, mining and metallurgy, and retail sectors. The last of these is bolstered by the tourism industry and the fact that it has the largest singular department store in the entire Ural-Volga region. This is the branch of Kupriyanov's that takes up the bottom four floors of the Kuik Tower, the tallest building in Uralica. Highway UH-1, Uralica's first numbered highway, was constructed between April and June of 2008, extending from Kirov, through Syktyvkar, to Sosnogorsk. The highway is now far longer, making it a vital route of transportation for the city. Highway UH-9 also starts in Syktyvkar and runs directly east, through the heartland of the old Komi Republic.
