| - Ägerce (form. Agryz, Finn. Äkersee, Russ./Bshk. Агэрже, Chuv. Agėrśe) is a Uralican city, located in an area of Udmurtiya South that was once a part of Tatarstan, but was ceded to Uralica on 13 January 2010. It sits just south of Highway UH-4A, with connector road UH-4C meeting the highway at nearby town Malaya Purga. First mentioned in 1646, Ägerce was built up starting in the early 20th century, around a railway station on the line between Kazan' and Yekaterinburg. Only three years after this station's opening in 1915, it got caught up in the Russian Revolution's Udmurt front (then called the Izhevsk-Votkinsk Front) and would eventually become part of the Soviet Union. The production of railway materials and equipment, and food production, were Ägerce's two main industries throughout the Soviet and Old Russian eras, but nowadays, there is also heavy presence from the machine-building and metallurgy sectors. The name was changed from Agryz to the Tatar name of Ägerce in early 2010 after its annexation.
