Yamalia is a Uralican county, based off the old Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (whose flag it uses), and officially established on 15 November 2009. While its county seat is Salyakharad, its largest settlement is Khanto, formerly known as Noyabrsk. Although the oil trade in the area has shrunk significantly from when the settlements in this area were founded, mining of minerals has more than made up for it.
