Izhevsk (Russ. Ижевск, Finn. Issikari, Udmt. Ижкар/Izhkar) is the third-largest city in Uralica after Yekaterinburg and Perm', and an important centre of Uralic culture, being the capital of the former autonomous state of Udmurtiya. The city is its own unitary authority within Uralica, and is completely surrounded by Udmurtiya South. Located in the southern regions of Uralica, it is close to the same chernozem soils that allow Uralica to be self-sufficient in production of grains. The industry consists mostly of manufacturing (especially that of machinery), although there is also a small natural gas industry still existing in the area, and there is a fair deal of ferrous metallurgy as well.
