Northwest Territory (1983: Doomsday)

The Northwest Territory (Russ:Северо-западная Территория), is a territory established in the northwest part of the former Soviet Union, covering large parts of Karelia, Komi and Arkhangelsk.

History
The territory came into existence after the Siberian operation Northern Hammer came to a close on July 27th, 2011. The territory was formally created the following day, with Belomorsk, the capital of the now defunct Provisional Soviet Socalist Republic of Russia being turned into the territories capital.

Over the past months, Siberian authorities have started to mainly repair destroyed roads and the parts of the Northern Railway located in Arkhangelsk and Komi. The town of Onega, having survived the war, is also being converted into a northern base of operations for the USSR's navy.

Economy
For now, most of the economy consists of fishing, but the region is rich in natural resources: Lumber, oil, bauxite, titanium, gold, manganese, and basalt. Combined with the regions former forestry, woodworking, cellulose, and paper industries, there is hope of it becoming an important part of the USSR in the future, especially when the damaged parts of the railway lines become operational again.
