Minniatko, Sappa
---
Minniatko was one of the newly minted Sappan suburbs. Nearly a hundred kilometers from Sappa (the city) itself, the site that would become Minniatko had been selected due to its access to nearby Tin and Copper resources. Mines were built, and nearly overnight a settlement was formed, not only to service the mines themselves and the industry they supported, but the families of those who worked in the industry.
This was the plan to establish an economy in the impoverished region. Sappa was an odd land, in that much of its resources were relatively untouched. All the better for the Harmajaans, who would use this to establish a basic resource-based economy. Exports contracts were already being lined up and manufacturers were being given special licenses to begin construction in Harmajaa proper. That wasnt expected to become significant for several years, however, as startup businesses dont crop up overnight. The investment in Sappa was expected to come sooner and would pay dividends early, as there was demand for the resources abroad.
Difficulties persisted, particularly from a very vocal minority, but with the influx of Lapps and Harmajaans the culture in Sappa was changing.
