Sancı Kristufari

Sancı Kristufari (Ulakisonian: Санөъ Кристуфари [saɴˈθə kʰristʰʊfaːri]; lit. Saint Christopher) is the third most populous city in Ulakisonia, home to 2,145,076 people as of 2023. It serves as the capital of the Kristufari Province, located in the southwestern part of the country. Sancı Kristufari serves as the financial and cultural hub of southern Ulakisonia, as well as one of the country's most religiously important cities, being home to Church of Lord Jesus, son of Mary, the largest Russian Orthodox church in Ulakisonia.

Sancı Kristufari was established by descendants of Russian immigrants in Ulakisonia in 1910 as Sankt Khristofor. This was done in accordance to the relocation of locals, as well as immigrants, by British colonialists to other parts of the island which were primarily uninhabited. The city was originally Russian-speaking, but the language fell out of common use during the 1920s and 1930s when ethnic Ulakisonians began moving to the city. Much of the Russians were badly treated, resulting in riots in 1926 and 1934. It was one of the several cities razed during the Ulakisonian civil war in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. The Democratic Republic of Ulakisonia was declared in the city in 1964 by Bilich Mik Talbairat. It eventually served as its official capital in 1967 and remained so until 1969.

Sancı Kristufari eventually rebuilt itself as one of the most advanced cities in Ulakisonia after 1990, when the current Republic of Ulakisonia was established. At the time, the city was one of the poorest in the country, being hit hard by wars and authoritarianism. Today, it is a major financial and cultural center in the southern half of the country, sitting along its western coast. The Yarshadrar Beach is located here, which is a major tourist destination. Several important business hubs exist in Sancı Kristufari, the largest being Muraminat.
