ohuttakin

Ohuttakin is a small municipality located in the central part of the fictional country of Ustal. The settlement lies roughly 125 kilometers northeast of the capital city, Nabor, and is surrounded by gently rolling hills and mixed coniferous forests. The area has a temperate maritime climate, with average winter temperatures hovering near the freezing point and warm summers that support a diverse range of local flora and fauna.

The name Ohuttakin is believed to derive from an ancient Finnic term meaning “river bend” due to the nearby Ohuttakkojoki, a minor tributary of the larger Kylin river that flows through the heart of the community. Historically, the municipality was established in the early 18th century as a small farming and forestry outpost, and it gradually grew into a modest center for timber processing and regional trade.

According to the latest census in 2023, Ohuttakin has a population of about 1,200 residents. The demographic composition is predominantly ethnic Ustalian, with a small percentage of Baltic allophones and a growing number of expatriates from neighboring countries attracted by the region’s artisanal and eco-tourism opportunities. The local economy is primarily based on sustainable forestry, dairy production, and the cultivation of wild berries that are exported to the capital’s markets.

The municipality is governed by a communal council elected every four years, operating under the legislative framework of the Ustalian national administration. Public services include a primary school, a community health clinic, and a volunteer fire department. The community also hosts an annual midsummer festival celebrating traditional music, dance, and local culinary specialties such as Ohuttakin rye bread and smoked trout.
