High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug or Yamalia, is a federal subject of Russia (an autonomous okrug of Tyumen Oblast). The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is the largest administrative division of Tyumen with an area 750,300 km2 (289,692 sq mi). It is also the most sparsely populated with only 507,006 (2002 Census) inhabitants. The administrative center of the autonomous okrug is Salekhard, and the two largest towns by population are Noyabrsk (pop. 96,440) and Novy Urengoy (pop. 94,456). As oil workers from across Russia far outnumber indigenous people in the region it should come as no surprise that the Nenets only make up 5.2% of the population, preceded by ethnic Russians (58.8%), Ukrainians (13%), and Tatars (5.4%). Other prominent ethnic groups include Belarusians (1.8%), Khants (1.7%), Azerbaijanis (1.65%), Bashkirs (1.56%), Komi (1.22%), and Moldovans (1.06%). (All figures are from the 2002 census).
