Kuopio - Inhabited Map

Kuopio is a map inspired by the rough lake topography of Finland, combined with the mountains of Sweden. It features three main landmasses separated by an island-filled water channel, with shorelines that boast many inlets and bays. To the northeast is a small mountainrange with steep slopes - you'll need cablecars to reach the ore veins here! Centrally and southeasterly (is that a word?), there is plenty of flat land and gentle hills to build a vast metropolis. To the north is scenic forests and a lake that would make a creat tourist spot. In the south, there is a large city split between your Republic and the West.
I wanted to make a map that encouraged the use of boats and ferries for goods/passengers, as well as cablecars. There are also some prebuilt buildings scattered around, such as train and road depots and gas stations that should make Realistic playthroughs get off the ground a little faster (especially pre-1950).

If you want to get rid of some of the prebuilt structures, press C + H + E simultaneously to enable cheat mode, or go into Game Settings and temporarily turn off Realistic Mode to bulldoze them with money.
I'll gladly make an uninhabited version if some people want it, and maybe a version with more mountains too?

Happy Republic building, Comrades!
