Perm Krai, Administrative region in western Urals, Russia

The territory extends across the middle Kama River basin and encompasses 29,000 rivers flowing through dense forests of spruce, fir, pine, and birch trees.

The region formed in December 2005 through the merger of Perm Oblast and Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug, following a referendum held in 2004.

The population of 2.5 million includes Russians, Tatars, and Komi-Permyaks, with Russian Orthodox Christianity as the main religious presence in the territory.

The region contains substantial deposits of oil, natural gas, gold, diamonds, and other minerals, with over 180 oil and gas fields currently in operation.

Mount Tulymsky Kamen reaches 1,496 meters, marking the highest point where the territory sits 99.8% in Europe and 0.2% in Asia.
