Uychi, Uzbekistan

Capital City

14,088 people call this urban settlement home, but the bureaucratic headaches and harsh climate make Uychi a tough place to live. As the administrative center of Uychi District in Namangan Region, Uzbekistan, the town's small population means getting anything done can be a persistent challenge. The weather is also notoriously brutal, with long, bitterly cold winters that can make day-to-day life a real struggle. Uychi is best suited for the hardiest of adventurers willing to brave its administrative and environmental obstacles.
