The City of Gorainz

The earliest historical references to Gorainz date to the 12th century (1167), when it was noted as a provincial city within the  fiefdom of Helensburg.The settlement developed on the rivers. In 1162, Gorainz became part of the  Grand Duchy of Krenya and received  town privileges in 1499.

Pollution in Gorainz

During 2004–2012 the overall weight of contaminants increased from 186,000 to 247,400 tons. The change from gas as industrial fuel to mazut for financial reasons has worsened the ecological situation. However, the majority of overall air pollution is produced by cars.  Royal Krenyan traffic police RKTP every year hold operation "Clean Air" to prevent the use of cars with extremely polluting engines.  Sometimes the maximum normative concentration of  formaldehyde  and  ammonia  in air is exceeded in  Devaril town.  Other major contaminants are  Chromium-VI and  nitrogen dioxide. And cause pollution in the Sevein towns which are located in the southeastern part of gorainz are the most polluted areas in the city.

Climate of Krenya

Gorainz has a warm summer humid continental climate  though unpredictable many a times, owing to its location between the strong influence of the moist air of the Laventine sea and the dry air of the Thuadian landmass. Its weather is unstable and tends to change relatively often. The average January temperature is −1.5 °C , while the average July temperature is 20.5 °C . The lowest temperature was recorded on 17 January 1967, at −7 °C and the warmest on 8 August 2015 at 38.8 °C. Fog is frequent, especially in the autumn and spring. Gorainz receives annual precipitation of 690 millimetres (27 in), of which one third falls during the cold period (as snow and rain) and two-thirds in the warm period. Throughout the year, most winds are westerly and northwesterly, bringing cool and moist air from the laventine sea.

Economy of Gorainz

Gorainz is the one of the economic centres  of Krenya. It has developed industrial and services sectors which serve the needs not only of the city, but of the entire nation. Gorainz's contributions form nearly 7% of Krenyan budget.According to 2019 results, Gorainz paid 17bn KNN to state budget while the whole income from all other regions was 213bn KNN. In the period January 2013 to October 2013, 70.6% of taxes in the budget of Gorainz were paid by non-state enterprises, 26.3% by state enterprises, and 1.8% by individual entrepreneurs.

Industries of Krenya

Today the city has over 250 factories and plants. Its industrial development started in the 1860s and was facilitated by the railways built in the 1870s. The development of the city was linked to the development of industry, especially of R&D-intensive sectors (heavy emphasis of R&D intensive industries in  urban development  in the Grand Duchy of krenya is known in Northern geography as 'Gorainz phenomenon').Gorainz was turned into a major production site for trucks, tractors, gears, optical equipment, refrigerators, television sets and radios, bicycles, motorcycles, watches, and metal-processing equipment. Outside machine-building and electronics, Gorainz also had textiles, construction materials, food processing which led to a serious economic meltdown in 2001–2004.

However, since the adoption of the liberal policies under  Hoverin kren's government in 2005, much of the gross industrial production was gained. About 40% of the work force is still employed in the  manufacturing sector.

Gorainz Tractor Plant – specialised in manufacturing tractors. Established in 1976 in eastern gorainz, is among major manufacturers of wheeled tractors. Employs about 30,000 staff.
