[edit] "Khantia-Mansia" is an artificial term.

It does not exist anywhere outside en.wikipedia.org.

In Khanty-Mansiysk or Surgut, the region is generally referred to as either the "Khanty-Mansi autonomout district" or as "Yugra".

It's nice that Wikipedia is innovative. However, inventing new toponymics, suggesting that they are meaningful in real life while they are not, betrays the purpose of an encyclopedia.

Same with Nenetsia, btw.

The name of the region on these maps is Khantia-Mansia. Yes, and Nenetsia too. User:PANONIAN
