====Kaliningrad==== This city of 500 000 people is a major transport hub, home to the headquarters of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy, and one of the largest industrial centers in Russia. Kaliningrad's major industries are manufacturing, shipping, fishing and amber products. It has status as a Special Economic Zone, meaning that manufacturers based there get tax and customs duty breaks on the goods they send to other parts of Russia. Many foreign and global corporations have plants there. Buccaneer vessels are generally not welcome in Kaliningrad. The Baltic Fleet considers them suspect and does not like them close to their base, and the corporations have a lot of influence over the port authority. However, Baltic Fleet sailors on shore leave can be very good sources of information about what is going on in the Baltic, and this is where they are most easily found. Some buccaneers dock their ships in Polish ports and take advantage of the small border traffic law – an agreement between Poland and the Russian Federation, whereby residents of Kaliningrad and some of the Polish cities may obtain special cards permitting repeated travel between the two countries, crossing the Polish–Russian border. While the cards are not easily forged, if you do manage to obtain a convincing copy, they are so common at the border checkpoints that as long as you look the part you are unlikely to come under much scrutiny.
