An Austrian state narrows a round down to a valley or a stretch of the Danube, and the district is the tier that names a place. There are 94 of them, from the single district that is Vienna to the twenty-odd that make up Lower Austria, and the district is what a car's number plate starts with.
The Bezirke: 79 political districts and 15 statutory cities, which are districts in their own right. A city and the district around it share a name, so they come in pairs: Graz and Graz-Umgebung, Linz and Linz-Land, Villach and Villach-Land. The city is the small shape beside or inside the larger one, and each answers under its own name. Vienna is the biggest of the cities and a district of one, and Rust, on the Neusiedler See, is the smallest.
Many of the cities are too small to tap comfortably at the scale of the whole country. The smallest of each cluster has its tap area widened beyond its shape, which is why Krems, St. Pölten and Eisenstadt are reachable; zoom in for the rest.
The groups are the states, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Lower Austria has the most districts, 24, counting its four cities, and Vienna the fewest. Each state answers under the same name in Austria States.
The 2013 reform in Styria merged the old districts into fewer, larger ones, so Murtal, Bruck-Mürzzuschlag, Hartberg-Fürstenfeld and Südoststeiermark are on the map and Judenburg, Knittelfeld, Mürzzuschlag and Radkersburg are not.
Rust is a town of about two thousand people on the western shore of the Neusiedler See, and a statutory city, which makes it a district. It is the smallest answer on the map and the one that most needs a tap area.
Liezen is the largest district in Austria, in the north of Styria, and it holds the Dachstein and much of the Enns valley. It is larger than Vorarlberg.
Lienz is East Tyrol, and the district is all of it. It is cut off from the rest of Tyrol, so the districts around it belong to Salzburg and Carinthia, and the border to the south is Italy's.
94: 79 political districts and 15 statutory cities. Vienna counts as a single district.
A city with the powers of a district. It is its own answer on the map, separate from the district around it, which is why Graz and Graz-Umgebung are two.
The 2013 reform merged the old districts of Styria into fewer, and the new ones were given new names where the old ones no longer applied.
The tier above this one is Austria States. For another country at this level, see Germany Districts.
