The district (raion) is the second tier of Kyrgyzstan, below the seven regions, and the unit a place is usually given in: a town, then its district, then its region. There are 40 of them, joined on this map by the 13 towns that are run apart from the district around them, and by the capital and Osh, which have no districts of their own.
The 55 areas the country is made of below its regions. Forty are the rural districts, usually named for their chief town. Thirteen are towns of regional significance, such as Karakol, Naryn and Talas, which are drawn as areas of their own inside a district and carry "(city)" in their name so they are not confused with it. Bishkek and Osh city are the last two, and sit with the region around them for grouping.
Many names exist twice: Naryn is a region, a district and a town, and Talas, Batken, Issyk-Kul and Chui are each a region and a district too. The quiz always means the district, and its group tells you which region it is in.
The towns are the hard part. Several are no wider than a few kilometres, so the game gives them tap areas, and zooming in is the way to reach the ones packed together in the south west. Lake Issyk-Kul and Chatyr-Kol are gaps in the map, since the boundaries stop at the shore.
The start dialog can switch every name to the Kyrgyz written in Cyrillic, which is how a road sign in the country writes it.
The groups are the regions, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Each region answers under the same name in Kyrgyzstan Regions.
Jeti-Oguz is one of the largest districts, on the south shore of Lake Issyk-Kul and running up into the mountains behind it, with the Seven Bulls rock formation for its name.
Kara-Kul is a hydropower town on the Naryn river, in Jalal-Abad Region, and the smallest area on the map by a wide margin. It is tiny enough that it needs a tap area to be answerable at all.
Moscow is a district of Chui Region, on the Kazakh border just west of Bishkek. It is one of the strips that runs north from the capital to the border.
55 on this map: 40 rural districts, 13 towns of regional significance, and Bishkek and Osh.
They are cities with no districts beneath them, so each is one area on the map. They are grouped with the region that surrounds them, Chui and Osh.
The quiz groups them by region, so you can drill one region at a time. Each region is its own quiz as well.
The tier above this one is Kyrgyzstan Regions. For another country at this level, see Kazakhstan Districts.
