Lesotho is a mountain kingdom completely surrounded by South Africa, and the only country in the world whose lowest point is above 1,000 metres. Its ten districts cover the country without a gap, and nearly all of the people live in the lowlands along the western border, which is where the smaller districts and the capital, Maseru, are packed.
The ten districts of today, named the way Lesotho writes them. The lowland districts of Maseru, Berea, Leribe and Mafeteng run in a line down the western edge beside the Free State, while the high districts of Mokhotlong and Thaba-Tseka fill the Maloti mountains in the east, and are the largest on the map.
The groups are not an official classification. They are the north, the centre and the south, a way to learn the map a piece at a time.
Maseru sits on the western border, with Berea to its north and Mafeteng to its south, and holds the capital and the largest share of the population.
Thaba-Tseka is the largest district, a block of high country in the middle of the country that reaches from the Maloti towards the Drakensberg border.
Qacha's Nek fills the south eastern corner, between Thaba-Tseka above it and Quthing to its west.
Ten, and all of them cover land: the game has no territory outside them.
Not in a way this game relies on. The groups here are the north, the centre and the south, and they will not match every list you find.
Some sources write Mohale's Hoek as Mohales Hoek and Qacha's Nek as Qachas Nek. The game keeps the apostrophe.
