Lithuania is divided into ten counties, and below them into 60 municipalities, or savivaldybės: the tier that actually governs, running schools, local roads, planning and social care. Every Lithuanian address sits in exactly one, and it is the name on the sign at the edge of town. This page is the whole list, grouped by county the way the game groups it.
Most municipalities are named after their main town and come in two kinds that share the name: a city municipality and a district municipality (rajono savivaldybė) around it. Alytus, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Panevėžys, Šiauliai and Vilnius each exist twice on this map, a city and the district that surrounds it, and the game labels them "City" and "District" so the two can be told apart. Several smaller municipalities, such as Neringa, Palanga, Birštonas, Druskininkai and Visaginas, have no district around them and are named by the town alone.
The names are written with Lithuanian letters, and the game asks for them that way: Šiauliai, Kėdainiai, Mažeikiai, Šilutė, Varėna.
Scale varies a great deal. The district municipalities are large and rural, while the city municipalities of Alytus and Panevėžys are a few dozen square kilometres, barely more than their built-up area. Neringa is the strip of the Curonian Spit that Lithuania holds, a long thin municipality along the Baltic.
Vilnius District: the municipality that wraps round the city of Vilnius on almost every side. Anything that looks like the capital's hinterland is this one, and the small shape in the middle of it is Vilnius City.
Neringa: a long, narrow municipality along the Curonian Spit, with its settlements on the lagoon side and dunes along the sea. It is the only one that is mostly sand.
Visaginas: a small municipality in the north east, planned as a town for the workers of the Ignalina nuclear power plant. It sits in Utena County, wedged against the borders with Latvia and Belarus.
60. They are grouped into ten counties, and the number has been stable since the early 2000s.
A city municipality covers a city and its immediate surroundings, while a district municipality (rajono savivaldybė) covers the rural area around a town. Some towns, such as Alytus, Kaunas and Vilnius, have one of each.
Neringa on the Curonian Spit, Klaipėda City, Palanga, and the Klaipėda and Kretinga districts around them. Šilutė lies on the lagoon behind the coast.
Because the county reaches up the eastern border from the capital to the north east. Švenčionys is far from Vilnius on the map, but it is part of the same county.
The cities and the districts that share their name: Alytus, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Panevėžys, Šiauliai and Vilnius. Alytus City and Panevėžys City are especially small.
The tier above this one is Lithuania Counties. The other European administrative maps here are Slovenia Municipalities, Denmark Municipalities and Finland Municipalities.
