Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe, so the twelve cantons are slices of something you could cross in under an hour. They are the tier above the communes, and they are the right first step before the hundred communes inside them.
The twelve cantons, each named for its main town. Clervaux in the far north is the largest and Vianden, a small canton on the German border around a single castle town, is the smallest. Esch-sur-Alzette in the south-west holds the most communes of any canton.
The English names are the French ones and the local name is a switch in the start dialog, so Luxembourg is Lëtzebuerg and Esch-sur-Alzette is Esch-Uelzecht. The cantons are the communes of Luxembourg Communes dissolved, so the borders of the two maps match exactly.
The groups are the four electoral constituencies, the way the country sorts its cantons since the three districts were abolished in 2015.
Luxembourg canton holds the capital and the communes around it, in the middle of the country. It is the easiest canton to place first, and the one the rest are described against.
Vianden is a thin canton on the German border, made of three communes and named for the castle town on the Our. It is small enough to hide between Diekirch and Clervaux.
Clervaux covers the far north, the Ösling, the part of the country that is Ardennes rather than farmland. It is the largest canton by area, and it is where the country's northern tip, Troisvierges, is.
Twelve, and they have stayed the same twelve even though the communes inside them have been merged many times.
Clervaux in the north is the largest by area, and Luxembourg canton around the capital is the largest by population.
Luxembourg had three districts above the cantons, Diekirch, Grevenmacher and Luxembourg, until they were abolished in 2015. The four electoral constituencies are what the groups in this quiz use instead.
The tier below this one is Luxembourg Communes, whose cantons are the groups there. For another small country at this level, see Montenegro Municipalities.
