Under the 24 regions of Madagascar sit 120 districts, from the six
arrondissements of Antananarivo that fit in a few square kilometres each to
Ihosy, in the south, which is larger than Northern Ireland.
This is the full list, grouped by the region each one belongs to.
The districts (distrika) of Madagascar, the second tier of the country. Most
take the name of their chief town, which is also how people name them, so
Moramanga, Ambositra and Morondava are a district and a town at once.
Some towns are split into more than one district. Antsirabe, Antsiranana,
Mahajanga, Toamasina and Toliary each come as an I and an II, the town
itself and the countryside round it, and Antananarivo is six arrondissements
in the middle of the capital. Those six are the smallest answers on the map, and
the game gives them tap areas. They are named "Antananarivo" followed by their
number, since the file calls them only 1er Arrondissement and so on.
The map is uneven. The highlands are carved fine, with Analamanga holding
thirteen districts, and the south and the west are carved coarsely, so a few
districts there cover as much ground as a small country.
The groups are the regions, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Each
region answers under the same name in Madagascar Regions.
