São Tomé and Príncipe Districts

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in the Gulf of Guinea, on the equator and about 250 kilometres off the coast of Gabon, and it has no land border with anyone. Its map is two islands about 150 kilometres apart: São Tomé, which holds nearly the whole population, and Príncipe to the north east. This is the full list of its districts, with a quiz on where each one sits.

What you are looking at

São Tomé island is divided into six districts, and Príncipe is the seventh answer. Príncipe is an autonomous region with its own regional government, and the boundary data draws it as a single unit under the name Pagué, which is the name of its district, so the game uses that name for the whole island.

Água Grande is the small district on the north east coast that holds the capital, São Tomé, and it is by far the smallest answer on the map. Lobata and Mé-Zóchi run along the north, Cantagalo is the east coast, and Lemba and Caué fill the south and the south west, with Caué taking the southern tip of the island.

How to place one

Start with the capital. Água Grande is the small coastal district at the top right of São Tomé island.
Go clockwise from there. Cantagalo follows the east coast south, and Caué holds the whole southern end.
Come back up the west. Lemba sits on the south west and Lobata on the north, with Mé-Zóchi inland between Lobata and the capital.
Príncipe is the other island. Any tap on the small island to the north east is Pagué.

Worked examples

Água Grande

The capital

Água Grande is the small district on the north east coast of São Tomé island, and it holds the capital. It is tiny next to its neighbours, so on a phone zoom in before you tap.

Caué

The southern tip

Caué is the largest district and takes the whole southern end of São Tomé island, below Lemba on the west and Cantagalo on the east.

Pagué

The other island

Pagué is all of Príncipe, the smaller island to the north east, and it is the one answer that is not on São Tomé island.
