A Slovene region narrows a round down to a river valley or a stretch of the Karst, and the municipality is the tier that names a place. There are over two hundred of them in a country the size of New Jersey, so many are only a few villages wide, and the municipality is what a road sign, a number plate and a postal address point to.
The občine, Slovenia's only local tier. Eleven of them are urban municipalities (mestne občine), the larger towns such as Ljubljana, Maribor and Celje, and the rest are ordinary municipalities, from Kočevje, the largest by area, in the south, to a few villages wide in the east. Many small ones were created in the 1990s when the old, larger communes were split, and one more, Ankaran, left Koper in 2011.
On the coast and along the Hungarian border the names are bilingual, Koper and Capodistria or Lendava and Lendva. The map labels each with the Slovene name.
The smallest municipalities are too small to tap at the scale of the whole country. The smallest of each cluster has its tap area widened beyond its shape, and zooming in does the rest.
The groups are the twelve statistical regions, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Each region answers under the same name in Slovenia Regions.
Kočevje is the largest municipality in Slovenia, in the south of the country, and most of it is forest. Nothing else on the map is that big, which makes it an easy one to find.
Ankaran is a small peninsula next to the Italian border that was part of Koper until it became its own municipality in 2011. It is one of the smallest shapes on the map and the one that most needs a tap area.
Ljubljana is the capital and the largest city, and it sits in the middle of Central Slovenia, surrounded by smaller municipalities such as Domžale, Medvode and Škofljica. Finding it first gives you a reference for the rest of the map.
212, of which eleven are urban municipalities. The number has been stable since Ankaran and a few others were created in 2011.
A town with extra powers, such as Ljubljana, Maribor or Celje. On the map it is an ordinary municipality and answers under its own name.
Slovenia split its 62 communes into over two hundred municipalities in the 1990s, and small ones kept being created into the 2010s.
The tier above this one is Slovenia Regions. For another country at this level, see Austria Districts.
