The district (nohiya) is the second tier of Tajikistan, between the five regions and the village councils below them. The quiz draws the whole country in districts, from the vast empty districts of the Pamirs to the small farming districts of the Fergana Valley and the Vakhsh valley, and the capital Dushanbe as a unit of its own.
The districts of Tajikistan, as the boundary file draws them. Tajikistan also gives some towns the rank of a city of regional subordination, but the file does not draw them apart from the district round them, so Khujand, Kulob and the others are answered by the district that holds them. Dushanbe is the one exception: the file has no district for the capital, only a hole in the polygon of Rudaki, so the quiz cuts the city out of Rudaki and draws it as a district of its own.
The Districts of Republican Subordination are a region that answers to the capital, and their districts lie in two separate pieces, one east of Dushanbe and one in the centre of the country. Learn them as a group, and then each piece on its own.
The districts are very uneven. Murghob, in the far east of Gorno-Badakhshan, is the largest in the quiz by a long way, a high desert plateau on the Chinese border. In the Fergana Valley and the south west the opposite holds: districts are packed so tightly that the smallest have a tap area wider than their outline, and zooming in is the way to reach them.
Spellings follow the boundary file, which uses the Tajik forms transliterated into Latin letters (Hisor for Gissar, Roghun for Rogun), with the two stray apostrophes of Roshtqala and Vose dropped.
Murghob is the largest district in the quiz, a high plateau in the east of Gorno-Badakhshan on the borders of China and Kyrgyzstan. The town of Murghob lies on the Pamir Highway, one of the highest roads in the world.
Dushanbe is a small patch in the middle of the country. Rudaki District surrounds it on every side, so the two are easy to confuse: the capital is the small one in the middle, and Rudaki is the ring around it.
Jabbor Rasulov is a small district in Sughd, in the Fergana Valley, with the town of Proletar at its centre. It is small enough to need a tap area, so zoom in on the north of the valley to reach it.
The country has about 58 districts, and it also has some cities of regional subordination. The quiz has the 58 that the boundary file draws, plus Dushanbe.
The capital is a first-level unit in its own right, but the boundary file leaves it out of its districts, so the quiz cuts it out of Rudaki and draws it as one.
The quiz groups them by region, so you can drill one region at a time. Each region is its own quiz as well.
The tier above this one is Tajikistan Regions. For another country at this level, see Kyrgyzstan Districts.
