In July 2020 Ukraine merged its 490 raions into 136 larger ones, and that is the map of the country now: an oblast is divided into between three and ten of them, and each is named for its main city. This game draws those raions, together with Kyiv and Sevastopol, which are cities with their own status and sit at the same level on the map. This page is the whole list, grouped the way the game groups it.
A raion is the second tier of Ukrainian government, and since the reform it is a large one: the biggest cover more ground than a small European country, and the smallest are the cities. Each raion is named for its chief city, which is the answer to most of the game. A raion's name is written here as the city, Bucha or Kramatorsk, rather than the adjective form (Buchanskyi) that the boundary file carries.
Three things about the count are worth knowing before you play. Kyiv and Sevastopol are cities with the rank of an oblast and each is its own target. The Chornobyl Exclusion Zone is a unit of Kyiv Oblast in its own right. Crimea has ten raions of the 2020 list, and the game draws them and the occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson inside Ukraine, as the internationally recognised border does.
Each part can be switched on and off on its own in the start dialog, which is the way to learn them in sittings rather than all at once.
The exclusion zone around the Chornobyl power plant is a unit of Kyiv Oblast on the border with Belarus. It is the one target on the map whose name is not taken from a city.
Kyiv is a raion-sized target of its own, surrounded by the raions of Kyiv Oblast. It takes a tap area, so the small shape of the city can be clicked without hitting a neighbour.
The second tier of Ukrainian government: each oblast is divided into raions, and each is named for its chief city. They were reduced from 490 to 136 in 2020.
136 under the 2020 reform. This game asks for 139 targets: the raions as they are drawn in the boundary file, which includes the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone as a separate unit, and Kyiv and Sevastopol, which are cities at the same level.
Because the 2020 reform merged them. Many of the old raions became hromadas, the municipalities beneath the raion, and the names that remain are those of the larger city each new raion is centred on.
Yes. The game draws Ukraine's internationally recognised borders, which is the same line the rest of Mapity uses.
The crowd in the west, where Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Zakarpattia pack six or seven raions each into a small space, and the Donbas, where the raions are large and share a look.
The tier above this one is Ukraine Oblasts, and its five parts are the five groups here, so it is the place to start if this map is too much at once.
