History

The arrondissement of Digne-les-Bains was created in 1800.[3] At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, it lost nine communes to the arrondissement of Castellane and 16 communes to the arrondissement of Forcalquier, and it gained six communes from the arrondissement of Forcalquier.[4]

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of Digne-les-Bains were, as of January 2015:[5]

  1. Barrême
  2. Digne-les-Bains-Est
  3. Digne-les-Bains-Ouest
  4. La Javie
  5. Les Mées
  6. Mézel
  7. Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
  8. Riez
  9. Seyne
  10. Valensole

gollark: A generally intelligent AI:- could make itself more intelligent much more easily than a human- will probably have a very different set of capabilities to humans even if they "average out" to "equal intelligence" and thus might be really dangerous depending on what they are- is unlikely to share much of our human value system unless explicitly built that way
