List of districts of Germany
Germany is divided into 401 administrative districts; these consist of 294 rural districts[1] (German: Kreise [in North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein] and Landkreise), and 107 urban districts (Kreisfreie Städte or, in Baden-Württemberg only, Stadtkreise – cities that constitute districts in their own right).[2][3]
Historical

gollark: It's apparently big enough that you would need something like 20 high-end compute GPUs, so... quite a lot of raspberry pis.
gollark: The trouble with this is that scaling it up like this requires ridiculous amounts of computing resources, and now it's so big that individuals probably can't even tractably run it.
gollark: It can add somewhat larger numbers!
