Settlements

In addition to the namesake city, the municipality also includes the following settlements:

gollark: No.
gollark: I might have to send you to GTech™ Site 2-Alpha where we contain Jesus.
gollark: If my mind were somehow stuck into a slug or something then either:- the limited slug brain wouldn't be able to support most of it. "I" would be stuck as a slug with a vague longing for missing things "I" can't actually understand- it would work fine because ??? handwave and I'd be stuck in the constant barely-not-dying state of all wild animals for several years, probably incredibly bored and stressed at the same time, until I die of some wild animal thing.
gollark: It's not really me if I'm a slug though.
gollark: These are both bad.
