Administrative divisions

Soná District is divided administratively into the following corregimientos:

gollark: We should ban the law so it stops causing those annoying problems.
gollark: What a weird emergency that must have been.
gollark: I should probably apply that on my stuff.
gollark: Since they apparently are using 120GB SSDs, which are really cheap, if there's nothing blocking that, I think RAID1ing some would make sense.
gollark: It could probably be worked in during restarts.
