The 20 districts and autonomous regions of Portugal
Portugal has 20 districts and autonomous regions. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The Portuguese name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the Portuguese name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the districts and autonomous regions

The districts date from 1835.
