## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 8 km of 55.9333, 23.3167 - Šiauliai's centre as recorded by GeoNames. That radius scales with population and is NOT the administrative city boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears. Population 99,462 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-14).
