## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 8 km of 45.5482, 13.7296 - Koper'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 25,753 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-14).
