## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 12 km of 46.0511, 14.5051 - Ljubljana'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 272,220 (GeoNames record updated 2019-09-05).
