| - The North Continent of Barrayar was divided into 60 districts, each ruled by a different District Count. There is not enough information to work out the arrangement in detail, but the following is known:
* Vorpatril's District was along the northeastern coast; there were mountains.
* Vorbarra's District probably reached the east coast, but this is not certain. A river flowed east through the district, and the top of navigation for that river was in Vorbarr Sultana. At least one other district was 3 hops away from Vorbarra's District. There were three adjacent Districts.
* Vorkosigan's District was south of Vorbarra's, and landlocked. It was considered a southern (hot) district.
* Vorrutyer's District was probably along the west coast.
* Vorinnis's District was adjacent to Vorbarra's, probably to the south and possibly also west of it. Vorzohn's Dystrophy originated in this District.
* Vordarian's District was two hours away from Vorbarr Sultana by express monorail; at least one district lay to the north of it.
* Vortaine's District was adjacent to Vorvolynkin's District, with water - probably a river - between them.
* Vorfolse's District was on the south coast.
* Vorbataille's District was southern. Random information about other districts that may help someday in locating them:
* Vorbretten's District had Fort Kithera in it.
* Vorsmythe's District had an antigovernment group that tried to import proscribed weapons.
* Vormuir's District had underpopulation issues.
* Vormoncrief's District had a wine-making industry.
* Vorgarin's District was known for stroganoff.
* Vorlakial's District had Darkoi in it
* Vordrozda's District had Lorimel in it.
* An eastern coastal district had a group of people who tried to declare an independent republic at the end of Vordarian's Pretendership.
* Haroche was from a western district, with a faint provincial accent.
* Tanery Base was south of Vorkosigan's District, which was in turn south of another (Vorinnis, probably) that was south of Vorbarra's. (See Behind the scenes below.) From it, one could travel south to another District, then west to yet another, then northwest to a third one, then east to Vorinnis's District. (This was how to go around three sides of a hostile district.)
