MunggiMunicipalities and cantons with documented legal situation
637 of 2,120 municipalities · all 26 cantons · as of 05/10/2026

The other municipalities are not missing by accident: nothing has been researched for them yet, and the map says so openly instead of guessing a colour. No entry never means “allowed”.
