The hardest tier: places small enough that even many locals would need a map. This is where the best players separate themselves from everyone else.

In Brazil this set is spread across 27 different states, with Minas Gerais home to the most of them (623).

How this category is defined

Place kinds on GuessTheDot are a practical grouping by population and place type for gameplay, not a legal or historical designation. A place can hold official city rights (or an old city charter) and still show up here as a village if it stayed small, and the other way around: this is a rough size ladder for guessing, not a statement about a place's official status.

Tips for this category

Population under a few thousand almost always means rural: rule out anywhere near a major city first.
When in doubt, guess toward the edges and coastlines: small villages are disproportionately common away from the big urban centers.
