Despite being referred to as a "city", Līlasuṃghāṇa is an ''eparchy'', which means that it has - at least for the core wards, called districts (''hālgārai'') a consolidated government at the level of cities, circuits, provinces, and even some functions of the diocese itself. Administratively, there are, however, places in Līlasuṃghāṇa designed as cities, parishes, or even villages: the area of the eparchy is extremely large, covering also some valleys of tributaries of the Lanamilūki river to the south where the only settlements are floating villages in the middle of [[w:Igapó|igapós]]. About 45% of the land area of the eparchy is covered by rainforest or swampland. | Despite being referred to as a "city", Līlasuṃghāṇa is an ''eparchy'', which means that it has - at least for the core wards, called districts (''hālgārai'') a consolidated government at the level of cities, circuits, provinces, and even some functions of the diocese itself.
