All these are present in a single continuous chain. It is considered to be a protective collectivity according to the French law. That is why it enjoys self-sufficiency to a greater extent in comparison to other districts in the country. As far as the economy of the district is concerned, it is greatly dependent upon tourism industry. It is well-known among tourists for mountains, seashores and favourable climatic conditions. The capital as well as largest city of the district is Ajaccio.
