Notes: (a) Palu'e is an island district, situated off the north coast of Flores.
(b) includes the offshore islands of Pulau Pemana Besar and Pulau Pemana Kecil (with a combined population of 4,917 in mid 2023) and, further north, Pulau Sukun or Samparong (with a population of 1,020 in mid 2023).
(c) comprises 4 kelurahan (Kabor, Kota Uneng, Madawat and Nangalimang) and 3 desa.
(d) comprising four kelurahan (Hewuli, Wailiti, Wolomarang and Wuring).
(e) includes the offshore islands of Pulau Koja or Pulau Besar (with 3,038 inhabitants in mid 2023), Pulau Parumaan (with 1,900 inhabitants in mid 2023 - including Pulau Pangabatan, Pulau Mermaan and Pulau Dambila) - and (further northeast) Pulau Babi.
(f) comprising five kelurahan (Beru, Kota Baru, Nangameting, Waioti and Wairotang) and five desa (including three on the offshore islands).

A small Sikka region (non administrative) called Iwangeté or Iwang Geté encompasses the villages of Watublapi (Hewokloang district), Héwokloang, Kloangpopot (Doreng district), Hale (Mapitara district), and Hebingare (and quite a few others in between). Krowe is another name for this area, although neither names are quite accurate. People of this area produce a very distinctive ikat cloth: the widest bands (called ina geté) bear such motifs as lizard (teké), a circular motif seen on some antique plates (pigan uben), spinning wheel (jata selér) and pineapple flower (petan puhun).

Politics

Paulus Moa was Regent of Sikka for a few years between 2002 and 2006.
