Same, the capital of Timor-Leste's Ainaro District, is located about 50 kilometers south of the capital, Dili, in the mountainous interior and is an important agricultural and transportation hub for the country.

Nimule is the capital of Eastern Equatoria State in South Sudan, located in the south-eastern part of the country, next to the Ugandan border, within the East African Rift Valley and close to Nimule National Park. The city is geographically and ecologically important due to its location in the Baro River basin near the headwaters of the White Nile. As the administrative center of Eastern Equatoria State, Nimule is a regional trade hub, and the cross-country highway linking South Sudan and Uganda passes through the city. The surrounding area is dominated by savannah ecosystems, and the park is home to wildlife such as elephants, giraffes and zebras, making it a key area for ecotourism and wildlife conservation. Although the infrastructure is still being developed, its unique location and natural resources make it an important town in south-eastern South Sudan.
