User:David Kernow/Contemporary national administrative divisions by country

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

< User:David Kernow

The table below indicates the various local names and, where known, numbers of contemporary national administrative divisions used by countries and their major dependent territories. It is ordered alphabetically by country name in English.

[edit] Notes

Numbers of divisions 

To simplify maintaining the table, numbers of divisions are only specified where a country has around thirty or fewer instances; for example, as of 2006, the twelve qarku (counties) of Albania. For numbers greater than thirty, the number rounded down to the nearest ten (or, in the case of thousands, the nearest hundred) is given, suffixed by a plus sign "+"; for example, the "300+" komuna (communes) of Albania. More precise figures should be found in the articles linked by the table.

Terms in italics 

Terms in italics are terms in languages other than English. They should be in plural form, followed by a footnote or footnotes indicating the generally-accepted English equivalent or translation. Known alternative spellings are given in brackets following a term.

Terms in brackets 

Entries in standard brackets either indicate that the term used is informal or that its use is yet to be confirmed. An English term in square brackets indicates that the local name for the term is not yet known or confirmed; when confirmed, it is replaced by the local name in italics.

Footnote letters ( ^{c d m p r} ) 

These indicate five common national administrative terms in English: capital, districts, municipalities, provinces and regions, respectively. Other English terms appear among the numbered footnotes.

British overseas territories and crown dependencies 

Where these have administrative divisions, they are listed as if separate countries.
