User:BalkanFever/Regional division in the Republic of Macedonia

The Republic of Macedonia is divided into 84 first-order administrative divisions, called municipalities (општини, opštini). These municipalities are grouped into eight arbitrary statistical regions (региони, regioni). From 1996 to 2004, the country was subdivided into 123 municipalities, and prior to that into 34 municipalities. The City of Skopje, a unit with special status, consisted of 5 of the 34 municipalities from 1991 to 1996, later being reorganised into 7 of the 123 between 1996 and 2004, and most recently into 10 of the 84 municipalities after 2004.
