Administrative Areas of Zhenia
The Greater Eastern Union of Zhenia is formally divided into four different levels of administration, which are separated by varying degrees of administrative power - provincial (provinces and metropolitan municipalities), prefectural (independent city or prefecture), municipal (municipality, town or county) and township.
Levels
Regional Level
Although not officially used by the Government of Zhenia since 1961, the Regions were and still are at least statistically considered the highest level of administrative division in the nation. Consisting of multiple province-level administrative subdivisions, they have been classified primarily in accordance to geography and cultural similarities. While a nominal governmental structure existed for each of the regions until 1961, it has become more of a theoretical organization lacking a governing structure under the reforms of the Third Republic.
Today, however, such regions exist as statistical, administrative and social benchmarks used for reference within the government and among citizens. As of now, there are five of such regions statistically accepted by the Federal Census Bureau in the nation - the Danguk Peninsula region (often alternately referred to as Eastern Zhenia), Northern Zhenia, Western Zhenia, Central Zhenia and Southern Zhenia.
