Intrastate region
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The intrastate regions (Spanish: regiones), and sometimes districts (Spanish: distritos) are collections of municipalities in a Mexican state that are grouped together to support the administration of the state government and are not regulated by the Constitution of Mexico. The reasons for such a grouping include simplicity of administration and keeping statistics, politics, as well as geographic relationship (such as being part of a particular valley.)
Intrastate regions exist in the following 11 states:
- Chiapas groups its 124 municipalities into 15 economic regions.
- Guerrero groups its 81 municipalities into 7 economic regions.
- Hidalgo groups its 84 municipalities in 3 ways, into 26 micro regions, 14 operational regions, or 5 macro regions.
- Jalisco groups its 125 municipalities into 12 regions.
- México groups its 125 municipalities into 20 regions.
- Michoacán groups its 113 municipalities into 10 regions.
- Oaxaca groups its 570 municipalities into 30 districts, and then into 8 regions.
- San Luis Potosí groups its 58 municipalities into 4 regions.
- Tabasco groups its 17 municipalities in 2 ways, into 4 subregions, or 2 regions.
- Veracruz groups its 212 municipalities into 10 regions.
- Yucatán groups its 106 municipalities into 7 regions.
