Myanmar is divided into seven states ({{lang|my|ပြည်နယ်}}) and seven regions ({{lang|my|တိုင်းဒေသကြီး}}), formerly called divisions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.myanmars.net/myanmar/index.htm |title=Myanmar.

States, in essence, are regions that are home to particular ethnic minorities. The administrative divisions are further subdivided into [[Districts of Myanmar|districts]], which are further subdivided into townships, [[Ward (country subdivision)|wards]], and villages. Since 30 April 2022, districts inside regions and states have been expanded to total count of 121.<ref>{{cite news
