## Burmese States and Subdivisions

Myanmar is divided into seven states and seven regions (divisions prior to 2010) and the 2008 Constitution created a new division called "Union Territory" that is under direct control of the Union President. States are primarily divisions which are home to particular ethnic minorities.

[Ed. note: The list of states, regions and territories are based on ISO 3166-2:MM.]

- (MM-01) Sagaing Region
- (MM-02) Bago Region
- (MM-03) Magway Region
- (MM-04) Mandalay Region
- (MM-05) Tanintharyi Region
- (MM-06) Yangon Region

- (MM-14) Chin State
- (MM-15) Mon State
- (MM-16) Rakhine State
