Regions

The administrative division of Nicaragua comprises 15 departments (departamentos) and 2 autonomous regions (región autónoma). The municipalities (municipios) are classified at a lower level, 152 of which are separated.

Autonomous regions (Autonomous Communities) follow the Spanish model. They cover the areas of the country located in the eastern part of the country where there is an English-speaking minority. They were introduced in 1986 to replace the dissolved 16th Zelaya Department. These regions are headed by a governor and a regional council.
