Regions of Morocco - As part of a 1997 decentralization/regionalization law passed by the legislature 16 new regions (provided below) were created (capitals in parentheses). It is the current highest administrative division of Morocco. Each region is subdivided into 61 second-order administrative divisions, which are prefectures and provinces. A Moroccan region is governed by a Wali, nominated by the King. The Wali is also governor of the province (or prefecture) where he resides.

Main article: Western Sahara

Several regions — Guelmim-Es Semara (6), Laâyoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra (7), and Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira (11) — coincide with Western Sahara, whose sovereignty is disputed between Morocco and the Polisario Front which claims the territory as the independent Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, but presently holds only questionable control over regions outside of the Moroccan Wall.
