Regions of Venezuela
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Administrative regions of Venezuela)
Venezuela's states, capital district, and federal dependencies have been grouped into administrative regions since a 1969 decree on regionalization that institutionalized a process of region development. The regions thereby created have been modified until attaining their present shape.

|---|---|---|---|
| Andean Region | 3,387,449 | 65,000 km² | Barinas, Mérida, Táchira, Trujillo; Páez Municipality of Apure |
| Capital Region | 5,403,441 | 9,879 km² | Miranda, Vargas, Capital District (Caracas) |
| Central Region | 4,026,931 | 26,464 km² | Aragua, Carabobo, Cojedes |
| Central-Western Region | 3,976,319 | 66,900 km² | Falcón, Lara, Portuguesa, Yaracuy |

Notes:
- Population figures are 2005 estimates
- The area of the Páez municipality has, for the time being, been incorrectly counted here as belonging to the Llanos region, rather than the Andean region.
