Intrastate region

Last updated

The intrastate regions (Spanish : regiones), and sometimes districts (Spanish : distritos) are collections of municipalities in a Mexican state that are grouped together to support the administration of the state government and are not regulated by the Constitution of Mexico. The reasons for such a grouping include simplicity of administration and keeping statistics, politics, as well as geographic relationship (such as being part of a particular valley.)
