The following is a list of administrative divisions of the Republic of China (Taiwan), including six special municipalities and two nominal provinces [a] as the de jure first-level administrative divisions. 11 counties and three cities were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan Province, and two additional counties were part of Fuchien Province.

Contents

With provinces non-functional in practice, Taiwan is divided into 22 subnational divisions, among which counties and cities are the de facto principal constituent divisions, [3] along with special municipalities, directly under the Central Government. Each has a local government led by an elected head and a local council. [4]
