Navarre, officially the Chartered Community of Navarre, is a landlocked foral autonomous community and province in northern Spain, bordering the Basque Autonomous Community, La Rioja, and Aragon in Spain and New Aquitaine in France. The capital city is Pamplona. The present-day province makes up the majority of the territory of the medieval Kingdom of Navarre, a long-standing Pyrenean kingdom that occupied lands on both sides of the western Pyrenees, with its northernmost part, Lower Navarre, located in the southwest corner of France.

Orcoyen is a town and municipality located in the province and autonomous community of Navarre, northern Spain, being part of Pamplona's metropolitan area.

This area is home to one of Spain's most industrious regions, which is Pamplona's metropolitan area; this has triggered a transition from an agricultural background, giving way to the automotive industry.

The Chartered Community of Navarre is divided in 12 regions —named eskualdeak in basque and comarcas in Spanish—, which are juridical figures constituted as local administrative divisions designed to provide local proximity services. They follow the ancient divisions of the Kingdom of Navarre, which include figures such as the merindade or the almiradio. Currently, Navarre is divided into 12 eskualdeak/comarcas(regions) and 4 azpieskualdeak/subcomarcas (subregions) since the 04/2019 Foral Law approved by the Barkos government on 2019. However, the process of dissolution of the old entities and creation of the new ones was stopped by the following Chivite government, making it today still unachieved, even though the eskualdeak/comarcas exist officially.
