Administratively, Cuba is divided into 15 provinces and one special municipality. However during the legislature of 1976 Cuba had 6 provinces these being: Pinar del Rio, Havana, Oriente, Las Villas, Camagüey, and Matanzas, then 7 new provinces were created with the objective to manage better the resources in each region, however usually the Government excludes the new provinces and leave the original six when it comes to the Census and education for example the provinces of Mayabeque and Artemisa were part of the province of Havana and then separated and if people study in one of this provinces they do not have to change any sort of information because the students go off by the Havana school district. This is way the people in Cuba that are from the provinces of Guantánamo, Las Tunas or any other eastern province still nowadays say they are from Oriente. The last modification was approved in August 2010, splitting Havana province into two new provinces: Artemisa and Mayabeque. The new provinces started functioning from January 1, 2011.
