Regions of Venezuela
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

- 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.
