Administrative divisions of Kuehong

Kuehong is a federation of nine states (阁县 Các huyện) and one federal territory (区域联邦 Khu vực liên bang). Governance of the states is officially divided between the federal and the state governments, with different powers reserved for each, ever since the 2003 decentralisation of power. However, many said that Federal government, while it has direct administration of the federal territories, remains to have huge control over the states as well.

The states, in turn, are further divided into prefectures (省 tỉnh) or districts (郡 quận).

States and federal territory
Kuehong is divided into nine states (阁县 Các huyện) and one federal territory of Bak-dep. Each state has a state capital where the regional council seats, which is elected every four years, and a single regional executive, who is elected by the council.

A federal territory is governed directly by the federal government of Kuehong. Since the revocation of the federal territory status of Namthinvuong in 2007, Bakdep, the capital of Kuehong, is the only federal territory.
