Prefectures and provinces of Morocco
This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Prefectures_and_provinces_of_Morocco".

In Morocco, the 61 second-level administrative subdivisions are 16 prefectures (wilayas) and 45 provinces[1]. They are subdivisions of the Regions of Morocco. Each prefecture and province are subdivided into districts (cercles, sing. cercle), municipalities (communes, sing. commune) or urban municipalities (communes urbaines, sing. commune urbaine), and arrondissements in some metropolitan areas. The districts are subdivided into rural municipalities (communes rurales, sing. commune rural).

Note: The municipalities and arrondissements should probably be thought of as fourth-level subdivisions, on the same level as the rural municipalities[2].

Western Sahara

Most of Western Sahara is under military occupation from Morroco; the rest is administered by the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR.) The international community considers the territory to be disputed and several states recognize the SADR as the sole legitimate government of Western Sahara.
