 Romania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romania is divided into 41 counties (judeţe), as well as the municipality of Bucharest, which is its own administrative unit.
Each county is administered by a county council (consiliu judeţean), responsible for local affairs, as well as a prefect, which is appointed by the central government but cannot be a member of any political party.
Alongside the county structure, Romania is also divided into eight development regions, which correspond to NUTS-II divisions in the European Union, but which have no administrative capacity and are instead used for co-ordinating regional development projects and statistical purposes.
