Somalia is officially divided into eighteen administrative regions (gobollada, singular gobol), which in turn are subdivided into districts. On a de facto basis, northern Somalia is divided among the autonomous states of Puntland and Somaliland. In central Somalia, Galmudug is another regional administration that emerged just south of Puntland.

The Federal Parliament of Somalia is tasked with selecting the ultimate number and boundaries of the autonomous regional states (officially, Federal Member States) within the Federal Republic of Somalia.

Famous quotes containing the words states and/or regions:

    “If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed, we must protect those who, in foreign ports, display the flag or wear the colors of this Government against insult, brutality, and death, inflicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    “In common with other rural regions much of the Iowa farm lore concerns the coming of company. When the rooster crows in the doorway, or the cat licks his fur, company is on the way.”
    —For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
