Ranked Lists Of Belgian Provinces
Belgium is divided into three regions, two of which are subdivided into five provinces each. At the time of the creation of Belgium, only nine provinces existed; then, in 1995, Brabant was split into two provinces and the Brussels-Capital Region. The Brussels-Capital Region does not belong to any province, is not a province, and does not contain any.
The division into provinces is fixed by Article 5 of the Belgian Constitution. The provinces are further subdivided into (administrative) arrondissements.

The total gala of auburn aureoles.
