Laosis divided into 17provinces(Lao:ແຂວງ,khoueng) and 1 prefecture (kampheng nakhon), or capital city municipality (ນະຄອນຫຼວງ,nakhonluang). Furthermore, 1 so-called special administrative zone (ເຂດພິເສດ,khet phiset) existed between 1994 and 2006, when it was re-merged into its surrounding provinces (i.e. Vientiane and Xiangkhoang). The Xaisomboun special administrative zone was later recreated as the 17th province. Each province is subdivided into districts (Lao:ເມືອງ,mueang) and then subdivided into villages (Lao:ບ້ານ,baan).
