Political map of Belgium, divided into provinces.
Political map of Belgium, divided into provinces. The country is divided into three regions. Two of these regions, the Flemish or Flanders Region, and the Walloon or Walloon Region, are subdivided into five provinces. The third region, the Brussels-Capital Region, is not divided into provinces, as it was originally only a small part of a province.
The division into provinces is fixed by article 5 of the Belgian Constitution. The provinces are subdivided into 43 administrative districts, and further into 589 municipalities.
