The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a federation made up of twenty-three states (إسپانية: estados), a Capital District (إسپانية: Distrito Capital) and the Federal Dependencies (إسپانية: Dependencias Federales), which consist of many islands and islets in the Caribbean Sea.[1] Venezuela also claims the Guayana Esequiba territory which comprises six districts in the independent nation of Guyana.

The states and territories of Venezuela are usually organized into regions (إسپانية: regiones), although these regions are mostly geographical entities rather than administrative entities.

الولايات التاريخية

Prior to the Federal War (1859–1863), the country was divided into provinces rather than states (see Provinces of Venezuela). The victorious forces were supposed to grant more autonomy to the individual states, but this was not implemented.

From 1863 to the early 1900s there were numerous territorial changes, including the merger and splitting of states, but from then until the 1990s the states were left unchanged. States that existed during this time included Guzmán Blanco State (1873–1889). Originally a renamed Aragua State, in 1881 the states of Miranda, Guárico, Nueva Esparta and the Vargas department of the Federal District were merged into the state. This was part of a territorial reorganisation reducing the number of states from 20 to 9, which was reversed in 1901.

The 1990s saw the creation of three new states: Delta Amacuro (1991), Amazonas (1994), and Vargas (1998).
