PART II · REGIONAL CHAPTERS
Regional profiles follow this country's administrative and statistical geography. Each profile contains its own sections, sources and coverage notes.
- Classification roster — date unspecified↗
12 county and 61 municipality entries, with source codes. This source does not verify municipality parents or legal effective dates.
- 2023 census statistical units↗
12 prefecture and 61 municipality profiles. Census resident counts retain their 2023 definition and source identity; municipality-to-prefecture links are unverified.
- 2024 business register groupings↗
12 prefecture profiles with 61 municipality child profiles and active-farmer figures. These source-defined groupings do not establish current legal boundaries.
- Education — 2023 census workbook↗
12 workbook-native 2023 prefecture profiles. Highest educational attainment categories as printed; no level completed and never attended school remain separate. No combined attainment categories, shares or current estimates are derived. No crosswalk to other workbook prefectures or administrative units is asserted.
- Dwelling water and toilet — 2023 census workbook↗
12 workbook-native 2023 prefecture profiles. Water-supply and toilet categories are two separate partitions of all inhabited dwellings. They are not persons, households or population health indicators. No crosswalk to other workbook prefectures or administrative units is asserted.
- Household amenities — 2023 census workbook↗
12 workbook-native 2023 prefecture profiles. Multiple amenities may be reported by one household. These categories are not a partition and cannot be added to infer total households. Denominators remain null; no shares are calculated. No crosswalk to other workbook prefectures or administrative units is asserted.
PART III · APPENDICES
FIND IN THIS BOOK
Edition coverage
Regional coverage is partial: 12 first-level and 61 next-level source entries in each of three separately dated/undated systems. No cross-system boundary equivalence or automatic geographic crosswalk is asserted.
Municipality parents are verified only within the 2024 business register. Classification and census municipality entries are associated with this book, without assigning unverified county parents.
Regional history, legal effect, seats, government institutions, area, education, health, general economy, energy, communications, transport, environment and security remain unresearched.
2023 census values are historical usual-resident population counts at midnight between 17 and 18 September 2023; they are not current estimates. The 2024 register counts active farmers, not agricultural employment or population.
Ura Vajgurore in the classification and Dimal in the census/register remain separate source-native records; official gazette publication, commencement and boundary equivalence are not verified.
National chapters and dated facts are inherited from the shared World database at the selected edition release; this package neither duplicates nor updates them.
A reviewed population ranking and detailed profiles for the ten largest cities have not yet been supplied; ranking year, population measure and city geography must be recorded.
An additional 444 reviewed counts cover 36 workbook-native prefecture profiles: education ages 15+, inhabited-dwelling water/toilet, and private-household amenities. These observations do not fill fields of the existing 219 source entries without an independently supported geographic crosswalk. The 192 amenity denominators remain null.
Unresearched regional fields remain explicit gaps within their chapters. A title in the contents does not indicate that every field has been completed.
