A kraj (plural: ''kraje'') is the highest-level administrative unit in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. For lack of other English expressions, the Slavic term is often translated as "province", "region", or "territory", although it actually approximately means "(part of) country", or "(part of) countryside". A ''kraj'' is subdivided into ''okresy'' ("counties"). The first ''kraje'' were created in the Kingdom of Bohemia during the reign of Charles IV in the 14th century and they lasted till 1862/68. ''Kraje'' were reintroduced in 1949 in Czechoslovakia and still exist today (except for the early 1990s) in its successor states despite many rearrangements. In Russia nine of the 83 federal subjects are called krais (''края, kraya''), coequal to oblasts. The toponym Krajina refers to several historical regions in Slavic countries. ==See also== *Regions of the Czech Republic *Regions of Slovakia *Federal subjects of Russia *Krajina *Semasiological map for *krajь 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kraj」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
