The 15 departments and 2 autonomous regions of Nicaragua are divided into 153 municipalities.〔(Inifom - Perfiles municipales )〕 The formation and dissolution of municipalities is governed by the Law of Municipalities (in Spanish: ''Ley No.40 - Ley de Municipalidades''), drafted and approved by the National Assembly on July 2. 1988. The municipalities are responsible for planning and urban development, collection of municipal taxes, maintenance of public utilities and other services, such as parks, sewerage and public cemeteries. Whilst municipal governments may not be responsible for large highways, small roads and tracks usually come under their control. Additionally, municipal governments may issue permits for the operation of urban and intermunicipal bus services. Other functions of municipal governments include the establishment of libraries, museums, municipal bands, zoos, the promotion of traditional and folklore festivals and all kinds of activities that promotes education, culture, sports and tourism in the municipality.〔(Law of Municipalities - Ley 40 (in Spanish) )〕 File:Nicaragua municipalities.png|Municipalities of Nicaragua File:Nicaragua cities over 20th map.png|Cities over 20,000 inhabitants in Nicaragua (1995 census) File:CornIsland.JPG|Aerial view of Corn Island File:Corinto Port Ship.jpg|The Port of Corinto File:Selvanegragazebo1.JPG|Selva Negra in Matagalpa File:PenasBlancas, part of the Bosawas Reserve, Jinotega Department, Nicaragua.jpg| Peñas Blancas, part of the Bosawás Biosphere Reserve in Jinotega.
