Regions of France
France is divided into 27 administrative regions ((フランス語:région), (:ʁe.ʒjɔ̃)), 22 of which are in Metropolitan France and five of which are overseas regions. Corsica is a territorial collectivity (French ''collectivité territoriale''), but is considered a region in mainstream usage, and is even shown as such on the INSEE website. The mainland regions and Corsica are each further subdivided into departments, ranging in number from 2 to 8 per region for the metropolitan regions; the overseas regions technically consist of only one department each.
The term ''region'' was officially created by the Law of Decentralisation (2 March 1982), which also gave regions their legal status. The first direct elections for regional representatives took place on 16 March 1986.〔Jean-Marie Miossec (2009), ''Géohistoire de la régionalisation en France,'' Paris: Presses universitaires de France ISBN 978-2-13-056665-6.〕 In 2016, the number of regions will be reduced from 27 to 13 through amalgamation.
== General characteristics ==
In mainland France (excluding Corsica), the median land area of a region is 25,809 km2 (9,965 sq mi), which is slightly larger than the U.S. state of Vermont, 4% of the median land area of a Canadian province, or 15% larger than the median land area of a German ''Regierungsbezirk''.
In 2004, the median population of a region in continental France was 2,329,000 inhabitants, three quarters of the median population of a German state, but more than twice the median population of a Canadian province.
