Mongolia is divided into 21 provinces or aimags (аймгууд, aimguud) and one provincial municipality.[1] Each aimag is subdivided into several districts.[2][3]
The modern provinces have been established since 1921. The capital, Ulaanbaatar, is governed as an independent provincial municipality separate from Töv Province, inside which it is situated.
