Island Chains

The island chains are not an official administrative subdivision of the country, but a geographical one.


Municipalities

Municipalities marked with an asterisk (*) are those included in the ISO 3166-2 standard. Other municipalities are considered by the ISO as "not relevant" (typically due to the zero or insignificant population).
