Moravia (Mähren; Maehren), Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is divided into 14 regions (Higher Territorial Self-governing Units – Vyssi uzemne-spravni celky - VUSC in Czech), which came into effect on 1st January 2000.

The following six of these regions constitute the territory of Moravia, which represents a geographic region, but does not have any administrative status: Moravia-Silesia (capital: Ostrava), Olomouc (Olomouc), South Moravia (Brno), Vysocina (Jihlava) and Zlin (Zlín).
