ILatviya

Latvia (Latvian: Latvija), officially known as the Republic of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Republika), is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. Since Latvia's independence in 1918, it has been referred to as one of the Baltic states. It is bordered by Estonia to the north, Lithuania to the south, Russia to the east, Belarus to the southeast, and shares a maritime border with Sweden to the west. Latvia has a territory of 64,589 km² (24,938 sq mi). Its capital and largest city is Riga; other notable major cities in Latvia are Daugavpils, Liepāja, Jelgava, and Jūrmala.

Latvia is divided into five planning regions, which are further subdivided into 9 republican cities (republikas pilsētas) and 110 municipalities (novadi).

The five planning regions (Latvian: Latvijas plānošanas reģioni) are Kurzeme, Latgale, Riga, Vidzeme, and Zemgale. The boundaries of the regions align to the boundaries of the municipalities of Latvia following the municipality reform of 1 July 2009. The planning regions of Latvia are not administrative-territorial divisions, since they are not mentioned in the law that prescribes the administrative-territorial divisions of Latvia.

On 10 June 2020, the Saeima (the Latvian parliament) approved a municipal reform that will reduce the 110 municipalities and 9 cities to 42 local government units.

Since of July 1, 2021, there are 36 municipalities and 7 non-municipality cities in Latvia.
