Kyrgyzstan is divided into seven regions (Kyrgyz: облус, romanized: oblus; Russian: область, romanized: oblast).[1] The capital, Bishkek, is administered as an independent city of republican significance, as well as being the capital of Chüy Region. Osh also has independent city status since 2003.[2]
The regions, with their areas, census populations and capitals, are as follows:
