Map showing the regions of Guinea-Bissau, labeled in Portuguese.

Guinea-Bissau is a small country in West Africa with a rich cultural history. It is divided into 8 regions and 1 autonomous sector. These regions help organize the country's areas for governance and administration.

Each of the regions is further divided into smaller parts called sectors, with a total of 39 sectors across the country. These sectors are then split into even smaller groups known as sections, which include various populated places like towns, villages, and communities. This structure helps manage the country's resources and services effectively.
