Provinces of Mongolia

For aimags in Inner Mongolia, see Leagues of Inner Mongolia.

Mongolia is divided into 21 provinces or aimags (Mongolian: аймаг) and one provincial municipality. Each aimag is subdivided into several districts.^[1][2] The modern provinces have been established since 1921. The capital, Ulaanbaatar, is governed as an independent provincial municipality separate from Töv Province, inside which it is situated. ^{[citation needed]}
