Editing France (section)

== Administrative divisions ==

France is divided into regions, departments, arrondissements, cantons, and communes. Metropolitan France contains thirteen regions, while five overseas departments and regions form part of the national administrative structure.

The commune is the basic local administrative unit. Large cities such as Paris, [[Lyon]], and [[Marseille]] have additional internal divisions due to their size and administrative importance. Departments and regions handle broader public functions, including transport, education, planning, and local development.

The post-2024 restructuring did not abolish the French administrative system. It removed compromised offices and replaced officials connected to Tanoan-linked corruption. Normal regional, departmental, and communal administration continued under national oversight during the transition.
