|} Bolivia is divided into 9 departments (Spanish: departamentos). These are (with their capitals indicated in parentheses):
- Beni (Trinidad)
- Chuquisaca (Sucre)
- Cochabamba (Cochabamba)
- La Paz (La Paz)
- Oruro (Oruro)
- Pando (Cobija)
- Potosí (Potosí)
- Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz de la Sierra)
- Tarija (Tarija)
Each of the departments is subdivided into provinces (provincias), which are further subdivided into municipalities (municipios).
The Antofagasta Region in Chile is considered on the country's constitution to be a captive 10th department called "Litoral."
On 2007-12-15, Santa Cruz, Beni, Pando and Tarija declared autonomy from the central government, citing President Evo Morales' support for the country's indigenous population as their motivation, a move considered illegal by the federal government.
