What it is Filled
A general category for the units into which the country of Chad is divided for administration, forming a hierarchy that the registry aliases name, including regions, departments, prefectures, subprefectures and municipalities; the term covers any such subnational division of Chad rather than one named unit. The exact structure has changed over time as Chad reorganised its administrative divisions, so current names and boundaries should be checked against current sources.
