Mongolia is divided into 21 Provinces ([аймаг] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help), often translated as aimags 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]
