The "kraje" are subdivided into many okresy (districts). Slovakia currently has 79 districts. The districts are then subdivided into village or municipality.

In terms of economics and unemployment rate, the western regions are richer than eastern regions; however the relative difference is no bigger than in most EU countries having regional differences.
