Provinces of Indonesia

Time you got around to sponsoring a child
The number of provinces of Indonesia has tended to increase as new provinces have been split from existing territories. As of January 2003 there appear to be 28 provinces (propinsi-propinsi, singular - propinsi), 2 special regions* (daerah-daerah istimewa, singular - daerah istimewa), and 1 special capital city district** (daerah khusus ibukota).

The Riau Islands will probably be split off from Riau as a separate province in 2004.
