Alongside the county structure, Romania is also divided into eight development regions, which correspond to NUTS-II divisions in the European Union, but which have no administrative capacity and are instead used for co-ordinating regional development projects and statistical purposes. The country is further subdivided into 2686 communes, which are rural localities, and 265 towns. Communes and towns have their own local councils and are headed by a mayor (primar). Larger and more urbanised towns gain the status of municipality, which gives them greater administrative power over local affairs. __________________________________________________________________ Ialomita County
Ialomita is a county (judet) of Romania, in Muntenia, with the capital city at Slobozia.
Demographics Romanians make up 95.6% of the population, the largest minority being the Roma people (4.1%) Year County population Geography The county is situated in the Baragan Plain, all the area is flat crossed by small rivers with small but deep valleys. Its east border is on Danube and the Ialomita River crosses the county from West to Eeast about the middle. The Danube is split around the Ialomita Pond - the Old Danube branch and the Borcea branch. Until 1940 (in the West part) and 1967 (in the East part) the county/plain was home of the great bustard (dropie in romanian), with large populations of this bird. The birds disappeared because of the massive village buildout and hunting them for food. Neighbours
