The NUTS codes define a hierarchical set of subdivisions of Bulgaria. At level 1, BG3 is called "Northern and Southeastern Bulgaria" and BG4 is called "Southwest and South Central Bulgaria" which are Bulgaria regions. The level-3 subdivisions are the provinces. The municipalities are the level-4 NUTS areas, and at level 5 there are "settlements". For any subdivision that has a NUTS code, when the last digit of the code is truncated, the result is the NUTS code for the higher-level division that contains it. There have been two previous versions of NUTS codes for Bulgaria. The first set all began with BG0 as you can see in Bulgaria regions map. Around 2000-2003, they were replaced by codes beginning with BG1 and BG2. The current set was introduced about 2007-01-01.

Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National Assembly. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. Since 1990, Bulgaria has an unstable party system, in the past two decades differently dominated by the post-communist Bulgarian Socialist Party or by the right Union of Democratic Forces and recently by the new right-oriented party - Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria.

Since 1999, Bulgaria has been divided into 28 states (Bulgarian: области, oblasti; singular област, oblast; also translated as "region") which correspond approximately to the 28 districts (okrugs) that existed before 1987. In 1987, during the Communist regime of Todor Zhivkov, the districts were consolidated into nine larger states (oblasts), which survived until 1999. Each state is named after its capital. In the case of Sofia Province and Sofia Capital, Sofia is the capital of both, but its territory is only included in Sofia Capital as you can see in Bulgaria states map. The states are further subdivided into 264 municipalities (община, obshtina). In 1987, the then-existing twenty-eight districts were transformed into nine large states. In 1999, the old districts were restored, but the designation "state" ("oblast") was kept. The nine large states are listed on Bulgaria states map, along with the pre-1987 districts (post-1999 provinces) comprising them.

Bulgaria 28 states as its shown in Bulgaria states map are as follow: Blagoevgard, Burgas, Dobric, Gabrovo, Grad Sofija, Haskovo, Jambol, Kardzali, Kjustendil, Lovec, Montana, Pazardzik, Pernik, Pleven, Plovdiv, Razgrad, Ruse, Silistra, Sliven, Smoljan, Sofija, Stara Zagora, Sumen, Targoviste, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo, Vidin,Vraca.

At times in Bulgaria history, the largest administrative division was an oblast. At other times the okrug was the largest division. It seems that when both are used together, oblasti are larger than okruzi. The word oblast can be translated in various ways, but "state" or "region" are common. Okruzi seem to be smaller units than oblasti, but often okruzi are the largest units given in the census publications. The word is frequently translated as "districts," "states," or "regions" as its mentioned in Bulgaria states map. Okolii are units between okruzi and obshtini, and are used in the older censuses; they can also be translated as "districts."Obshtini are even smaller units than okruzi and okolii, and the term is often translated as "communities" or "municipalities."
