a) Comunidades Autónomas (Self Governing or Autonomous Communities). The Constitution proclaims the indissoluble unity of the nation, but it also recognizes and guarantees the right to the autonomy of all nationalities and regions that are comprised in the State of Spain. There are 17 Autonomous Communities at present: Andalusia, Aragon Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile and Leon, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, Madrid, Region of Murcia, Navarran Foral Community, the Basque Country, La Rioja a and the Valencian Community. In addition, Ceuta and Melilla became cities with statutes of autonomy of their own.

(2) With the assent of a majority of the people of the province or provinces concerned, and of the municipality or municipalities concerned, expressed by means of a referendum, after consulting the regional council, a state law may allow provinces and municipalities which request it to be detached from one region and assigned to another."

En el ordenamiento institucional uruguayo, existen 19 circunscripciones administrativas que se llamas “Departamentos”, algunos de tamaño superior a Holanda, Bélgica, Rep. Checa, Eslovenia, etc. En Uruguay se usan casi como sinónimos “Departamento” y “Municipio”. En esas circunscripciones, existen autoridades para todo el departamento que se denominan: “Intendente Municipal” (órgano ejecutivo departamental) y “Junta Departamental” (órgano deliberativo y de control del ejecutivo departamental).
Esta nomenclatura puede generar confusión ya que en algunos países se utiliza la denominación “Estados”, “Provincias”, “Regiones” y en Uruguay es “Departamento” que reitero es usado como sinónimo de “Municipio”.
Se ha previsto el recurso de referéndum contra los Decretos de las Juntas Departamentales.
