Subdivisions Of Croatia
The subdivisions of Croatia on the first level are the 20 counties (''županija'', pl. ''županije'') and one city-county ('' grad'', "city"). On the second level these are municipalities ('' općina'', pl. ''općine'') and cities (''grad'', pl. ''gradovi'').

''naselja'') which are not public or legal entities, the Croatian Bureau of Statistics consider them as non-administrative units – human settlements, similar to the United States census designated places.
