How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01. THE DRAWING DIFFERS FROM TODAY'S LIST IN ONE PLACE. Myanmar has seven states, seven regions and a union territory, Nay Pyi Taw; the boundary file (Natural Earth 5.1.2) draws the 14 states and regions and has no shape for the union territory, whose land lies inside its Mandalay shape. The page numbers and asks the 13 shapes that are a state or a region of today (Ayeyarwady, Bago, Magway, Sagaing, Tanintharyi and Yangon regions; Chin, Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Mon, Rakhine and Shan states); the Mandalay shape is in this file for the drawing and is never asked, and the dot of the capital, Naypyidaw, is part of the drawing and is not a numbered place. Moved by hand inside its shape, so that its name has room beside Yangon: the point of Ayeyarwady (from 223.4, 590.3 to 196.2, 601.3). On the drawing each name is written without the word State or Region (the short spelling of each item). The count and all 15 names were read on 2026-10-01 at the country overview of the United Nations' Myanmar Information Management Unit (https://themimu.info/country-overview) and in ISO 3166-2:MM as printed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:MM (codes 01 to 07 regions, 11 to 17 states, 18 the union territory); the capital and the neighbors at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar and on the United Nations map of Myanmar (Map No. 4168 Rev. 4, https://www.un.org/geospatial/content/myanmar). The boundary file calls the regions divisions, their name before the 2008 constitution; the labels say Region.

How it works

This blank map of Myanmar, also called Burma, opens on the plain outline of the country. Switch Borders on for its states and regions. The map source does not draw the Naypyidaw Union Territory apart, so Mandalay carries no number.

Read the full guide

A plain outline first

The sheet opens with nothing inside the outline but a dot for Naypyidaw, the capital. Press Print this map for a blank map of Burma to draw rivers, cities or borders on.

States and regions

Switch Borders on first: it adds the lines of the seven states and seven regions, and Numbered and Named then label 13 of them. The shape with the dot has no number: it is Mandalay Region together with the Naypyidaw Union Territory, which the map source does not draw apart.

  • Have students write the two missing names in by hand: Mandalay Region, and the Naypyidaw Union Territory around the dot.

Questions and answers

Is Burma the same country as Myanmar?

Yes. Burma was the country’s official English name until 1989. This map uses Myanmar, and the quiz also accepts older names such as Rangoon for Yangon and Arakan for Rakhine.

How many states and regions does Myanmar have?

Seven states, seven regions and a union territory, Naypyidaw (also written Nay Pyi Taw). The states are Chin, Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Mon, Rakhine and Shan. The regions are Ayeyarwady, Bago, Magway, Mandalay, Sagaing, Tanintharyi and Yangon.

Why does Mandalay have no number?

The map source has no line between Mandalay Region and the Naypyidaw Union Territory, so the two are one shape here. The other 13 shapes are states and regions as they are today, and only those are numbered.

Which countries border Myanmar?

India and Bangladesh (northwest), China (northeast), and Laos and Thailand (east and southeast), all unnamed. Some borders on this map are disputed. The map follows Natural Earth, a public-domain map source, and does not take a side.
