The lowest level of political division of Brazil are the municipalities, which has some political and economical autonomy. There are 5569 municipalities in Brazil, comprising almost the entirety of the country's territory. The only exceptions are the Federal District (not divided into municipalities, but into 35 administrative regions, without any political autonomy) and the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, which consists in a state district of Pernambuco.
Statistical areas
