Regions of Chile

| Chile is divided into 15 regions (in Spanish, regiones; singular región), each of which is headed by an intendant (intendente), appointed by the President.The regions have formally both a name and a Roman numeral (e.g. IV, fourth), with the numbers being assigned in sequence from north to south. In general, the Roman numeral is used rather than the name. The only exception is the region where the national capital is situated, which is called the Santiago Metropolitan Region (Región Metropolitana de Santiago, or RM).
