These states are commonly called [i]Ostān[/i] as noun or [i]Ostānhā[/i] in its plural form. One state is further subdivided into counties or [i]Shahrestans[/i]. Each state is governed by a local center from the most populated cities which is called the capital or [i]markaz[/i]. These states are headed by a Governor-General or [i]Ostāndār[/i] which are elected locally by the populace of that state. One by one, governates were raised to provincial status from 1960 to 1981. The aftermath of the Iranian Revolution saw the creation of a federal republic which even further raised their status as states. Since then several new provinces have been created.[/font][color=white]- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/color] [b][size=175][font=Georgia]List of States[/font][/size][/b][hr] [table][tr][td][center][font=Georgia]State[/font][/center][/td][td][center][font=Georgia]Capital[/font][/center][/td][td][center][font=Georgia]Counties[/font][/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Alborz[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Karaj[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]4[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Ardabil[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Ardabil[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]9[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Bushehr[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Bushehr[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]9[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Shahrekord[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]6[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]East Azerbaijan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Tabriz[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]19[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Fars[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Shiraz[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]23[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Gilan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Rasht[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]16[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Golestan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Gorgan[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]11[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Hamadan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Hamadan[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]8[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Hormozgān[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Bandar Abbas[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]11[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Ilam[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Ilam[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]7[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Isfahan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Isfahan[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]21[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Kerman[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Kerman[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]14[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Khuzestan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Avaz[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]18[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Yasuj[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]5[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Kurdistan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Sanandaj[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]9[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Lorestan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Khorramabad[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]9[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Markazi[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Arak[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]10[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Mazandaran[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Sari[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]15[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]North Khorasan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Bojnourd[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]6[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Qazvin[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Qazvin[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]5[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Qom[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Qom[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]1[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Razavi Khorasan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Mashhad[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]29[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Semnan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Semnan[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]4[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Sistan and Baluchestan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Zahedan[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]8[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]South Khorasan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Birjand[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]8[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Tehran[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Tehran[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]13[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Yazd[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Yazd[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]10[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]West Azerbaijan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Urmia[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]14[/font][/Td][/tr] [tr][td][font=Helvetica]Zanjan[/font][/td][td][font=Helvetica]Zanjan[/font][/Td][td][font=Helvetica]7[/font][/Td][/tr] [/table]
