Count

In cases where the local units are estimated, this is indicated '(est.)'.

Note

'Decentralized state units' report directly to the ministry. In other words there are no intermediate directorate etc.

'Decentralized subordinate units' have an intermediate level between themselves and the corresponding ministry. I.e. the units have to report through a directorate etc.
