The municipalities of Moldova are Chisinau, Balti, and Bender. These are cities with a special status as first-level administrative units, similar to that of the districts. Chisinau is the capital of Moldova, and holds the special status as a result of this.

Gagauzia is considered an autonomous territorial unit, and is located in southern Moldova. Gagauzia has an area of 1,832 square kilometers (707 square miles). The population of Gagauzia is over 80 percent ethnic Gagauz.

Transnistria is another territory of Moldova, located in the north, along the border with Ukraine. Transnistria declared its independence in 1990, but is treated as an autonomous territory of Moldova, with a special legal status. After the War of Transnistria in 1992, the region's official status is unresolved.
