Rondônia has 52 municipalities across 238,000 km², 2.8 per cent of Brazil. IBGE groups them into 6 immediate regions, drawn around the towns that supply jobs, trade and services to their surroundings, and into 2 intermediate regions that tie those networks together. Ji-Paraná is the intermediate region with the most municipalities (34); Porto Velho, the one with the fewest (18). The largest municipality is Porto Velho (34,091 km²); the smallest, Teixeirópolis (460 km²).

Paraná has 399 municipalities across 199,000 km², 2.3 per cent of Brazil. IBGE groups them into 29 immediate regions, drawn around the towns that supply jobs, trade and services to their surroundings, and into 6 intermediate regions that tie those networks together. Maringá is the intermediate region with the most municipalities (115); Guarapuava, the one with the fewest (19). The largest municipality is Guarapuava (3,164 km²); the smallest, Pinhais (61 km²). Part of the series “Brazil, state by state”: a clean base, with official boundaries and the road network, to start a map without losing the first afternoon gathering files.

Espírito Santo has 78 municipalities across 46,000 km², 0.5 per cent of Brazil. IBGE groups them into 8 immediate regions, drawn around the towns that supply jobs, trade and services to their surroundings, and into 4 intermediate regions that tie those networks together. Cachoeiro do Itapemirim is the intermediate region with the most municipalities (24); São Mateus, the one with the fewest (15). The largest municipality is Linhares (3,496 km²); the smallest, Piúma (74 km²).

Territorial divisions and highways

Fig. 001 São Paulo state (SP) EPSG:4674 Source: IBGE, MapBiomas, Natural Earth

São Paulo has 645 municipalities across 248,000 km², almost three per cent of Brazil. IBGE groups them into 53 immediate regions, drawn around the towns that supply jobs, trade and services to their surroundings, and into 11 intermediate regions that tie those networks together. São José do Rio Preto, in the north-west, gathers a hundred small municipalities; São Paulo, fifty, nearly all pressed against the capital. This plate opens the series “Brazil, state by state”: a clean base, with official boundaries and the paved road network, for anyone who needs to start a map of the state without losing the first afternoon gathering files.
