Many of the units have equivalents in the <a href="/wiki/Administrative_Divisions_of_South_Korea" class="mw-redirect" title="Administrative Divisions of South Korea">system</a> of <a href="/wiki/South_Korea" title="South Korea">South Korea</a>. At the highest level are nine <a href="/wiki/Provinces" class="mw-redirect" title="Provinces">provinces</a> and four special municipalities. The second-level divisions are cities, counties, and districts. These are further subdivided into third-level entities: towns, dongs (neighborhoods), ris (villages), and workers' districts. </p><p>The three-level administrative system used in North Korea was first inaugurated by <a href="/wiki/Kim_Il_Sung" title="Kim Il Sung">Kim Il Sung</a> in 1952, as part of a massive restructuring of local government. Previously, the country had used a multi-level system similar to that still used in <a href="/wiki/South_Korea" title="South Korea">South Korea</a>. </p><p>(The English translations are not official, but approximations.
