In
1900, the Ottoman Empire (often informally called Turkey) was in decline. It
controlled extensive territory, but had been losing ground at an accelerating
pace. It had control in some degree over Albania, northern Greece, parts of
Bulgaria and what later became Yugoslavia, Crete, Cyprus, the Archipelago (the
eastern Aegean islands), Tripoli (Libya), Egypt, most of modern Turkey, the Fertile
Crescent, and the east and west coasts of the Arabian peninsula. (Egypt and
Cyprus were under British hegemony in actuality.) It lost Libya in the
Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912, followed by most of its European lands in the
Balkan Wars of 1912-1913. It was defeated in World War I, and the empire was
broken up into pieces. Turkey became its successor state.

The
provinces are divided into ilçe (districts) with limited function. The
districts are subdivided into communes, or municipalities, and villages. There
are widely recognized regions in Turkey (Thrace, or Turkey in Europe; Black Sea
Coast; Central Anatolia, etc.), but their standing is unofficial.
As
in all countries with NUTS codes, higher-level region codes can be obtained by
truncating a subdivision's NUTS code. Turkey's provinces have NUTS-3 codes,
consisting of "TR" followed by three characters (with a few
exceptions where a NUTS-3 region is coextensive with a NUTS-2 or NUTS-1
region). If they are truncated to the first four characters, the result is the
NUTS code for the NUTS-2 region containing the same province. All NUTS-2
regions have the same name as one of the provinces in the region, marked above
with an asterisk (*). The NUTS-1 regions of Turkey are: TR1 = İstanbul; TR2 = Batı Marmara; TR3 = Ege; TR4 = Doğu Marmara; TR5 = Batı Anadolu; TR6 = Akdeniz; TR7 = Orta Anadolu; TR8 = Batı Karadeniz; TR9 = Doğu Karadeniz; TRA = Kuzeydoğu Anadolu; TRB = Ortadoğu Anadolu; TRC = Güneydoğu Anadolu. English equivalents include Anatolia
for Anadolu, Central for Orta, East for Doğu, North for Kuzey, South for Güney,
and West for Batı.
1.

tiny Mediterranean islands such as Kekova.

5.

6.
İstanbul is partly in
Asia and partly in Europe, lying across the Bosporus.
7.
İzmir includes Uzun and
Kara islands in the Aegean Sea.
8.
Muğla includes some tiny
islands such as Salih, Kara, and Tersane.
9.

The UN LOCODE page
for Turkey lists locations in the country, some of them
with their latitudes and longitudes, some with their ISO 3166-2 codes for their
subdivisions. This information can be put together to approximate the
territorial extent of subdivisions.

1900, the Ottoman Empire was divided into vilayets (governorates), which were
subdivided into sanjaks (provinces). The sanjaks were similar in size to the
modern provinces, though different in detail. The vilayets which fell mainly
within the area of modern Turkey were:
