The voivodeships are subdivided into ''powiats'' (often referred to in English as counties), and these are further divided into ''gminas'' (also known as communes or municipalities). Major cities normally have the status of both ''gmina'' and ''powiat''. Poland has 16 voivodeships, 380 powiats (including 66 cities with ''powiat'' status), and 2,478 ''gminas''.
