The Central African Republic is a former French colony (then called Ubangi-Shari, or Oubangui-Chari in French).

It is divided into 16 administrative prefectures (préfectures), two of which are economic prefectures (préfectures economiques), and one an autonomous commune; the prefectures are further divided into 71 sub-prefectures (sous-préfectures).
