Naypyidaw Union Territory

The Naypyidaw Union Territory spans 7,054 square kilometers and contains eight townships arranged in residential sectors based on governmental positions.

The territory gained its administrative status in 2005 when Myanmar relocated its capital from Yangon to Naypyidaw through extensive construction projects.

Buddhist temples and monasteries house over 10,000 monks across the territory, maintaining traditional religious practices within modern administrative structures.

The territory operates under direct federal administration through the Naypyidaw Council, with transportation systems primarily managed by government ministries.

The territory features distinct functional zones, including separate areas for ministries, military facilities, diplomatic missions, and residential compounds.
