notes: On 15 February 2020, the government of South Sudan reversed its position on maintaining the controversial 32 states system and instead backed a return to the 10 states system which have been in use since 2005 (though with exceptions for the areas of Ruweng and Greater Pibor). The move comes as the deadline to establish a transitional government nears, and President Kiir has instructed the judiciary to immediately implement the directive. All 32 governors have been dismissed.
