The regions can be described as ethnically predominantly Burman, while the states, the zones and Wa Division are dominated by ethnic minorities.
  Yangon Region has the largest population and is the most densely populated. The smallest population is Kayah State. In terms of land area, Shan State is the largest and Naypyidaw Union Territory is the smallest.
