Burma / Myanmar: The Flag of Shan State

Shan State is traditionally divided into three sub-states: North Shan State, East Shan State, and South Shan State. It is also officially divided into 11 districts: Taunggyi, Loilem, Kyaukme, Muse, Laukkaing (Laogai), Kunlong, Lashio, Kengtung, Mong Hsat, Mong Hpayak and Tachileik.

An additional district, Hopang District, was formed as 12th District of Shan State by combining of Mongmao, Pangwaun (Panwai), Namphan (Ngaphan) and Pangsang (Pangkham) Townships from Lashio District, Matman Township from Kengtung District; Hopang Township, and Panlong and Namtit Sub-Townships from Kunlong District in September 2011.
