The Republic of China currently administers two historical provinces of China:
- Taiwan Province: completely (all but one county are on the Taiwanese main island.)
- Sixteen counties,
- Two municialities, and
- Five provincially administrated cities.
- Fujian Province: partially
- Two counties are under the jurisdiction of the ROC.
The romanization used for ROC placenames is Wade-Giles, except "Keelung" and "Quemoy", which are the more popular versions of romanization. "Chiayi" is a slightly modified form of the Wade-Giles version, "Chia-i".
