Below is a list of Venezuela's 23 states plus the Capital District and federal agencies (Federal Offshore Units) consisting of a large number of islands of Venezuela .
 Historical states: Before the Federal War (1859-1863), Venezuela was divided into provinces instead of states. The victorious forces were supposed to grant more autonomy to each of the states, but this was not carried out. From 1863 to early 1900 there were numerous territorial changes, including merging and splitting of the states, but from then until the late 1990s, states were left unchanged. However, in recent years have seen the creation of three new states: Delta Amacuro, Amazonas and Vargas (in that order). The states are listed along with their corresponding logos, data and location. | Flag | Coat of Arms | States | Capital city | Population (2007 est.). | Area | Region | Location |
