Instead of provinces, Democratic Kampuchea was divided into geographic zones, derived from divisions established individually Khmer Rouge when they fought against the ill-fated Khmer Republic led by General Lon Nol.[7] There were seven zones: The Northwest, the North, the Northeast, the East, the Southwest, the West and the Center, plus two "Special Regions": The Kratie Special Region no 505 and (before mid-1977) the Siemreap Special Region no 106.[8
