Thare is some poleetical disagreement on whether coonties are a practical, economical or even necessar level o admeenistration. (See Politics o Norway fur mair information.)
Leet o coonties[eedit | eedit soorce]
Below is a leet o the Norse coonties as thay hae been syne 1919, wi thair current admeenistrative centres. Note that the coonties are admeenistered baith bi appointees o the naitional govrenment an tae a lesser extent bi thair awn electit bodies. The coonty nummers are frae the offeecial numbering seestem ISO 3166-2:NO, which follaes the coastline frae the Swadish mairch in the sootheast tae the Roushie mairch in the northeast. The number 13 wis dropped frae the seestem when the ceety o Bergen (coonty no. 13) wis mergit intae Hordaland (coonty no. 12) in 1972.
