Cuba is one long island, about 1,200 km from end to end and rarely more than 100 across, so the question on its map is never which side you are on but how far along. The province is the unit that answers it. Cubans split the island into Occidente in the west, Centro and Oriente in the east, and this quiz groups the provinces the same way.
The provinces (provincias) of Cuba, the first tier of the country, plus the Isle of Youth. Havana was divided in 2011: its old western province became Artemisa and Mayabeque, and the city kept the name La Habana, so older maps show fourteen provinces where this one shows fifteen.
The Isle of Youth (Isla de la Juventud) is not a province. It is a special municipality ruled directly from Havana, and it sits in the Caribbean south of Mayabeque, but it is the size of a province and Cubans list it beside them, so it is a target here too.
The provinces are very uneven. La Habana is a city and covers less than 900 square kilometres, while Camagüey in the middle of the island is the largest by a wide margin. In the east, Granma is named for the yacht that carried the revolutionaries ashore in 1956.
The groups are the regions Cubans teach their own geography in. The provinces are the Cuba Municipalities grouped, so the borders of the two maps match exactly.
Camagüey is the largest province on the island, running from the north coast to the south. Its capital is the city of the same name.
La Habana is the capital and covers under 900 square kilometres. It is small enough to need a tap area on the map, so zoom in to reach it.
The Isle of Youth is the second largest island of the Cuban archipelago, and a special municipality rather than a province. It has its own place in the quiz because it is the one shape on the map that is not part of the main island.
Fifteen, and the Isle of Youth as a special municipality, which is why the quiz has sixteen answers.
In 2011, when the province of Havana was split into Artemisa and Mayabeque.
The municipalities, 168 of them, which are their own quiz and are grouped by province.
The tier below this one is Cuba Municipalities. For another island country at this level, see Dominican Republic Provinces.
