Sum (administrative division)
- Sum (administrative division)
Sum, sumu, sumon, and somon ("sumuud") are a type of administrative district used in China, Mongolia, and Russia.
China
In Inner Mongolia, a "sumu" (Chinese: 苏木; pinyin: "sūmù") is a township-level political/administrative division. The "sumu" division is equivalent to a township but is unique to Inner Mongolia. It is therefore larger than a village and smaller than a banner (the Inner Mongolia equivalent of the county-level division).
"Sumu" whose population is predominated by ethnic minorities are designated ethnic sumu – parallel with the ethnic township in the rest of China.
Mongolia
A sum ( _mn. сум, "arrow") is the second level administrative subdivision below the Aimags (provinces), roughly comparable to a County in the USA. There are 331 sums in Mongolia. Each sum is again subdivided into "bags".
Russia
In Russia, a sumon is an administrative division of the Tuva Republic, and somon ("sumuud") is that of the Buryat Republic. Both are describing the Russian term "selsoviet".
