| - The municipalities of Dutch Lower Saxony are the lowest form of local government in the Saxonian state of Dutch Lower Saxony, one level beneath the provinces. There are a total of 699 municipalities in the state. The status and political nature of municipalities greatly differ between and even within provinces. A municipality may be a large city, like Groningen, with nearly 200,000 inhabitants, or it may be merely a hamlet with fewer than 10 people. All municipalities have an official name, which may not be the same as the single community or largest community within the municipality. Though originally it was often the case that each village was its own municipality, nowadays after several mergers one will more often find that multiple communities can be found within a single municipal territory. The entirety of the state is divided into municipalities, even uninhabited areas and bodies of water. This can in some occasions create the illusion that a municipality is very large, even though most of its territory consists of water or uninhabited nature.
