Five Regional Councils have been set up in 2011, corresponding to the five Regions: Region Gozo, Northern Region, Central Region, Southeast Region and Southern Region (Article 37A(1) of the Local Government Act). As from October 2021, these will be increased to six regional councils which correspond to the six regions of Malta as you can see in Malta regions map: Northern Region, Eastern Region, Western Region, Port Region, Southern Region, Gozo Region, following the 2019 amendment to the Local Government Act. The Central Region (Maltese: Reġjun Ċentrali) is one of five regions of Malta. The region includes the central part of the main island of Malta. The region borders the Northern, Southern and South Eastern Regions. Central Region includes parts of the Northern Harbour and Western Districts. Central localities are each renowned for their abundance in specific property types; Attard and Balzan are ideal for those looking to purchase villas; Zebbug is perfect if you are looking for a House of Character, and so on.
The Northern region of Malta is an extremely scenic area with views of weaving valleys and green hills that have been cultivated for several years. These such scenes offer great trails for walks and hikes where one can also enjoy the scenery, including coastline views. Explore the North of Malta, see the beautiful properties in the North.

The region does not border with any other regions, but it is close to the Northern Region. The region was created by the Local Councils Act of 1993. It is the only original region still in existence, since the other two (Malta Majjistral and Malta Xlokk) were split into smaller regions by Act No. XVI of 2009.

The politics of Malta takes place within a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the President of Malta is the constitutional head of state as you can see in Malta political map. Executive Authority is vested in the President of Malta with the general direction and control of the Government of Malta remaining with the Prime Minister of Malta who is the head of government and the cabinet. Legislative power is vested in the Parliament of Malta which consists of the President of Malta and the unicameral House of Representatives of Malta with the Speaker presiding officer of the legislative body. Judicial power remains with the Chief Justice and the Judiciary of Malta. Since Independence, the party electoral system has been dominated by the Christian democratic Nationalist Party (Partit Nazzjonalista) and the social democratic Labour Party (Partit Laburista).
Since independence, general elections have been held in 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1987, 1992, 1996, 1998 , 2003 and 2008. Two political parties have dominated Malta polarized and evenly-divided politics during this period as its shown in Malta political map: the Partit Nazzjonalista (Nationalist Party) and the Partit Laburista (Labour Party). Third parties have failed to score any electoral success: in the 2008 election the Alternattiva Demokratika (Democratic Alternative - a Green Party established in 1989) and the Azzjoni Nazzjonali (National Action) managed to secure only 1.31% and 0.5% of the first preference votes nationwide respectively. Elections have invariably generated a widespread voter turnout exceeding 90% of registered voters. The 1996 elections resulted in the election of the Labour Party, by 8,000 votes, to replace the Nationalists who had won in 1987 and 1992.
The Nationalist government wrapped up negotiations for European Union membership by the end of 2002. A referendum on the issue was called in March 2003 for which the Nationalists and the Democratic Alternative campaigned for a "yes" vote while Labour campaigned heavily for "no" vote, invalidate their vote or abstain. Turnout was 91%, with more than 53% voting "yes". The Labour Party argued that the "yes" votes amounted to less than 50% of the overall votes, hence, and citing the Integration referendum as an example, they claimed that the "yes" had not in fact won the referendum. The then MLP Leader Alfred Sant said that the General Elections that was to be held within a month would settle the affair. In the General Elections the Nationalists were returned to office with 51.79% of the vote to Labour 47.51% as its mentioned in Malta political map. The Democratic Alternative managed 0.68%. The Nationalists were thus able to form a government and sign and ratify the EU Accession Treaty on 16 April 2003.

The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and 288 km north of Africa. The archipelago consists of three states: Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of over 400,000 inhabitants occupying an area of 316 square kilometers as you can see in Malta states map. Malta is the largest island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Malta has been described as one big open-air museum. What makes it unique is that so much of the past is visible today. Delve into the island mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of St. Paul or see where the Knights of St. John fought their most famous battles.
Gozo is known to provide a tranquil haven for a tempo and scene change. The charm of Malta sister Island is immediately apparent; it is greener, more rural and smaller, with life rhythms dictated by the seasons, fishing and agriculture. Steeped in myth, Gozo is thought to be the legendary Calypso isle of Homer Odyssey – a peaceful, mystical backwater as its shown in Malta states map. Baroque churches and old stone farmhouses dot the countryside. Gozo rugged landscape and spectacular coastline await exploration with some of the Mediterranean best dive sites. The island also comes complete with historical sites, forts and amazing panoramas, as well as one of the archipelago best-preserved prehistoric temples, Ġgantija. Gozo also possesses a nightlife and cultural calendar all of its own, with some great dining out
Situated between Malta and Gozo, the smaller island of Comino is a paradise for snorkelers, divers, windsurfers and ramblers. Only 3.5 square kilometers, Comino is car-free and apart from one hotel, is virtually uninhabited. The island main attraction is the Blue Lagoon. In summer, this sheltered inlet of shimmering aquamarine water over white sand is very popular with day-trippers. Other beaches on the island include Santa Marija Bay and San Niklaw Bay as its mentioned in Malta states map. Comino is also worth a visit in winter, and is ideal for walkers and photographers. With no urban areas or cars on the island, one can easily smell the scent of wild thyme and other herbs. Comino was inhabited in the Roman period, but did not have much significance until the Knights arrived. It then had a dual role: hunting grounds and a staging post in the defence of the Maltese Islands against the Ottoman Turks.
