* * *Spain has long been been a diverse country, made up of different kingdoms and territories with their own languages, political institutions and legal systems. Periods of central control and uniformity, such as the Franco era, nurtured nationalist and separatist feeling in the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia. The 1978 Constitution changed Spain into a country consisting of 19 autonomous regions, known as comunidades autónomas or autonomías. These replaced the old regiones (↑ región a1). Each of them has its own parliament and government, and its relationship with the central government is governed by an estatuto. Some have more autonomy than others.The comunidades autónomas are: Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Basque Country, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, Madrid, Murcia, Navarre, La Rioja, Valencia and the North African cities of Ceuta and Melilla.

37 Generalitat
* * *SFGENERALITAT The Generalitat is the autonomous government of Catalonia. The name originally applied to the finance committee of the Catalan parliament, or Corts, in the early 13th century, but in 1932 was given to the partially devolved government granted to Catalonia under the Second Republic (1931-36). When its leader, Luis Companys, went on to proclaim the "Catalan State of the Spanish Federal Republic" in 1934, Madrid sent in the troops, and imprisoned members of the breakaway Generalitat. Catalan autonomy was restored under the Popular Front in 1936, but was abolished by Franco after the Civil War. Since his death the Generalitat has risen again under the 1978 Constitution and Catalonia now enjoys a considerable degree of autonomy from Madrid.See:ver nota culturelle LA CONSTITUCIÓN ESPAÑOLA in constitución* * *[dʒenerali'tat]•• Cultural note:la Generalitat — the autonomous government of Cataluña
