RED-back race Karesidenan
It begins with the Kabadanan (subdistrict) race, and then the Kabupaten
(district) race, until reaching the final Karesidenan race.
(^1) Historically, kabadanan, kabupaten, and karesidenan are three levels of governmental
units. The kabadanan is a subdistrict level, made up of small villages. Several kabada-
nan comprise the kabupaten, essentially equivalent to a county level of government.
The karesidenan is made up of the four kabupaten of Madura, Bangkalan, Sampang,
Pamekasan, and Sumenup. Of the three, only the kabupaten has a role in modern gov-
ernment.
