The Federal Territories (Spanish: Territorios Federales) is a special political division in the territory of Venezuela. Their existence is provided for in Article 16 of the National Constitution of 1999, with the national government in charge of administration according to law. Currently, there are no Federal Territories in the country because they were elevated to the category of State within the Venezuelan Federation.
