Federal okrugs are administrative regions in the Russian Federation, designed to enhance governance and coordination among various federal subjects. Each okrug is overseen by a presidential envoy, who represents the federal government and ensures that policies are implemented effectively across the region. There are currently eight federal okrugs in Russia, which include areas like the Northwestern Federal Okrug and the Siberian Federal Okrug. These regions help streamline the administration of the vast country, allowing for better resource allocation and regional development while maintaining the unique characteristics of each federal subject.
