Basic People's Congress (country subdivision)

Basic People's Congress Arabic: مؤتمر شعبي أساسي‎ (Mu'tamar shaʿbi asāsi ) was the smallest administrative subdivision in Libya under the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2012. Geographically it corresponded approximately to the level of a township or borough.

Under Muammar Gaddafi's regime, political caucuses and committees of the Basic People's Congress operated at this level.[1] Representatives from the Basic People's Congresses regulated operations at the higher shabiyah (district) level.[1]

In July 2013 the shabiyat and Basic People's Congress system was replaced with a new baladiyat system[2] of ninety-nine first-level administration subdivisions.[3]

gollark: Right now page names are basically just treated as opaque strings. But this is somewhat bad as links and stuff should probably not be case-sensitive. I can make SQLite just match case-insensitively, but I feel like this could lead to badness elsewhere.
gollark: Hmm. It may be necessary to do something in minoteaur™ to prevent [REDACTED]-29 "case mismatch" issues.
