The developing regions of Romania have no administrative role, but were formed in order to manage funds from the European Union as of 2007, Romanian prefects are not politicians, but public functionaries. They are not allowed political party membership, and are banned from political activity in the first six months after resigning (or being excluded) from the public functionaries' corps. w, x, y, and z are digits that indicate the city, the street, part of the street, or even the building of the address x is a digit indicating the operator: 2 for the former national operator, Romtelecom, and 3 for the other ground telephone networks used on both the plates of the vehicles that operate only in the county limits (like utility vehicles, ATVs, etc.), and the ones used outside the county

Bistrița-Năsăud (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈbistrit͡sa nəsəˈud] ) is a county (județ) of Romania, in Transylvania, with the capital city at Bistrița.

Name

In Hungarian, it is known as Beszterce-Naszód megye, and in German as Kreis Bistritz-Nassod. The name is identical with the county created in 1876, Beszterce-Naszód County (Template:Lang-ro) in the Kingdom of Hungary (the county was recreated in 1940 after the Second Vienna Award, as it became part of Hungary again). Except these, as part of Romania, until 1925 the former administrative organizations were kept when a new county system was introduced. Between 1925–1940 and 1945–1950, most of its territory belonged to the Năsăud County, with smaller parts belonging to the Mureș, Cluj, and Someș counties.

Demographics

On 31 October 2011, it had a population of 277,861 and the population density was 51/km (130/sq mi).

• Romanians – 89.9%
• Hungarians – 5.3%
• Roma – 4.3%
• Germans (Transylvanian Saxons) – 0.1%

83.1% of inhabitants were Romanian Orthodox, 6.3% Pentecostal, 4.6% Reformed, 2.3% Greek-Catholic, 1.2% Roman Catholic, 0.8% Baptist, 0.7% belonged to "another religion", 0.5% Seventh-day Adventist and 0.5% other or none.
