East Equatoria State:
Eastern Equatoria is one of the 26 states of Sudan and one of 10 of Southern Sudan. It has an area of 82,542 km². Torit is the capital of the state. Under the Interim Constitution of Southern Sudan and the Sudan peace agreement the region is now governed by the semi autonomous Government of Southern Sudan.

The state shares international borders with Uganda in the south, with Kenya in the south-east and with Ethiopia in the north-east. Domestically, it's bordered by Central Equatoria in the west and Jonglei in the north. The Ilemi Triangle in the east, between Eastern Equatoria and Lake Turkana, is or has been disputed among all three abutting states (Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia).

Eastern Equatoria, like other states in South Sudan, is sub-divided into counties. These are further divided into Payams, then Bomas. Each county is headed by a County Commissioner, appointed by the President of Southern Sudan.
