The '''Southern Provinces''' or '''Moroccan Sahara''' are the terms used by the [[Morocco|Moroccan]] government for [[Western Sahara]]. These two official Moroccan denominations explicitly include all of Western Sahara, which spans three of country's [[Regionsregions of Morocco|12 top-level administrative regions]] (although only one region lies entirely within Western Sahara). A frequent use of the term "Southern Provinces" is found for example in Moroccan [[state media|state television]] (weather forecasts, displayed maps on the news, government statements, etc.).
