(Semi-)Autonomous regions

9
Most areas of the Russian Empire - even those with distinctly non-Russian populations - were part of the "regular" administrative organization of the empire. There were three exceptions:

The Grand Duchy of Finland
acquired in 1809

The Kingdom of Poland
(reconstituted from the lands acquired by Russia via the partitioning of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth under Catherine II). 

The Emirate of Bukhara

Nota bene: While geographical dictionaries, topographical surveys, and maps often include these regions in their representations of the empire, the majority of government statistics (on demography, the economy, etc.) do not.
