Since 1983, the Balearic Islands have been an autonomous community of Spain, along with sixteen others. The government of the Balearic Islands is based in Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Mallorca. Menorca itself still has an Island Council or "Consell Insular", just like the other major islands of the Balearic Islands.
