Established by the Law on Guidance for the Planning and Development of the Territory (L.O.A.D.T., known as the Pasqua Law) of 4 February 1995, the concept of a country was specified in the Law on Guidance for the Planning and Sustainable Development of the Territory (L.O.A.D.D.T. No. 99-533, known as the Voynet Law) of 25 June 1999 and its implementing decree (Decree No. 2000-909 of 19/09/2000). A country, within the meaning of the Act of 4 February 1995, is a territory with geographical, cultural, economic or social coherence. The law of 25 June 1999 makes the country a real project territory, based on local will. The country is thus a project space for which public and private actors build from local potential a sustainable development project. On the basis of the delimitation of a study area agreed by the Prefect of the Region, a development council is set up to draw up a charter of sustainable development of the country and formulate an opinion on any question of spatial planning of the country. Subsequently, a management structure is set up, the country’s managing body, which translates the guidelines of the charter into an action programme, the country contract.

Article 79 of the MAPTAM Law offers the territories a new tool, the Pôle d'quilibr Territorial and Rural, which is also included in the new Article L. 5741-1 of the CGCT, referring to Article L. 5711-1 of the same code, governing the closed joint union composed solely in the present case of public establishments of intercommunal cooperation with own taxation.

1995年2月4日颁布的《领土规划与发展指导法（L.O.A.D.T.，又名帕斯卡法）》确立了"地域领地"的概念，该概念后经1999年6月25日颁布的《领土规划与可持续发展指导法（L.O.A.D.D.T. 第99-533号，又名瓦涅法）》及其配套实施条例（2000年9月19日第2000-909号政令）进一步明确。
根据1995年2月4日法案的定义，地域领地指具备地理、文化、经济或社会一致性的区域。1999年6月25日的法案将地域领地确立为基于地方自主意愿的实质性项目型区域，即公共与私营主体依托本地发展潜力共同打造可持续发展项目的空间载体。经大区区长商定划定研究区域范围后，将成立发展委员会，负责制定该地域领地的可持续发展宪章，并就该地域领地的所有空间规划相关问题出具意见。后续将设立专属管理架构——地域领地管理机构，将宪章的指导方针转化为具体行动方案，即"地域领地契约"。
《MAPTAM法案》第79条为各辖区提供了一项全新政策工具："领土与乡村平衡发展极"。该工具同时被纳入《地方行政总法典（CGCT）》新增的第L.5741-1条，该条款援引《地方行政总法典》第L.5711-1条，规范仅由拥有独立征税权的跨市镇合作公共机构组成的封闭式联合组织。
