| | Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In modern languages, a province is a secondary level of government in many countries, while other use alternative terms for similar entities, such as state (in Australia, Brazil, India, Mexico and the United States), canton (in Switzerland), land (in Austria, Germany), department (in Bolivia, Uruguay), or prefecture (in Japan). |
| | The central and provincial governmental functions, or areas of jurisdiction, are identified in a constitution. |
| | In Peru, provinces are a tertiary unit of government, as the country is divided into twenty-five regions, which are then subdivided into 194 provinces. |
