	Administrative division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Administrative division is a generic term for an administrative region within a country — on an arbitrary level below that of the sovereign state — typically with a local government encompassing multiple municipalities, counties, or provinces with a certain degree of autonomy.
		Administrative divisions are conceptually separate from dependent areas, in that the former are included in the core or mainland of the respective state.
		Administrative divisions are distinguished from political divisions, as the former are entirely contained within a sovereign state.

	County - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Swedish division into counties was established in 1634, and was based on an earlier division into Provinces.
		Unlike cities, which are municipal corporations with a degree of sovereignty granted by the state, counties have no powers of their own but merely exercise powers of state government that have assigned to their jurisdiction, either by the state constitution or the state legislature.
		Metropolitan municipalities are consolidated city and county governments, which simultaneously operate as administrative divisions of and subordinate to state power and as municipal corporations that exercise whatever degree of sovereignty the state government or constitution confers upon them.

	Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The word provincia was given its territorial administrative meaning by the Romans, when they divided their empire into provinciae, but in many senses these were long more like modern colonies, being exploited without equal rights, which were ironically granted from the start to the coloniae, which were smaller local settlements, often founded for veterans.
		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), land (in Austria, Germany), department (in Bolivia, Uruguay), or prefecture (in Japan).
		The historic division of responsibility in federal constitutions is inevitably subject to multiple overlaps.
