The county is part of a larger entity called the voivodship (Polish: województwo), and in turn usually comprises several communes, each called a gmina (plural: gminy).
Some Polish urban communes constitute administrative entities called the "urban county" (powiat grodzki), similar in local administration and self-governance to "land counties." An average county (the largest being the powiat of Białystok) comprises 5 – 8 communes.
The largest urban county, in terms of population and area, is the city of Warsaw.

Canada is a federation of ten provinces that, together with three territories, make up the world's second largest country in total area.
The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that a province receives powers directly from the Constitution Act, 1867, giving them greater competences and rights than a territory, which is delegated powers by the federal government.
The following table lists the territories in order of precedence (territories take precedence after provinces regardless of the date of their creation).

 Village - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Villages have been the normal unit of community living in most areas of the world throughout its history, up until the Industrial revolution and the ongoing process of urbanization.
Due to the vagueness of these definitions, there is some question as to which is the largest village in England.
There is no limit to the population of a village in New York; Hempstead, the largest village in the state, has 55,000 residents, making it more populous than many of the state's cities.

And many modern capital cities, such as Abuja, Canberra and Ottawa, were deliberately fixed outside existing economic areas, and may not have established themselves as new commercial or industrial hubs since.
Exceptions to these generalizations include highly centralized states such as France, whose centralized bureaucracies could effectively coordinate far-flung resources, giving the state a powerful advantage over less coherent rivals, but risking utter ruin if the capital is taken; in their military strategies, traditional enemies of France such as Germany focused on the capture of Paris.

Subnational provision of technical assistance through state, provincial, or municipal programs, or through non profits -- 501(C)(3)'s in the United States, and their equivalents elsewhere -- is far more efficient and appropriate.
Generally speaking the catchment area for such local organizations is simply too small for them to focus exclusively on employee ownership and, over time, they have come to broaden their scope to include such other admirable goals as low and middle income housing development (Common Wealth) and flexible manufacturing (ACENet).
While their regional catchment areas are not sufficient to focus on employee ownership alone, through their economic development activities they screen enough firms that some individual firms are identified as appropriate candidates for employee ownership.

 Middle East Open Encyclopedia: City   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A city is an urban area that is differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status.
A large share of a city's area is primarily taken up by housing, which is then supported by infrastructure such as roads, streets and often public transport routes such as a rapid transit system.
Although city can refer to an agglomeration including suburban and satellite areas, the term is not usually applied to a conurbation (cluster) of distinct urban places, nor for a wider metropolitan area including more than one city, each acting as a focus for parts of the area.

 directopedia : Directory : Regional : South America : Government
One approach is to define government as the decision-making arm of the state, and define the latter on the basis of the control it has over violence and the use of force within its territory.
Similarly, an entity that shared military or police power with independent militias and bandits could be considered to have a monopoly on “legitimate” violence but to be failing to enforce it, reducing its claim to statehood.
Within a territory, subnational entities may have local governments which do not have the full power of a national government (for example, they will generally lack the authority to declare war or carry out diplomatic negotiations).

 The world's top dependent area websites
Dependent territories are commonly distinguished from subnational entities of the same country since they in most cases represent a different orders of separation.
A subnational entity typically represents a division of the country proper, while a dependent territory might be an overseas territory that enjoys a greater degree of autonomy.
The areas separately referred to as non-independent are territories that are disputed, occupied, having a government in exile or with a non-negligible independence movement.

Subnational debt may be the obligation a local, regional, provincial, state government, or of projects that are sponsored by them, including projects involving the private sector through subsidies, partnerships, and concessions.
Common subnational enterprises are public utilities, such as water and sewer, electric distribution, local toll facilities, public markets, harvest processing facilities and local ports and terminals, etc. The debt is issued either by the project itself (which may be a limited-purpose special district) or on behalf of the project by the general governmental sponsor.
The security offered by (and creditworthiness of) the subnational unit, without an explicit or implicit guarantee by the national government, is often not clear.

The word "region" is taken from the Latin regio, and a number of countries have borrowed the term as the formal name for a type of subnational entity (eg, the Regions of Chile, used in Chile).
A region can also be used for a geographical area; with this usage, there is an implied distinctiveness about the area that defines it.
Such a distinction is often made on the basis of a historical, political, or cultural cohesiveness that separates the region from its neighbours.

Although it was not spared the persecution meted out to all faiths practiced in the Soviet Union, Russian Orthodoxy retained its preeminence among religiously observant Russians throughout the seven decades of officially prescribed atheism.
In the 1990s, Russians continue to constitute the largest ethnic group in all but a handful of the Russian Federation's nominally ethnic republics, but leaders in many of the republics and smaller ethnic jurisdictions have pressed the central government to grant measures of autonomy and other concessions in the name of indigenous groups.
