	Subnational entity - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Subnational entity 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 in a varying number of matters.
		Confusingly, in countries that are not nation states, this may well mean that some or all "subnational" entities in reality are also national entities.
		Subnational entities are conceptually separate from dependent areas so that the former are included in the core or mainland of the respective state.

	County - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		While New South Wales was divided into counties in the early days of the colony, often preceding European settlement, hundreds, parishes and counties became dead letters for most purposes other than the registration of land ownership, which, under the Torrens title system, is centralised in the state capital of Sydney.
		The power of the county government varies widely from state to state as does the relationship between counties and incorporated municipal governments, but counties (parishes, boroughs) are always administrative divisions of the state and the power they exercise is state government power.
		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.

	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).
		In France, in Spain and in Italy provincia is a tertiary form of government, akin to a county, within a region.
