Everything about Subnational totally explained
Administrative divisions are divisions of a
political division. In other words, they're designated portions of a country. They are also called
subnational entities. They are each granted a certain degree of
autonomy, and are required to manage themselves through their own
local governments. Countries are divided up into these smaller units to make managing their land and the affairs of their people easier. For example, a country may be divided into
provinces, which in turn are divided into
counties, which in turn may be divided in whole or in part into
municipalities. These are only a few of the names given to administrative subdivisions; more examples are provided below.
Administrative divisions are a type of
country subdivision, and can overlap with the other types. The other types of country subdivision generally don't have governments.
Administrative divisions are conceptually separate from
dependent areas, in that the former are included in the core or mainland of the respective
state.
