counties (political divisions, divisions (political administrative bodies), ... Organizations (hierarchy name)) |

Note: The domains or territories of counts. In current usage, usually refers to particular divisions that have been made to an area for administrative, judicial, and political purposes. In Britain, counties are defined by various official methods, and serve as the most important divisional units in the country. In the United States, counties are the political and administrative divisions below the state and above the city; a few U.S. states call such divisions "districts" or "parishes" rather than "counties."

Additional Notes: |

| Chinese (traditional) ..... 指伯爵的地產或領地。在現代的用法中，郡通常用來表示為了行政、司法以及政治目的而在一地區劃分之特定區域。在英國，郡以多種法定方法來定義，被視為國家中最重要的分區單位。在美國，郡是在州之下、城市之上的政治與行政劃分區域；少數州稱這類劃分區域為「區」或「教區」，而非「郡」。 |
