Province

Province is a name for a subnational entity of government usually one step below the national level. In some countries an alternative term is used, e.g. state or department.

The word was introduced by the Romans, who divided their empire in to provinciae. The word is thought to have originated from the Latin word provincia (zone of influence); probably from pro ("in front") and vincia ("linked").
