What is the difference between a state, province, and prefecture?
I'm just wondering. Is there a difference? What are the differences? Examples of countries that use each term and why they are used?
-
[u]I might know the differences now:[/u] [b]State:[/b] A state is given its own government, which is governed by a larger government along with other states that also have their own governments. [b]Province:[/b] A province is a division similar to a state but is not assigned their own governments, but are governed by a single government. [b]Prefecture:[/b] A prefecture has something to do with religion. That Rome was divided into prefectures accordingly to the Roman Catholic Church, and that Japan divides their prefectures accordingly to the Buddhist Church. I think I understand, now! :D

Well "State" was once completely interchangeable with the word nation, which is why the US used that term for the individual colonies, which in the beginning practically were separate nations with a loose bond of a higher government (think even less functional EU).

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RustedEdge ... Dictionary.com?[/quote] I tried Dictionary.com but it wasn't very helpful. It only showed definitions (which is what I expected). I need to know the differences and why they are used by certain countries (such as the U.S., Canada, and Japan).

State: ( often capital ) one of a number of areas or communities having their own governments and forming a federation under a sovereign government, as in the US. Province: An administrative division or unit of a country. Perfecture: The district administered or governed by a prefect. Well, that's all I got. [Edited on 12.21.2011 7:18 PM PST]
