Administrative divisions[1] (also administrative units,[2][3][4] administrative regions,[5] subnational entities, or constituent states, as well as many similar generic terms) are geographical areas into which a particular independent sovereign state is divided. Such a unit usually has an administrative authority with the power to take administrative or policy decisions for its area.[3] Administrative divisions are often used as polygons in geospatial analysis.[6]
