There are regions, departements, cantons, arrondissements, historical provinces etc

This is how France was divided during the ancient regime

Provinces is the best word, states is confusing because it can also mean sovereign states.
Departments is bad because it can mean a government agency. Regions is bad because it is too generic, the word doesn't just mean an area controlled by a subnational government.
What the UK does is just nonsense and is worse than anything else though.

we have regions

Constituent Countries > Regions > Counties > Cities/Shire Districts > Wards > Post Code areas

Special city > gu > dong

Not to the three most populated in the world. Us, Brazil and India do it so it's fairly understandable to locals

problem, uncultured muttoi*d

6 (six) designations for a country smaller than California is a bit much

I assume Brazil and India are following the USA's precedent. Same reason President became the universal term for a republican head of state.
Still confusing.

we have regions, provinces and communes.

We call them counties

My ancestor :)

That's what our states' smaller districts are called. It makes sense for a countrylet like Ireland

Here its called parishes
counties here are only used to group parishes but have no admirative use

In my hometown the districts within the states are called parishes

Normally it goes State-County but for us it's State-Parish. Louisiana has beaten the eternal Angloid culturally

I only learned today that Oblast basically just means State. Or at the very least is more or less its administrative equivalent.
