All County

First-level administrative divisions designated County, including the 47 counties Kenya adopted under its 2010 constitution and county-level divisions in other systems. Belongs here: a first-level division named County in its own country's usage. Does not belong here: a county-equivalent sub-unit nested inside a larger first-level division elsewhere, which this atlas does not track as its own state entity.
