Home›County›CountryBrowse ByCountryThis dimension names the country that a state or province belongs to. Wikipedia notes that an administrative unit "usually has an administrative authority with the power to take administrative or policy decisions for its area," but that authority still operates within, and answers to, one national government. Browsing by country groups a state with the rest of its own nation's states or provinces.FactsCountrySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary AssociationWell-attestedEngland (French/Latin Origin) 1CountryFilter Results8 entriesAdministrative Division TypeAllCounties (World) (8)Population BandAll1,815,165 to 3,555,818 (3)108,309 to 1,814,396 (7)3,594,363 to 5,709,444 (1)Area BandAll55 to 6,097.19 sq km (6)6,206 to 23,265.23 sq km (3)Admission or Founding EraAll1968 (1)1984 (1)1994 (1)2007 (1)2013 (1)ContinentAllAfrica (2)Europe (6)Capital CityAllDublin (1)Mombasa (1)Nairobi (1)Preston, Lancashire (1)Stockholm (1)Tallinn (1)Tirana (1)Uppsala (1)Vilnius (1)Area (sq km)All28,748 (1)45,335 (1)65,300 (1)70,273 (1)111,369 (1)242,500 (1)450,295 (1)580,367 (1)Government TypeAllConstitutional Monarchy (2)Republic (6)Income GroupAllHigh (5)Low (1)Lower-Middle (1)Upper-Middle (1)Independence or Founding YearAll1523 (1)1801 (1)1847 (1)1912 (1)1918 (2)1922 (1)1963 (1)LandlockedAllNo (8)PopulationAll1,362,954 (1)2,335,930 (1)2,897,430 (1)5,437,249 (1)5,458,600 (1)10,610,485 (1)54,200,000 (1)69,414,000 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareAlbaniaCountry1 entryEstoniaCountry1 entryIrelandCountry1 entryKenyaCountry3 entriesLiberiaCountry1 entryLithuaniaCountry1 entrySwedenCountry2 entriesUnited KingdomCountry5 entriesSources1.
