Political divisions of the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The political units and divisions of the United States include:

* The Fifty States,
which units are typically divided into counties and townships, and incorporated cities, villages, towns, and other types of municipalities, and other autonomous or subordinate public authorities and institutions; and

* The District of Columbia, which constitutes Washington, the Capital of the United States. Although the District of Columbia is not a state and does not send Senators or voting Representatives to Congress, residents can vote in presidential elections and are represented in the Electoral College.

* Indian Reservations are given quasi-independent status. While residents vote as residents of the state in which they reside and do pay federal taxes, the reservations are exempt from many state and local laws. The ambiguous nature of their status has both created opportunities (i.e. gambling in states that normally disallow it) and challenges such as the unwillingness of some companies to open up shop in a territory where they are not certain what laws will apply to them.

* The federal union, which constitutes the United States as a collective of the several states, and as it exercises exclusive jurisdiction over the military installations, and American embassies and consulates located in foreign countries; and until the District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973 had jurisdiction over the local affairs of the District of Columbia.

* Such quasi-political divisions as conservation districts and school districts, which are usually just special, geographically designated subordinate public authorities.

Altogether, there are an estimated 85,000 extant political entities in the United States. Political units and divisions of the United States are a subset of the total United States territory.
