> European: Country

I'm confused by the content in parentheses. are those examples of equivalence?

Since everywhere else in the world, state = country, and countries have provinces. including European countries.

Unless I misread, in which case nvm.

In Germany: US state = (federal) state (No wonder). No provinces :-) Also in German, province directly (mis-)translated to "Provinz" is a little bit of an insult.
