FOLIO Ontology

A regional governmental body, such as a state or provincial government, operates at a level below the national government but above local governments like cities or municipalities. These bodies have jurisdiction over a specific geographic area and possess their own set of powers and responsibilities, often delineated by a constitution or charter. They typically consist of executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and they manage issues more localized than those of the national government but broader than those of city or town governments. Examples include U.S. state governments, Canadian provincial governments, or Indian state governments.
