Please, notice that Italy has two autonomous provinces, not one. Autonomous region Trentino-Upper Adige or Trentino-South Tyrol is composed with two autonomous provinces: the Autonomous Province of Bozen or Bolzano (corresponding to Upper Adige or South Tyrol), having a majority of German-speaking people, and the Autonomous Province of Trento (corresponding to Trentino), which is Italian at all, but obtained authonomy to be equal to the other province of the same region. Actually, there is no longer a regional council separated from the provincial ones. Regional Council is composed with the two provincial council in joined assembly. The two Provincial Presidents are, in turn, Region Presidents. I noticed that my addition of the province of Trento was removed and I restored it. I don't understand because someone wants to cover reality. Val, Italy

For what I know Mount Athos is an Authonomous Republic inside Greece, not an authonomous region. I never heard such a definition. Though under the sovereignity of Greece it is ruled by an elected Council, made with two deputies for every monastry. Val

Please supply some kind of reference/s (ideally internet) and its designation will be amended. Thanks, David Kernow (talk) 13:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References? It's enough you surf in the Internet by words "Mount Athos" and you'll find every kind of news. By the way, Mount Athos was a Republic also when Greece was a monarchy! I find interesting the site www.mountathos.gr (in Greek, but with a translation into English) where administration system is clearfly explained, also with reference to Greek Consitution. More, if you simply digit Republic of Mount Athos, you'll find a lot of English-written sites about. Val

By what measure are Russia and China the two largest countries? China is the largest by population, and Russia by area, but China is fourth by area and Russia 8th by population. Twin Bird 00:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An anon IP user had blanked the reference to Madagascar's autonomous provinces, without explanation. Maybe it no longer belongs here?

If the Reservations in the United States and the Reserves in Canada count as autonomous areas, then why is the US colored green on the map and not Canada? --Khajidha (talk) 12:01, 10 June 2010 (UTC) Puerto Rico, perhaps89.167.85.225 (talk) 13:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beside 28 ordinary/common provinces, Indonesia has five distinct provincial-level subnational entities.

• Jakarta, as the national capital. Different to other provinces, Jakarta does not have regencial/city parliaments. Jakarta has five administrative cities and one administrative regency, in which every mayors and regent do not elected by peoples, but they are appointed by governor of Jakarta. In other provinces, mayors or regents are directly elected through local elections.
• Yogyakarta: a provincial-level special region, the governor is always Sultan of Yogyakarta, the vice-governor is always Sri Paduka Paku Alam, historical reasons.
• Aceh: unique statute, quasi-federal, local political party, sharia law, greater allocation on national budget.
• Papua: unique statute, sharia law, greater allocation on national budget.
• West Papua: unique statute, sharia law, greater allocation on national budget.

Can't help but notice our entries on Faroe & Greenland describe them as constituent countries of Kingdom of Denmark, former being autonomous province, latter being autonomous country, neither being autonomous region. Besides, shouldn,t we include constituent countries of UK/GB here? Or perhaps Aland Isles, autonomous part of Finland?89.167.85.225 (talk) 13:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Sudan is no longer a part of a larger country and therefore no longer an autonomous area and thus I have removed it from this article. If this article were to include all the previously autonomous areas it would be excessively long, for example Canada and Australia were automonomous areas of the United Kingdom when the were dominions of the united kingdom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.117.127 (talk) 20:53, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
