Provinces of Colombia
Colombia is divided into 32 departments. These in turn are divided into municipalities, though some receive the special category of district. However, there are also provinces, a generic name applied to provinces, districts, regions and subregions. These are generally internal administrative authorities of the departments, more historical than legal. Most Colombian provinces have this kind of subdivision. Those that do not are the departments of Amazonas, Arauca, Caquetá, Casanare, Chocó, Guainía, Guaviare, Putumayo, San Andrés y Providencia, Vaupés, and Vichada.

gollark: You could express opinions and discuss things *anyway*, see.
gollark: It's a slightly different discussion channel with more constraints. It isn't particularly amazing as an innovation, and it enforces a style of communication you prefer and some don't on pain of being ignored (more).
gollark: You are assuming that people actually all thought of it as a good thing in the same way.
gollark: I think this misrepresents things on various levels, but thing.
gollark: Fascinating.
