Definition
A county is a geographical region of a country used for administrative or other purposes. Think of it as a division of a state, kind of like dividing up a cake into slices. 🎂 Counties often have their own local government, which is responsible for services like schools, roads, and law enforcement. Different countries use counties in different ways, but they're all about organizing larger territories. Unlike a city, which is typically urban, a county can include both urban and rural areas.
