Canton (country subdivision)
A
canton is a type of
administrative division of a country. In general, cantons are relatively small in terms of area and population when compared to other administrative divisions such as

Switzerland. As the constituents of the Swiss Confederation, theoretically (and historically) the
Swiss cantons are semi-sovereign states.
