Sub-national governments

Sub-national governments are administrative divisions within a country, such as states, provinces, regions, or municipalities. They have their own authority and responsibilities, like education, transportation, and local law enforcement, delegated by the national government. These governments enable more localized decision-making, addressing specific regional needs and preferences. They operate within the framework of national laws but have the power to manage many areas of public policy, providing governance and services closer to the people's daily lives.
