Hello,
Thank you for using our services! :)
A province is an administrative division of a state (country). The state exercises central power over the provinces, but each province within a state has some legal autonomy. Indeed, each province of a state has its own government with its own powers.
For example, Quebec is a province of Canada and has its own government.
hope that helps!
Let us know if you need help wit anything else! :)
