First, we have the city, which is the smallest political division as it represents a specific urban area. Next, we have the parish, which is a larger division that encompasses multiple cities or towns. Then, we have the state, which is a higher level division that includes multiple parishes. Finally, at the top of the hierarchy, we have the country, which is the largest political division and encompasses multiple states.Rate this question:
