A canton is a territorial subdivision of a country, e.g., region or state. The word is derived from the Latin
canto "section of a country." Cantons are generally relatively small in terms of area and population when compared to areas such as
counties,
departments or
provinces. The most internationally well-known cantons, which are the most politically important in their country's political system are those of
Switzerland. The Swiss cantons are theoretically partially sovereign states.
