The county-level administrative structure in Cartadania is a complex, multifaceted system that serves as a critical component of the nation's governance. With four distinct types of jurisdictions at this level—counties (comarcas), parishes (paróquias), municípios, and merindades—each playing a unique role, this system reflects the country's evolution in the realm of local governance and regional diversity. | |||

In the majority of states and territories, counties, known as comarcas, serve as essential administrative divisions. These counties play multifaceted roles, often encompassing cities, towns, villages, or even just specific areas within a city. Some counties are coterminous with their municipalities, such as [[Lua, São Ricardo|Lua]] in [[São Ricardo]] and [[New Venceia]] in [[Alexandria]], with the city government operating as both the county and local authority. Others, like Malta County in Alexandria, remain undivided, lacking additional subdivisions. Notably, certain states, primarily [[Acara]] and [[Triessa]], feature independent cities that exist outside the county structure, functioning as equivalent entities to counties. In a few regions, the nomenclature and functions of county-level entities diverge. [[Milan]], [[Miraflores]], [[Porta Bianca]], and [[Providência]] employ the term "parishes" to describe their county equivalents, while [[Santa Domenica]] and [[Santa Elena]] use "municípios." [[Calexia]] and [[Navarra]] uniquely refer to their county-like divisions as "merindades." Despite these distinctions, the federal government treats all these entities as counties, emphasizing uniformity in the broader framework. | In the majority of states and territories, counties, known as comarcas, serve as essential administrative divisions.
