Autonomous province is a term for a type of province that has administrative autonomy. [1] In political history, the term has been used as a designation for various types of autonomous entities, at medium levels of administrative hierarchy. In relative terms, an autonomous province usually has less autonomy than an autonomous state , but more autonomy than an autonomous region . Administrative autonomy of a province can be expressed in its official name, by the use of a particular term designating the autonomy, but such a term can also be omitted. In that case, the autonomous status of a province can be determined on the basis of relevant legal provisions.
