huh, country is not county,thank you! I lived in Bin hai county, Jiangsu Province, China ,when I was young. In China, a province have several cities, and a city have some counties, and a county have some villages.

What a beautiful, clear and almost perfect introduction! I had to read it several times to see if there was any mistake at all. In the United States, a county is a subdivision of a state. There are generally no language or culture differences from one county to another. (There are exceptions.) Here on italki, however, it is very multi-national! I have met many from different countries. Because of that, I can safely assume their county is different, too. I live in the county of Clark. There are other states with a Clark County, too. They are still different counties even though they share the same name. In what county do you live?
