Cantons, known by various other names such as counties, are geographic divisions within a province, whether organized as such due to natural barriers that caused them to develop with distinctions from other cantons or simply designed to be administrative divisions making managing a province easier. Not every province is divided into cantons, but every canton is part of a province.
Cantons may be extremely close in culture and distinguished primarily only by geographical or topographical features, or they may be extremely different, as if they were unique provinces themselves. Many provinces tend to follow a pattern, either one of cantons tending to be very similar or one of them tending to be very different.
