nope here (Canada) we have provinces and territories

Answer 4

No.

Some countries are divided into different regions though.

Countries such as England have 'Counties'.

Countries such as France have 'Departments'.

Countries such as Canada have 'Provinces'.

It just so happens that America's were called 'States'.

Answer 7

No.  Most of them have something similar, though, whether it is provinces or counties.

Answer 8

not necessarily states but most countries have provinces or shires or parishes that are reminiscent of states. so i guess the answer to your question is no.
