Administrative division based around a church or "parish"

@Vanessa Cross That's fuged up

There are parishes here as well but they are for churches

Yeah

A shire is a Anglo Saxon division (the normans kept it post invasion) sheriff is the shire reeve

Yeees

"Shire" is the most common word in Australia for rural local government areas (LGAs). New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory use the term "shire" for this unit; the territories of Christmas Island and Cocos Island are also shires. In contrast, South Australia uses district and region for its rural LGA units, while Tasmania uses municipality. Shires are generally functionally indistinguishable from towns, borough, municipalities, or cities."

Parish is used in CofE and RC churches in the UK extensively
