Powiat
A ''powiat'' (; ) is the second-level unit of local government and administration in Poland, equivalent to a county, district or prefecture (Local administrative unit, LAU-1 [formerly Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics, NUTS-4]) in other countries. The term "''powiat''" is most often translated into English as "county" or "district" (sometimes "poviat"). In historical contexts, this may be confusing because the Polish term ''hrabstwo'' (an administrative unit administered/owned by a ''hrabia'' (count) is also literally translated as "county". A ''powiat'' is part of a larger unit, the Voivodeships of Poland, voivodeship (Polish language, Polish ''wojewﾃｳdztwo'') or province. A ''powiat'' is usually subdivided into ''gminas'' (in English, often referred to as "Commune (administrative division), communes" or "municipality, municipalities"). Major towns and cities, however, function as separate counties in their own right, without subdivision into ''gmina''s. They ...

Czersk Land
Czersk Land (Polish: ''ziemia czerska'', named after the town of Czersk) was an administrative unit (ziemia) of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish窶鏑ithuanian Commonwealth. With its capital in the town of Czersk, it belonged to the Masovian Voivodeship. The history of Czersk Land as a separate administrative unit dates back to 1245, when Duke Konrad I of Masovia moved the seat of the castellany from Grﾃｳjec to Czersk, making Czersk the major urban and political center of southern Mazovia. In 1377, Siemowit III, Duke of Masovia called a council in Sochaczew, during which he disbanded castellanies, and following the example of the Kingdom of Poland, created ten lands, all divided into counties. Therefore, the Land of Czersk was established, with three counties: Czersk, Warka and Grﾃｳjec. It stretched from Miﾅгk Mazowiecki to Grojec, along both banks of the Vistula, including the town of Garwolin. Czersk Land was the second biggest land of the province of Mazovia, after the Land ...

Stﾄ卩ｼyca Land
Stﾄ卩ｼyca Land ( Polish: ziemia stﾄ卩ｼycka) was an administrative unit, the so called ziemia, of both the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish窶鏑ithuanian Commonwealth. The land was composed of only one county, or powiat, and had its seat in the town of Stﾄ卩ｼyca after which it was named. Until the end of the 16th century, this area was called ''ziemia'' or ''powiat'' alternatively. From the beginning of the 17th century up to its dissolution, it was usually referred to, especially in official sources, as Stﾄ卩ｼyca Land. However, this did not mean that it had special political or administrative rights as could be the case with other ziemias. It was called a land because of its peripheral geographic location, being the only county in the northeastern corner of Sandomierz Voivodeship located east of the Vistula river. Today, the territory of former Stﾄ卩ｼyca Land covers all of Ryki County, the southern part of Garwolin County, and the southwestern corner of ﾅ「kﾃｳw County. Its biggest ...
