Autonomous Community

The Spanish phrase 'comunidad autónoma' translates to 'autonomous community' in English. It is an administrative division in Spain, similar to a state in the United States, with its own regional government. Each 'comunidad autónoma' has its own constitution, known as a 'Statute of Autonomy', and has powers over certain areas such as education, health, and culture. There are 17 'comunidades autónomas' in Spain, each with its own distinct history, culture, and sometimes, its own official language in addition to Spanish.
