Jurisdiction

The term jurisdiction usually refers to a nation state but can also refer to a self-governing region that is not fully independent e.g. the UK's Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories and some French and Dutch protectorates.

A jurisdiction has a national government i.e. it is the highest tax setting authority within its domain.

Compare with sub-national governments.
