Quirks in names of subnational entities

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'm not sure if this is the right board for this; mods, feel free to move it.

I'm pretty sure we've had threads in the past about countries with odd full names--the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, the defunct Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, and so forth--but I don't think we've had one about subnational entities.

Just starting with what I'm familiar with, there's the fact that Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Kentucky are all "the Commonwealth of" rather than "the State of". Rhode Island's full name is "the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" ("plantations" is apparently not an allusion to slavery but understandably sets a lot of black activists' teeth on edge nevertheless). My hometown of Greenfield, the greatest small city in America (even greater than Hudson!), decided to keep the name "the Town of Greenfield" to communicate a self-image as a tightly-knit community even after adopting a city form of government in 2003. There are apparently about a dozen other cities towns in the state commonwealth in the same situation.

Any others?

Near Greenfield there's also the village of Montague City, a CDP (I think) in the Town of Montague.

There is also the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in Russia, which isn't very Jewish and certainly isn't autonomous.
