US: Federal (central) State County City Japan: National (central) Prefectural (Provence) City government =/= State government. It is generic. "Government" implies one or all of those, so it needs to be defined in speech: “State government” “Federal Government” , etc. I would assume the admin level attached would define the level. We have an extra layer (the state) because Japan is basically the size of California, and a county is roughly equivalent to a region or prefecture there. And there are 50 states (of various sizes).
