Rhode Island is officially Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. I don't know if any other states have part of their name not being in popular use.
Louisiana calls her counties by the name parish. I don't think Alaska has counties that are called counties either. There is also another layer of government in the USA, the tribe. In some ways, the native tribes are independent of the states that they are located in.
Oh, there are cultural differences across North America, even if you don't consider Mexico part of North America. Oklahoma isn't like Alabama or Georgia, even if a lot of the names are similar, due to tribes being moved west. Virginia is different from all three. Louisiana is well, Louisiana. Texas, California, and Florida all vary from north to south, and east to west. Climate plays a part, as do settlement patterns.
There is also variation at the local and county levels. Joint city-county governments, mayors vs city managers, different types of city and town councils.
Is there any country that has different types of governments internally?
