Answer the following question: Information: - A municipality is usually a single urban administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and state laws, to which it is subordinate. It is to be distinguished from the county, which may encompass rural territory and/or numerous small communities such as towns, villages and hamlets. The term "municipality" may also mean the governing or ruling body of a given municipality. A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district. The term is derived from French "municipalite" and Latin "municipalis". - A county is a geographical region of a country used for administrative or other purposes, in certain modern nations. The term is derived from the Old French "conte" or "cunte" denoting a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count (earl) or a viscount. The modern French is "comte", and its equivalents in other languages are "contea", "contado", "comtat", "condado", "Grafschaft", "graafschap", "Gau", etc. (cf. "conte", "comte", "conde", "Graf"). - Bilzen is a town and a municipality located in the Belgian province of Limburg. - The County of Loon was a province of the "ancien regime" Holy Roman Empire, lying west of the Meuse river in present-day Flemish-speaking Belgium, and east of the old Duchy of Brabant.

Its territory corresponded closely to that of the current Belgian province of Limburg. Like other areas which eventually came under the power of the Prince Bishop of Liege, Loon did not become formally linked with the rest of Belgium until the French revolution, but these events also brought the county to an end.

Countries are divided up into these smaller units to make managing their land and the affairs of their people easier. For example, a country may be divided into provinces, which, in turn, are divided into counties, which, in turn, may be divided in whole or in part into municipalities; and so on. - A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.
