Social Sciences - Geography / political science | | Spanish term or phrase: agencia | | From a Mexican text. I'm looking for an adequate translation for this geographic administrative unit. It is from a table and other terms include estado (state), municipio (municipality/county), cabecera (municipal seat)... but I don't how to translate "agencia." "Agency" or "office" won't do in this context. Thank you! |
