Ministry of Justice - Territorial Office for the Balearic Islands


Explanation:
Yo recomiendo 'Territorial' en vez de 'Regional' por tratarse de una jurisdicción constitucionalmente específica, es decir un Territorio. Una alternative, siguiendo una analogía norteamericana, podría ser 'Insular'.

neutral  Nigel Wheatley: 'Regional' is clearer to a British ear; it is understood that the region is defined somehow (in this case by a Ley Orgánica, not by the Constitution), whereas a 'territory' sounds more vague
