Why is France split up in so many reagons?

the fact that France is divided into regions is the heritage of the provinces of the old regime, before the French revolution. There is some thought now that French regions are too small to compete with German landers, for example. But the French aren't bothered by these regions, as laws are everywhere the same.

What is the Atlantic province time zones?

This may be just a little confusing, but in eastern Canada there are three provinces which are collectively known as "the Maritime Provinces." They are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Often they are referred to as "the Maritimes." The three Maritime Provinces, plus the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, make up "the Atlantic Provinces." (Colloquially, the four Atlantic Provinces are often referred to as "Down East" or "Down Home.") The three Maritime Provinces are in the Atlantic time zone. Atlantic Time is one hour earlier than Eastern Time. That much is simple and straightforward. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador includes, of course, the island of Newfoundland, plus much of the eastern coast of Canada north toward Greenland, which is known as Labrador. The island of Newfoundland is in the Newfoundland time zone, which is half an hour earlier than the Atlantic time zone. Most of Labrador is in the Atlantic time zone. A small portion of Labrador, the southeast corner, is on Newfoundland Time. The French territory, the islands of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, just off the southern coast of Newfoundland, is on Atlantic time. Therefore, Canada can claim to have five and a half time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic and Newfoundland. Each of the first five is one hour different from the next, but Newfoundland is only half an hour different from Atlantic. Do you know how to pronounce "Newfoundland"? It's "Newf'nland." It rhymes with "understand." The secondary accent is on the first syllable and the primary accent is on the final syllable.

What are some state names of Nunavut?

The short answer is:There are no states in Nunavut.The long answer is:Just as the USA is divided into regions called "States", the nation of Canada is divided into regions which are either called "Territories" or "Provinces".Nunavut is the name of one of the Territories that make up the nation of Canada and so there are no "States" that make up Nunavut.Some more information:Nunavut covers a very large area in Northern Canada, but because it is so far north it has a very small population of only about 30,000 people.
