MessageThe UPU tried to get "vilayet" passed a few times, without luck. We definitely need a better name than province, and Emirate is OK with us.

MessageEmirate gives the idea of there being a monarch-like hiearchy (Emirate being a place ruled by an Emir). "Muhafazah" is the arabic term for governate, and is the most widely used name for a subnational entry i the arab world. "Mintaqah" is the term for "region" used in saudi arabia and Oman. "Qadaa" has a similar meaning, but is only used in lebanon. "Wilayah" means province, and is most widely used in the Turcic countries, the african-muslim countries, and southeast asian muslim countries.
Hence, i propose Muhafazah.
