Autonomous area
Autonomous areas are places or regions that have their own laws and rules, and are not governed by a central country or government. Think of them like cities that have their own laws, instead of following the laws of the country they're in. Some examples of autonomous areas are Hong Kong and the state of Hawaii in the United States.
