ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Governorate

Okay kiddo, so imagine you have a big playground with lots of toys and games. There might be some big kids or adults who help make sure that everything is safe and fair for everyone who wants to play.

Well, in some countries, they have something like a big playground called a country, and it is divided up into smaller areas called governorates. Kind of like if you had a play area just for playing with LEGOs, and you might divide it up into different sections for different types or colors of bricks.

Each governorate has a person in charge called a governor, who helps make sure that everything is running smoothly and safely for the people who live there. They might help plan new roads, buildings, or hospitals, and make sure that schools, police, and other important things are working well.

Just like how a big kid or adult might help make sure everyone gets a turn on the swings or that nobody is being mean or hurting others, a governor helps make sure that nobody is being treated unfairly and that everyone has what they need to live happy and healthy lives.
