Political division of Switzerland

I believe the answer is:

canton

(Other definitions for canton that I've seen before include "port in China" , "Political district of Switzerland" , "Swiss administrative division" , "Area of Switzerland" , "part of Europe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
