We don't have counties in Alberta either... the county act was
repealed in the mid 90's, but a number of the municipalities still use
the term county in their name. Saskatchewan also does not have
counties, but rather rural municipalities. Rural municipalities in
Saskatchewan and Manitoba not only exclude cities, but also towns,
villages and First Nation's reserves as well.

Interestingly, the State of Virginia also excludes cities from their
surrounding counties similar to what Alberta does.

Danville, Virginia is defined at admin level 8, with a corresponding
hole at admin level 6...
