Definition
属地 is a formal term for a territory under the jurisdiction of a state or government, often used in political geography, legal documents, and business contexts (e.g., a company's subordinate branch or jurisdiction area). It is not a common everyday word — you'll encounter it in news about territorial disputes, administrative divisions, or corporate regional management.
