Toronto, where I grew up, used to be part of “York County”. However, this county has not existed during my lifetime. On 1 January 1954, all municpalities south of Steeles Avenue were separated from the county and merged into the “Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto”, I.E. Toronto federated with a number of other towns (I grew up in one of these, the City of North York, though I went to high school in Toronto proper); all of these became one big amalgamated City of Toronto on 1 January 1998, shortly after I turned 18. The rest of the County was abolished in 1971 and replaced with the “regional municipality” of York with its towns federated in a similar way to how Metropolitan Toronto was (i.e. a regional council and e.g. a single police force but retaining e.g. separate fire departments). During my last sojourn in Canada, I lived in Richmond Hill, a city that forms part of that region.
I now live in the Czech Republic. It is divided in small units called “okresy” - this can be translated as “district” or “county”, but since 2003 these are no longer units of decentralization/administration; they continue to serve purposes such as court, police, or statistical areas, etc. The country is divided into bigger administrative regions (kraje). I live in the capital city, Prague, which is not part of any district/county and legally is like its own separate region.

It occurs to me that PA has three counties, Delaware, Indiana, Wyoming, whose names are the same as states. Does any other state have as many or more?
Pennsylvania has four – you missed Washington County, southwest of Pittsburgh. (31 states have a Washington County/Parish/etc.) From looking at Wikipedia’s list of counties, I think it’s tied with New York (DE, NY, WA, WY) and Arkansas (AR, MS, NV, WA) – but both of those states have counties named for themselves, which Pennsylvania doesn’t.
