dominions
Lands under control
Dominions are territories or realms under sovereign control: the British dominions, the king's dominions.
The word suggests lands ruled rather than merely governed—a monarch holds dominion over dominions.
Historically, Dominion designated self-governing nations within the British Empire, like Canada and Australia.
In Christian angelology, Dominions are an order of angels exercising divine authority.
