    Alaska has boroughs, not at all like NYC's, and not exactly like counties.

    Alaska does not use county names, but rather Boroughs (16) and geographical Census Areas (11).

    In addition to Louisiana and Alaska having no counties, there are two states, Connecticut and Rhode Island, that are divided into geographic regions called counties, but those counties do not have functioning governments, as defined by the Census Bureau.
