Editing Premier (section)

==Relationship to the term "prime minister"==
"Premier" is often the title of the heads of government in [[administrative division|sub-national entities]], such as the [[provinces and territories of Canada]], [[States and territories of Australia|states]] of the [[Commonwealth of Australia]], [[provinces of South Africa]], the island of [[Nevis]] within the Federation of [[Saint Kitts and Nevis]]. In some of these cases, the formal title remains "Prime Minister" but "Premier" is used to avoid confusion with the national leader. In these cases, care should be taken not to confuse the title of "premier" with "prime minister". In these countries, terms such as "Federal Premier", "National Premier" or "Premier of the Dominion" were sometimes used to refer to prime ministers, although these are now obsolete.
