Indian Anglicanism is divided into the Church of North India, and the Church of South India. The Diocese in Europe (formally the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe), in the Province of Canterbury, is also present in Portugal and Spain. The Episcopal Church, USA-affiliated Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe has affiliates in Austria, Belgium, France, Georgia, Germany and Italy.</div>|center]] The Anglican Communion consists of forty-two autonomous [[Ecclesiastical Province#Anglican Communion|provinces]] each with its own [[primate (bishop)|primate]] and governing structure. These provinces may take the form of national churches (such as in Canada, Uganda, or Japan) or a collection of nations (such as the [[West Indies]], Central Africa, or Southeast Asia). {| class="wikitable sortable" style="width: 100%;" |- !
