Arabic term

مشيخة

Arabic to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
Tunisian marriage certificate. My problem here is that both :بلدية and :مشيخة appear up in the right hand corner under الحالة المدنية . In other Arab countries بلدية means "municipality" but in Tunisia مشيخة also seems to mean "municipality". Could it be that مشيخة is something like "sub-district", rather than "municipality"?
Thanks.

المعتمديّة هي تقسيم إداري يستخدم في تونس. ويمثل المستوى الثاني للتقسيم الإداري بالجمهورية التونسية، حيث ترجع المعتمدية بالنظر إلى الولاية كما تنقسم إلى بلديات (مدن) ثم إلى عمادات (مناطق) ثم إلى مجالس قروية.

These elites form a political-ideological aristocracy relative to the general group
المشيخة هي شكل من أشكال التنظيم السياسي الهرمي في المجتمعات غير الصناعية التي تقوم عادة على القرابة
