Province
The main aim of the County Administrative Board is to fulfil the goals set in national politics by the Parliament and the Government, to coordinate the interests and promote the development of the county, to establish regional goals and safeguard the due process of law in the handling of each case. The County Administrative Board is nominally a Government agency headed by a Governor. See List of Gotland Governors.
Gotland is the only Swedish county that does not have a county council, as well as having only one municipality and one area code.

Politics
Gotland County inherited its coat of arms from the province of Gotland. When it is shown with a royal crown it represents the County Administrative Board.
