Spanish to English Social Sciences Government / Politics structure of government (Argentina)
This text is part of a legal description of the Argentine Republic:

En Argentina se denomina provincia a cada uno de los 23 estados federados con autonomía plena que forman parte de la Nación y que son jurídicamente preexistentes a ella, según los principios del federalismo establecidos en la Constitución Nacional. Jurídicamente Argentina se constituyó como una federación de provincias, and mantiene por mandato constitucional los nombres históricos de Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata y Confederación Argentina, además de República Argentina (**el único usual**).

"The National Constitution adopted in 1853 included the name "República Argentina" (Argentine Republic) among the official names with which to refer to the government and territory of the Nation.
As I understand it, there are the "historic names" and "Argentine Republic", but the latter is the only one wide used.
I don't think there's any set phrase for this phenomenon.
Note from asker:
Thank you, Neil. That makes perfect sense.
Thanks again. I was parsing the sentence incorrectly because I didn't realize that the phrases were different names for Argentina. Something like quotation marks or italics would have helped.
