The province of Uplandia encompasses Uppsala County.
The main aim of the County Administrative Board is to fullfil the goals set in national politics by the Parliament and the Government, to coordinate the interests of the county, promote its development, 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 Uppsala Governors. The current Governor is Anders Björck.
The County Council of Uppsala or Landstinget i Uppsala län, which is appointed by the electorate of the county, is primarily responsible for health care and public transportation.
The County of Uppsala inherited its coat of arms from the province of Uplandia. When it is shown with a royal crown it represents the County Administrative Board.
