Protestants dominions(pls christians and catholics are welcome)?

Episcopalians are Anglicans. And we are a 'bridge church', some call us Protestants, and we just call ourselves Anglican which according to us is a 4th division of the Universal Church. They are Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Protestant. The Anglican church is both Catholic and Protestant. You can even see this in a local parish. Some of us worship in a more Catholic way, and others in the same church are more like the Methodist (which came from the Anglican church). The Anglican church is the worldwide name, and each country has it's own jurisdiction and name. In the U.S. we are the Episcopal church. Now just to total confuse you, some of the parishes in the U.S. are upset with the national church ordaining a gay bishop and have broken away from the Episcopal church to form another church that is still part of the Anglican church. These churches are starting to call themselves the Anglican church of North American or something else with the word Anglican in the name.
