Should we go a bit further and strip out all is_in tags not used by Nominatim across Britain (which may mean all of them), or are there other uses we should consider? The community in France did that when they finished mapping communes.<br>

Hi<br>
I'm unsure if Northern Ireland, Wales & England should be tagged as 'states'.<br>
<br>
A new user's changeset comment:<br>
Adding more info. is_in:country_code was missing. Also classified Northern Ireland as a state so it appears in the same priority as Wales. Was unclassified before<br>

<div> We are not a federated country. Suggest we revert it. Why is Wales a state in the first place.</div>
