Seriously, look<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUTS:UK">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUTS:UK</a><br>
<br>
The problem isn't that NUTS defines made up groups of things to go between
other levels, it's just that it ignores actual administrative divisions and
makes its own ones by agglomeration, that are roughly the same population size
as each other.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, in OSM, admin_level is working out quite well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
