[OSM-newbies] Administrative boundaries

[James Ewen]

What do you need to do to get administrative boundaries working?

Looking at the US data, they have national, state, and county
boundaries displayed. I attempted to copy the tags that seemed to be
used to render these features on the map, but I don't get anything in
my area.

I tried defining the boundary of the province of Alberta, and also the
boundary of Strathcona County. None of this has been rendered as seen
in the US data... How do I determine which tags are required to get a
feature rendered?
