yes, I am coming from a German-Italian perspective, where Italian "regions"
are clearly less sovereign than German "states", which again are less
sovereign than US american states (all on level 4 currently).
We need the levels 5 to 10 in Germany (all are in use, 3 is not in use).
Correspondance of European entities should also be supported by the NUTS
and LAU system:
