[Talk-us] admin_level and COGs, MPOs, SPDs, Home Rule

[Michael Patrick]

The divisions and subdivision definitions are an ISO Standard, like threads
on nuts and bolts. And the 'politics' are the very least important aspect
of making the distinctions, because vast amounts of networks ( computers,
logistics, air travel ) rely on common understanding of these. Also
correlation of statistics about pretty much everything. Even in failed
states where this no effective federal government, and warlords carve out
their own territories have this stand applied.
So just change the wiki to state that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2 applies with the mappings to OSM
levels.
