Mapnik layer is now displaying different styles for all admin_level variants that are on the wiki. If you are tagging (or have already) with boundary=admin please also add the appropriate admin_level tags for your country.
See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Talk:Key:boundary

For example: here in Spain, the NUTS1 level is an artificial classification.
Nobody in spain would use that.
And in the UK, NUTS-2 and NUTS-3 at least are artificial classifications that nobody would use.
Seriously, look
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUTS:UK
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.
Meanwhile, in OSM, admin_level is working out quite well.
