Currently, not much, other than adding another dotted, dashed or some
combination of the two line on the map at the border, with no internal
hatch, with lower admin levels disappearing the farther you zoom out.
 Granted, I understand there may be some concern that states may look
strange with higher-than-state borders on the map overlapping, but I'm not
entirely sympathetic to the argument:  Are we trying to map for accurate
status, or are we mapping to make it look like every other map that just
ignores these jurisdictions?
